- If the Philippines doesn’t already capture your heart with its friendly people or it’s pristine beaches, the food is sure to do it. This beautiful country is made up of over 7,000 islands, and Cebu is known for being one of the greatest islands to visit for noteworthy Filipino food. Using ingredients from both the land and the sea, Cebu’s cuisine offers a unique mix of Spanish, Chinese, and indigenous flavors, with it’s crowning specialty being the mouth-watering lechon. Join us as we try Filipino food for the first time ever in Cebu City and share our first impressions of both the food and the country altogether! 🇵🇭

The Philippines is our 23rd country, and as always, we started it off with a thorough food tour!!! 🇵🇭 We surprisingly never got the chance to truly try Filipino food until that day, so all first impressions and opinions were genuine! Have you tried any of these foods, and if so, what’s your favorite? 🤗
You ordered the best Filipino dishes. ❤
Try lecheon roasted suckling pig. Cebu is known for having the best tasting version of it. To me, this is their signature dish for the region.
Im glad you made it in the Philippines.🇵🇭 Enjoy your stay, our food & culture.
You spoke truthfully: Filipinos are among the friendliest and happiest people I have known. I’m glad you sampled sinigang, lechon, adobo, and lumpia; they are some of my favorites. Halo-halo is the best on a hot day, and every place seems to have their own way of making it. I hope you also get to taste pancit, pandesal, and any kind of sticky rice. If you go to Luzon you must visit the Banaue rice terraces. ♥️ Have a great time!
You need to stay longer in order for you to tour each food and delicacy specialized by each island.
Hi, Filipino-American here originally from Cebu. I’m glad you made it there! Enjoy!
How cool!!! 🥰 We LOVE your country of origin and all its delicious food and friendly people. It’s an honor to visit and share our adventures on Cebu! 💖🇵🇭
If you like delicious food, then Cebu, Philippines is for you. The restaurants that you visited served very savory dishes. You sold me on the Philippines!
Absolutely!!! The Philippines is a fantastic destination for any food lover, and we’ve truly been in food paradise on Cebu island! 😁
So ur sold on Philippines that means I haven’t been there right so y say cebu food is delicious?
@@ChadandClairecap 🧢. the Philippines has the worst cuisines amongst it's asian neighbors eugh
Thanks that Philippines u choose to travel and learn more about our country..enjoy life and be safe...
Thank you for your kind wishes!!! 🥰 It’s an honor for us to experience your country! 💕🇵🇭
So excited you made it to the Philippines! A lot of Filipino food tends to be either salty or packed with flavor, so a lot of those foods are meant to be eaten with rice to break up that saltiness !
YES! Salty indeed- and perfect to pair with rice! 😋🍚 It was by far some of the most flavorful food we’ve ever tried! Everything had such complexity in flavor! 🇵🇭
Wow! Fun time. You guys seem to be much more comfortable and accesable, Great relaxed presentation. Thanks for sharing and being you!
Thank you for being so kind!!! 💘 This means a whole lot to us both! 🥰😁
You guys convinced us to go to Iceland 2 years ago, and now you visited my hometown. Hope you enjoyed Cebu. I love watching your videos.❤
Hey you two just bumped into your video and I haven't seen both of you for awhile now since your van life videos! glad to see you both again and enjoy your trip!!☺
Im from Cebu City, but you eat the Lechon Kawali variant of Lechon you need to try the Ordinary Lechon Style you can try it in like Rico's Lechon, Cebuchon Lechon, House of Lechon or Car Car City Lechon...enjoy 😎
Hi Chad and Claire! Thank you for visiting our country. I hope you had a memorable trip and enjoyed the beach, the people and the food! Just want to share some food tips for future visit again ☺️, Kare-kare tastes better when you put a bit of the shrimp paste to it and with the plain rice, and for the Halo-halo, try to mix them all together ☺️.
First and love your videos food looks good by the way ❤
Thank you so much!!! 🥰 We honestly loved everything we got to try! 😋
So glad you finally made it to the Philippines. I was screaming at you when you dipped the lechon in both sauces.😂 😂😂
Then Claire eats sinigang with the Ladle just cracked me up.
When eating filipino dishes you mostly eat it with rice, especially dishes that have sauces like the Kare-kare, it just taste better. 😊
Your food tours are always so excellent and thorough! So glad that you guys are here in the Philippines 🥳
Yay!! Thanks for visiting and featuring our home country!! Enjoy!! 🎉 Philippine mangoes are the best in the world!!
⭐️ Our food almost always goes with rice; you’ll find it on the more salty side; because you literally have to get a little rice and whatever dish in every spoonful. It balances out in that way.
Great vlog today, guys! Btw, Claire is giving me some Taiwanese vibes. I was born, raised, and live in Taiwan, so when she mentioned Lu Rou Fan 滷肉飯 (Taiwanese Braised Pork over rice), it rang a bell in my head. Am I correct to say her parents immigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan?😊Fun fact: there are over 250,000 Filipino Overseas Foreign Workers (OFW's) living and working in Taiwan.
Yes!!! I’m Taiwanese-American, and it makes me so happy that you could sense the Taiwanese side of me! 😁 And that is a fascinating fact! 🤯 I had no idea there were SO many in Taiwan! Thank you for sharing! 💖
You should try d real lechon in cebu, the whole roasted pig kind. Not just d lechon ka wala. Cebu s famous for their whole roasted pigs. And try visiting attractions south of cebu city like beaches n resorts. Have a pleasant stay in d Philippines ❤
So happy to be in your country!!! 🥳🇵🇭 Yes, we definitely need to find the whole roasted pig! The lechon kawali was already sooo good- I can only imagine how good the real deal is! 😋 Thank you so much for watching! 💖
I'm Filipino living in SoCal, and I'm really happy to see other than Filipinos enjoy our homegrown dishes. The ones you tried are Pinoy faves. Glad you liked them. They're eaten family style with rice. Rice is a staple on Filipino food. We eat rice for breakfast (should try tocilog, losilog, tapsilog or bansilog---cured pork, Filipino sausage, marinated beef, and milk fish respectively, each served with garlic fried rice and fried egg), lunch and dinner. Next time you have halo-halo, mix it up (that's why it's called 'mix mix') Thanks for this video, I enjoyed watching it. Try pancit bihon, and pancit Malabon ( noodles), for dessert, try sans rival (it's my fave) , seafood-- adobong pusit (squid), last, but not the least, green mango shake. Yummy :)
That is absolutely fascinating! The hotel we stayed at served rice with breakfast, and as rice lovers, we LOVED it! 🥰🍚 Thank you for your tips and recommendations- I’m happy to say we had the chance to try many mango shakes, and they were some of the best fruit shakes we’ve ever had! Fruit in the Philippines is on another level! 😋🥭
Your voice is so sweet! ♡
Was there Cebu and Manila and Hanoi and Bangkok last year 2023 few days all citys .Love there food.
Wow!!! What a fun tour- we haven’t gotten the chance to see Manila or Hanoi yet, but it’s on our list! 😁😁😁 I’ve heard both cities have AMAZING street food! 😋
I’m so glad you visit my home country. The food and the ppl are top notch. I consider the Philippines as the melting pot of the Far East with a Spanish flair. Enjoy and safe travels.
Welcome to the Philippines. One thing with our cuisine is that 95% of entreés is meant to be eaten with rice. Now, the quintessential "sauce" with any Pinoy foods, especially when it comes to fried, meats, or seafood, is the vinegar and soy sauce combo. The pink sauce with the lechon kawali is vinegar with onions. Optional items to put into the sauce are garlic and tomatoes. Man, I'm so hungry now. Enjoy
I love you guys. Thank-you for trying our fhillipino food. I so miss it living in America
Love this ❤ you have to mix the halo-halo
Thank you so much!!! 💘🥰 Hahaha after we ate half the halo-halo, we got a good mix, and all the flavors paired surprisingly well! Now, we crave halo-halo! 😂 It’s such a unique dessert! 🍨
I really liked this Philippines food video. You got typical dishes that many vloggers have, but you also had other dishes that I don’t usually see or never heard of. When I do travel Philippines, I will definitely go back to this vlog for reference.
This is such a kind comment- thank you!!! 🥹💖 We’re so glad we could share a couple of dishes you might not have heard of before! 😁 Excited for you to visit this lovely country in the future and delight in their cuisine! 🇵🇭🥰
So happy you guys there in my home place. Have fun & always love your vlogs ❤😊
Guys thanks for sharing food looked interesting. The Philippines are amazing. Say safe and have fun. Cheers 🍧🍧
Thank you! 🥰💖 It was so fun to try so many new foods and share our first impressions on them all! 😂😁
New subs here. Welcome to the Philippines 🇵🇭 ♥️ 😊
Thank you for subscribing- so happy to have you along on the adventure!!! 💖😁
Yup. Humba has its roots in hong-ba or hong shao rou
Ahhh my birthplace! And better yet, I’m going back in May!
❤ thank you for the sweet memories of the motherland, you had me at Kare - kare, this was by far your best vid trip…I’m a little biased 😊
Hi I'm enjoying watching you're vedios I'm rhea from cebu with filipinalipstick
Lechon and Lechon Kawali are two totally different dishes but both are delicious. what you ate is "Lechon Kawali". Cebu is known for having the best Lechon.
Welcome to the Philippines!!!enjoy and keep safe.🇵🇭
It’s not taro, it’s ube ice cream. You have to mix the ice cream with everything to make it tastier.
The halo halo is supposed to be mixed altogether by you as you eat it. The ice cream in top is usually ube.
Hey guys, One thing you didn't know that I love Philippines so much because it is beautiful and entertaining place out there. I would love to go there so badly and enjoy myself put there. I would love to try Lumpia, Filipino breads and even Halo Halo which means mix mix in Filipino. I do learn some Filipino phrases too. You would love it there! Mabuhay Pilipinas! 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
It has become my favorite of South East Asia too!
We LOVE the Philippines!!! 💘 It’s such a special country with some of the smiliest people we’ve ever met. And the food is outstanding! We are so happy we got to visit, and we’re determined to visit even more islands! 😁🇵🇭
you should have gone to sugbo mercado in it park too, alot of food adventure there
Loved the food. I have a Filipino friend who always shared her delicious food with me. Yum 😋
Oh, how lucky!!! 🥰 We need a Filipino friend who will share their delicious food with us hahahah 😂 We’re obsessed with the cuisine! 🇵🇭
On a spoon, you combine the kare-kare dish with rice💖 Your restaurant halo-halo is BEAUTIFUL 💘🤗💘
Love you guys! But a few suggestions... Eat all viands with rice! Rice is life for Filipinos... And the Halo Halo, mix it as you go down so it's not that sweet♥️
Netflix featured Cebu in its series called Street Food Asia!
No way!!! We’re going to go watch that episode tonight! 😁😁😁
we have a lot of different versions of adobo, sisig, etc.. for adobo we can have it with any meat..even squid adobo, goat meat adobo, etc
Intro sound like I'm about to watch a documentary.
Pro tip though, try the dishes with rice, cause they're all traditionally made to be paired with rice. Overall, good first impressions.
I'm a fan of yours - so happy to see you in my motherland! I hope you guys had a blast there.
SO happy to finally be visiting your ✨motherland✨ 😁 We loved every second of our time there, and we’re already thinking about returning in the future! 🇵🇭
Just discover your channel because of this Philippine video,now i am a fan.
By the way,you have to mix altogether the Halo halo to thoroughly enjoy the flavors.
Welcome in the Philippines 🇵🇭 and mabuhay.
Thank you for the great vlog!! Question: is the tap water and ice safe?
the secret for filipin soup like the sinigang, you mix it with your rice and add a bit of fish sauce..
im so nervous when you tried the sinigang, sinigang is my favorite but usually foreigners don't like the sourness of it. But im glad that you get it, im so proud.
Yay! ❤
Welcome to the Philippines, a little heads up for you both, when pronouncing Filipino words, we don’t slang them and we just use the vowels as is, for food every dish goes with rice, we use spoon and fork not knife and fork, try the inexpensive version of the dishes found in places called a “karendirya” or “turo turo” where you just point to a particular dish and they will plate it for you
Try to eat other Filipino foods and delicacies… you will love it. Thanks for visiting Philippines… enjoy ur stay.
Wow Philippines is where I was born and grew up but I’m from La Union ( Northern Philippines). Went to college in Manila and you should see Manila too. Enjoy!!!
That is so cool- we love your country of origin so much! 💖💖💖 We really want to check Manila out as well! 😁🇵🇭 We definitely have to visit more islands! There’s so much to see!
Shrimp paste complement Kare-Kare
Every time i see foreigners eat halo halo without mixing it makes me wanna go there in front of them and mix it for them 😅 bcoz u can never have the full experience of eating it if u dont mix it. But cant blame u, its not something u guys are used to eating. Nw, have fun and enjoy ur stay in the Philippines 🇵🇭 😊 love your videos!
I'm Filipino and I found this video so hard to watch because I'm presently eating cold pizza LOL, I WANT EVERYTHING that you showcased! Tomorrow, I'll drop by the local Filipino Food place and get some Ox Tail Kare Kare, Chicken Adobo and Pork BBQ 🙂
Hahahaha not the cold pizza 😂😂😂 Thank you so much for watching, even though it made you ~hungry~ 😁😋 Even while I was editing, my mouth was watering so much, I had to take frequent snack breaks 😂
The sauce for lumpia is sweet & sour sauce or some use banana ketchup💖
Most Filipino entree are eaten with rice. Kare Kare dip meat im shrimp paste then spoon full of rice. Same withe the Lechon Kawali dip and eat rice😊
Don't forget that we Filipinos have special love affairs with rice. Plain rice is eaten with dishes that have very bold flavors because they are meant to be eaten with rice. Such dishes are called “ulam” in Tagalog and viand in English. You don't eat them alone like western dishes, say a meatloaf or a roast turkey.
You have to mix the halo-halo.
Great video as the others,
I always thought the Philippines was going to be cheaper than Taiwan...
More videos please, You got to go to El Nido
Cheers
Welcome to the Philippines! I hope you swing by Metro Manila!
Pork Sinigang is a tamarind base soup. Welcome to our friendly country guys.
Most Laing(lah-ing) looks more like creamed spinach. For the halo halo eat the ice cream and leche flan first and then it makes it easier to mix. Eating the ice cream first is like having two desserts in one. 😊
If you’re in Cebu you need to go to House of Lechon for real lechon. lechon kawali is not the same.
Good to see you there and my home Country Chad and Claire hope you enjoy your stay there.. I miss all the food and all the food that you ate is my favorites 😊
We’ve been wanting to visit your home country for the LONGEST time, and we’re so glad to have finally visited! 😁🇵🇭 What a joy it must’ve been for you to grow up eating these food- they were all delicious! 😋💖
❤
❤❤❤❤ im new here
As a Filipino, it pained me to see you eat all that good food without rice 😭 kidding aside, good to see you guys enjoy your time. Hope to see more videos!
My favorite restaurant, Gerry’s Grill , I’m jealous hahah. FYI, Filipino food should be eaten with rice. Rice is life in the Philippines. I hope you guys enjoy your stay. Godbless 😘
Hahaha yes!!! Gerry’s Grill was wonderful! They offered SO many traditional Filipino dishes- we only wish we dined with more people so we could try even MORE dishes! 😁😁😁
the thing is filipino food is very different in every regions/cities all across the country every household or restos has their own ways of cooking just one specific dish using different ingredients and process of cooking a dish so expect different variations in terms of taste and process of preparing filipino dishes if your traveling different places of thw country. the lechon that you ate is not the original lechon dish that's just the typical fried version. Filipino Lechon is a whole slow roasted pork on a pit fire. and if your looking for a vegan restos and snack shops or if you're craving for authentic foods from other countries most likely you can only find a lot of options in the country's capital region Metro Manila areas.
Omg! ❤
Kumusta ❤
Oh my, Red Horse? You guys are brave. That beer gives me the runs the next day. I'll stick with San Mig Light or Pilsen. Thanks for visiting my country of birth.
Oh my!!! We were not aware that that Red Horse gives people the ~runs~ 😩😮💨. Thankfully, we did NOT have the ~runs~, but we did share it. So maybe the smaller portion saved us from the tragic after effect hahaha 😂😂
@@ChadandClaireThat's very good to hear. Enjoy your stay in the Philippines.
If it has soy sauce, it’s definitely Chinese influence. Try the real lechon, lechon kawali is ‘cooked in the fryer’ version.
For Filipinos in general especially in Luzon, there is a debate on Adobo vs Sinigang. Adobo is easier to like but Sinigang is harder to forget. 😂
Please try a proper Adobo and Sisig... the ones you had definitely weren't giving!
The chicken adobo you ate isnt the traditional style. It should have looked more like the humba. Filipino food is a mix of different asian and Spanish dishes. The humba could be a derivative of a Taiwanese dish. Also the sourness of the sinigang I tell people its close to thai tom yum soup but with a different souring agent. Also most dishes are supposed to be paired with rice. Especially to mellow out the saltiness of the food.
You suppose to mix the halo-halo.
It's not a banana lol, it's Jackfruit in the halo halo! Lol
You're supposed to mix that halohalo.
🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
😁🥰💖
Philippine as a nation is around 90% catholic. But. I'm very curious why the sign of the cross is unfamiliar to you guys? I'm in the US as well, and I'm sure you've seen Catholic church where you live.
Ah, it was remarkable for us to visit a country in Asia that had such a large Catholic population! After visiting other Asian countries, like Thailand, Taiwan, or Japan, seeing crosses at every street corner was fascinating! In the States, crosses are everywhere hahaha, so it’s not much of a surprise. But in Asia, it’s definitely a bit more rare (at least in our travels so far.) 😁😁😁
You should eat it with rice ..
See Philippine is not only about food whot u still doing I live in Cebu for long time tourist like not only food also beach to go there need to go outside cebu also need improvement compared to Vietnam technical improvements and also the people need not to profit to the foreigner asking extra money special taxi driver
I live there for 25 years and is not only diamond whot u see anyway u hawe done good video
How to eat halo2x, you have to mix Halo2x before you eat. Just eat a little ice cream and then mix it.
The price are so yummy😅 too expensive
Im sorry to tell you this but I think going to Gerrys grill in cebu city is a really bad idea. I mean i don't think gerry's grill is an authentic south island specialty. Anyhow, apar from the price and not really authentic cebuano dish, filipinos wont recommend that resto. I mean any one heard of kinilaw? Puso? Etc?
Uh-Oh you massively ignored the garlic rice (aka sinangag NOT sinigang --- the latter is a sour soup with either fish or pork) --- rice is an Asian staple and Filipinos always eat rice with their food --- please don't ignore rice and set it aside as you discover Philippine culinary delights.
The wrong way eating Halo-halo 😌 anyway enjoy your trip.
You guys are not eating the food coorectly! Each bite must be paired with rice! Thats how we filipinos eat!
Now, that is an insider tip we wish we had before filming this food tour hahahah. 😂😂 It makes complete sense, because all the dishes were so flavorful! Thank you for sharing- we shall always order rice on the side from now on 😁🍚🍚🍚
The adobo why it look so dry😅
We were wondering if it should’ve been juicier, too! Hahaha we’ve never tried it, so we thought that’s just how adobo should be 😂😂😂
Pair those food with rice 😅
puro squatter yung drone
🤗✌️🫰🫶👏👏👏🧑⚖️🧑🎤🤳
I’m sure you meant no harm, but I think describing the lingering influence of colonialism as “cool” is pretty insensitive
We absolutely did not mean any harm, and we truly apologize for describing it as “cool.” Thank you for pointing that out to us.
kare-kare will always burn my taste buds, i hate the nutsz and the mellow shitty taste.... afful dish if you dont´t like nutts....
Yeah, it is a VERY nutty dish hahaha. I can see how it might not be appealing if you’re not a fan of nuts 😂
I just got back from the Philippines. There is so much pollution, noise, and poverty. Dogs everywhere. I wasn't crazy about their food. Deep fried pork and chicken. It was hard to get grilled food. Sorry, the Philippines is not for me.
should have went to Manila instead
As a Spanish Filipino 🇵🇭 🇪🇸 I advice visit Vigan City it will bring you to the European side of The Philippines
Nooooooo really Gerry's???
