As travellers they seem clueless and every video they admit that. Do some research. Like every other travel vlogs etc. I tried to like this channel but it’s not my thing. Too many “we don’t know” or “who knows”. Try Google.
@@japnuts they are first world adults.. with first world problems.. of course, they always think like, it should be us who ought to be adjusting. ;) and besides, many of our kababayan thinks its cute for foreigners to be a little clueless like that.. lol. But yeah... SADLY.
Really really interesting to hear how your traveling "show" evolved. I love travel deeply but couldn't do it all the time. Need time between trips. Reliving trips and dreaming the next trip is half the joy. You guys are natural travelers and it's great fun going with you.
If you don't have a spoon or a stick for stirring the coffee, rinse the outside of the sachet container and fold it lengthwise to make it handle like a small stick.
My sister from Australia sent a lot of small sachets of Coffee in different brands. I love the Nescafe special edition which is just right to my taste. The Nescafe we have here in the Philippines is also good. These days especially when you are in Metro Manila, it's easy to check out some coffee shops. Most of them are globalized Cafes. .like Starbucks and others.. but in other islands like where you are... The chances are only few. It would be very easy to find if you keep asking the locals and others who have been there. I am sure there are coffee shops although these days on lockdown. It may be difficult. 😞
*The brown meat is called longganisa (LONG-gah-nee-sah), the garlic rice is sinangag (SEE-nah-ngag), the egg is itlog (it-LOHG).* *Combine first syllable of each, you get LONGSILOG (LONG-see-lohg).* *Don't worry if you can't pronounce sinangag, everybody knows what you mean if you say 'garlic rice'* 😊😊

Hello there, your viewer from Las Vegas, NV watching you guys from my big screen TV. Tocilog and longsilog are one of the favorite Filipino breakfast. FYI, Filipinos will watch you whatever vlog you’re doing especially when we find the vloggers have pleasant personality. Enjoy your quarantine guys!
Delightful Travellers Yes there are a lot of Filipino resto here but so scared to go out right now due to covid. Currently Vegas is lockdown that even the Las Vegas strip is looking like a ghost town at the moment.
yeah we have it in Canada too. It's just everywhere here and seems to be the main coffee. That's not the case in the US or Canada. Thanks for watching Diana! :) - Anna
Thanks so much for answering my question guys ...Thailand is amazing,you’ll love it 😍 and yes here in Australia we have the best instant coffee in Nescafé 👍
you know, you guys are the epitome of "lemons to lemonade"...thanks for taking a tough time around the world and still providing content that entertains without diminishing the severity of what is happening. Thanks for answering my question; Portugal is lovely; great weather, food and people. I am looking forward to, not surprisingly, retire to Greece in a few years. Kinda like the circle of life; born in Athens, move to the states, retire to Athens..lol! Great job, as always; stay safe!
Hopefully in the next few months but who knows at the moment right? We were supposed to eventually fly back through NYC as well. Would have been fun to hang out again 😕 What a strange time.... I hope you guys are all safe and sound there 😃- Trevor
Thanks for keeping up with the almost daily vlogs! As for the breakfast plates, I typically dip any proteins in the vinegar to wash off or lessen the oil on top of adding a bit of acidity flavor before mixing it with rice.

To-si-log (Tocino, sinangag, Longanisa)(Sweet pork, fried rice and sausage) The vinegar goes with the sausage. The egg is usually mixed in with the rice, though it can be eaten separately.
You can toss the slice of meat in vinegar and put it back to the garlic rice. Put a slice of egg on top of the meat.. so it's like rice at the bottom, meat at middle and egg on top. Best to eat it using a spoon so rice won't fall off. ❤️ Keep safe and enjoy your stay in El Nido. 🇵🇭
@@DelightfulTravellers yes, everyone has their unique way of eating Si-Log menu here in 🇵🇭 . ToSiLog means Tocino(sweet cured pork meat)+Sinangag (garlic rice)+ Itlog (egg). While LongSiLog means Longganisa(Phil style Sausage)+Sinangag (garlic rice) + Itlog (egg). There are many varieties of Si-Log menu you can try.. usually Americans choose Spam-Si-Log where you can have Spam on your dish. Take your time to try those foodies.

Hello you Two, i subscribed this morning after i found you on you tube! I enjoy your positiv Energie very much! It is always interesting to see how people are doing during this time. I like to see how you are staying positiv. I am sending you love from Hamburg Germany
It is easier to use spoon and fork when eating rice plus pork or chicken and veggies and eggs. The sausage or longganisa can be dipped in vinegar if you like..
Well first off you guys create the most amazing descriptive food vlogs! Nescafé a must when traveling, we had many packages! And thank you for shouting us out! Not to worry we will have those craft beer toast and enjoy delicious cuisine soon!! Stay safe and we are thinking of you! Anna, blue is beautiful on you! ❤️
We keep those Nescafe with us too for emergencies. But they are everywhere here haha. Oh craft beer how we miss it haha. 🤗Hope everything is great there for you both - Trevor
Delightful Travellers yes’s must for “just in case” ha! Hope you guys will be home soon! It’s beautiful there, but I’m sure you guys want to get back as soon as you can! Remember this too shall pass! Thinking of you guys! ❤️
New subscriber here from D.C., love your videos- clear & fun to watch. Adorable couple. Glad seeing you Safe & healthy in my Homeland. Wish you more & more subscribers. God Bless.
You guys got Longsilog (Longanisa/Filipino sausage, sinangag/garlic rice, itlog/egg) and Tocilog (Tocino/candied pork etc.) Tapsilog is with tapa, our version of moist beef jerky.
Sachet coffee has become a routine for us because it's handy and you can take them everywhere especially for working people who rush early for work :-) Happy Easter‼️
Coffee used to be huge in the Philippines until pests destroyed the coffee trees. BUT it's making a comeback and coffeeshops in the bigger Phil. cities have them, part of the efforts to revive the coffee industry in the country. Try the Batangas brewed barako coffee..and there are other coffee beans for brewing like those from Cavite, Baguio, Kalinga, Sagada, Guimaras, Bukidnon...those 3-in-1 coffee sachets are just there for convenience. My food chemist friend says its mostly just flavoring. For breakfast..my fave is garlic longganisa (made in Imus, Csvite or Vigan)!
Nova Scotia, been to, beautiful, want to revisit someday. And I love the place you're at now, looks beautiful, relaxing, breezy, clean salty air, was supposed to be there the last week of March but this pandemic happened. keep traveling and documenting 👌🏼
Its easy use spoon. Try the tapsilog. It's tapa which is beef with the same garluc rice and egg. Tapsilog is TAPa which is the beef, SInangag which is the fried rice and egg which is itLOG.
Delighted to see you try morning filipino breakfast. Next time you can ask the server if you can customise it to be more of veggies cucumber or more of either pork or chicken fish . According to your preference.
You can dip your longaniza (sausage) or tocino (sweet pork) in the vinegar to balance out the sweetness. Using a spoon, scoop some rice and meat in one bite. Filipinos love sweet food in general- even our spaghetti (Jollibee) is sweet. I hope you guys enjoy your stay there. Stay healthy and safe. Sending you both positivity and good vibes from TO 🇨🇦🇵🇭
Filipinos go for instant coffee because it’s a no-fuss coffee. Very easy to prepare. Not a lot of Filipino households have coffee makers that’s why brewed coffee is not common. You can usually get it in hotels, restaurants and coffee shops. There’s a region here that drink “kapeng barako”. It’s prepared by boiling local ground coffee in water.
The second is tosilog, it's tocino (Sweet pork). TO (Tosino) SI (Sinangag which means fried rice). LOG (Itlog which means egg) Bewed coffee is a thing in provinces. It's pretty cheap and normal here in our province.
Filipino food is a delicate balance among sweetness, saltiness and sourness. The cured meats, Tapa, Longanisa and Tosino, are already sweet and salty; hence, the need to dip them to the vinegar sauce, hopefully from coconut water. Enjoy playing in your mouth before finally swallowing them...
You are in a beautiful place to survive the lockdown. In Canada we are in lockdown at least until the middle of May. My guess is end of May. Great to see your videos. Many thanks for posting in such a stressful time. I look forward to your next video. I just joined Instagram so excited to see your posts there. Hugs from Canada.
Hi guys. Filipinos use both spoon and fork in eating rice meals. Spoon is usually used to scoop (sometimes the edge is used as a knife) the rice while the fork is to stick the meat. Longsilog is a combination of the words Longganiza and Itlog (egg) to describe the rice meal. While Tocilog is that combination of Tocino (sweet meat) and itlog (egg).
Life becomes so much easier when you use the spoon instead of the fork - at least for us Asians. Just throw everything on the spoon - rice, meat, and egg. The fork is to help gather/scoop up the food onto the spoon. The side vinegar is to be added for additional taste. The instant coffee is used usually when it's a set meal. Brewed coffee is just a bit more expensive since just a little bit more labor is put into it, so it's not included. Maybe that resort has brewed coffee? Nothing beats a cup of freshly brewed coffee. ..... Thailand? It's a very nice place. I've lived there for seven straight years before. The culture is very Asian: temples, elephants, culture & dance, and the ever - famous Thai food.
Hi, I am from Mississauga, Ontario .... I left Philippines 1987 never been to any beaches in the Philippines. You are lucky, wish I can go back in the Philippines. I was born in Masbate,Philippines. I love your video.
That sweet pork combo is called TOCILOG , TOSILOG 😊 TOCINO ( sweet pork) + Sinangag (fried rice ) ITLOG ( egg ).. that’s one of the famous but we have a lot more.. you can use spoon and fork to enjoy the rice with the egg and the pork.. BREWED coffee is expensive for most typical filipino that’s why instant coffee is famous there hehe..
Breakfast looked great. My spouses step mom is Filipino and I swear everything she cooks is just amazing ! Hope your making out okay. I think the situation around the world is really having an affect on everyone’s soul right now. I’m off work and as nice as a time as it is to not have to work everyday, my body just isn’t resting as it should. It’s hard. So I understand when you say it’s not just a vacation for you guys right now. By the time you ready this it’ll be morning I’m sure so enjoy the rest of your day, enjoy a smoothie by the pool and try as best to relax !
Where's the dipping sauce? It usually complements most Filipino dishes. For the vinegar you got, flavored vinegar goes well with it. You could ask the hotel for sauce that goes with it or always tell your server you are not familiar with dishes and if he can give suggestions or ask for their bestsellers and how to eat it. They will always be happy to help.
My Thai wife loves rice soup and she will put anything in it. Egg, pork, shrimp and etc.... Turned out I really like it now and it didn't take very long at all. I would have mixed it all up and cut the meat into small pieces.
Brewed coffee for the ordinary Filipino is too expensive. Brewed coffee at its cheapest is priced at P60 per cup. While most instant coffee sticks are only priced at P5 per stick.
Besides that, its also easier to boil a cup of water for 1 person, coffee machines are expensive and considered luxuries. Coffee snobs would cringe but in coffee growing provinces here, we would just brew a pot of coffe and put them in a thermos bottle for later. That's how I know that my family of five drinks at least 6li of coffe in a day because we fill up our 3li thermos twice a day.
@@angelogumnad8206 Hehehehe..whatever satisfies us..we used to do that as well during "harder" times..there was even a time when my parents "burnt" rice grains, pound them and brewed it as "coffee"!!
Whaaat...this is the best lockdown i have ever seen 😁 btw we enjoy watching your el nido vlog series missed my hometown 🇵🇭 stay safe guys 🙏♥️ fr.Doha,Qatar 🇶🇦
Brewed coffee is at the coffee shop like starbucks, Tim Hortons, the coffeebean and tea leaf, gloria jeans, Seattle's best and the like. But for provinces and local restaurants, instant coffee is very popular. There are huge selections of 3 in 1 coffee if you will visit grocery stores.😊
Filipinos eat rice not just for breakfast, but also for lunch and dinner. The best analogy to explain the purpose of rice is a hamburger... the bun is the rice. What goes inside the bun, are the type of meat patties, in your case you both had eggs and some type of meat. Anything can go with the rice, it can be any Filipino dish. Noodles type dishes, you don’t need rice, although sometimes we do just out of habit 😂. We eat with a spoon and fork. We use the spoon to scoop, and also as a knife. We use the fork to poke/pierce. We use an actual knife if needed. We also eat with just our bare hands, that’s the traditional way.
Hi Trevor and Anna, just to tell you that what you had was not tapsilog but it was "tocilog", tocino is the sweet pork, "tasilog" is for "tapa" which is beef.... just my two cents Nevertheless, love your vlogs.... cheers.
well the Filipino way is using the spoon as it is much easier to hold the rice, the meat and egg together. The instant coffee is for convenience and savings on price.
Hi, from Toronto!!👋👋 . Glad you are trying the Filipino Breakfast! It’s some what a heavy breakfast but satisfying and comforting specially with Dark Roast Tims!👍 When eating Filipino Food , you put a little bit of everything in the spoon. A bit of rice. A bit of egg. A bit of meat. The dipping sauce you get like either vinegar or Soy Sauce with Calamansi and Chili, is for the fried/ grilled meat. You dip the fried or grilled meat into the sauce and add it into your spoon with the garlic fried rice and egg, then eat it. Filipino Food is about explosion of contrasting flavours in your mouth. Sweet, salty, sour, etc.. Cheers and Enjoy!😉
im watching on my computer, but I always thing of TH-cam content as a show, and ur a channel I have added to my "package" lol. Fun for Louis and Ben brown were my fav back in the day as well, actually it was Ben who inspired me to travel because i have agoraphobia..I also got to see his friend Jeremy loops when they came to Montreal!..I love these kinds of channels but ive been struggling to find one that was like back in the day and so im so glad I found u guys! and also happy to know ur fellow canadians! .also what a pretty dress, blue is ur color! your gorgeous! luv from Montreal.. ps. as an immunocompromised person i wish i was on an island with no cases right now.. soak it in guys and enjoy! xx
Kenzie-Anne Grant I would suggest to watch them from their beginning. They have been to some amazing places, and exposed some of the most delicious cuisine! They will encourage you to adventure! Enjoy!
@@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers thank you, I've actually planned on doing that when I need an escape from the everyday.. It's hard tho because during these times you kind of want an updated version of what's happening around the world. But I'm definitely going to start from the beginning xx
Ah thank you that means so much Kenzie. I'll have to start wearing that dress in more videos... we've literally been in swim wear for weeks now. When this is all over we really want to get back to Montreal - Anna
As a tourist, you are eating it right, but you'll enjoy it more if you used a spoon so you can gather the food easier. Filipinos use a spoon & fork as their utensils, not a knife. The spoon is used to cut food.
Absolutely mouth watering. ;) Yummy. Such classic favorite breakfast selections for everyday Filipinos. The king of the Filipino breakfast is the tapsilog, the meat is tapa, savory flavorful meat i am sure you both will love. There is another Filipino meal you will enjoy if you havent tried it already, it's called the 'pares'. It is something that can be eaten also for lunch or dinner. ;) ;)
Instant coffee is for people who wants coffee the easy / cheapest way to get the caffeine kick. You can buy coffee beans the cheaper way by buying the beans or grounded once without the flashy package ,aka Tim Hortons, all you need is boiled water straight from the pot and French press. Use vinegar on the egg or meat in the plate so you may eat them easier with the fork or spoon mixed with rice.😊😊😊
Dip the pork in the vinegar. The Filipino way of eating re use of utensils is spoon on the right hand and fork on the left hand. This is so because of the rice. Brewed coffee is not affordable for most. There are various 3in1 coffee brands. Nescafe is not necessarily a filipino favorite, just the resort's brand. 😉
It’s ok to used a fork and knife ....whatever you feel comfy! Most of Pinoy using fork and spoon . I remember when I was a waiter in Restaurant in Sydney they asking me where’s my spoon ? When I realised they used all the spoon even for main course instead of steak knife for steak. , so when I served the ice cream dessert....no more spoon in the table .

I like fried fish and tocino with garlic fried rice, typical pinoy breakfast 👍💚❤️🇵🇭
For starters why not use the spoon instead of fork? So when you scoop the food it won't be difficult and not fall on the plate
*The red meat is called tocino (toh-SEE-no), the garlic rice is sinangag (SEE-nah-ngag), the egg is itlog (it-LOHG)..*
*Combine first syllable of each, you get TOSILOG (TOH-see-lohg).*
*Don't worry if you can't pronounce sinangag, everybody knows what you mean if you say 'garlic rice'.* 😊😊
the sausage is LONG- ganiza thus the LONGsilog variation.
Proper way to eat Filipino way is with spoon and fork. Use spoon as your knife.
Eat rice plus viand in one spoonful.
The spoon is used to scoop a combination of rice and viand into your mouth, the fork is use to hold the meat or other slippery foods in place while you cut those with your spoon. It's also used to coral those food and stop them moving while you scoop them with the spoon. :-)
Yes.. but the best way is with hands.. ;)

New subscriber here from D.C., love your videos- clear & fun to watch. Adorable couple. Glad seeing you Safe & healthy in my
Homeland. Wish you more & more subscribers. God Bless.
Welcome to our channel Carmel 😃- Trevor
we do love black nescafe coffee here in the Philippines everyday thank you featuring the Filipino food on your channel.
keep safe and stay at home.
You guys got Longsilog (Longanisa/Filipino sausage, sinangag/garlic rice, itlog/egg) and Tocilog (Tocino/candied pork etc.)
Tapsilog is with tapa, our version of moist beef jerky.
Instant coffee is very common here in the Philippines. There are also lots of brands and flavors to pick from.
Hope you're enjoying your stay!
Sachet coffee has become a routine for us because it's handy and you can take them everywhere especially for working people who rush early for work :-) Happy Easter‼️
I am watching from Vancouver, you have a really good place for a locked down
We really do! Glad you enjoyed the video VM - Anna
You got eat like a king at breakfast and in the Philippines rice for breakfast is a energy booster
It was delicious thank you! - Anna
That red and sweet pork is called Tocino.
Whoops we didn't know that. - Trevor
TOCILOG
Interesting. In Venezuela where I'm from originally we call bacon tocineta. :)
Coffee used to be huge in the Philippines until pests destroyed the coffee trees. BUT it's making a comeback and coffeeshops in the bigger Phil. cities have them, part of the efforts to revive the coffee industry in the country.
Try the Batangas brewed barako coffee..and there are other coffee beans for brewing like those from Cavite, Baguio, Kalinga, Sagada, Guimaras, Bukidnon...those 3-in-1 coffee sachets are just there for convenience. My food chemist friend says its mostly just flavoring. For breakfast..my fave is garlic longganisa (made in Imus, Csvite or Vigan)!
Nova Scotia, been to, beautiful, want to revisit someday. And I love the place you're at now, looks beautiful, relaxing, breezy, clean salty air, was supposed to be there the last week of March but this pandemic happened. keep traveling and documenting 👌🏼
Its easy use spoon. Try the tapsilog. It's tapa which is beef with the same garluc rice and egg. Tapsilog is TAPa which is the beef, SInangag which is the fried rice and egg which is itLOG.
Enjoy your Filipino breakfast guys .Happy Easter and stay safe .Greetings from Zurich, Switzerland ❤️😘
Same to you!
Watching from New Jersey!
Hello NJ! :)
Delighted to see you try morning filipino breakfast. Next time you can ask the server if you can customise it to be more of veggies cucumber or more of either pork or chicken fish . According to your preference.
Thanks for the tips!
Love you guys.. take care and god bless!
🤗
Good morning nice watching you , I hope the quarantine would be over then you could visit other places , you guys tc and happy Easter to you guys 🐣💐🙏
Happy Easter to you as well - Anna
You can dip your longaniza (sausage) or tocino (sweet pork) in the vinegar to balance out the sweetness. Using a spoon, scoop some rice and meat in one bite. Filipinos love sweet food in general- even our spaghetti (Jollibee) is sweet. I hope you guys enjoy your stay there. Stay healthy and safe. Sending you both positivity and good vibes from TO 🇨🇦🇵🇭
Filipinos go for instant coffee because it’s a no-fuss coffee. Very easy to prepare. Not a lot of Filipino households have coffee makers that’s why brewed coffee is not common. You can usually get it in hotels, restaurants and coffee shops. There’s a region here that drink “kapeng barako”. It’s prepared by boiling local ground coffee in water.
Great Video!!!
Good morning guys! Happy Easter!
Same to you! :)
Watching u guys from Toronto.
We so miss TO. Love that city! - Anna
@6:24 perfect beautiful background view.
The second is tosilog, it's tocino (Sweet pork). TO (Tosino) SI (Sinangag which means fried rice). LOG (Itlog which means egg)
Bewed coffee is a thing in provinces. It's pretty cheap and normal here in our province.
Filipino food is a delicate balance among sweetness, saltiness and sourness. The cured meats, Tapa, Longanisa and Tosino, are already sweet and salty; hence, the need to dip them to the vinegar sauce, hopefully from coconut water. Enjoy playing in your mouth before finally swallowing them...
You are in a beautiful place to survive the lockdown. In Canada we are in lockdown at least until the middle of May. My guess is end of May.
Great to see your videos. Many thanks for posting in such a stressful time. I look forward to your next video. I just joined Instagram so excited to see your posts there. Hugs from Canada.
Nice video, and the beach is beautiful.
Brewed coffee only exists in filipino homes moreover in the provinces. We call it Barako
Good to know! Instant coffee isn't quite our thing it seems haha - Anna
Barako is technically a coffee bean variety. You can brew it, or manufacture it into Instant Coffee from Barako beans (not Arabica or Robusta).
@Edward Tabamo yes. That's true. My family buy barako from batangas or laguna mostly & davao too
@YYpang that's new to me. Wow. Might give it a try
Hi guys. Filipinos use both spoon and fork in eating rice meals. Spoon is usually used to scoop (sometimes the edge is used as a knife) the rice while the fork is to stick the meat. Longsilog is a combination of the words Longganiza and Itlog (egg) to describe the rice meal. While Tocilog is that combination of Tocino (sweet meat) and itlog (egg).
Appreciate the tips Robert. Next time we'll try a spoon - Trevor
Life becomes so much easier when you use the spoon instead of the fork - at least for us Asians. Just throw everything on the spoon - rice, meat, and egg. The fork is to help gather/scoop up the food onto the spoon. The side vinegar is to be added for additional taste. The instant coffee is used usually when it's a set meal. Brewed coffee is just a bit more expensive since just a little bit more labor is put into it, so it's not included. Maybe that resort has brewed coffee? Nothing beats a cup of freshly brewed coffee. ..... Thailand? It's a very nice place. I've lived there for seven straight years before. The culture is very Asian: temples, elephants, culture & dance, and the ever - famous Thai food.
Eating with a spoon seems odd to us.... never even crossed our minds. Maybe we'll do that next time! - Trevor
Hi, I am from Mississauga, Ontario .... I left Philippines 1987 never been to any beaches in the Philippines. You are lucky, wish I can go back in the Philippines. I was born in Masbate,Philippines. I love your video.
Thanks for following along. We hope you get to make it back here someday - Trevor
Stay safe!! ❤ from 🇵🇭
That sweet pork combo is called TOCILOG , TOSILOG 😊 TOCINO ( sweet pork) + Sinangag (fried rice ) ITLOG ( egg ).. that’s one of the famous but we have a lot more.. you can use spoon and fork to enjoy the rice with the egg and the pork.. BREWED coffee is expensive for most typical filipino that’s why instant coffee is famous there hehe..
Breakfast looked great. My spouses step mom is Filipino and I swear everything she cooks is just amazing ! Hope your making out okay. I think the situation around the world is really having an affect on everyone’s soul right now. I’m off work and as nice as a time as it is to not have to work everyday, my body just isn’t resting as it should. It’s hard. So I understand when you say it’s not just a vacation for you guys right now. By the time you ready this it’ll be morning I’m sure so enjoy the rest of your day, enjoy a smoothie by the pool and try as best to relax !
Thank you so much Luba! We'll get a smoothie... promise - Anna
If you want good coffee shops during your travel here in the Philippines I suggest you try visiting La Union, it also have a nice beach for surfing
Stay safe! Enjoyed this video!
Thank you! Will do!
The second one is Tocilog, this breakfast dish are so delicious.
Where's the dipping sauce? It usually complements most Filipino dishes. For the vinegar you got, flavored vinegar goes well with it. You could ask the hotel for sauce that goes with it or always tell your server you are not familiar with dishes and if he can give suggestions or ask for their bestsellers and how to eat it. They will always be happy to help.
Longsilog= LONGganisa(Filipino Chorizo or Sausage)+SInangag(garlic rice)+itLOG(egg)
Tapsilog= TAPa+SInangag+itLOG
😳
My Thai wife loves rice soup and she will put anything in it. Egg, pork, shrimp and etc.... Turned out I really like it now and it didn't take very long at all. I would have mixed it all up and cut the meat into small pieces.
We did that with Adobo a few videos ago and everyone said not to do that 🤷🏻♂️- Trevor
Lol, that does not surprise me. Pretty sure that is the way I would eat though. Keep up the good work, really like your videos.
Loving the fun facts Q&A sessions 🙂
Glad you like them Yonella. Hope you're doing well in all of this - Anna
Delightful Travellers 🙂 yes keeping busy with work. I’m grateful to be able to work from home.
Brewed coffee for the ordinary Filipino is too expensive. Brewed coffee at its cheapest is priced at P60 per cup.
While most instant coffee sticks are only priced at P5 per stick.
Besides that, its also easier to boil a cup of water for 1 person, coffee machines are expensive and considered luxuries. Coffee snobs would cringe but in coffee growing provinces here, we would just brew a pot of coffe and put them in a thermos bottle for later. That's how I know that my family of five drinks at least 6li of coffe in a day because we fill up our 3li thermos twice a day.
@@angelogumnad8206 Hehehehe..whatever satisfies us..we used to do that as well during "harder" times..there was even a time when my parents "burnt" rice grains, pound them and brewed it as "coffee"!!
Deo Panganiban ,rice coffee
Here in our province native coffee is only P13 in a cheap coffee shop. ^_^
Whaaat...this is the best lockdown i have ever seen 😁 btw we enjoy watching your el nido vlog series missed my hometown 🇵🇭 stay safe guys 🙏♥️ fr.Doha,Qatar 🇶🇦
Brewed coffee is at the coffee shop like starbucks, Tim Hortons, the coffeebean and tea leaf, gloria jeans, Seattle's best and the like. But for provinces and local restaurants, instant coffee is very popular. There are huge selections of 3 in 1 coffee if you will visit grocery stores.😊
Important info on how it is used to be sweet, the tocino and the longganisa could last a week that was the way we preserve food here in the ph.
Tapa (beef) and rice egg and porridge are also good for Filipino breakfast 😆
By the way, I love your blue dress! ❤️
Thank you 🥰- Anna
do a video showing local flora and fauna (if you can find any, maybe you could get the rooster to do a few tricks)
What's that? - Trevor
Filipinos eat rice not just for breakfast, but also for lunch and dinner. The best analogy to explain the purpose of rice is a hamburger... the bun is the rice. What goes inside the bun, are the type of meat patties, in your case you both had eggs and some type of meat. Anything can go with the rice, it can be any Filipino dish. Noodles type dishes, you don’t need rice, although sometimes we do just out of habit 😂.
We eat with a spoon and fork. We use the spoon to scoop, and also as a knife. We use the fork to poke/pierce. We use an actual knife if needed. We also eat with just our bare hands, that’s the traditional way.
I like to dip my tocino or langonisa sausage in spicy vinegar 😋
Try TAPSILOG. It’s savoury beef with garlic rice and egg.
Hi Trevor and Anna, just to tell you that what you had was not tapsilog but it was "tocilog", tocino is the sweet pork, "tasilog" is for "tapa" which is beef.... just my two cents
Nevertheless, love your vlogs.... cheers.
You dip the longanisa in the vinegar. The Nescafé instant coffee is good!
well the Filipino way is using the spoon as it is much easier to hold the rice, the meat and egg together. The instant coffee is for convenience and savings on price.
Goes well with vinegar and chili nice with hot cup of coffee
You can dip the cucumber to vinegar
Hi, from Toronto!!👋👋 . Glad you are trying the Filipino Breakfast! It’s some what a heavy breakfast but satisfying and comforting specially with Dark Roast Tims!👍 When eating Filipino Food , you put a little bit of everything in the spoon. A bit of rice. A bit of egg. A bit of meat. The dipping sauce you get like either vinegar or Soy Sauce with Calamansi and Chili, is for the fried/ grilled meat. You dip the fried or grilled meat into the sauce and add it into your spoon with the garlic fried rice and egg, then eat it. Filipino Food is about explosion of contrasting flavours in your mouth. Sweet, salty, sour, etc.. Cheers and Enjoy!😉
haha funny enough we saw some Timmies in Manila. We're not big fans though (unlike most Canadians) - Trevor
im watching on my computer, but I always thing of TH-cam content as a show, and ur a channel I have added to my "package" lol. Fun for Louis and Ben brown were my fav back in the day as well, actually it was Ben who inspired me to travel because i have agoraphobia..I also got to see his friend Jeremy loops when they came to Montreal!..I love these kinds of channels but ive been struggling to find one that was like back in the day and so im so glad I found u guys! and also happy to know ur fellow canadians! .also what a pretty dress, blue is ur color! your gorgeous! luv from Montreal.. ps. as an immunocompromised person i wish i was on an island with no cases right now.. soak it in guys and enjoy! xx
Kenzie-Anne Grant I would suggest to watch them from their beginning. They have been to some amazing places, and exposed some of the most delicious cuisine! They will encourage you to adventure! Enjoy!
@@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers thank you, I've actually planned on doing that when I need an escape from the everyday.. It's hard tho because during these times you kind of want an updated version of what's happening around the world. But I'm definitely going to start from the beginning xx
Ah thank you that means so much Kenzie. I'll have to start wearing that dress in more videos... we've literally been in swim wear for weeks now. When this is all over we really want to get back to Montreal - Anna
@@DelightfulTravellers that would be amazing, maybe do a meet up, I'd love to meet you guys!
either you dip the longanisa on or sprinkle it with vinegar
Filipinos use the “spoon” when we eating rice. My brother used to work in Halifax, Nova Scotia but now he is back in the Philippines
As a tourist, you are eating it right, but you'll enjoy it more if you used a spoon so you can gather the food easier. Filipinos use a spoon & fork as their utensils, not a knife. The spoon is used to cut food.
Absolutely mouth watering. ;) Yummy. Such classic favorite breakfast selections for everyday Filipinos. The king of the Filipino breakfast is the tapsilog, the meat is tapa, savory flavorful meat i am sure you both will love. There is another Filipino meal you will enjoy if you havent tried it already, it's called the 'pares'. It is something that can be eaten also for lunch or dinner. ;) ;)
I always usually watch TH-cam on the big TV, I then have to bring it up on the iPad to write comments. :)
Right you can't comment in the TV interface can you? Can you even see the comments? curious now haha - Trevor
Delightful Travellers no, no comments. You can subscribe and like but it’s all a bit fiddly so easier to pick up the iPad.
Instant coffee is for people who wants coffee the easy / cheapest way to get the caffeine kick. You can buy coffee beans the cheaper way by buying the beans or grounded once without the flashy package ,aka Tim Hortons, all you need is boiled water straight from the pot and French press. Use vinegar on the egg or meat in the plate so you may eat them easier with the fork or spoon mixed with rice.😊😊😊
Dip the pork in the vinegar. The Filipino way of eating re use of utensils is spoon on the right hand and fork on the left hand. This is so because of the rice. Brewed coffee is not affordable for most. There are various 3in1 coffee brands. Nescafe is not necessarily a filipino favorite, just the resort's brand. 😉
enjoy watching your video while staying at home.
I'm craving for that food missing it.
We appreciate you following along Marlon - Anna
thank you for the mentioned Anna
yes, you're doing it right guys, a little bit of everything plus the vinegar and you're good to go.
Woohoo good to know 😃- Trevor
It’s ok to used a fork and knife ....whatever you feel comfy! Most of Pinoy using fork and spoon . I remember when I was a waiter in Restaurant in Sydney they asking me where’s my spoon ? When I realised they used all the spoon even for main course instead of steak knife for steak. , so when I served the ice cream dessert....no more spoon in the table .
