To all those whom said that it's too expensive unlike Phil price. It's showing how ignorant you guys are. Why expect it to be sold in the same price as in the Philippines? The ingredients and all possible expenses are based on the cost of living there. It's in NY of all states. Study economics!!
FYI, most Filipino entreés are meant to be eaten with rice. So if something is a little too salty, pair it with rice. And THE quintessential dipping sauce is vinegar + soy sauce. So if anything is too greasy, yoy MUST have it with something acidic. We have lots of vinegar options. That sisig is a little too chunky. Normally, it would be chopped up a little finer than small cubes. Just like with any food, it really depends where you get it. Also, we have TONS of regional dishes too. I mean, 7,641 islands....yeah, lots of different variations. Glad you had fun. Now you must check out Little Manila and try the restuarants there. Cheers
Yeah, and what's surprising is there are even people here who still try to argue that they're still expensive even by NYC standards. Have you guys tried imported goods or eaten imported dishes in your own country? Say you're here in Philippines and you're eating AUTHENTIC Japanese/Thai/Mexican food or whatever. Of course they're gonna be more expensive, some of the ingredients used can't be bought locally. Also, it's a fair, prices at those places/events really go up way more. When you compare, you should factor out lots of things.
@@gilmari1521 well maybe because it is, I mean, 2pence a piece that could work here in the Philippines - Dollar Denomination converted, I think, Filipino Businesses there tends to import, rather than trying to support local Farmers in the US by visiting or communicating directly to the farmers, a challenge , I get something, I'll invite you to my place and cook for you, and have you eat several of them for free, you don't need to pay just your presence and friendship will do. hopefully in the future and if you can come to the Philippines.
First off, YOUR VIDEO QUALITY... GOODNESS! IT IS PERFECT. Crisp, bright, clear... your grading choices are spot on. (chef's kiss!) Also the quietness of the way you guys present is refreshing. Not the O.A. (in Filipino we say O.A. which means Over Acting), not chaotic, not loud, just right. ♥ p.s.- - - the SISIG looked so sad! LOL! Please visit F.O.B in Brooklyn so you can at least experience the real taste of SISIG! Please!!!
Thanks so much! Haha yeah we don't have the typical TH-camr personality which maybe makes our content a little less exciting but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah we will definitely need to try Sisig again. It sounds like it would be amazing so its a shame this one was a let down!
Love F.O.B! Especially the Pork BBQ skewers (which I am glad you all tried off the list - it is a classic favorite). If you want to try it though, do it soon because I just saw they’ll be closing down at the end of the month! 😢
so glad you're now showing us some asian adventures (been meaning to ask in a comment as to if or when you were planning to do so), and being Filipino, I'm stoked you jumped right in! Your list of things to eat was pretty spot on and a great place to start...like many cuisines, there are so many variations of each dish, I would recommend doing it again (on or off camera) and getting the same things from different vendors...the one you missed here that was sold out (but it was on your list) was pancit...there are sooo many varieties of this starting from what meat someone uses, which noodle (flour, rice, bean, etc.) and on and on...but of the pancit options, I would recommend my personal favorite style called "Palabok" or "Lug lug"...it's super different and has alot going on, and IMO the best version (there's even a region in the Philippines that specializes in this variant)...halo halo is also classic and sorry you missed it...super refreshing and very unique with all the different mixins and toppings, etc (which usually has ube ice cream)...thanks so much for exploring the Filipino food culture...I think you guys would really enjoy a trip there, based on how friendly and inexpensive it is to explore...and you definitely can find street food there for like $1-$2 which will be as good as what you had in NYC...look forward to more asian adventures! cheers
We love Asian food so the fact we hadn't tried Filipino food was outrageous. But unfortunately we couldn't find most of the things on our list! We've been trying to find some more casual Filipino spots so we can try more things while we're not filming. The food at the festival was great but I'm sure the street food there will be incredible! If you have any recommendations for places or things we should try definitely let us know!
@@travelfuller yeah bummer some things sold out! so I take it you guys haven't tried Jollibee yet? That is like the McDs (more like KFC) of the Philippines! You gotta try their fried chicken (reg and spicy) and def dip it in the gravy!!! Also, if you want a totally different spaghetti experience, I recommend their "jolly spaghetti"...but be sure to erase everything you know about spaghetti, cuz the Filipino take on it is waaayyy different (like it has chunks of hot dog, a sweeter tomato sauce, etc...), curious on your opinion on it! Also they should have the Palabok I referred to on my original comment (but it's a basic but very tasty version of the authentic kind...definitely curious on what you guys think)...also def get a peach and/or mango pie...think of a McDs type of apple pie dessert, but waaayy better...ok I'll stop now cuz I'm getting hungry lol...honestly, I'm Filipino-American (born in US), and also live in TX lol...but I'm sure you're a few clicks down the YT or Google rabbit hole to find out good Filipino eats in NYC... Salamat!
Funny enough, we shot a video way back in April trying everything on the menu at Jollibee! It didn't come out the best so we've been putting off editing it. I'm pretty sure we liked just about everything but I'll have to start on that one soon!
Love that your channel is expanding to other cuisines and other food destinations besides just the steakhouses and restaurants with impossible reservation/wait lists.
This is such a good review specially for your first introduction to the culture. Thank you for showcasing our food and I hope both of you get to visit the Philippines! You'll be welcomed with smiles and warm hearts. Good luck wiht your channel!
Ohhh, the store didn't mix the sisig beforehand! It's basically a pork salad, you mix it with the onions and chili in that small container then finish it with the lime juice (sisig means to season the food with something sour) That's where the flavors were supposed to come from. ❤ Glad you enjoyed the other items. Haha
from the word Sisigan, or to make sour, to my surprise, they didn't taste the pigs ears I'm waiting of that, with Tofu, and liver, and a bit of a butt of pig, seasoned with onions, garlic, red chili, green chili or green pepper, simmered with Vinegar, and some other sources.
But they should have gone to Filipino restaurant if they wants to enjoy Sisig. The Sisig they bought looks sad and doesn't have much texture. They will definitely enjoy especially with beer.
NYC sidewalks are so dirty. They don't clean it with water. NYC is rich financially but their surroundings looks like a 3rd world country. Cleanliness is not in NYC. Compare to Tokyo and Seoul. They got along money but don't wanna spend on cleanliness and better, modern infrastructure. Infrastructure is the foundation of the economy too without it your economy will stagnates or fall
the meat dishes (lechon and sisig) are usually eaten as lunch/dinner, not considered streetfoods. Also, the fishballs/pork barbecue were meant to be eaten as afternoon snacks and with dipping sauces (suppose they forgot to give you some)
chopped roast pork or chopped fried pork, 2 tbsp. calamansi juice, minced onion, chopped/minced chili🌶️, peanuts and chocnut then mixed it well.. its called Kilawin..
Thank you for stopping by at Pinoy Food Fest there! 🇵🇭😋 much costly than here in our local country 🇵🇭 all of them are cheap here it varies in location like there in NYC, we are grateful to have you there! Mabuhay kayo at maraming salamat! (long live and thank you very much!) The quality of your vlog is so crisp and stunning by the way!
The banana fritters you've mentioned they're called turon. You can eat that on your snacks or an afternoon snacks " meryenda". In the turon you can put ube(purple yam), or bananas with jackfruit, and the cover is the spring roll wrapper. If you go to the Philippines you will gonna eat and enjoy various of foods in different cities and provinces we have. Try the Cebu lechon you can eat the juicy pork and crunchy skin.
Turon is like banana roll glaize with sugar Okoy is basically a fritters made with squash or shrimp Maruya is banana fritters coated with sugar and sometimes other filipinos mix it with casava flour or casava root to make it more intact and not falling apart..
You guys are so brave in trying new things especially Filipino food which you haven’t tried before. I’m glad you liked our dishes! There’s so much more! You will find same name dishes but different taste according from which province it came from. So much to discover! Go to Woodside next to visit some of our restaurants. Try Jollibee too which you can also find in Time Square.
Love the video guys! And for someone who tried Filipino food for the first time, you are pronouncing all the names correctly in Tagalog. Great conteny 😊
@@seabuschan5677 it's US so it is expensive, but yeah, just $1 or 2 you could buy more, i'm more surprised about the banana fritter, just $1 you could buy 10pcs
@@seabuschan5677my cousin and her husband started their tocino and sisig pack business last year in Chicago, she mentioned that prices for the ingredients are already expensive there compared to here in the Philippines so that’s pretty much one of the reasons why prices of Filipino foods in the US are different from ours
For the banana fritter, it's made of banana and jackfruit and we call it Turon. Fishball should be dipped in vinegar or sweet sauce. Lechon and Adobo with rice💯 always!
The banana fritters you've mentioned they're called turon. You can eat that on your snacks or an afternoon snacks " meryenda". In the turon you can put ube(purple yam), or bananas with jackfruit, and the cover is the spring roll wrapper
Not much time today but glad you were game to try so many different things. Lumpia is good l’ve had them before and will use your experiences as a guide. Have a great weekend!
For reference, in the Philippines, the plantain fritters can be bought for less than a dollar on the street. Good sisig is around $3, lechon kawali at $8-10 in most places. the NYC pop-up stalls are adjusted to American prices and probably cause they all look more upscale.
OMGEEE, pinoy street fuds in NUYOK is almost like eating in those turo-turo areas like in Malate, in Avenida Rizal, in Cubao, Quiapo n Angeles City....WOWWW that's a CLASSIC!!!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the quality of the vid! Damn this is such a must to watch all day haha. Def a fan now. Those food are mouthwatering too and as a Filipino, my heart is literally melting just like the ube ice cream haha. More powers to you both✨
Sisig is usually served on a hot cast iron plate served smoking hot drizzled with calamansi (lime like fruit) with mayonaise and cracked fresh egg on top. And fish ball is usually dipped in sauce. Some sells 4 or 3 types of sauces like sweet and sour, spicy and vinegar with soy sauce. 😁
It was amazing! It's tough to describe and compare foods you've never tried before but we really liked it all. We wanted to but we've been out of town a lot lately! Is there one in particular you think we should check out?
@@travelfuller I don't have any specific festivals in mind, but if you haven't been to the Queens Night Market I think that would be fun to see. But it only has a few more weeks until it closes down for winter.
Hi! I love that you got to try Filipino food for the first time here and you or checklist is an awesome intro to the cuisine (and my personal favorites!). Reading a lot of the comments on price - folks need to remember this is a festival with lots of small businesses that are seeking to share authentic meals with a unique flair. They are also “pop-ups” essentially, so prices will be higher! Also of course, welcome to NYC prices 😊 Here are some suggestions for places around the city that will have these items on your list as you try to get through it (because you definitely should!!): -Grill 21 (Gramercy Park): has everything on your list, very homestyle, delicious, and affordable -Tradisyon (Hell’s Kitchen, also has a stall in the Urban Hawker food court): closer to food “with flair” category but their adobo is awesome -Mama Fina’s (East Village): a place dedicated to sisig so you would get much more options. Not all sisig is the same, if you wanted to try it again! It’s not my personal fave dish either though, so I understand Then there’s Little Manila in Queens which is a street full of restaurants similar to Grill 21 and you can really get some affordable places that are homestyle with these classics. Thank you again for sharing your experience with Filipino food! I hope it’s not the end of the adventure 😊
Thanks for watching and commenting! I e actually just tried Mama Finas and should be positing a video on it soon. Filipino food really impressed us so I definitely think we’ll be seeking it out a lot more!
Your list ws definitely ambitious, but I was impressed you put it together. When you go to a festival (especially ones with foodtrucks) the prices will always be a bit high due to overhead costs - merchants also have to pay a vendor fee. However this was a good chance to see and taste a variety. I agree with the below comment that it is a good idea to go to a Filipino restaurant, but the problem is that there might be less variety if it is specialized. There is a large Filipino supermarket chain from the U.S. called "Seafood City". It is a wonderful Asian market. They have a front section with hot Filipino food (a lot of bbq). They also have some ready made options in the back. I think they might have seating now (post Covid). That is another affordable way to try Filipino food.
We actually just filmed a video at a more authentic Filipino restaurant for next week! And just like you said, it was a little cheaper and the food was outstanding!
the fishballs being "kinda fishy" is an accurate description 😅 so it's a must to dunk these things into the prepared sauces as they themselves are worth trying cause recipes vary each time 😊 great video!
@@travelfuller I recommend you try Calamansi juice. Calamansi is a South East Asian fruit that is a less sour cross between a lime and lemon. There is an amazing ice cream shop in TO (Toronto) that makes an ice cream flavour with it. 😋
Fishball without sauce is not good. Forgot to take some f.ball sauce!? Vinegar with shredded onion & black pepper or cornstarch base with sugar, b.pepper, soy sauce, chilli and water (mix).
I’m so excited to watch this video. My partner and I have watched almost all of your videos. Last week she asked if “they ever eat any ethnic cuisines” and I had to tell her “no. That’s their thing. They only eat white people food.” We were both a little bummed when that sank in but hey everyone has their own preferences. So imagine my surprise when this video was posted. Congratulations on venturing out.
Sorry we didn't start doing it sooner! Funny enough, we never go out for burgers or steak when we're not filming videos. Our go to's are definitely Thai and Mexican but we love trying new things. They just never do well on our channel for some reason! But we decided to start making videos about them anyway. Let us know if there are any other things you think we should do!
You should have gotten a dipping sauce for the fish ball and pork skewers to offset the fishyness of the fish ball. Fish ball can be an acquired taste. Pork sisig is not authentic. It should be served in a sizzling plate that is why it’s called sisig which means sizzling.
I'm surprised they didn't give us a sauce but maybe we needed to ask for it! Yeah a lot of people have mentioned the sisig didn't seem authentic. We are definitely going to need to give that one another try!
the prices are insane... 😅 if you go here in philippines you can already order 4-5 dishes for just 20-30$ in a fine restaurant.. :) much more if it is just sold in the streets or what we call karinderia where in you can actually buy around a dollar more or less per dish...😁
Idk who told you that was a banana fritter. It’s “turon”. Think of it as a banana lumpia. And you should definitely try sisig at other places. Ask if it’s served on a sizzling platter with an egg.
Come to the Philippines and eat for a fraction of the prices you guys paid. For example the turon (banana fritter) you guys got for $4 USD is only ₱20 here ($0.36) and it’s double the size too 😅
I also think the sisig had been sitting out, they were trying to keep it warm with a blowtorch. Not the best first impression but we'll give it another shot. And I wonder why they didn't give us any sauce for the fishballs!
The $113 you spent in NYC for Filipino street food will get you eating in a nice sit-down restaurant in the Philippines. You should come and visit! Experience the islands and the friendly people of the Philippines!
Try Filipino food in the Philippines...especially the street food that is prevalent and commonplace in their culture...you will see vendors everywhere in Manila/Metro Manila. It will definitely be a different but more genuine experience than what you are experiencing in America.
The fish ball are eaten with a dipping sauce. That's make a big difference. Otherwise it does not taste much. Most street food in the Philippines are sauce dependent. And it different from one vendor to another.
The banana fritters or as we called it "Turon" is usually a mid-afternoon snack or meryenda. and in Filipino food culture, the white rice is not a separated dish but part of the main dish, so if you take a bite of the adobo it should be eaten together with the rice. Even in the Philippines, lechon is on the expensive side. The fishball should comes with a dip and not eat it as it is.
When you visit Philippines you can buy the turon, which is a banana in a wrapper and lumpia way very cheaper about a half dollar or 2 dollar it depends if it's in the market or in a restaurant

Nah… that street food in NYC is truly Outrageous price. I’m a Filipino from NZ, the weekend street food market here is not darer as NYC

You should go to a Filipino restaurant where you can sit down while you enjoy authentic fairly priced Filipino food. Those prices are insane.
I was thinking the same thing
You can’t try all these items if you do that, with two people. You’d end up paying 3 to 4x the price, plus you’d have tons of leftovers.
But they should have gone to Filipino restaurant if they wants to enjoy Sisig. The Sisig they bought looks sad and doesn't have much texture. They will definitely enjoy especially with beer.
@@game_life_1Sisig is just drinking. No need to pretend it is so popular and common.

@@seabuschan5677my cousin and her husband started their tocino and sisig pack business last year in Chicago, she mentioned that prices for the ingredients are already expensive there compared to here in the Philippines so that’s pretty much one of the reasons why prices of Filipino foods in the US are different from ours
Too expensive in NYC, Filipino street food should not that expensive, in the Philippines less than 1 dollar you can get most of your food you ate
i appreciate your honest reviews!
For the banana fritter, it's made of banana and jackfruit and we call it Turon. Fishball should be dipped in vinegar or sweet sauce. Lechon and Adobo with rice💯 always!
I'm surprised they didn't give us any sauce! We'll have to give it another try. The Turon, Lechon and Adobo were fantastic!
Yes, I was surprised why the fishball had no sauce. That's what gives it the flavor. 😊
The banana fritters you've mentioned they're called turon. You can eat that on your snacks or an afternoon snacks " meryenda". In the turon you can put ube(purple yam), or bananas with jackfruit, and the cover is the spring roll wrapper
Not much time today but glad you were game to try so many different things.
Lumpia is good l’ve had them before and will use your experiences as a guide.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for always watching!
Banana fritter or Turon in Filipino is most commonly eaten as a snack. It is sweet with banana at jackfruit as a filling. Fried and coated with sugar.
Thank you for appreciating our foods...
For reference, in the Philippines, the plantain fritters can be bought for less than a dollar on the street. Good sisig is around $3, lechon kawali at $8-10 in most places. the NYC pop-up stalls are adjusted to American prices and probably cause they all look more upscale.
You guys should take the food show to Southeast Asia. You'll lose your minds there.
That would be amazing! We've got a lot of travel coming up, but we're hoping to plan a Southeast Asia trip for sometime next year
OMGEEE, pinoy street fuds in NUYOK is almost like eating in those turo-turo areas like in Malate, in Avenida Rizal, in Cubao, Quiapo n Angeles City....WOWWW that's a CLASSIC!!!
loved your video!
Thanks so much!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the quality of the vid! Damn this is such a must to watch all day haha. Def a fan now. Those food are mouthwatering too and as a Filipino, my heart is literally melting just like the ube ice cream haha. More powers to you both✨
Thanks so much! Haha you're too nice. So glad you enjoyed the video!
Looks delicious, the ube burger, adobo, the ube ice cream.
9:11 That's the Filipino barbecue. The skewered fish balls should be poured/dipped in gravy sauce (I prefer it spicy).
Damn! Why is NY so expensive! $110 will give you an access to over 40 filipino dishes in a Filipino buffet restaurant here in IL.

Sisig is usually served on a hot cast iron plate served smoking hot drizzled with calamansi (lime like fruit) with mayonaise and cracked fresh egg on top. And fish ball is usually dipped in sauce. Some sells 4 or 3 types of sauces like sweet and sour, spicy and vinegar with soy sauce. 😁
Love seeing you guys try Filipino food since I haven't had it either! Will you be hitting up any more food festivals? Great review as usual! 🥰
It was amazing! It's tough to describe and compare foods you've never tried before but we really liked it all. We wanted to but we've been out of town a lot lately! Is there one in particular you think we should check out?
@@travelfuller I don't have any specific festivals in mind, but if you haven't been to the Queens Night Market I think that would be fun to see. But it only has a few more weeks until it closes down for winter.
the fishballs either go with a mixture vinegar, onion, pepper or a chili sauce for best taste
If you want cheaper Filipino food with more options, go to Woodside Queens or Jersey City in NJ
Thanks we definitely will!
Hi! I love that you got to try Filipino food for the first time here and you or checklist is an awesome intro to the cuisine (and my personal favorites!).
Reading a lot of the comments on price - folks need to remember this is a festival with lots of small businesses that are seeking to share authentic meals with a unique flair. They are also “pop-ups” essentially, so prices will be higher! Also of course, welcome to NYC prices 😊
Here are some suggestions for places around the city that will have these items on your list as you try to get through it (because you definitely should!!):
-Grill 21 (Gramercy Park): has everything on your list, very homestyle, delicious, and affordable
-Tradisyon (Hell’s Kitchen, also has a stall in the Urban Hawker food court): closer to food “with flair” category but their adobo is awesome
-Mama Fina’s (East Village): a place dedicated to sisig so you would get much more options. Not all sisig is the same, if you wanted to try it again! It’s not my personal fave dish either though, so I understand
Then there’s Little Manila in Queens which is a street full of restaurants similar to Grill 21 and you can really get some affordable places that are homestyle with these classics.
Thank you again for sharing your experience with Filipino food! I hope it’s not the end of the adventure 😊
Thanks for watching and commenting! I e actually just tried Mama Finas and should be positing a video on it soon. Filipino food really impressed us so I definitely think we’ll be seeking it out a lot more!
@@travelfuller Very cool!!
I love this channel ❤
Thanks so much!
Your list ws definitely ambitious, but I was impressed you put it together. When you go to a festival (especially ones with foodtrucks) the prices will always be a bit high due to overhead costs - merchants also have to pay a vendor fee. However this was a good chance to see and taste a variety. I agree with the below comment that it is a good idea to go to a Filipino restaurant, but the problem is that there might be less variety if it is specialized. There is a large Filipino supermarket chain from the U.S. called "Seafood City". It is a wonderful Asian market. They have a front section with hot Filipino food (a lot of bbq). They also have some ready made options in the back. I think they might have seating now (post Covid). That is another affordable way to try Filipino food.
We actually just filmed a video at a more authentic Filipino restaurant for next week! And just like you said, it was a little cheaper and the food was outstanding!
@@travelfuller Great - then people can stop saying "you need to dip it with this sauce or eat it this way." 🤣
@@skatingcanuck9837 haha exactly!
You should try the mechado, caldereta, chicken tinola, dinakdakan, chicken inasal, dinuguan

nako, teh. magkaka negative remarks tau pag pinatikim pa natin pati mga yan.
Beautiful! As a Filipina American, I love when people try Filipino food for the first time 💚🇵🇭
Thanks Guys for promoting Filipino food❤.
wow! yummy, thank you for testing Filipino food
Most Filipino dishes are bold or strong in flavors since they are meant to be eaten with rice.. 🇵🇭
Thank you for this video.💗
Great video! Fishballs should be dipped in either vinegar or a sweet savory sauce.
Thank you! I wish they would've given us the sauce. We'll have to try it again!
@@travelfuller yes they should have given you the sauce. There's a lot of condiments in Filipino cuisine.
That ube icecream is one of the key component of the halohalo
the prices are absolutely skyrocketing!
the fishballs being "kinda fishy" is an accurate description 😅 so it's a must to dunk these things into the prepared sauces as they themselves are worth trying cause recipes vary each time 😊 great video!
Congrats on your video going viral. My friend is a youtuber and every time he posts a video on Filipino food he gets tons of views!
Thanks! It's crazy how that works. Guess we'll just have to have Filipino food all the time!
@@travelfuller I recommend you try Calamansi juice. Calamansi is a South East Asian fruit that is a less sour cross between a lime and lemon. There is an amazing ice cream shop in TO (Toronto) that makes an ice cream flavour with it. 😋
Awesome coverage of Filipino food! Just subscribed. For $40 in street food in the Philippines you can get a lot way more than here in the US.
Thank you! Cant wait to visit and try all the amazing food there!
COME HERE TO THE PHILIPPINES AND SAVOR THE ORIGINAL PHILIPPINES!!❤❤❤❤
Yes!! We would love to!
Filipino here in NY watching..👍👍
morning to both of you,am your new subscriber watching from Baguio City,Philippines
Thanks for subscribing!
Greetings from the Philippines!!New subscriber here!!!
You should come visit the Philippines! 🇵🇭
We would love to! It looks beautiful and the food is incredible!
Fish Balls are suppose to be eaten with sauce ..... it comes in 3-4 different flavors!!!
Fishball without sauce is not good. Forgot to take some f.ball sauce!? Vinegar with shredded onion & black pepper or cornstarch base with sugar, b.pepper, soy sauce, chilli and water (mix).
I’m so excited to watch this video. My partner and I have watched almost all of your videos. Last week she asked if “they ever eat any ethnic cuisines” and I had to tell her “no. That’s their thing. They only eat white people food.” We were both a little bummed when that sank in but hey everyone has their own preferences. So imagine my surprise when this video was posted. Congratulations on venturing out.
Sorry we didn't start doing it sooner! Funny enough, we never go out for burgers or steak when we're not filming videos. Our go to's are definitely Thai and Mexican but we love trying new things. They just never do well on our channel for some reason! But we decided to start making videos about them anyway. Let us know if there are any other things you think we should do!
oh yeah, Filipino will give your videos the most views and the food is different level.
Hi, what camera do you use to film this video? I liked it's quality 🙂. Hope to get an answer. Thanks!
Thanks! We use the Sony a7iv. Our camera gear is linked in the description!
You should have gotten a dipping sauce for the fish ball and pork skewers to offset the fishyness of the fish ball. Fish ball can be an acquired taste. Pork sisig is not authentic. It should be served in a sizzling plate that is why it’s called sisig which means sizzling.
I'm surprised they didn't give us a sauce but maybe we needed to ask for it! Yeah a lot of people have mentioned the sisig didn't seem authentic. We are definitely going to need to give that one another try!
the crunchiness of lumpia that you're eating is heaven to my ears😍😍
People tryna comparing the prices here in PH with US prices but they totally forgot about the cost of ingredients and cost of living in general. 🤦♂️
Now you guys know what to get when you visit the Philippines 😊😂❤
Enjoy Filipinos food! Stay safe always ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
First Time Filipino Food yum yum Enjoy New york U.S.A watching from Los Angeles U.S.A
Thanks for watching!
the prices are insane... 😅 if you go here in philippines you can already order 4-5 dishes for just 20-30$ in a fine restaurant.. :) much more if it is just sold in the streets or what we call karinderia where in you can actually buy around a dollar more or less per dish...😁
What camera do you guys use?
Glad you guys liked the Filipino food!!♥😍
Idk who told you that was a banana fritter. It’s “turon”. Think of it as a banana lumpia.
And you should definitely try sisig at other places. Ask if it’s served on a sizzling platter with an egg.
Come to the Philippines and eat for a fraction of the prices you guys paid. For example the turon (banana fritter) you guys got for $4 USD is only ₱20 here ($0.36) and it’s double the size too 😅
2 things:
1. Give sisig another chance! Sisig shouldn't be bland at all!
2. Fishballs always need to be dipped in some sauce.
I also think the sisig had been sitting out, they were trying to keep it warm with a blowtorch. Not the best first impression but we'll give it another shot. And I wonder why they didn't give us any sauce for the fishballs!
Yeah u got bad sisig.. it does not look like sisig at all
It did not look like the sisig you would get in the Philippines. The appearance alone disappointed me.
The $113 you spent in NYC for Filipino street food will get you eating in a nice sit-down restaurant in the Philippines. You should come and visit! Experience the islands and the friendly people of the Philippines!
My “Wow” is for the “Lechón🐖”..
-Lechón🐷= $20.00 dollars.
-See you guys seated at the sidewalk like little kids = Priceless 😍💝
Haha I'm sure that street is very clean!
@@travelfuller agreed 100%👌🏼. We definitely loved that part 😍
Vegetable lumping..dip wit liver sauce..s2eetn sour or vinegar 🫡
Try Filipino food in the Philippines...especially the street food that is prevalent and commonplace in their culture...you will see vendors everywhere in Manila/Metro Manila. It will definitely be a different but more genuine experience than what you are experiencing in America.
We are hoping to plan a trip there soon!
@travelfuller I look forward to seeing that trip...my girlfriend is Filipina living in Batangas province south of Manila 😉
Love this one! That food looked so good but really pricey
Thanks! Yeah we were not expecting to spend nearly as much as we did!
The fish ball are eaten with a dipping sauce. That's make a big difference. Otherwise it does not taste much. Most street food in the Philippines are sauce dependent. And it different from one vendor to another.
this video is sooo good like quality wise
Thanks!
The banana fritters or as we called it "Turon" is usually a mid-afternoon snack or meryenda. and in Filipino food culture, the white rice is not a separated dish but part of the main dish, so if you take a bite of the adobo it should be eaten together with the rice. Even in the Philippines, lechon is on the expensive side. The fishball should comes with a dip and not eat it as it is.
new subs from PH ❤
Thanks so much!
Filipino food because is masarap😊
Yo I appreciate y'all trying our Filipino foods, much love from the Philippines 🇵🇭 ❤
Everything was so good! Thanks so much for watching!
When you visit Philippines you can buy the turon, which is a banana in a wrapper and lumpia way very cheaper about a half dollar or 2 dollar it depends if it's in the market or in a restaurant
