Vinegar is a big thing in Filipino culture. We dipped everything in vinegar with varieties ingredients with it like chilli, onions, garlics and lime, or kalamansi.
True, and it is no difference from the pig intestines that are eaten here in America called chitterlings. It’s actually tasty when cleaned and cooked correctly.
Also, it won’t be that popular to people if it is unsafe to eat and the business would be closed. That’s why there are always a long line of people and customers because it safe and delicious food. But it really depends on a person’s food preference.

Just a heads up, I know some of Filipinos might get offended by your reactions to some of our food. I know you don’t mean any disrespect, just don’t do all those “gagging sounds” and saying the food is disgusting. Just keep it to yourself to avoid people going after you because it will come out as disrespectful to us filipinos and we have different cultures and you guys are not used to it so you don’t understand. We don’t force you to eat or like our food, just don’t make any inappropriate comments about it. Filipinos are sensitive when they feel their food/culture are being disrespected by foreign people. If you are aware of how tons of filipinos all over the world defended Jollibee, bash and leave hate comments on Benny Blanco’s tiktok and ig accounts because of the way he disrespected Jollibee. You will know how much filipinos value our food/cultures and won’t hesitate to go after anyone who disrespects it as a one nation. I know you guys are good people, so I’m just letting you know so that you can avoid getting hate from some Filipinos. I don’t want you guys to get cancelled. Just like what Jessica’s friend said “Don’t yuck my Yum” 😊
@@folksdtv5938 me too, as a Filipino I still can’t eat some of exotic filipino food. But I enjoy seeing other people eat it. that’s why I said “some filipinos” might. Not all people are open minded.

Don’t worry about the intestines it is clean inside as well as the feet when in they remove the nails. Balut is not a chicken egg it is duck egg an aphrodisiac.

I gope you get to try the mango when it's in season. You can smell the fragrance through the smooth yellow skin. If it's out of season it might have been forced to ripen and it's just not the same. Also whwn it's a darker yellow and starting to get spots that's the sweetest. Guimaras mamgoes are the best.
They actually taste good.. they are well-prepared and cooked.. Filipinos are very creative, they make every part of an animal edible and delicious.. if you will live in the Philippines and will stay longer, im sure you'll get to try it - maybe out of curiositt.😊😅
Filipinos got used to utilizing every part of the animal out of necessity. During Spanish colonial times, the Spanish masters ate the choice parts of the livestock being served. The Filipino servants were left with the unwanted parts of the animal - offal, legs, feet, face, anything that the masters didn't or refused to eat. That's how Filipinos started eating intestines, blood, chicken feet, and the other leftover parts.
@@TripTipsPodcastI take it you wouldn’t eat Haggis? Also, we love eating fish eyes. We don’t remove the fish head. Balut is not fermented. You might be thinking of Century Egg which is Chinese.
The Mango season is May. In the island of Guimaras there is a festival called the Mango festival where they sell mango products and an eat-all-you-can mango for 30 minutes!
A lot of people in the Philippines they ate (chicken) organs, head and feet (pork) organs It's a way of survival. But also when you encounter indigenous tribe that hunts wild chicken or boar they won't throw away those parts it's giving appreciation to the life of the wild chicken or boar that you hunt. Nothing go to waste and those parts are the food of the hunters they even cook blood know as dinuguan. And the meat is for the there families in there tribe. Well it's a dying culture since it's rare that a clan elder make a hunting party to hunt on the wild but now those foods have been adapted on the foods you can buy on the streets.
Those are some popular street foods but even to a lot of Filipinos they are kind of out there. Not all Filipinos eat chicken feet, chicken or pig intestines, gizzards, and other innards. Not all Filipinos eat balut (fertilized duck egg). It really depends on the person. I personally dont eat those, I go for milder options like kwek-kwek (quail egg in orange batter [colored from anato powder] and deep fried, siomai, banana que among others.
D&J, it’s okay not to eat what you don’t like. I’m Filipino, I eat balut but not the embryo. I also don’t eat the head and the feet, but I tasted the intestines a couple of times. The intestines were cleaned inside and out with water and vinegar and boiled before grilling.
Hahaha...when I was in college I can only eat balut in the night time because it's dark. It's very good with green mangoes with alamang (fermented baby shrimps.) Taste very good ! Welcome to the Philippines....mabuhay !

All parts of chicken including the blood is yummy in whatever way is cooked as a dish especially the native chicken. Hahaha looking forward to your vlog challenging yourselves to eat balut and isaw (say EESAHW) paired with our majestic water plus karaoke. The bago-ong in Northern Luzon is fermented fish but the one in the video (with mango), we call it aramang (alamang in Tagalog) is shrimp paste. This RV made me salivate. I miss street food PH. 😋🤤
The balut is not fermented. It's just cooked and eaten with salt and, if you like, vinegar. You can try the balut soup and the yolk part and not try the duck embryo.
Guimaras is the capital producer of mango for import and export and theres a lot of beaches also so must visit there, coz its eat all u can for free in guimaras in mango farm😊
Im Filipino but i never tried chicken head before but i eat intestines though its so good and also Balut may fav..chicken feet ohh the collagen thou thats why i love it..good
I already tasted those chicken head,chicken intestine and chicken feet with some siomai and chili sauce whenever me,my siblings and my cousins got together its our fave snack when we watch movies in the afternoon😋☺️🥰
lol I found the reaction to the exotic chicken parts hilarious. i totally get why you would freak out having two foreign brothers in law who are equally very vocal. dont worry you can have the regular pork skewers or grilled fish whatnot. bagoong from that region is mainly made of fermented krill and its a hit or miss for me as sometimes it could be too salty or pungent for my taste so i just take them green mangoes home to pair with my favorite bagoong which i sometimes make myself. you'd be surprised to see mangoes and bananas here, we have them in various shapes and sizes, color and textures. i find the smaller the banana the sweeter it is. Philippine Carabao mangoes among the sweetest in the world can only be fully enjoyed here because its very hard to export. the thin skin and flesh can get bruised easily. we only export it dried or pureed. im not a fan of balut either but i am of kwek-kwek which I think youve seen in other videos...too bad Jessica didnt feature it on this video of hers. well thats it from me. have a good one!
Bro, even the great hunters(tigers, lion, etc) goes for the innards .. We as humans, we just to have "clean it up quickly " to make sure its consumable....., When you slice the guts up, make sure you have a running or boiling waters prepared.
Warning: Green mango is sour. It's a Filipino favorite. In my province (where Jessica grew up), we eat green mango with vinegar, soy sauce, salt and optional red chili. The rest of the country eat green mango with bagoong (salty shrimp paste) and now in my province, we eat green mango both ways, with our traditional vinegar sauce or with bagoong. Btw, guys. Gigi is coming to Vegas on April 27 for concert at Sam's hotel casino. Just in case you're interested.
@@TripTipsPodcast That's great. Hope you'd get the chance to meet Gigi and the band. If you try to contact them in advance and tell them you're reactors from Vegas, you may get a chance to meet them backstahge.
Not all Filipinos eat “balut” and I am one of those. But I gave it a try twice but it’s just not my go to street-food. So no worries even Filipino like me can’t handle some of our own exotic food but still proud of it and I enjoy watching tourist try to eat balut.
eating those chicken parts is like giving importance the life of the animal, for us to have something to eat, most part must not be wasted, maybe only the feathers will be thrown away.

I don't know which Mango is the best: 1. Guimaras mangoes 2. Zambales mangoes 3. Samal Island mangoes I have only tried Samal and Guimaras and they tasted the same for me.
WOW, when chicken intestine appears. I like the way how you reacts on it but we swear Filipino's chicken intestine is delisyoso HAHAHA. you just need to dip it in the vinegar or sauce of it. Goodluck and be safe on your journey here!
I love chicken feet cooked in vinegar and soy sauce like an Adobo. or you can cook macaroni soup and replace the chicken meat with chicken feet. it's sooooo delicious.
Dude, it is not just all about the exotic street food. As a Filipino who eats some of the food in this video, all I can say to you guys is don't judge the food by its cover because, although some of these foods are not appealing to your eyes, they actually taste good, especially the intestine one. Just a quick tip for y'all guys: if you review or taste test these kinds of food in the Philippines, don't ever puke it in front of your camera because this food is like a culture for us. Filipinos are sensitive when it comes to food because it is our way of surviving hunger. When it comes to affordable meals on our plate, just be respectful and skip to another food. As she said, "Don't yuck my Yum".
chicken feet is rich in collagen☺ most of our food has an acquired taste thats why most foreigners are offered the "foreign friendly" filipino foods ie.adobo, pancit, lechon etc, we eat most of the parts that are edible coz we dont want to waste food
its a must try, i'm pilipino but i don't eat balut😅 i tried once though and the only thing i like about it is the soup, my fave is when my papa makes dinuguan(pork blood stew) with pork liver and intestine
Jessica is part of the Filipino Korean population of the Philippines, (80,000 people according to the Philippine Statistics office but at least half a million Korean visitors a year.) Guys, look, that is why they are Exotic foods. The Adidas or chicken feet, are great for Arthritis(Google it if you doubt). Your not liking Chicken intestines is understandable coz I did get to study Biology. Fish balls, Squid balls and I don’t think they showed Quail egg, which is delicious. Well, the bananas are also sweet and nice. The exotic food that a lot of Filipinos and (many foreigners nowadays have discovered), eat during their honeymoon, is Balut.
I love Doobydoobop is so good. She's funny and witty and she knows her stuff. She had a restaurant in Korea with her bf but sadly, they had to close it down. But she's so funny. Now, the thing with balut, specifically, it's one of those foods where the the look to taste ratio is waaaay off the scales. Honestly, it does taste good. It's just the mental challenge of the look. You'd be surprised that you may just like it if you try it. The green mangoes they ate is unripened , so it's more crunchy, more on the sour side with a hint of sweetness. Yes, we do have THE BEST mangoes in the world. Especially in Guimaras (ghee-mah-rahs) has the best mango in the Philippines and in the world. They dont allow mangoes to be brought into the island. Honestly, the innards, they're really not that bad. Of course it has to be cleaned properly but the bbq that they ate isn't bad at all. I know people have their limits but again, you just might be surprised because your experience will be so different in the Philippines. Also, we call it Adidas because the chicken feet resembles the three stripes. Anyhow, just saying, give it a chance. Youll be surprised. "Don't yuck my yum" lol😅
Welcome to the Filipino cuisines. We Filipinos don’t waste anything. That is why we eat every part of the animal. From head to feet, inside out. Oh and the intestines are washed and cleaned thoroughly of poop even the inside part. The gooey creamy texture they tasted is probably the melted fat inside the intestines.
The intestines and all others are well cleaned and boiled before marination and grilling...adidas is really the best for me and then intestines.. the last time I had balut was too much...
Since you like mango, you need to go to Guimaras Island where they prohibit bringing mango or its seed to the island to preserve the quality of their mangoes. “In Guimaras, tourists and locals aren't allowed to import any mangoes or mango products from any place. In other words, foreign mangoes (those that aren't from Guimaras) aren't welcome!”
Hehehe! It's fun to see your reaction to Jessica Lee's video. There are certain foods here that I don't eat as well. Hahaha! I haven't tried chicken head (and not going to...EVER!) I don't like eating the "baby duck" in the balut either. I just drink the soup and eat the yolk part and that's it. 😉 Not fond of bagoong because I am allergic to it. If you guys have allergies, just be aware and always ask the ingredients that were put in the food first. Oh, some people have sensitive stomachs too. To be on the safe side, drink mineral water. Always bring your own water. I hope you guys will have a Filipino friend here who will show you around Philippines, so you'll know where to go, where to eat, when is the best time to go to certain places, and you will not be fooled by some greedy people who will overprice transpo costs.
D&J..Chicken intestines are cleaned very well with vinegar inside and out and they don't sell it just like that. They have to wash it many times. including the chicken feet. I hope you'll try it when you come to the Philippines.
@@TripTipsPodcastphilippine mango maybe the best mango in the world but there are other fruits there that competes mango. Atis and star apple also competes the taste of mango..theres also rambutan and lanzones. Welcome to fruit paradise when you get there. I don't eat much fruit in usa its bland to me except for watermelon and melon
Actually if you are going to try these street foods just don’t mix it with soda, milk or coke just drink plain water to rinse down your palate and avoid stomach ache, or better have it with beer cause most of the street foods they eat are what we called “pulutan” or a finger foods for beer. But if you are a high blood pressure don’t eat balut with beer cause it is high in cholesterol.
I think if you see the process of that exotic barbacue . You realize there reaction was right .. even if the food is exotic Filipino is very clean with there food.. you will understand it if you will see the process of that food...
Up until now I still can’t eat a whole balut I only want the soup and the yolk because they really taste good. Isaw and chicken feet are one of my favorites too. They are delicious as long as they are well prepared and cleaned you’ll like it. I have not eaten a chicken head before because there’s nothing much to eat from it and it is hard to eat because it has a lot of little bones. Philippines has the sweetest mangoes in the world (yellow mangoes) you should visit Guimaras. But there are a lot of different kinds of mangoes in the PH like, green mangoes, indian mangoes etc. which goes really well if you eat it with bagoong (shrimp paste)
@@TripTipsPodcast I’ve seen a lot of Americans who were disgusted with some of filipino exotic foods like Isaw and Balut. I don’t blame them because the appearance of these food doesn’t look appetizing at all. But once they tried it, they liked it and even became their favorite too. I would suggest you eat these exotic food in a restaurant first so you are sure they are well prepared and cleaned properly since it would be your first time trying it. If you don’t like it, it’s ok at least you tried. There’s no harm in trying. At least you experienced it. Just explore the different food and cultures of the PH and you’ll be surprised one day, you are living like a true Filipino already just like Kulas! 😄
Remember...'dont yuck my yum'! Also, you speak of sustainability...most animal parts are eaten so it's not wasted. Fruits will always taste better when it's in season.
I really like your both reactions on our exotic food but, actually that’s tastier than the meat most specially how they cook it and don’t worry about what you ever thinking like on intestines coz, we clean it well by pulling inside out and cleaning by salt and vinegar then wash and boiled before you cook again, then in chicken feet there have first skin layer that we remove and cleaned also well and remove or cut the nail part 😅 unlike the other country like Thai or Korea that they leave the nails on it.. 😂😂😂 hope you guys try also.. ❤😂 honestly, we are not angry if you don’t like it but, hope you try even one bite.. 😂😅😂❤ enjoy!!! ❤❤ good bless you.. ohhh, also the bagoong is a shrimp paste the smell is not nice but the taste is really great!!! 😅😅😂😂
If got here bro,and encountee balut try ask the vendor if there 16 days old egg balut,the embryo is small,18 days old balut was a already a chick inside😊
Hi D&J! I appreciate this so much! Dont worry. Majority of us are sensitive but there are also some of us who doesnt eat Filipino street foods as well. Like me, I prefer my street foods to be on restaurants or home made (me/my husband made). Same reason as yours, we dont want to get food poisoned or get hepatitis or stomach flu either. Sooooo people might comment here saying that Im not a true filipino but it is what it is. Haha😂
This is true. My pathologists dad kept educating us when we are still young til recently after he passed, bout this matter, and other related issues that might contribute dangers to our health. You can get cholera and dysentery (amoebiasis and other parasites) if u dunno how they prepare the exotic street foods. Be extra careful.
Chicken head? Nope! Chicken intestines? Nope! Remember, I live here (Philippines), but I still have "mostly" an American palate! Bagoong? Nope! But before all the Filipino's watching get upset with me, I've lived here for 15 years! Keep in mind that I did not say "Yuck", or "Gag". My wife LOVES all this! It's all personal taste and opinion. The gizzard is good! Chicken feet? Nope! (One of my wife's favorite). Balut? Not a chance! (balut is usually NOT chicken, it's baby duck). No one will force you to try anything, but many will expect you to try. If you don't want to, don't! She showcased a LOT of the more "weird" (to us), exotic type stuff. And yes, they are common all over! But, to be fair, there is a TON of Filipino food I will go out of my way to get! Really good stuff! Trust your own judgement!
Can't wait for you to try our mangoes. That's also my fave fruit. I just hope you will try it when it's in season so it's sweeter. Sometimes if you have mangoes out of season it's not the same taste. Anyway still. MANGOES!!! 🥰
Vinegar is a big thing in Filipino culture. We dipped everything in vinegar with varieties ingredients with it like chilli, onions, garlics and lime, or kalamansi.
Chicken intestine dude is really really good you must try it. It was cleaned inside and out, it was cooked(boiled) before it was grilled.
Exactly. They can eat with assurance, knowing it won't cause stomach issues.
😊👍😊👍

The Mango season is May. In the island of Guimaras there is a festival called the Mango festival where they sell
mango products and an eat-all-you-can mango for 30 minutes!
@@eaglet294 it’s Manggahan Festival. U should try the mango pizza too
You need to try them. It's good.
you try is so delecious❤
Balut is Fertilized, not fermented
I feel hungry watching this😅 those are my favorite🥰
A lot of people in the Philippines they ate (chicken) organs, head and feet (pork) organs
It's a way of survival. But also when you
encounter indigenous tribe that hunts wild chicken or boar they won't throw away those parts it's giving appreciation to the life of the wild chicken or boar that you hunt. Nothing go to waste and those parts are the food of the hunters they even cook blood know as dinuguan. And the meat is for the there families in there tribe. Well it's a dying culture since it's rare that a clan elder make a hunting party to hunt on the wild but now those foods have been adapted on the foods you can buy on the streets.
👍👍
Maybe I'm the only Filipino here doesn't eat balut😂😂😂but my husband and my daughter have always competition on who's eating more than each other😂😂😂
Balut soup is the best 🙂
once you smell the BBQ and Balut, you'll realize they are actually appetizing.
This video makes me hungry, I'm amazed at Tina it's easy for here to eat those kinds of foods😊
Those are some popular street foods but even to a lot of Filipinos they are kind of out there. Not all Filipinos eat chicken feet, chicken or pig intestines, gizzards, and other innards. Not all Filipinos eat balut (fertilized duck egg). It really depends on the person. I personally dont eat those, I go for milder options like kwek-kwek (quail egg in orange batter [colored from anato powder] and deep fried, siomai, banana que among others.
Sounds good 👍
D&J, it’s okay not to eat what you don’t like. I’m Filipino, I eat balut but not the embryo. I also don’t eat the head and the feet, but I tasted the intestines a couple of times. The intestines were cleaned inside and out with water and vinegar and boiled before grilling.
Nice 👍
Hahaha...when I was in college I can only eat balut in the night time because it's dark. It's very good with green mangoes with alamang (fermented baby shrimps.) Taste very good ! Welcome to the Philippines....mabuhay !
Thanks for sharing

All parts of chicken including the blood is yummy in whatever way is cooked as a dish especially the native chicken. Hahaha looking forward to your vlog challenging yourselves to eat balut and isaw (say EESAHW) paired with our majestic water plus karaoke. The bago-ong in Northern Luzon is fermented fish but the one in the video (with mango), we call it aramang (alamang in Tagalog) is shrimp paste. This RV made me salivate. I miss street food PH. 😋🤤
😊👍😊👍
There's day old chick also (not included in the video) which I think you are able to eat than balut. peace
@@galbatongamadeus6071 ok 👍
One of the exotic foods you should try is lengua estofado or stewed cow's tongue.
Sounds yummy 😋
The balut is not fermented. It's just cooked and eaten with salt and, if you like, vinegar. You can try the balut soup and the yolk part and not try the duck embryo.
Ok thanks 😊
Guimaras is the capital producer of mango for import and export and theres a lot of beaches also so must visit there, coz its eat all u can for free in guimaras in mango farm😊
It's not for free. You have to pay an entrance fee to get into the farms.
Im Filipino but i never tried chicken head before but i eat intestines though its so good and also Balut may fav..chicken feet ohh the collagen thou thats why i love it..good
👍👍👍
😂the brain in chicken head is kinda liquid you sip it taste like soup. Its boney though still taste like bbq.
Just try it!
grilled chicken intestines is phenomenal... it is soooo good!! youve gotta try that too when u visit the Philippines. its best with beer or Rum...
I already tasted those chicken head,chicken intestine and chicken feet with some siomai and chili sauce whenever me,my siblings and my cousins got together its our fave snack when we watch movies in the afternoon😋☺️🥰
lol I found the reaction to the exotic chicken parts hilarious. i totally get why you would freak out having two foreign brothers in law who are equally very vocal. dont worry you can have the regular pork skewers or grilled fish whatnot. bagoong from that region is mainly made of fermented krill and its a hit or miss for me as sometimes it could be too salty or pungent for my taste so i just take them green mangoes home to pair with my favorite bagoong which i sometimes make myself. you'd be surprised to see mangoes and bananas here, we have them in various shapes and sizes, color and textures. i find the smaller the banana the sweeter it is. Philippine Carabao mangoes among the sweetest in the world can only be fully enjoyed here because its very hard to export. the thin skin and flesh can get bruised easily. we only export it dried or pureed. im not a fan of balut either but i am of kwek-kwek which I think youve seen in other videos...too bad Jessica didnt feature it on this video of hers. well thats it from me. have a good one!
Thanks for the great info 👍
I’ve tried eating them all except the helmet “chicken head” and the balut hahahaha
Bro, even the great hunters(tigers, lion, etc) goes for the innards .. We as humans, we just to have "clean it up quickly " to make sure its consumable....., When you slice the guts up, make sure you have a running or boiling waters prepared.
Warning: Green mango is sour. It's a Filipino favorite. In my province (where Jessica grew up), we eat green mango with vinegar, soy sauce, salt and optional red chili. The rest of the country eat green mango with bagoong (salty shrimp paste) and now in my province, we eat green mango both ways, with our traditional vinegar sauce or with bagoong.
Btw, guys. Gigi is coming to Vegas on April 27 for concert at Sam's hotel casino. Just in case you're interested.
I know we’re going to try and get tickets
@@TripTipsPodcast That's great. Hope you'd get the chance to meet Gigi and the band. If you try to contact them in advance and tell them you're reactors from Vegas, you may get a chance to meet them backstahge.
@@maretcaplan6462 wow that would be so cool. 🙏🤩
@@TripTipsPodcast but don't propose yet! ✌️🤣
@@mc_galactic07 😂😂
Not all Filipinos eat “balut” and I am one of those. But I gave it a try twice but it’s just not my go to street-food. So no worries even Filipino like me can’t handle some of our own exotic food but still proud of it and I enjoy watching tourist try to eat balut.
Thanks 😊
Those featured food actually taste so good hahahhaa It takes a bit of getting used to but they're really good.
👍👍
In The Philippines, no part of the Chicken is wasted. Maybe except the wattles.
Dooby is the most epic... ✌️✌️✌️
eating those chicken parts is like giving importance the life of the animal, for us to have something to eat, most part must not be wasted, maybe only the feathers will be thrown away.
Bananacue and turon is delicious, you should try both ripe mango and green mango 😊
👍👍
The eyeball and the brain of chicken is taste alike with fish 🤣 creamy and yummy 😋🤣🤣
😋
Lol this girl can really survive in the Philippines.
👍👍
Don’t say no. Try it before you say no. You will be shocked with the taste. It taste so good.
👍👍
Philippine mango has fragrant and sweet if you get the right one, I tried Thai mango also sweet but not fragrance. April May and June in season.
👍👍

Oh...i miss all of it..the chiken head omg the brain superb🫰intestine 🤤🤤eventhough im just watching but i can taste it😂😂😂
👍👍
I'm amazed in Doobydobap because she ate everything honestly I don't eat helmet but her she so cool she eat it 🤗
She’s really cool
I don't know which Mango is the best:
1. Guimaras mangoes
2. Zambales mangoes
3. Samal Island mangoes
I have only tried Samal and Guimaras and they tasted the same for me.
Watching here from Philippines ❤❤ yeah I love street food ever that's one of my favorite ..❤❤
What’s your favorite street food?❤️❤️❤️
WOW, when chicken intestine appears. I like the way how you reacts on it but we swear Filipino's chicken intestine is delisyoso HAHAHA. you just need to dip it in the vinegar or sauce of it. Goodluck and be safe on your journey here!
Thanks 😊
I love chicken feet cooked in vinegar and soy sauce like an Adobo. or you can cook macaroni soup and replace the chicken meat with chicken feet. it's sooooo delicious.
Sounds great!👍
Dude, it is not just all about the exotic street food. As a Filipino who eats some of the food in this video, all I can say to you guys is don't judge the food by its cover because, although some of these foods are not appealing to your eyes, they actually taste good, especially the intestine one. Just a quick tip for y'all guys: if you review or taste test these kinds of food in the Philippines, don't ever puke it in front of your camera because this food is like a culture for us. Filipinos are sensitive when it comes to food because it is our way of surviving hunger. When it comes to affordable meals on our plate, just be respectful and skip to another food. As she said, "Don't yuck my Yum".
Thanks for the info
i only eat the yellow part in balut, and the soup. both good.
chicken feet is rich in collagen☺
most of our food has an acquired taste thats why most foreigners are offered the "foreign friendly" filipino foods ie.adobo, pancit, lechon etc, we eat most of the parts that are edible coz we dont want to waste food
I’ll try
its a must try, i'm pilipino but i don't eat balut😅 i tried once though and the only thing i like about it is the soup, my fave is when my papa makes dinuguan(pork blood stew) with pork liver and intestine
Jessica is part of the Filipino Korean population of the Philippines, (80,000 people according to the Philippine Statistics office but at least half a million Korean visitors a year.) Guys, look, that is why they are Exotic foods. The Adidas or chicken feet, are great for Arthritis(Google it if you doubt). Your not liking Chicken intestines is understandable coz I did get to study Biology. Fish balls, Squid balls and I don’t think they showed Quail egg, which is delicious. Well, the bananas are also sweet and nice. The exotic food that a lot of Filipinos and (many foreigners nowadays have discovered), eat during their honeymoon, is Balut.
Thanks for sharing this with us
I love Doobydoobop is so good. She's funny and witty and she knows her stuff. She had a restaurant in Korea with her bf but sadly, they had to close it down. But she's so funny.
Now, the thing with balut, specifically, it's one of those foods where the the look to taste ratio is waaaay off the scales. Honestly, it does taste good. It's just the mental challenge of the look. You'd be surprised that you may just like it if you try it.
The green mangoes they ate is unripened , so it's more crunchy, more on the sour side with a hint of sweetness. Yes, we do have THE BEST mangoes in the world. Especially in Guimaras (ghee-mah-rahs) has the best mango in the Philippines and in the world. They dont allow mangoes to be brought into the island.
Honestly, the innards, they're really not that bad. Of course it has to be cleaned properly but the bbq that they ate isn't bad at all. I know people have their limits but again, you just might be surprised because your experience will be so different in the Philippines. Also, we call it Adidas because the chicken feet resembles the three stripes.
Anyhow, just saying, give it a chance. Youll be surprised. "Don't yuck my yum" lol😅
👍👍
If you come in the Philippines without even trying the Balut, its not a full experience. It's Definitely a must!!!
👍👍
Welcome to the Filipino cuisines. We Filipinos don’t waste anything. That is why we eat every part of the animal. From head to feet, inside out. Oh and the intestines are washed and cleaned thoroughly of poop even the inside part. The gooey creamy texture they tasted is probably the melted fat inside the intestines.
Good to know 👍👍
"matamis" means sweet.."bagoong" means sremp paste..try to eat "betamax" means pig blood
Sounds sooooo yummy 😋
Can't wait to see ur vids once u get to the Philippines
Same here. We’re so excited 🤩
16:04 Cow and Pig brain is good too, I remember my late father, because he cooked Pig or Cows brain very good.
👍😋👍😋
i cant wait for u guys to come back on this video and do side by side challenge hahahaha
Lmao 🤣 that would actually be some grade A content
The intestines and all others are well cleaned and boiled before marination and grilling...adidas is really the best for me and then intestines.. the last time I had balut was too much...
Thanks for sharing
Since you like mango, you need to go to Guimaras Island where they prohibit bringing mango or its seed to the island to preserve the quality of their mangoes.
“In Guimaras, tourists and locals aren't allowed to import any mangoes or mango products from any place. In other words, foreign mangoes (those that aren't from Guimaras) aren't welcome!”
Interesting 🤔
not all mangoes here are sweet. but i like what we call here as "indian mango"
Thanks 😊
Balut is also one of my favorites. I can eat up to 4 pcs 😂
i can smell the balot stench from here.😂😂😂 when they eat balot i just walk away unnoticeably and im a filipino.😂
Ok at least I’m not the only one.
Hehehe! It's fun to see your reaction to Jessica Lee's video. There are certain foods here that I don't eat as well. Hahaha! I haven't tried chicken head (and not going to...EVER!) I don't like eating the "baby duck" in the balut either. I just drink the soup and eat the yolk part and that's it. 😉 Not fond of bagoong because I am allergic to it.
If you guys have allergies, just be aware and always ask the ingredients that were put in the food first.
Oh, some people have sensitive stomachs too. To be on the safe side, drink mineral water. Always bring your own water.
I hope you guys will have a Filipino friend here who will show you around Philippines, so you'll know where to go, where to eat, when is the best time to go to certain places, and you will not be fooled by some greedy people who will overprice transpo costs.
We’ll be meeting up with some people there
Balut is fertilized duck egg not fermented😊 penoy is boiled duck egg😊
D&J..Chicken intestines are cleaned very well with vinegar inside and out and they don't sell it just like that. They have to wash it many times. including the chicken feet. I hope you'll try it when you come to the Philippines.
Still going to try it. First time hearing about eating that so I was shocked. I know how they handle chickens in the USA and it’s really gross.
That's why exotic hahaha.
Guimaras Mangoes is the pride of Philippine Mangoes.
Balut is aged duck egg usually 16-18days old then boiled..
Oh there's 1 more sweet mango... It's the Leon Mango in Leon, Iloilo City, Philippines
Jessica Lee is one of the popular Korean content creator in PH🇵🇭
I cannot too hahaha
Fruits is the best here especially mango, pineapple, and bananas I guarantee
I can’t wait to try them
@@TripTipsPodcastphilippine mango maybe the best mango in the world but there are other fruits there that competes mango. Atis and star apple also competes the taste of mango..theres also rambutan and lanzones. Welcome to fruit paradise when you get there. I don't eat much fruit in usa its bland to me except for watermelon and melon
@@exalkalibor924 thanks for the info
Actually if you are going to try these street foods just don’t mix it with soda, milk or coke just drink plain water to rinse down your palate and avoid stomach ache, or better have it with beer cause most of the street foods they eat are what we called “pulutan” or a finger foods for beer. But if you are a high blood pressure don’t eat balut with beer cause it is high in cholesterol.
Got it thanks 😊
thats why we dont waste anything in the Philippines because its part of our culture.
Balut is embyo of a duck, not chicken….so delicious especially the yolk
I think if you see the process of that exotic barbacue . You realize there reaction was right .. even if the food is exotic Filipino is very clean with there food.. you will understand it if you will see the process of that food...
Awesome ok 👍
Sirs still watching your post from utube yet i subscribed too
Thanks for subscribing and for your support 👍👍
Amen
It's okay if foreigners never like our street food. They're not used to it guys come on be considerate ❤
Thanks 😊
Up until now I still can’t eat a whole balut I only want the soup and the yolk because they really taste good. Isaw and chicken feet are one of my favorites too. They are delicious as long as they are well prepared and cleaned you’ll like it. I have not eaten a chicken head before because there’s nothing much to eat from it and it is hard to eat because it has a lot of little bones. Philippines has the sweetest mangoes in the world (yellow mangoes) you should visit Guimaras. But there are a lot of different kinds of mangoes in the PH like, green mangoes, indian mangoes etc. which goes really well if you eat it with bagoong (shrimp paste)
Thanks for the info
@@TripTipsPodcast I’ve seen a lot of Americans who were disgusted with some of filipino exotic foods like Isaw and Balut. I don’t blame them because the appearance of these food doesn’t look appetizing at all. But once they tried it, they liked it and even became their favorite too. I would suggest you eat these exotic food in a restaurant first so you are sure they are well prepared and cleaned properly since it would be your first time trying it. If you don’t like it, it’s ok at least you tried. There’s no harm in trying. At least you experienced it. Just explore the different food and cultures of the PH and you’ll be surprised one day, you are living like a true Filipino already just like Kulas! 😄
@@aljohn07 sounds good 👍
You're mentioning the Guimaras mango. That's the best mango of the Philippines.
Remember...'dont yuck my yum'! Also, you speak of sustainability...most animal parts are eaten so it's not wasted. Fruits will always taste better when it's in season.
👍👍
I really like your both reactions on our exotic food but, actually that’s tastier than the meat most specially how they cook it and don’t worry about what you ever thinking like on intestines coz, we clean it well by pulling inside out and cleaning by salt and vinegar then wash and boiled before you cook again, then in chicken feet there have first skin layer that we remove and cleaned also well and remove or cut the nail part 😅 unlike the other country like Thai or Korea that they leave the nails on it.. 😂😂😂 hope you guys try also.. ❤😂 honestly, we are not angry if you don’t like it but, hope you try even one bite.. 😂😅😂❤ enjoy!!! ❤❤ good bless you.. ohhh, also the bagoong is a shrimp paste the smell is not nice but the taste is really great!!! 😅😅😂😂
I personally don’t eat seafood or pork. Just my personal preference. But I do each chicken, goat, beef and eggs for protein.
Balut is a fertilized duck egg. Not a fermented chicken egg. 😂
the intestine is the best filipino street food. u gotta try that
If got here bro,and encountee balut try ask the vendor if there 16 days old egg balut,the embryo is small,18 days old balut was a already a chick inside😊
Hi D&J! I appreciate this so much! Dont worry. Majority of us are sensitive but there are also some of us who doesnt eat Filipino street foods as well. Like me, I prefer my street foods to be on restaurants or home made (me/my husband made). Same reason as yours, we dont want to get food poisoned or get hepatitis or stomach flu either. Sooooo people might comment here saying that Im not a true filipino but it is what it is. Haha😂
lol thanks for being cool about our reactions
This is true. My pathologists dad kept educating us when we are still young til recently after he passed, bout this matter, and other related issues that might contribute dangers to our health. You can get cholera and dysentery (amoebiasis and other parasites) if u dunno how they prepare the exotic street foods. Be extra careful.
Chicken head? Nope! Chicken intestines? Nope! Remember, I live here (Philippines), but I still have "mostly" an American palate! Bagoong? Nope! But before all the Filipino's watching get upset with me, I've lived here for 15 years! Keep in mind that I did not say "Yuck", or "Gag". My wife LOVES all this! It's all personal taste and opinion. The gizzard is good! Chicken feet? Nope! (One of my wife's favorite). Balut? Not a chance! (balut is usually NOT chicken, it's baby duck). No one will force you to try anything, but many will expect you to try. If you don't want to, don't! She showcased a LOT of the more "weird" (to us), exotic type stuff. And yes, they are common all over! But, to be fair, there is a TON of Filipino food I will go out of my way to get! Really good stuff! Trust your own judgement!
Thank you 😊
Can't wait for you to try our mangoes. That's also my fave fruit. I just hope you will try it when it's in season so it's sweeter. Sometimes if you have mangoes out of season it's not the same taste. Anyway still. MANGOES!!! 🥰
Can't wait!
