Pochok Bangusan is a local carinderia in Quezon City that serves an amazing version of grilled bangus, which is grilled milkfish, and it happens to be one of my personal favorite things to eat in the Philippines. The local restaurant is family fun, and they have all the typical Filipino food dishes set up and pre-cooked at the front of the restaurant when you arrive. All the dishes you can point to and choose from are delicious, but the real magic of eating at Pochok Bangusan is their grilled milkfish. Milkfish is the national fish of the Philippines, and it’s something that you have to eat when you’re there.
To make their grilled bangus (milkfish), they first flame grilled the fish, and I mean when he stuck it on the grill, it ignited into flames as the oiliness of the fish touched the hot coals. The fire was also fanned to keep it flaming hot throughout the grilled process. After grilling the fish on both sides, he then flipped it over on the skin side down, and topped it with a few heaping spoons of green tomato relish. The fish was creamy and sort of dry like a tuna, and the green tomato topping was sour and oniony. It was a perfect combination of ingredients.
Along with the grilled milkfish, Ying and I also chose a number of other Filipino food dishes that were already prepared including chicken organs adobo (I would highly recommend it if you like organs like we do), menudo which was a little different than any other version of menudo I’ve had, bulalo which is a famous Filipino food of bone marrow soup, and another of the of my favorite Filipino dishes that I tried for the first time, which was a roasted eggplant topped in krill paste / shrimp paste, and topped with a handful of chopped green mango.
The combination of all the foods we ordered, and especially the grilled milkfish, is was really made eating at Pochok Bangusan so memorable. Additionally, the family that runs the carinderia (local Filipino food restaurant / street food restaurant) were very friendly and you could tell that they enjoyed the food they were cooking and their customers.
If you’re looking for wonderful Filipino local food in Manila (it’s actually in Quezon City, but in Metro Manila), Pochok Bangusan is a fantastic place to eat.

I suffer from really bad anxiety and bipolar and I have to say mark watching your videos lifts my spirit up, thank you very much pal. keep it up.
Makz Hussain same goes to me. I’m experiencing it now. But mark’s videos really soothing and his face expressions the one that I really like to see.
Best wishes, Makz.
@@honesty990 these emotions and feelings are always part and it's a phase of our lives. Allah has a purpose why Humans have to go through something like this. It is pleasant reminder that this life is temporary. It is also a big reminder that we should remember Allah at all times. Count the things Allah has been providing us instead of looking for what is missing. Appreciate everything we have. Sometimes we tend to neglect even the simplest things, just like the roof and a home where we live in is neglected. Believe me that it is normal to feel lonely. But the hope that everything will be well should always stay in our hearts. In Shaa Allah. Ameen.
Watching this video should just be the second priority but turning to Allah through Salah and listening to the Quran should be the first.
This message may be too late but in Shaa Allah you are doing well. Ameen
@ Makz Hussain would you like to receive healing?
@@glerizamerilos965 Jzk for the beautiful message.
i like how the locals are nice and generous no matter what their status is, i dealt with Philippinos before and they were so nice helpful and generous it's great to see more of the country through Mark's eyes.
Al a
Because we need money from foreigners that is why.
Those girls i dealt with didn't need my money, they were so generous themselves and tried their best to help me and never asked for anything in return.
Miss Filipinas 2.0 burn!!!!🤣
Miss Filipinas 2.0 Maybe it's just you so please just speak for yourself. Filipinos are kind people
People in the Philippines treat each other like family when they come around. Why do you think when we cook we cook way more than what we can eat. Whenever someone comes to a Filipinos house we ask "Have you eaten yet?" it's almost disrespect when you don't eat. Lol
Mark weins smile while eating the food is AWESOME. he is the type of guy who heals a depression of another living organism
My sister n law is Filipino she’s been my life every since I was 11 years old. I’ve eaten everything she’s ever cooked she the best she’s such a sweetheart, super funny! I love my family!! Thanks for sharing
I'm very proud to be filipino... Good food and good hospitality comes together when dining even in simple carenderias. Tnx mark for visiting us here in the philippines. More power!!!
I luv Filipino food, I cook chicken adobo with liver, or pork belly often.
Nice frend.how did u do that..and you filipino frend that u meet personally?
The best way to make it, imo.
My Mom is Filipino and she does that, too! Yummy!
Thank you maam for liking our adobo
Wow im sure its delicious. Its heart warming to know that though u have lotsa tastier dish in your country you cooked our native adobo.yeah liver taste perfect in adobo.
Every dish just feels so right. I love my Filipino food and I'm so proud of it. I'm glad you love our food.
Nice of you to appreciate Filipino food. I have been watching your vlogs not just because I'm a foodie, but I just love how you appreciate the culture of each countries that you visit and share insights with your viewers. Keep on vlogging! and I hope you'd be able to visit Manila again soon. More power Mark and Ying❤
Filipino are among the nicest people.Much love from an Indian guy.Mark,you unite the world with your videos brother.Keep up the great work!
The way Mark describes every bite . . . just makes everyone's mouth water. He's the BEST at describing every country's cuisine. His plethora of subsribers is enough said
This is the best Philippine food series you’ve made, thank you 😊
Yuum more food - love it. Cant wait to go back to the Philippines.
This guy deserves a tv food show. So honest. Salute! 😊
This is his TV food show.
@@jhchooo Ay bopol. Hehe
Nope. Mainstream Media is evil. Vlog shows are prior.
Thank you for featuring our dish. We really appreciated your effort to come here. Hope you enjoyed and explore more in our country.
From: Philippines ❤🙏🍻
As I watch all of Mark’s videos -Philippines Filipinos in general (I know there are also bad ones) are so nice, kind hearted and respectful! I’m proud to be Filipino.
Micah's little hand and foot!! Sooo cute!!
Ann Bee I
"A creamy liver and a bouncy heart all in one bite." Mark always gives a creative description for every single bite.👌
i love how mark gives so much emphasis and emotions to his reactions...it makes the videos more interesting...
Love you too🧡
I am Filipino Canadian, and seeing this video, makes me feel like coming home right away. I missed those real deal food back home. Thank you for coming to the Philippines and advertise the local food of us. Just always remember to ask for chili as I know you like it very much. All our authentic dishes are good with chili. Even my son born in Canada love our local food with chili. Lastly I would recommend for you to travel the southern Luzon. More spectacular pilipino authentic food there. Try Bicol Express and pinangat, see the most perfect cone volcano in the world. Pinangat or tinoktok. 1 hour from Manila by air.
Filipino people are so generous and friendly. I want to visit Philippines after watching these videos of Mark
If you do, you should not forget to visit Pampanga. It is the culinary capital of the Philippines.
Hello Mark!! :) thank you for visiting Philippines , i hope you enjoy your stay and come back again, still so many delicious food to discover here.
Thank you Nina, I loved it!
Mark Wiens is really a pleasure that you visit our country😁😁😁
Nina Angela Ambrocio they eat even everything....
I guess you're an American. Here's a quote from one of your countrymen; Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Please don't think all us Americans are like that jerk...
Can we have a moment of silence on how amazing and hardworking Mike's wife is.
Yes what a supportive partner. And carrying a baby when she shoots.
@@TR-kk2me yuh
Man I can't sleep now think I should try to cook Filipino food. Hungry for some kind of adobo. With Jasmine rice.
I would be if I were getting paid $2000 a day lol.
if mark tilts his head and closes his eyes, you know for sure the food is insanely good
quazer12 he does that all the time
Hans Solevilla, not really....when he just love the food...
quazer12 don’t forget the “oh yah” with it lol
Yah that's right
Omg that’s sooooooo true hahahah the head tilt with them eye rolls and then the oooohhhhhh yeeeaaaahhhh 😂😂😂😂😂 I defs enjoy watching his reviews 👌🏾
Marks videos are the kind of videos you thumbs up first then watch ☝🏽
this is sooo good! I think this is one of my favourite videos of Mark! that lady was so kind too letting him try the lechong kawali plus teaching him how to blend the sauces.
I can see his body lean movement with a matching smile everytime he ate filipino dish hehe means he give his approval that the dish is awesomely good.thanks for loving filipino food. More power and keep safe always.
Every bite, leans to the right.
You're such a great foodie, I am from Quezon City but I don't even know this gem of a place. I enjoy watching your awesome food adventures
The faces you make after you take a bite of some amazing food.....priceless bro!
The signature of Mark reaction on how he appreciate food..love it
I should not watch your vlogs with an empty stomach! Mouth-watering especially on how you eat it!!! I really miss authentic foods in the Philippines!! Thanks for appreciating our foods Mark! We always love watching your food vlogs! 😘😍
Almost all Filipino meals are like a feast ! Hope you participate in the military style Boodle fight dining experience in this trip; Great video as usual Mark
Thank you Hasher, didn't get to try a Boodle fight this time, but it looks amazing!
Mark Wiens hi may we know where you going next so we can see you. fan for years =)

chloe valer
I love you
Hasher Ummar ok
Every time I watch his show, I feel like I want to eat again. He is contagious 🤣
Don't ever stop Mark, fan for life here:)
Thanks Scott!
Every bite you take feels like watching a horror hoping it's gonna end in a good way
He checks the bowl right next to him so he doesn't hit it. Its at 3:11
and then he changes the clip because he hit it.
grabe ang sarap manood... pangi mark wiens
I'm born in the Philippines and I am a big foodie. You're making me hungry cuz I love our food. I live alone so I don't cook much but when I want to eat Pilipino food I will cook or I get someone else to cook it. Just yummy!
Isn't Mark just simply the best?! How many times has he visited the Philippines compared to other countries? I'm guessing Mark really loves Filipino food even though he has been travelling all around across the globe for years. He's visited the Philippines numerous times already. Mark you're the bomb! Keep on visiting the Philippines every now and then. :D
You are such a nice person. I hope you and your family never come across troubles.
Hey Mark ! I haven't missed your even videos from past except some old videos !!!
Love philippines ! LOVE FROM BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY NEPAL !!!
Thank you very much!
Mark Wiens ...chamdi!
That moment when you have to eat your boring food while watching the video so as to feel you are eating the same as Mark😪
I love his positive attitude and I miss the food of the Philippines!
This is the best home authentic cooking filipino food ! The Bangus is something to die for.
So glad you got to taste so many wonderful dishes during this trip! These videos make me homesick because they are so honest and accurate :) Glad you get to know all the textures and sauces integral to PH cuisine! Some of my favourite Filipino foods that I haven't seen you try yet are Kinilaw (our version of Ceviche) and Adobong Pusit (squid ink adobo)! Hope you and the fam are having a blast!
His videos in the Philippines makes me appreciate Filipino food even more! #drools
that smile you make after every good bite 😂😂
i just wanna say that i admire you appreciating different cuisines and culture and also not showing any fear of trying any dish.. whatever it is. keep it up👌🏻
You are killing me with all those yummy Philippine dishes. I am a Filipino myself, rarely eat those exotic food. More power to you! I am a fan.
Mark put calamansi on soy sauce it's really good combination :).
Mom's Spaghetti 7 he does that if you watch his previous videos including his last visit in ph but the way he eat the chillies demmm respect lol
Chakie Olino hahaha as if chilies are not spicy hahaha
BIg fan here Mark! Been watching your videos for a few years now, always entertaining! You should consider sharing some of your travel horror stories with us sometime. Surely everybody would be interested in hearing them. No doubt you have a few.
this guy could be the next Anthony Bourdain. i like him more than Andrew Zimmerman. He never over-complicate his way of explaining the taste of the food. And the chillies? Oh dear, Mark, you eat it like a boss. A long time subscriber here!
Oh hell yeah! Compared to Andrew Zimmerman, I love Mark the most no doubt about that!
If he's the next Anthony Bourdain will he commit suicide later in his life too?
Hmmm...
Thank you so much, Mark. I honoy your cultural appreciation of our Filipino foods. Your selection of the areas and the quality of cooking and home-grown customer service shows authentic pinoy lifestyles. I enjoy watching your vlogs. More power.
The only vlog that I don't fast forward because I love how you describe the taste of the foods, your tradeMARK facial expressions when you eat something you like..😅
Bangus (Milkfish) is the best especially the bangus from Dagupan! Great video again Mark :)
Everybody favorite in the Philippines grilled Milkfish !❤️❤️❤️
Wow great video mark, my mouth is all watery! And thanks for the 4k, beautiful :)
Mark is really a guy that knows da yum taste of food best
I love it! I have to go back to the Philippines. Great food, great places to visit and above all the people are incredibly friendly.
Theres so much more filipino food in pampanga mark! i hope you go there.
JcQuizon agree!
JcQuizon he went there.. check his instagram.. waitng for that vlog to cone up
JcQuizon agree with that he go to pampanga capital food culinary in phil.
Marakal manyaman kaman keng pampanga
JcQuizon I'm going!! Can't wait! 🇵🇭👨🍳👍mabuhay ang sisig!!
i go to a local philipino resteraunt and they fry the milk fish and its reeking with garlic. its so damn good. they have the craziest ice cream 2
I think that is daing na bangus
Milk fish with green tomatoes is the bestest
For the best bulalo you should drive down south to TAGAYTAY. That's the specialty of our province. Plus, the temperature is cold matched with a breathtaking view.
I disagree. Di masarap bulalo sa Tagaytay. Mas masarap bulalo ng Kapampangan. Pero sa view and weather wala ako masasabi sa Tagaytay.
Mark is simply the best...THE BEST!!!
I miss you so much my Philippines...thanks Mark for visiting my country and eating Filipino food...
YASSSSS.
*is happy before I even watch the video*
Thanks Serena!
Great video as usual Mark! I suggest you visit pangasinan/bataan for their seafood, baguio and pampanga for their wide range cuisine, exotic dishes, and some other tasty delicacies.
That fish and shrimp paste is now in my bucket list...
And there is no video on your channel which I haven't watched... Lots of love from india
Seasons with Palak the shrimp paste is usually available in filipino groceries or ask a filipino wer to buy .
Hi Seasons with Palak, if you come here in Manila I'd like you to taste our home made shrimp paste.
Mark is just being generous with his food comments because he knows he has a lot of Filipino subscribers. Enjoy eating Mr Weins
Mark thank you for enjoying our filipino foods n come back again
You just had two types of bagoong, Mark. In case it was confusing :)
Bagoong alamang - shrimp paste
Bagoong isda - fermented fish sauce (anchovy)
Mark should just carry a bag full of peppers with him in case of emergency.
In case of a Food Trip 😂🤣
Finally the head tilt is BACK BABY 😏
Mark closes his eyes and tilts to the right after the bite. That is it!
Love the way he describes the food and the flavours in all of his food reviews...
I've seen a lot of foreigners say that Filipino food tastes bad and that it was the worst kind of food they have ever tasted...I think it's dues to a combination of different factors, they might have just eaten at the wrong place...or they just don't have enough knowledge about how to properly eat Filipino food...a lot of Filipino dishes and cuisines are highly reliant on condiments and dipping sauces, they don't just merely add flavor to the food but they actually add life to the food...without the condiments a lot of the dishes would taste bland and boring, I'm not saying that all Filipino dishes need condiments but those that really needs to be eaten with condiments and dips really needs to be eaten with condiments and dips...some great examples are - Kare-Kare and bago-ong (basically Kare-Kare doesn't taste great without the bago-ong but too much bago-ong could also ruin the Kare-Kare), grilled pork, chicken or fish with either soy sauce & calamansi or vinigar with salt & onions...even lumpiang shanghai wouldn't taste as good without the sweet & sour sauce.
You eat the chili like candy..XD
Like it was nothing! lol
Yes He love eating hot pepper. We called that here in Philippines sili labuyo
Hey Mark, I totally love your videos and how genuine you are for actually and accepting and loving diversities of food and culture, someone who actually went out on a "Karinderya" type of eatery to eat to a rustic, wholesome home cooked filipino meals, lately i've been sick and tired of people using enticing titles and faking their reaction when trying Filipino foods just to get a lot of views from Filipinos.
PS. Sorry for the random rant, been a fan since 2017 peace!
Dude!..I am from a Cuban/Spain family and been here in Pinas for over 6 years and I got to tell you,Food here,if prepared well,is like reaching Heaven's door steps without any clue and then St Michael tells me...Hey Mario there is Heaven up there were the food is just...HEAVEN!
Filipinos always nice and very hospitable! I want to go back there someday.
I love chicken heart. People look at me like I’m crazy, but I always want the heart of the chicken or turkey.
Me too, whenever i get the chance is beg my family to give me the chicken hearts as a kid.
Mark you're a great man .You're cool and nice guy.Thanks for uploading .Always love to watch your videos and vlog
Thank you very much Mike, really appreciate you watching.
Mark Wiens pls visit baguio one of the greatest restaurants in baguio is the rose cafe a lot of people crave for their guisado... another restaurant is the good taste u should taste their adobong hito buttered chicken .u should also try the street food of baguio like binatog ,taho (strawberry taho) and a lot more
Mark Wiens u should also need to taste the etag the specialty of the igorots another one is the pinik pikan and the rive wine
Hi Mark, I suggest if you really love bangus it is best to try in Pangasinan province (approx 6 hours from Manila by car). Bagoong has 2 different types: 1. Shrimp paste 2. Fish sauce. Love this vlog👌🏾.
Wishing you will also include some bloopers. I really like the way you eat. Sana all. For the Philippines.
lol, that chubby kid with the Oppai t-shirt from One Punch Man at the end. xD
Maonz Edong yo you don't call people chubby, you rude !
a bit too well nourished? xD
calling someone chubby or fat isnt rude, they are fat its a description. if they take offense maybe they should lose weight.
that chubby kid is my nephew..
cool, tell him I like his shirt!
Mark: and the chillies are a LITTLE BIT spicy.
Chilli: am i a joke to you?!
I was looking for this comment. While watching i said nobody bites Labuyo whole like that. At least nobody i know.
When I saw that fly at 6:14, my hand automatically moved. 🤣😂
I love Mark's politeness!
Look how filipino assist our visitor.. they even gave him a free taste of lechon kawali.
How can I double thumbs up?!
Spicy Crabs
