What is your favorite Filipino dish?

Jollibee fried chicken. lol.
Anything with noodles
Does anybody do Pork better than Filipinos?? I'd fill my plate with every dish that has pork.
Do not go to a Jollibee. No true foodie would ever consider their food good. Their fried chicken is overrated and their spaghetti has sugar in it. My 4 fave Pinoy dishes are Kare Kare which you seem familiar with, sinigang which is similar to a Thai sour soup dish but made with pork, bulalo which is made with beef and if you get lucky they also include bone marrow, and finally dinuguan which is a pork blood dish which is why it's black in.color - but dinuguan is not for everybody especially since many people get turned off by the though of eating a dish made with pigs blood.
@@rjhemedes Try telling that to all the haters on my Jollibee video.
I’m Mexican… I Love My Filipino Brothers and Sisters….. worked with so many at Cedars for 20yrs…. and fell in Loved with their Great Delicious Food !!! There was this lady that walked around the whole hospital selling Filipino food from a bucket on the down low…. and it was so DELICIOUS !!! Also had many Filipino friends share their food with me and I also shared and took them to Mexican Food venues. Hope to visit this place in the near future.
Awesome. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
well, i love horchata, enchiladas, tacos, burrito, tamarindo etc
SAME here from Cedars! I think I will try this one this weekend!
So blessed with Filipino friends🪅🫧✨
filipinos like mexicans too. mutual respect
My wife and I ate here for brunch, and we LOVED it! We even mentioned your video to get the extra 5% off our meals! They had practically all the dishes you highlighted except for the sinigang. But they did have tocino and longanisa! Super delicious and thank you for reviewing their buffet!
I love that you allowed the founder of the restaurant to describe the food because his pronunciation is on point!!!! Looks like an amazing restaurant.
Yes indeed
He did okay. He named the dishes but didn't really go into specifics.
Daniel Belen, kababayan, you got to do better than that. Give a translation of the Filipino food in your restaurant if you want to get more customers. Your vlogger is non-Filipino and his audience would not be all Filipinos. Anyway, I'll do it for you.
3:03 Steamed Jasmine Rice

I like how he described Panaroma City. I used to live near there and its not the prettiest section of LA. It feels more like a 3rd world country but its filled with Filipino restaurants since it has a sizeable Filipino community. Filipino food lends itself to buffet style since so many of the dishes tend to be stews or very saucy dishes. Thanks for sharing this restaurant's offering with us. I hope when you update your 101 best dishes in LA, you include at least one Filipino dish because LA Country has the largest number of Filipinos living outside of the Philippines. Pinoy cuisine doesn't quite get the coverage it deserves, but that's because most of the Filipino restaurants in the USA try and cater only to Filipinos, not to the rest of the non-Filipino population. So they don't bother trying to make the plating of the food look good and instead serve most of it cafeteria style. There are just a few true sit down, individual entree order types of restaurants in LA County - most Filipinos don't dine in them because they want to pay the lower prices at the cafeteria style restaurants. Its almost funny that back in the 80's, oxtail used to be considered very cheap meat, but now its more "gourmet". The best Filipino dishes are served in the sit down, order an entree type of format though since the quality of the food tends to be higher than what you find at buffet and cafeteria style restaurants. One of the better ones is Kusina Filipina in Cerritos. And for dessert, the best version of Halo Halo is at Tastyblock Hawaiian Shave Ice in Carson. Both Carson and Cerritos have significant Filipino residents.
Cool info.
@@RockstarEater if you luv garlic rice, please note its more commonly served for Filipino style breakfasts, not lunch nor dinner. Filipino breakfasts consist of a meat, fried egg and garlic rice. There are several combinations but they all end with "log". One of the better versions of Filipino breakfasts including garlic rice is served at Ethan's Chibugan in Carson. Ethans also is well known for their lechon which you have to pre-order. Its very similar to Italian porchetta.
wait, i thought Daly City in the Bay Area is the pinoy capital
@@Ginger30161 there are more Pinoys living in the city of LA than Daly City. I've been to Daly City many times but it's Filipino population isn't really much larger than the ones down in Carson, Cerritos and West Covina [nicknamed New Manila). Eagle Rock, Panorama City, Canoga Park, nd Historic Filipino town are all really part of the City of LA. Then you have National Coty down in San Diego County which is another Pinoy town.
right. it's really ghetto over there in panorama. pano ba naman mga pinoy ang nakatira 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for sharing your experience, 2 days after watching your review of Bamboo Bistro my husband and I drove 20 miles on a Sunday, we were looking forward eating at this place, however a little disappointed. For dessert all they had was a thinly sliced fried yum, where are the kakanin (sweets) and halo-halo, a decent sliced mixed fruits would have been better.
The oxtail kare-kare hands down you are on point delicious. FYI, I did mention to the owner the only reason we were trying the place for the 1st time was because of your review, I just hope for your future food reviews, the place would live up to our expectations.
I just subscribed! I'm glad i run into your blogs (YT) just tonight, lol and found this filipino buffet through you, yess!! All looked sooo yummyy!! It is only 25 mnts drive here from where I live!..🙏👌👍😋
Hi Steve. Thanks for this nice video..love the pork and fish also oxtail...prize is great..place is lovely 👍👍💕💕💛💯
I’ve never had Filipino food before but it always looks so good 😍 I don’t eat pork much but lechon looks amazing, bad for you but amazing lol. I really have to go to a Filipino restaurant soon.
Ok ..marry me and I will cook for you 24/7 and we live in Palawan Islands paradise in Philippines
Thanks for showing this and keep up the good videos! I'll take my family there.
Hope you like it
Good job describing the foods! Thanks for trying Filipino food.... a lot of people are still afraid to try it.
Thanks for watching! Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
I will try the Phillipino food now. Thanks for posting Steve.
Try me .. and I will cook Filipinos food for you everyday...
You should be eating all those dishes with rice (in your spoon!)😁It actually balances the sweet, salty, fried, fatty dishes which Filipino food is mainly known for. Comfort food at its best.. 🤤Also, using a spoon and fork at the same time in both hands is not practiced in the US. I really have to check this place out when I'm lazy to cook at home. So glad you reviewed this place and enjoyed a variety of Filipino food!
More rice next time!
@@RockstarEater, in the Philippines, when someone wants extra rice, the request is worded in this way, "Rice pa more!" ( Literally, "More rice!" )
I don't think i've ever tried Filipino food but does look good! Fish and noodles especially 🤤
Good place to start!
Try it girl you will love it.
The popular dishes that I suggest you start with are the noodle or pancit, adobo, and sinigang(sour soup which could have fish or meat). Also the fried pork or lechon kawali. Filipino dishes are normally eaten with rice. They're very strong in flavors and some can be salty so pair them with plain rice. Be aware that it can be addictive so if you're watching your weight or cholesterol level...
I like your food tour in L.A, that's why I subscribed to you channel. I'm a big fan of series and movies with L.A as a setting, from the Chinatown 1974 movie to Bosch series of novels by Michael Connelly.
Glad you enjoy it some of it look really good
:)
I moved from So. Cal. to the phillipines in 2019 and I have eaten alot of those foods cooked outside over an open fire and it is very good and it's good to see an authentic phillipino restaraunt back home. Geeetimgs from Bacolod Negros Occidental phillipines and if you get a chance, you should check out Jollibee it is also a phillipino hamburger place with other good phillipino foods.
Cool. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
8 months off of youtube and i come back with my guy who has his channel growing 💪
Thanks for this! I'll definitely go this weekend 🤭 although the fried fish you got on your second plate I think is a milk fish, not a tilapia..
Excellent upload, this is a really great food place.
I will be visiting this restaurant this weekend. I love Filipino food.
Wow! Everything looks good!
Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
I love Filipino food, thank you.
Very nice. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I noticed you ate the rice and meat separately, Next time, try how Pinoys would eat... there's a reason for the spoon! We put some rice with the meat, scoop with the spoon in one bite! The food is usually sweet or salty, and is meant to be eaten with rice to balance it out or soak up the sauce. 👍🏻
I live here in LA 29 yrs.and just subscribe.Im a Pinoy.
Love ur channel man❤
Wow, about 10 years ago, my wife and I were visiting from the Bay Area and we stopped and ate there! It was great but back then it was about $10🙂
Sounds great! Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
Wow! Food looks great!
Definitely one of the most interesting buffets in LA.
I probably come here 3+ a month. What’s nice is that it’s not always the same dishes. You needed to eat the kare kare with the shrimp paste, its pretty bland without it. A lot of the dishes that has sauce needs to be eaten with rice. Just think of it like Indian curry. You never eat curry by itself, always comes with rice. Same with Filipino dishes since it needs rice to balance the flavor. As for the halo halo, you need to thoroughly mix it where the liquid turns purple and the ingredients at the bottom have been mixed with the top ingredients.
Shame you didn’t try the champorada. It’s a breakfast item but can also be eaten like dessert. Think of it like melted Crunch bars. It’s made of just chocolate and rice.
In glad u enjoyed some of the most popular Filipino dishes.
Those are mostly comfort foods for us.

Looks delicious I want to try all of it
👍👍👍 I used to live in Canoga Park. The Halo-halo is half the price of the buffet already in some places. Thank you for tasting our Filipino dishes. 👍
I love Filipino food💗😍
Looked pretty good. Price is great. Thank you for the review.
Sure is
The food looks very good!

The Filipino way to eat is to use the fork and scoop everything into the spoon. Very efficient
I always like kare kare, lechon kawali and pinakbet.😋😋😋😋

I live in lake Elsinore. That’s quite a drive. But I’ll go. You convinced me.
Nice spot. Food looks real good. Definitely worth the price. Lately you can't even eat proper at the cheapest places for less than 10 and you get crap.
Good insight.
comfort foods for sure.

Wow, their buffet serves Jeprox! I hope that they shake things up a bit by also serving Bulad & Tuyo during their weekend buffets; especially on Sundays when such items should be made a staple. 😲🤤😋👍👌

semua menunya terlihat enak sekali
Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
Fun fact for you! Pinoy's originally ate with only 1 chopstick until the spoon was introduced, then for many many years Pinoy's ate with one chopstick and a spoon, eventually they replaced the single chopstick with a fork when noodles was introduced..... I'm so full of it, don't believe a word I just said. Just having fun with my people. LOL!
Good trivia
hmm,, thats interesting !! :D
true or not that would still be cool i think
True ba?
Istoryahi kol
Is this even true? What I know is that we used to eat with our barehands not chopstick
A reason for the spoon...most dishes are saucy...and you use it to "shovel" food so it doesn't fall.
Loved Bamboo Bistro when it was at West Covina. Miss it

I love garlic rice. They have garlic rice and the sausage at work on Wednesday’s.
After I passed my Boards for my LMFT, my friend took me to a Filipino restaurant in Cerritos to celebrate and I had the Halo Halo dessert. I was surprised @ how huge the dessert it was and it was so good!
Ok..stop... enough for foods

How I wish it was closer to my place. Hope you enjoyed our Filipino food ROCKSTAR EATER.
Cool! I rarely see vlogs about Filipino buffets in the US or if there are any. Usually it's either just carinderia or boodle feast style (as closest to a buffet). It would be nice though if the restaurant can also provide some graphic tips (on walls or table stands) how best to eat certain dishes -- what's paired with what or what sauce goes with what (e.g. like those breakfast mains -- tapa, longanisa, jeprox, tocino-- would go well with a spiced vinegar dipping sauce). Would be very helpful to foreigners not familiar with the cuisine.
Share video with your friends :)
5% off the buffet here I come. 😃
Hope you enjoy it!
Would love to try but Panarama City is almost a 2hrs drive for me from south OC. Will keep on my checklist though if ever I happen to be in that area
Hope you like it. Please continue to follow my channel to see other great food videos!
Nice review. nwys, we Filipinos love dipping sauce. the owner could have showed you which sauce is good for different dishes to make the food taste even better and have a better experience. like that crispy fish "jeprox" and longganisa, those are really good with vinegar.

I was excited to visit this buffet over the weekend due to this video. I don't know if I went on a bad time/day but it was Saturday afternoon. Selection wasn't that great but enough I guess. Anyways, most items were fried or used fatty cuts of meat. I was almost done after the first plate but forced myself to go for a second plate to make it worth the $20 price tag. Needless to say, I did not finish the second plate nor had any desserts. Also didn't feel that great for a day or so from all that fried food and fatty meats. That's too bad cuz it was only about 20 min from me.
with Filipino cuisine, you eat with Spoon and Fork. Use the spoon to pick up rice with the "ulam" with it.

Thank you for trying filipino food ❤️🇵🇭 we hope you like it!
Panorama city was there a couple of times and I found out where all the adult entertainment dance facilities are that’s where they push them to almost seen one on every corner that was crazy you know a strip joint kind of what New York did to their section try to push them to the back
Tulo laway 🤣🤣🤣

Huzzzzuuhh!
One of the reason why you can get quality food with cheaper price in the Philippines is because most filipino people exactly look for it. Most of us don't spend regularly on pricey restaurants. You see way more people in Mang Inasal during lunch breaks for instance than in any other 5-star restaurants that's why also the former has longevity in the market lmao Cheap price + quality >>>>
