Thank you so much sir for featuring “ATE ANNA’S CRISPY KARE KARE ATBP.- VILLAMOR PASAY BRANCH in your channel sir. Grateful for this opportunity. This is going to be a big help for our small business. More power sir 🙏🧡. Our hearts are full knowing that you actually liked our dishes.
This is probably the best (so far) Philippine food vlog made by a foreigner. It is so immersive and tried some foods that many foreign vloggers have failed to show. It's a mix of what's popular and must-try and also some not so well known but equally great food to try. The puto-bumbong in the end is a perfect ending to this episode.
This is by far the most deep and realistic true Filipino street food vlog ever! Very spontaneous, non scripted video. He actually ate all the food he ordered and enjoyed it. One man show! No need for big production crew. Mike you’re the best! I love this video
You can tell Mikey's in his happy place when he starts getting the sisig sweats! As a Filipino-American, this brought back a lot of food memories with my Dad. Thank you for this!
Oh my gosh, all the Filipinos approving the video really is so cool. Like confirmation that we're seeing the REAL country & experiencing it with him, but confidently
I know how these food tastes being a Filipino but this guy’s appetite for Filipino food is on another level!!! Really enjoyed watching this video. Now I’m craving for some Filipino food!!!
This is the most fun I’ve ever had watching a foreigner do a food vlog in the Philippines! Amazing. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos
Hi Mike ! Glad you enjoyed Elar’s Lechon. It’s considered one of the top 3 if not the best Lechon in the country. It is actually considered an institution and is usually the Lechon of choice for corporates and big high society events. Thank you for promoting our foods. We are very proud of it and we love it. Enjoy your visit.
I love how you just walk around trying the first food you glimpse at.. that right there is real philippine experience.. more power to you sir.. thank you for sharing to the world the filipino culture..
Thanks man for showcasing smaller businesses and really taking time to present the quality and value of our food! Been following you since your 7/11 reviews and I must admit everytime you are in PH, you share your joys about our food. This vid might be your best one yet!
By far one of the best food review for legit Pinoy dishes. Best Filipino dishes and street food. The spontaneous and random places where he ate and how he explained and react to each meal/food-with no script or nil added dramas made it more authentic and fun at the same time! Definitely auto like and subscribe! 💯💯💯
Wow! During my college days in Philippine State College of Aeronautics (PhilSCA), Estong's sisig was a staple to us students! They had the BEST sisig and I'm so glad that you were able to experience their food! Thank you for taking me down memory lane :)
I have watched you for a long time and seeing how you’ve come to discover Filipino food is just amazing. From your first try to really delving deep into the markets of Manila shows your passion for food. At 4:28 AM I am hungry
This is why Mike is my favorite travelling food blogger, just when he ate the kare-kare he instinctively put the shrimp paste with it. Because that's really how we eat it. If it would be a different person they'd be gagging from the smell of the shrimp paste.
This is so good! Just walking around and going for whatever piques your interest is probably the best way to actually experience Filipino food. Also, the fact that you don't have some sort of entourage whenever you go out to eat is the best part. No outside influences where people bring you places they want to promote, just hunger and curiosity.
Don't Watch with an empty stomach! I was drooling while watching this. The Seafood, Crispy Kare-Kare, Sisig, Lechon, etc... looks so Yummy! Thanks Mikey! More power to you & your channel!!!
Mike Chen is my favorite foreigner Pinoy food Vlogger!! This guy not only eat the food but also giving us real honest opinion about the food he eats👍🏻👍🏻😊
It's a joy to watch you enjoy our food! I just stumbled upon this video and you made me miss my country's cuisine so much. So rare to see a foreigner genuinely appreciate our food, thank you!
Probably the best food vlog by a foreigner. Just admiring everything without comparing to any other Asian country. To all foreigners out there, when you try our food, put in your mind that we're The Philippines. We have our own food and taste.
I've not eaten or experienced half of what you've eaten over the years, but it looks delicious and very healthy...I have missed these videos and am glad to once again see them...!!!!!!!!
just came back from the philippines a few days ago and I had my husband try lanzones, he def is addicted to it! It's the perfect amount of sweet. It's really good! Loved that you liked it too!
Thanks Mikey for always featuring Filipino food.....you are one of the genuine vloggers obviously into our culture and our food......we support and love you 🥰🥰🥰🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
this is legit the best food blog of filipino dishes ever. I love how you just walk around and look for restaurants unlike all ive seen they just go to big names.
I already like you and your videos before but I like you even more now. Not only because Philippines is my home country but since I know what‘s good and what‘s not, it made me realize even more how genuine and authentic you are in reviewing food from different countries. Enjoy your travels! looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Im now a follower and fan. I like how you are able to properly describe the food. Some may not be your favorite but you are so good out how you describe what is nit perfect about it but does not dwell into it. You just continue to properly describe. ❤
Same here if we're talking 24 hours but this was a 50hr vlog and Mike works out a lot everyday and knowing how hot it is in Manila, I'm sure you'll manage.
Oh my goodness Mr. Mikey.. mouth is watering while watching you eating all the Filipino foods that I've missed so much for many years.. i missed my home country so much.. hope to go home soon...
Great video Mikey! I love the videos when you venture around the streets and just enjoy! The people of the Philippines are just the warmest. Looking forward to the next one already!
Thank you for sharing the local eats close to the airport. This is beneficial for the local economy as well as for people traveling from aboard. Cheers from NYC! 🎉❤
Awesome! Welcome back! Better make your sawsawan.. Fish sauce+Kalamansi+spicy chili, satisfying. Especially if you are eating bulalo. And if you see a vinegar dip with a lot of shallots or onion and chili, scoop more.
Man Mike been doing this for like 15 years or longer , he got to be in his mid 40s by now been watching this man since I was in high school and I’m 33 lol . He is the original food reviewer of the world .
I am a big fan and i live just outside Villamor where you were staying.. had i known we could have met. I'm glad that you went to see and eat food from not so popular areas in the City. This is one of the best videos you made man. We love what you're doing. Keep up the good work. God Bless and be safe always.
Mike, I am so glad you ate where the locals go. I loved & miss everything you had. It's been a long while since I got to eat someone else's Filipino cooking, because it's hard to cook pinoy dishes for just one or two people. Palabok is my favorite of the pancit. I love the contrasting textures & flavors. My Mom made it with bagnet chicharon, shredded smoked fish, sliced boiled eggs, shrimp, green onions, & crispy fried garlic all on top of the pancit bihon & shrimp sauce. Gotta have it with calamansi. Made me laugh when the locals ask you where you're from. You could definitely pass as one of my relatives😂
Fresh lumpia is Fujian/Chaozhou in origin. It is known as popiah in Singapore/Malaysia and widely sold in Taiwan as fresh spring roll. And Mikey says he's never had it before.
the flavor changer for that would be the vegetables. The veggies used by singapore or taiwan might be a different set here in the PH which makes it different

Hello Sir! Thank you so much for featuring our family business. We really appreciate it. Grateful for you. - Ontiveros Ihaw Ihaw
Ontiveros sisig is just chef kiss. Sobrang solid dinadayo ko pa from montalban. 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🫶
Where are you located po?
Ontiveros ihaw ihaw..kinalakihan ko n yan..batang Vilamor solid.😊😊
Wow nice way to be featured in Mike's food vlog and he loved everything he ate there!
16:00 ? looks clean and packed. so busy. its proof how good your place is.
This is probably the best (so far) Philippine food vlog made by a foreigner. It is so immersive and tried some foods that many foreign vloggers have failed to show. It's a mix of what's popular and must-try and also some not so well known but equally great food to try. The puto-bumbong in the end is a perfect ending to this episode.
That's why we love Mike! Check his previous Ph vlogs, too
Legit!
Watch Dooby's vlog it's more in depth and much more local.
I'd say the "Best Ever Food review show" channel
What do you expect its Jackie chan,jk its mikey chen, tasty dumpling 4ever
This is by far the most deep and realistic true Filipino street food vlog ever! Very spontaneous, non scripted video. He actually ate all the food he ordered and enjoyed it. One man show! No need for big production crew. Mike you’re the best! I love this video
The best Filipino food blog that I’ve seen in a long while. Straight to the point and most importantly Mike eats some of the best Filipino cuisines.
Indeed! Happy to have you again Mike. ❤
@ ☺️
This… is… the real deal !!! Authentic, local, sweaty, humid, delicious, everyday Filipino food… This is really how it is !!! Good job!
You can tell Mikey's in his happy place when he starts getting the sisig sweats! As a Filipino-American, this brought back a lot of food memories with my Dad. Thank you for this!
In my opinion,this is the best Filipino food vlog you've done.Real filipino food.
Thanks Mike.
Oh my gosh, all the Filipinos approving the video really is so cool. Like confirmation that we're seeing the REAL country & experiencing it with him, but confidently
I know how these food tastes being a Filipino but this guy’s appetite for Filipino food is on another level!!! Really enjoyed watching this video. Now I’m craving for some Filipino food!!!
Right??? I've eaten everything Mike ate in the video, pero pag siya yung nagprepresenta, nakaka crave sobra! 😂🙌
This is the most fun I’ve ever had watching a foreigner do a food vlog in the Philippines! Amazing. Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos
Hi Mike ! Glad you enjoyed Elar’s Lechon. It’s considered one of the top 3 if not the best Lechon in the country. It is actually considered an institution and is usually the Lechon of choice for corporates and big high society events. Thank you for promoting our foods. We are very proud of it and we love it. Enjoy your visit.
Best in Luzon but not in Visayas and Mindanao.
We will surely visit Elar’s lechon
tried it, still does not compare with authentic cebu lechon
I love how you just walk around trying the first food you glimpse at.. that right there is real philippine experience.. more power to you sir.. thank you for sharing to the world the filipino culture..
I feel like I just gained 5 lbs watching the video... So good!
😂😂😂

this guy knows the food spots better than a filipino like me, kudos!
Mikey we appreciate you deeply for actually trying to go places where most tourists wouldn’t.
I have watched you for a long time and seeing how you’ve come to discover Filipino food is just amazing. From your first try to really delving deep into the markets of Manila shows your passion for food. At 4:28 AM I am hungry

True his food review are true and honest u can tell if the food is good ❤❤❤
Shrimp paste is tough for white people. Mike is Asian, shrimp paste is like the back of his hand for him.

What I like about Mike is that he actually finishes his food and not just give it to others after a taste

Thank you for coming to the philippines, we need positive things like this for our country...
Strictly Dumpling has got to be part of my childhood now. As a Filipino, I grew up watching this channel. ❣❣
This is such a useful video. For someone who's never been to Philippines and what to try their food, this can be a guide. Thank you!
I do appreciate how he features small neighborhood spots and those some of those spots are amazing
One day I will visit the country I was adopted from. Need to learn more about my heritage and culture. I love finding videos like these.
I'm glad you're able to comeback here in the Philippines.. We miss you here ❤

It’s so nice to see you feel right at home in the Philippines. The way you just went out and picked your food definitely made you look like a local.
just came back from the philippines a few days ago and I had my husband try lanzones, he def is addicted to it! It's the perfect amount of sweet. It's really good! Loved that you liked it too!
Yup, my favorite fruit, even more so than Philippine mangoes which are the best in the world. For me, #1 Lanzones #2 Mangoes #3 Mangosteen
My favorite fruit is lanzones

15 years living abroad and watching this delicious food from my home country make me want to go home.
Elar’s the best lechon in my book. You really do justice to Pinoy food, Mike Chen!

Missing home 😢. Glad you like Filipino food. Thank you for this ❤️❤️❤️

I'm flying to Manila on Sunday and I come across your video. Great timing. Can't wait to try sisig!
I hope you try halo halo. It’s a dessert. Just make sure you mix it well (Yes, it may spill). Enjoy the Philippines!
IF you're not sure about any dish or anything at all, don't hesitate to ask the locals.
There’s a storm though in Manila. Safe travels!
Drink beer with sisig! It’s great!
My ALL-TIME FAVORITE food vlogger!!! Thank youuu for loving Filipino cuisine ❤❤❤
Bone marrow and squid... That's a combination I would not expect, but looks amazing!
Thanks for featuring PH. Ur an Asian Hero
i like that you started with the local "carenderia" that for me is the best way to experience authentic home cook filipino food.
This is absolutely the best Filipino food vlog ever. So so good!!
I want to go there! Love how it is adhoc and you are honest.
You can tell Mike loves the Philippines because he keeps coming back. BTW, that second Sisig and Lechon looks dope!
The way you eat oh men!!! you making me really hungry and i miss those food back home. Im glad you enjoying filipino foods.
Globe Lumpia is one of the best, love it since. Elar’s lechon is also one the best in Manila. thanks for loving our food ❤
my favorite solo food vlogger is back!
I am a big fan and i live just outside Villamor where you were staying.. had i known we could have met. I'm glad that you went to see and eat food from not so popular areas in the City. This is one of the best videos you made man. We love what you're doing. Keep up the good work. God Bless and be safe always.
This guy knows Filipino food, and man, can he eat lol. Really cool how he went to those not so known places that offers great value
Mike, I am so glad you ate where the locals go. I loved & miss everything you had. It's been a long while since I got to eat someone else's Filipino cooking, because it's hard to cook pinoy dishes for just one or two people. Palabok is my favorite of the pancit.

Gotta have it with calamansi.
Made me laugh when the locals ask you where you're from. You could definitely pass as one of my relatives😂
Yesss I love your Manila videos, jave wanted to go since you last visited. So excited for this one, thanks Mikey! ❤
Your video on filipino foods made me missed the Phil. The foods are so mouth watering. The way you describe them are so delicious.
Fresh lumpia is Fujian/Chaozhou in origin. It is known as popiah in Singapore/Malaysia and widely sold in Taiwan as fresh spring roll. And Mikey says he's never had it before.
the flavor changer for that would be the vegetables. The veggies used by singapore or taiwan might be a different set here in the PH which makes it different
I got pretty hungry after watching this. The palabok and crispy kare kare looked really good! Now I'm craving for one.
