0:00:00 Introduction
0:00:34 Taste 2: Durian Ice Cream 30 pesos (about 81 yen)
The smell of durian is strong, with a fruity taste. It's delicious.
0:02:34 Taste 2: Shawarma 100 pesos (about 270 yen)
The cabbage and cucumber are crisp and pleasant to bite into.
The chicken is soft, juicy, and enticing with mayonnaise and sweet sauce.
It's a bit spicy but manageable for those who don't like spice.
The wrapping bread is a bit dry; it would be perfect with a more chewy texture.
0:05:27 Taste 3: Grilled Catfish Skewer 200 pesos (about 539 yen)
The white meat is juicy, and the flavor is mild. It might be similar to softly grilled tuna.
It looked big and seemed like it would be hard to finish, but the head and bones are quite large, so it was relatively easy to eat. Salt and soy sauce would pair well with it.
0:13:52 Red Iced Tea 35 pesos (about 94 yen)
Even the staff didn't know what fruit it was made from.
It has a strawberry jam-like sweetness and is refreshingly easy to drink.
0:17:19 Taste 3: Grilled Squid Price unconfirmed
Plump and full of flavor, on par with Japanese squid. Delicious.
Mixed with lemongrass, tomatoes, and green onions for a fragrant aroma.
0:19:44 Taste 2: Grilled Pork Skewer Price unconfirmed
A bit tough but tasty with barbecue sauce, just as expected.
0:27:42 Taste 2: Hopia (Ube flavor) 10 pesos (about 27 yen)
The outside has a crispy pie crust texture, and the inside seems like dried ube paste.
Not too sweet, and despite its small size, it sits heavily in the stomach.
Would pair well with black coffee or green tea.
