0:26 Taipei to Manila - On Day 1 of our short trip to Manila, we took a flight from Taipei to Manila and arrived at night. We were already scheduled to stay at Discovery Primea Hotel, which was arranged by my friend Anton. Flight went well, we got our baggage, and then once we arrived in Manila,someone from the hotel was there to greet us and picked us up.
1:26 Discovery Primea Hotel - Discovery Primea is a hotel in the Makati area, and it’s a very nice and new hotel. They gave us a huge room.
3:53 Breakfast - We woke up the next morning, hungry and ready for breakfast. It wasn’t a buffet breakfast, but they had a salad bar and a menu that you could order from. I went with the beef wagyu tapa, a bed of rice topped with eggs and steak.
6:54 Restaurant Tapenade - After getting some work done, we went to meet the management of the hotel for lunch at Restaurant Tapenade, the signature restaurant at Discovery Primea, that serves Mediterranean food. The food was all excellent, but I especially enjoyed the stone baked feta cheese dish, and the angus rib eye steak. It was amazing. Read the full blog post: migrationology.com/2015/09/res...
11:56 Met up with Anton from www.ourawesomeplanet.com/ - Anton has been a friend of mine for a long time, and he’s the one who invited us to Manial to speak at a conference. But in the afternoon we just met up with a class he was teaching.
12:50 Abe Restaurant - After the class we went to Abe Restaurant with Anton, known as one of the top indoor Filipino restaurants in Manila. The food, all of which Anton ordered, was all delicious. The lamb adobo was excellent, and I especially enjoyed the sinigang made with ripe guava and bangus fish. Food was really good, highly recommended.
Disclosure: We were invited to stay at Discovery Primea, so we didn’t pay for our stay. But everything in this video, and all thoughts are my own.

Thank you for watching!
It makes me happy, Mark, when you and Ying get the VIP red carpet treatment. Not only does it mean great food and travel adventures, but I really like to see people treat you right. Those Migrationoly-themed cookies were an impressive and memorable gesture that reflected a real touch of class and thoughtfulness by the hotel management.
Okie
Robert J. Holtz typical filipino hospitality we welcome our guest with the best that we have just to make them feel happy🇵🇭
Filipino service nothing beats them ... they can speak English, they are just so willingly helpful, polite no one esp. in S.E Asia can beat them ... the city has nothing much, but their service is absolutely awesome.
+Shah Esfelazi They have the best service in the whole wide world...
+Shah Esfelazi except that they are putang ina-ing all over SE Asia dota.
+Stanley William Pudjihartono (BlueHammer) watch ur mouth bro..
+Den V. Because majority of the places In Japan has at least 1 mechanical object. But yes, it is better than Philippine service.
+Stanley William Pudjihartono (BlueHammer) lmao xD
Mark, you and Ying must be the most blessed people in the WORLD. Love you guys for bringing me into your world, or shall I say "our" world.
+LaVale Nixon Thank you so much, really appreciate it!
I visited the Philippines many years ago and was impressed by the hospitality of the wonderful people there. Years later, back in the USA, I had a Filipino coworker who invited me to his house often for special occasions. Wonderful memories.
I only imagine how nice it would be to live in a country like this. I wish I had been born in a country like this. Polite, beautiful, genuine people. Awesome.
you are always welcome to visit and try our country,, I presently live in Germany but I am going to retire in the future back home..
thank very much for your comment obout the filipinos
I became a Filipino in 1996 when I married my Filipina wife. They are the friendliest most giving people on earth! I was instantly made to feel part of the family.
We are building a house there(Pampanga) to spend a part of our retirement.
Mark ..... I am not kidding .... I swear ..I Love watching your Videos and Feel myself Travelling with you ... You have Amazing Qualities /Abilities .. Stay Blessed Live Longer
Soo proud reading the comments, thanks guys! Filipino Hospitality at it's finest. Enjoy the Philippines, mabuhay! ✌🏼️😊
Pilipinos are well known for their hospitality , watching from Arizona USA ! ❤️❤️❤️
in our family, when a dish is particularly good we now call it the wiensgasm face....legend in our home lol x
+Kathrin Fisher Same. He has another face when the food is only so-so. The "yeah, yeah, this is okay." head mildly nodding look.
+moody lol I know just what you mean x his expressions are priceless...
Kathrin Fisher Someone make his expressions into memes!
I need a link lol...
Kathrin Fisher No, what I meant was, someone, quick, make his facial expressions into memes already!
Congratulations to the two of you....That room you were given was an awesome testament to your success as a food blogger.

love this! I've been to Abe. My mom makes sinigang with guava. Not a fan of it. I love it without the guava =). Lamb adobo sounds interesting. I love adobo and I love lamb so I will definitely have to try this when I go back to the PI. Never had fermented rice paste. Thank you so much for doing this video. These are foods that I have not tried in the Philippines yet and will definitely give those dishes a try .
so what?
Dy Vi lol
so happy to finally watch your Philippine travel for food episodes 😊
Fantastic video! Mark you are rising to the top and pursuing your dream. You deserve all of this greatness as well for your wife Ying! She has been there for you every step of the way! Such an awesome woman. The hard work and effort you put in to your video's and also keeping a great smile on paid off! Cheers!
Great Video Mark & Ying! I love your honest reviews! If you ever come to Houston, Texas give me a call. I would love to have you review some of my favorite restaurants.

+Christian Cabrera Yup when she was pointing at the tub, "May TV don, may TV don" sounds like
Ying is thai. And I agree she is soooo beautiful 😍
Ying is a thailander
Ryan Perez No, Ying is Thai and basically speaks Thai and some
English.

Manila is great city to visit!!! Thanks for sharing all those wonderful food!!!
mark this is your best series
I was looking forward to the wonderful food of the Philippines and was not disappointed,but the hotel is magnificent,beautiful and so efficient and creative(those cookies were incredible) and this was just the opening sequence.Breakfast again was an entre to the food and culture of the Philippines-just so exciting!
The evening meal was succulent and the "wonderfulness"of it was carried across TH-cam land to a dull and dreary London-a bright spark in my day.Like Oliver Twist I await more whilst munching on a dreary salad leaf-SIGH!
+Maria das Santos Thank you very much Maria, really appreciate your support.

Brent Thompson man you look great
Brace yourself! Lots of philipinos are coming to say proud to be philipino!
Hahaha! I wish I can Gringo, but I can't because that city of ours is way too corrupt.
+El capitane I'm proud to be a Filipino!
lol I'm a Filipino but eh rather not
lol...its true
+El capitane LOL. You know the Filipino psyche so well.
Mark! Always so inspiring to see your vlogs! We are heading to Manila next month, thank you for sharing your experience!
Mark, I am in my eighties but everytime I see your food trips around the world, I am reminded of my paternal grandparents . They had a restaurant and we were food spoiled. It's not just the restaurant that is exciting but the trips out of town with them or with our parents o their supply buying trips. The giant crabs and lobsters as well as shoe size oysters were unbelievable. Also wholesale buying of the fruits of trees was a rare experience for children our age. These were our out of town excursions that made our friends think that we were fibbing about. Actually, we grew up with food experience s that we could only talk about in our family. If anyone doest belive there are giant crabs and oysters as big as an adult shoe, go to Quezon. Thank you for the joy of the now vicarious experience of eating around the world, Mark.
+Mark Wiens you are on your way of becoming a legend.. how I wish I have many thumbs :)
11:40-11:50 made me bust up
pure comedy XD
it's starting to rain I hope we make it....
we didn't make it
XD
+Tony Gomez Ha, thanks Tony!
Awesome vlog, Mark! My wife and I have been waiting for your videos in the Philippines, and we are so happy you finally uploaded them! We thought we'd never see one, as your camera got busted, so imagine our delight when we saw these 2 Manila videos! =) Hopefully there will be a third, but we are happy with these just the same. =)
Glad to see you had a grand time! The food looks amazing, we are so jealous! =)
More power to you and Ying! You guys rock! =)
Fantastic Mark! Love your incredible review for many years,always.
+Patrick Kim Thank you Patrick
You know you've been in Vietnam too long when you use a fork to push salad on a spoon. :)
+Chuck yu Farley I actually meant Thailand and it was just a joke. Calm down. it's all good.
No worries. Have an awesome life.
The taste of the food will not change because of the spoon,LOL.
+Bobby B In the philippines we also use the fork to push all of our food onto a spoon to eat. Cheers to the region!
+Bobby B Haha, yes, I don't ever think about it, I feel so much more comfortable with spoon and fork.
nice you deserve it Mark and wifey
+herman munster Thank you Herman
This was truly wonderful as usual Mark! Love you guys!
