You are my new favorite couple vlogger. We have a lot of white/westerner vloggers going around the Philippines right now so it’s really refreshing to see Asians this time. It’s interesting to hear the Asian perspective.
Thank you so much, Vic! Hope you'll enjoy the rest of our Philippines adventures :)
Thank you so much both of you for exploring our country Philippines,,just enjoy staying here ,,.💗💗💗💗
They're Canadian. XD Like Kyle.
In terms of desserts, there is a saying in the Philippines, "Rice is Life" mainly because we eat everything with rice, also the reason why most of the food is flavorful. We love rice so much, it is reflected even in our desserts. A lot of true Filipino desserts are made from glutinous rice. Keep an eye for Sapin-Sapin, Ginataang Bilo Bilo, Biko, Carioca, Puto, Kutsinta, Suman, Pichi-Pichi, Puto Bumbong, Bibingka, and many more. And those are just the desserts made from rice. There are a lot more non-rice desserts to explore.
Yey! A 2nd episode here in the Philippines. I was smiling the whole time watching. I am 41yrs old living my whole life in the 🇵🇭, been to thailand (bkk & phuket) and hanoi, vietnam, but, when I go to Binondo Chinatown i still feel as if I am a tourist in my own country.
I know you have been eating a lot of Thai food from your vlogs, be amazed by the varities of food here in the Philippines.
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Joy! We're glad our videos bring a smile to your face :) We do find there's a lot of variety of cuisines here but all taste very authentic. Filipinos sure can cook!
Philippines is a diversified county so expect so much diversities from food, nature beauties, cultures, talents and maybe everything. It's so much fun in the Philippines.
We wish we could eat more! That big plate of cha bihon might not have been the best idea haha but it was delicious 😆👍
Just finished watching your first vlog here in the Philippines. Now, im here for the 2nd. Looking forward for more videos in the future ❤️💯🤗 Welcome!
Filipinos , let's support this beautiful couple. let's give them a 100K subscribers
I appreciate how tou highlight the culture, cuisine and tradition of the Philippines. Love you both.🇵🇭❤❤❤
Thank you so much Sherwin 💕
@@FloraandNote please try spiral buffet at sofitel Hotel manila.
Im so very great and proud how All Foreigners adopt the Filipino Cultures and Appreciate all the good foods,People and Happiness what Philippines and Filipinos Have 😊
Welcome again and again Have fun and enjoy guys 😊
#itsmorefuninthephilippines
🇵🇭💙💙
The tofu drink you were tryna find is called “Taho”. When u find it on the streets, it’s typically the original warm variant. But at times, you’ll find “Chilled Taho” in malls or in restos probably cos they have longer shelf life than those on the streets. For halo halo, u can go to Max’s, Kuya J, Razon’s or even Mang Inasal. Or just go on a buffet like the spiral buffet at sofitel to have a wide variety of selections for food as well.
Yes, we were trying to find Taho! We did end up trying it at the mall. Very light and delicious :)
@@FloraandNote Razon the best halu halo. That can be found in Robinsons mall or SM mall
When I went to Bangkok I also "felt the Thai culture". And it was so rich.
pls upload twice a week HUHUHUHU I SUPER LOVE YOUR VLOGS GUYSSSSS
LONGER ALSO PLSS HEHEHHEHEHEHEHEH
I can't believe I've never been to the Manila Chinatown in all the decades I've been going there!
Great vlog, guys!
What, no way! I guess you'll have to visit again sometime :)
My goodness! I am a Filipino living in the Philippines 🇵🇭 but I haven’t been to Manila Chinatown! And because of u guys, I will definitely try these foods! 😋 yum!
We're glad to hear that! Make sure to go there hungry 😆
Nang chacharot ka na naman.
@@gambitgambino1560 haha😆
@@gambitgambino1560 @rex lozada who u? Do i know u? Minsan try mo din wag maging kups basta lang makaepal ka at mambwisit ng tao! Mas maganda yon kesa ganyan ka na akala mo kilalang kilala mo ang tao! Philippines is an archipelago and we have 7461 islands. Do u know where exactly I am to tell that I was actually joking if I’ve been there or not! Try to live ur life with a clean slate! Cguro kamaganak mo ung tricycle dun s first vid nila to the PH! Ahaha no wonder ganyan ugali mo!
@@abiguloc6459 ay naku ate di kita papatulan
Don't be shy to ask the locals for suggestions because I would love to see you interacting with the Filipinos. Good job!
I am surprised you guys haven't reached 100k subs yet. You guys are so nice. Totally deserving!
We’re working towards it! 💪🏼😆💕
WOW!! Loved the China Town food tour so many delicious dish choices. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏👍😍
Amazing street food 😋😋 Good sharing !
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed this one :)
awesome video! first time seeing some of the restaurants you featured. love your energy 💗
Wow!! So much beautiful food 😍 great video guys!
Just subscribed. Doing a marathon of your vlogs and loving it!
The best china town food tour this year, very well presented.. Also always remember guys when in the Philippines the best condiments is soy sauce and calamansi, that's why there's a chili oil on your table its the final touch for making spicy toyomansi.. Just ask the server for calamansi.. Also appreciate Note being honest about his perception towards Filipino foods, Filipinos love their adobos, lechon and sisig so much that they forgot their other dishes 😂. Glad you like the avocado shake, actually there's another simple way to prepare the avocado dessert it actually trended on tiktok recently 🤭🤭🤭
PS My first time to see a Filipino Chinese to be that so friendly.. Wow 🤭
Thank you Elio, we appreciate your kind comment 💕 We'll have to ask someone to show us how to make that delicious toyomansi you mentioned.
Lol the crossing the street part was funny. This is a good tour. I wished you had gone to more restaurants but I guess you ran out of time. There's a cafe there called Grand 1919 where you could have had dessert but it's a bit outside the Chinatown arc that's why you didn't see it. But then you'd have to do the death walk trap again haha.
Thanks so much! Aww we were disappointed we couldn't find a dessert place. We did ask around and two locals told us to go to Starbucks for cake... 🙄 not exactly what we were looking for haha. But I did enjoy the Portuguese egg tart 😜
Enjoying your vlogs. Keep em coming!!
Thank you. More to come 😊
you two are now my fave travel vloggers in the Philippines. Enjoy!!!
Love the video Flora & Note! You two were brave to explore for us and thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊🙏
appreciate the relaxed and positive approach. welcome to the Philippines.
New subscriber here, awesome videos guys. Looking forward for more videos of Phil. Rock on.
The Philippine food is a fusion of Malay, chinese, Indian, Japanese, Spanish, Mexican and American cuisines
Looks like an area you could spend endless time wandering and eating 😀 🥘 😋 thanks for taking us along 👌👍🙏
always a fun video from you two:) and the food looked amazing...i am jealous! Hope you have a great week:)
Thanks Matthew!
ATLAST the long wait is over. already done watching your new vlog❣️🥰 hope for more uploads to watch for ❤️
Can't wait for your next episode. Hopefully you'll have a local friend to walk around with you and experience the authentic pinoy food and culture.
I agree with you. It's a good idea to visit a city @ first time. Street food tour guy wanted 😂
This food looks incredible!! That’s a massive piece of chicken but those dumplings look delicious! Loved coming on this food tour with y’all!
Hiya Flora and Note, always good vibes when you drop a new video. *Congratulations. 47K. Well deserved* Always great to see the street foods. Probably the wrong time to watch. I am so hungry now. Lol. I used to love those egg tarts. But I can no longer eat eggs. Great video. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend. Liked and Shared as always.
Love the vibe. Hope you guys stay long.
Filipinos also love our dipping sauces, we either use a spiced vinegar or a mixture of soy sauce, crushed chilies and calamansi extract which is a small citrus fruit. If you don’t know how to make the dipping sauces, just ask the servers how to make it.
If you ever try Kare-Kare don't forget to use the shrimp paste/bagoong that comes with it, they usually serve it on a soy dish... it's quite salty so be careful with the amount.
You need to ask the restaurant to show you the proper dipping sauce concoctions. Usually involves calamansi (citrus agent), soy sauce (toyo) or fish sauce (patis), and spicy agent.
Makes a huge difference. Kare-kare goes with a shrimp paste if you encounter it in your adventures. 😊 enjoy
Im excited to see more of your vids travelling all across the Philippine Archipelago..
It seems that you are enjoying the Philippines, and that discovering the food culture! It is not as well known compared to our Asian neighbours, but I’m really happy that you even said that you didn’t know what to expect.
A few pointers:
1. Street food in the Philippines is not like Thailand where it’s pretty much all good; it’s hit or miss! I would also try some mid-level or upscale restaurants!
2. If you want to get a real taste of what we eat, home cooking is the best - if you make some local friends, sometimes they’ll invite you to a home dinner!
3. Lots of fried chicken, eh? When we eat out, we eat “fiesta” food, which is meat heavy. Try to order some of these vegetable dishes:
- Ginataang Sitaw at Kalabasa
- Adobong Langka
- Adobong Kangkong
- Lumpiang Sariwa
- Lumpiang Hubad
- Pinakbet
- Laing
- Ensaladang Talong
Also, lots of times, vegetables figure prominently in soups like sinigang, bulalo, and tinola.
I hope this helps!! Happy eating!
This is super helpful! Thank you so much 🙏💕

Great food tour, the steamed dumplings look amazing. Never heard of an avocado shake before, would love to try it.
This brings back memories of the place I grew up. Thank you for this video. You went to the right places and there are more that Manila Chinatown has to offer. Tasty restaurant's pork chop rice is their signature dish. You had the best (fresh lumpia) at Po Heng. Sincerity restaurant is a good place also for their oyster omelette and chicken. Stay safe and happy eating. 👍
You guys are so happy and sincere, no sophistication at all. My type of vlogger. From Cebu City. Welcome to my country.
Thanks for following our journey 🙏🏻💕
Not sure if there are a lot small stores selling halo-halo now because the summer's over, but you can try halo-halo at Mang Inasal or Chowking. The "taho" or silken tofu is mostly available in morning and sold by a walking vendor shouting "taho". Once you hear it be quick to approach the vendor because you might miss it 😄
Always waiting for your new vlogs
Get super exciting the moment you step into Chinatown and i think you need to make few trips to really enjoy those foods.
Looking fwd to some exciting videos about your adventures in Philipines.
We definitely missed a few delicious places because we were too full 😅
Food junkies love this, so we do 😋
Thanks for sharing you two 🙏
And as always, C Ya in the next one pretty soon Note & Flora, cheers 🙌🍻

Thank you for your appreciation to filipino food, it's true that filipino food is flavorful enjoy your stay and keep safe.
That unexpected interaction you had at 5:44 is just awesome, so wholesome and cute uncle
He’s so sweet! He kept making sure they got my order 😊💕
Great Vlog! 🥰🥰🥰
I want to try many foods there but I dont have enough time maybe next time.
I only tried on Wai Ying Restaurant.
Ongpin Mañosa must try too because its one of the Oldest Restaurant there and they didnt change the exterior design of the restaurant to preserve the "Old school" vibes. Someone says since 1967 it never changes

Hello enjoy food trip in China town enjoy your travel in the Philippines god bless stay safe I'm waching from Riyadh Saudi
There are still so many food to discover in Chinatown you have barely scratched the surface of your food crawl. I think you are really having fun keep it up, have an open mind
We agree there's so much more to try in Binondo. Maybe the huge plate of cha bihon wasn't the smartest idea haha but it was certainly delicious 😍
I was suppose to take you here guys.. hahahaha!!! Got another place in mind for us to visit. 🥰
Binondo chinatown is a place where the rich and middles class people hanging out for refreshing and relaxing and enjoyng filipino chinese yummy food 🇵🇭❤️
Pansit should have a Calamansi or Filipino lime or lemon squeeze to balance the saltiness. Eng Bee Ten is the famous snack or dessert from Chinatown. It's hopia and they have flavored ones too.
It's pretty cool you found a Chinese speaker by the Lumpia place
We can't come out to travel. You play, I watch. Love your video. More! more! Note
near the place is Tropical Hut fastfood in Calle Escolta and serves halo halo and currently has a trending revival.
Thank you to promote our Country to the World the New Philippines..your so Lucky that you see the New Manila the New Philippines.. The Richest n Beautiful country n the World.. O mest anymore like before! Welcome n Injoy! Try go to Rizal Park n Intramuros!
Yum yum😃
