Binondo CHINATOWN Street Food & LARGEST Market (Quiapo) in Manila Philippines Local Food Tour

[Music] [Music] it's pretty easy getting used to waking up to this every single morning fortunately leaving the hotel today but before I do I want to hit up a local street market it's essentially located market what are the biggest in Manila I can't believe haven't been there yet but hitting there right now but before them a little too hungry to just wait through the traffic I'm gonna you one of these little moon cakes that was given to me yesterday and this little trick is actually works it's all like together and stuff you guys never had these kind of moon cakes before they're called snow skin mooncake so the skin is actually made with rice Oh ma'am my skin is mochi ice and inside you can see the egg yolk and Lola's filling moon cakes are things that Chinese people typically only eat once a year but they are so good and they're so bad for you know so young [Music] [Music] here we are right now I'm at Capitol Plaza right behind me is the famous minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene this right here is the largest market in the Philippines we're pretty much gonna find anything you really want there's clothes house where bags crews produce [Music] hmm oh great I love boiled peanuts we have a lot of these in China really really really good a little bit softer still retain a nice crunch these are awesome that market it's really good if you want to go grab a cheap you like tronic or some groceries we're seafood it's really not good for like actual street food items it's not that much but right here here it's a really good place for pen set and I'm gonna move for noodles so let's get over there we'll see if there's any is true for the long the way down this guy's serving fresh fried calamari any saw on the road for this you just come and serve yourself you grab a skewer and one pieces of three pesos you dip it in the sauce lo of vinegar and onions oh my look house I'm fresh calamari super snappy and my batter is great you put a little spices on the calamari too so it's got a slight bit of heat so he dip it in that sauce the batter soaks up some a nice vinegar don't retain some nice crunch this is he saw chicken intestine I've been dipping in the wrong sauce spicy sauce is so much better if you don't like it there's no good dish good - calamari but I love this [Music] okay yeah I add a little salt there we go when it comes to topical first we've got to try them at this country [Music] it's a really short walk from the market sippin Ando the oldest Chinatown in the world and I was here last time explore it a little bit but it's still maths and I came back because I missed out on this place last time Raymond leaves fried chicken and pen set I suppose they add some amazing noodles I got a couple of things the Mickey bihaan in the fried chicken making behinds the type of noodle dish is basically a combination of two different types of noodles me he is an egg noodle and B Han is a rice noodle and they told me that's the best noodle dish here two types of noodles Mickey and be home and this thing has basically all the major meat groups got some chickens some pork some chicken liver calamari all stir-fried together and also I got a half of fried chicken this thing not better at all super crispy on the outside and with the punch set squeeze some calamari on here oh I've been waiting for this he's a little more common munching a little bit more citrus but oh my god are so delicious two types of noodles provides two distinct type of textures but thicker needle the Mickey a bit more to the behold Oh soaks up all that nice flavor but it's not like this particular noodle dish has any very distinct flavor it's just a very solid comforting dish and that hot oil here [Music] roll simple and rush sick about this dish I mean all the ingredients they stick together and even though they have their own distinctive textures they just work together to provide this like really yummy flavor and a comforting feeling some right mmm this is a good combo crispy skin - she knew this is so typical of a home-cooked meal because it looks like it's just a couple different types of noodles and whatever was left of mom or grandma's fridge just toss to get on a walk and served to you pipe in the pot and although it's not the prettiest dish all you taste is still love that was just a perfect breakfast noodle I need it now I think I'm pregnant with a food baby I gotta go back to our checkout and check into a new hotel [Music] good morning last full day here in Manila I'm gonna go meet up with some friends and are gonna go on a local food tour can't believe this trip is almost over but one last good food day today I'm basically we're going with like the entire clue team in a local food tour guide this is mark by the way so our first stop is Fernando Chinatown I was just there going back okay anyhow everyone hungry so welcome to Oakland in the box well Pia it's a really good spring roll sort of so this movie is about eighty percent vegetable tofu with vinegar that's great you got way different textures now and also sweet sour spicy a nice crunch of the peanuts nice crunch of the veggies and the wrap is really really tender as well I love the extra garlic this is a probably healthiest burrito you may ever eat that's really picked I'm that's what I'm most popular just to try in China hear me know I had that last time but this one I feel like it's a little better than what I was here the first time I was in the Philippines in we're getting different dishes than the last time I had so this is called hey Manu hey it's shrimp ma it's pork belly and then I usually put a dollop of satay but it's separate and then you mix it out Louis I'll tell ya it's a bit spicy the supersoul you need it's very light but Matano will mommy flavor I feel like with a tiny bit of vinegar and a tiny bit of spice and might it be even better oh yes life-changing with a black vinegar rich broth and black vinegar is this this is deep fried tofu with sweet soy sauce most Oh mommy shower ever and it looks like what does that nuts on top cilantro cucumbers spice chili sauce I always dream of showering something with soy sauce because if you want to delicious shower it's got to include soy sauce bright and tender inside look at that [Music] run of applause for the fried tofu the length of its bright crisp outside what you did on top of this with a cilantro and the crunchy cucumbers and the little nuts that's texture perfection little sweet little sour little spicy tons of umami everywhere that is a great dish I want to try this now so it's placed braised pork with sour a salty fish sauce okay this is one of those dishes that completely transforms the white rice from something like that's simply elegant to simply scrumptious just the rice itself have you even touched a pork with the tofu yet it's just that rice and some of the most delicious sauce she brings of God I'll be happy to come here did a big bowl rice that this dish and that dish and that's it and I'll be very very happy because the rice which is already transformed this is like rice Pokemon elevating up this is like a little Bulbasaur turning into a Venice or yeah I think lunch here like if I was coming here like I said I just get a big bowl rice because some of these really saucy dishes and I would feel really good for us in today one thing this is a pork ground pork with tofu and chives [Music] hmm it's like a crusty flaky dumpling the second bite is better than the first bite there's the first bite yeah first bite I'd love crust and the crust is good because it's very flaky but then I got the juice and dad shoes when that washes over your taste buds feeling real good [Music] yeah this thing just strictly into your soul this thing without black of will be I think really really thick it's flavorful but it'd be a little harder to eat when the broth is so rich and robust this does remind me of the shrimp warming I had in Singapore it's one of those dishes that you just like you've won taste like oh god that's good this is one of those things and you're putting rice wine into the bowl noodles yeah usually it's boiled with the broth so it evaporates but you're adding it afterwards interesting okay [Music] all right I gotta tell ya she has no taste pork wrapped in tofu and deep-fried oh that's crispy on the outside to dip it in a little bit of chili sauce oh that's got nice crispy tofu skin on the outside juicy pork nice roasted flavor I'm gonna call this dish Redemption from these grandma noodles ah don't base raise y'all northeast dumplings that's a familiar sight like there's a lot of northeast dumpling places in New York [Music] oh look at the way she's chopping it it's like making it look like almost like a chain like make it look like almost a spine shaped [Music] the skin is really really thin on these dumplings look how juicy they are you can see right through the skin it's almost like I'm Superman I got x-ray vision I can see inside yeah sitting inside this is gonna be a very juicy very meaty dumpling cannon part the most common in to me second most delicious ingredient inside a Chinese dumpling exactly what I thought skin melts away not a factor barely keeping it on nice and meaty really great high flavor and the pork filling is super satisfying the more you chew the more fragrant pork flavor releases whatever they did to season the pork filling inside the dumpling amazing job my favorite dumplings are the ones that really thin skin you know the ones that like give a public speech and blushes right away in the first five seconds that's how thin I want the dumpling skin to be the amount of juice the filling ratio is perfect that's what I call an iceberg dumpling 90 percent of the flavor and substance all hidden all hidden that's how you put in your mouth the reason I love going around to different Chinatown system across the world is that I love Chinese food and it's just amazing to see how like something that I love transforms in fuses and really kind of like morphs itself into something deliciously unique with the local culture I mean Chinese food in the Philippines way different than Chinese food and Malaysia way different than Chinese food in India and Chinese food and Mexico it's all different but it's all great is so amazingly unique it's just like trying different McDonald's around the world it's so interesting to see hi I'm ooh last stop where we are so we're now at this Facebook angle in which is the biggest at the brushes copier store here in Chinatown and happy as the mooncake mon-monday yeah oh my God look at all the different flavors of Moo cake chocolate banana durian this one it's a custard with coconut this is so creamy coconut e and gummy the skin is so thin this thing is like all filling you don't taste much of the outside crust at all like the dumpling guy just had this thing's all substance what a fantastic dessert and that's it for my tour with Ivan I love it thank you so much for showing me all these places maybe you guys want to take this tour it's called the Bonanno food walk like the walk and you can find that on now quote it's one of the recommended tours on clothes right yeah he's great guy he knows it's for the food tour continues we're at the area of Manila called hopeless shock it's supposed to be a really hip happening part of Manila they were growing up with this chocolate crore involves no dessert savory dishes only ready to go first stop green mango with shrimp paste and dark chocolate local dark chocolate nice shower well the dip is better than just a pure shrimp dip little chaga tea does make a nice difference like a little bitter huge cocoa flavor the aromas wonderful what iced tea with chocolate rim very nice I think every drink should just come with a chocolate rim top one complete we are on to location number two on the chocolate cloth this is what the Fat Lady's day out to court group or another Tory can find on the clue cap a pork belly sitting on a pizza toast with cocoa nib on top so that's made with cacao and on top of the pork belly there's bacon this thing has been braised for over 13 hours perfect little piece of butter toast on the bottom there's crazier pop value this sandwich between two layers of lunch crunch from the cacao nib you definitely taste a slight bitterness from that aromatic chocolate flavor and I love how they double bacon this sucker right one piece of pork belly that big that's not enough crispy bacon on top I like how they think the chocolate adventure continues braised rip finger beef covered and cheese and onions splash calamansi juice on top of that oh this is everything I like on a skewer smoked beef a little crunch from the peanuts chilies that coconut flavor is present and on top of all that slight bitterness and aroma from the chocolate the more you chew the more the flavor comes out like all the flavor there so far love this last there's a messy chili dog I don't think I've ever had hot dog and chocolate anywhere in the same proximity before until now I absolutely adore dish this is really the perfect sweet and savory finish to the staff if you ever question if chocolate and hot dogs go well together the answer is definitively yes there's a chili dog so instead of like a tomato-based chili it's a chocolate bass chili that my similarly where to you don't knock it till you try it it's really fun getting to explore like different ways that cacao is used in all the different dishes in how versatile it could be and how delicious it can make something that you never think will be good with chocolate in there well that is a pretty fun exciting food day tons of food tours got to see Chinatown again crazy delicious chocolate food tour that's a great last food day here in Manila of course this has always been one of my favorite countries to come to the people are amazing the food's delicious I can't wait to come back also guys if you like watching these videos please hit that little bell so you get notification whenever I upload I would really
