heard about this place Hong Kong master cook and it's still packed with people this is the first time I've ever brought seafood into a restaurant before this place is packed so I think you bring the seafood to this counter here and then I get I guess some sort of cooking magic happens I want whatever that is yeah that looks crazy that looks like it's filled with chilies right there you just wait

yolk out here [Music] [Applause] this has been one of the greatest seafood meals I've ever had this day in general has been incredible I go to the seafood market he just randomly we need three awesome guys that invites me back home for dinner which was absolutely spectacular and I end up making three awesome friends come here grabbed a bunch of different seafood this restaurant cooked it up one of the freshest tastiest seafood pieces I've ever partaken in so if you are ever in Manila I highly highly recommend coming here and doing what I just did also guys I just want to note that what I did today meeting just like three random strangers if you're going back for dinner at their place that's not something I recommend you guys do all as you feel 100% safe and comfortable I mean that's especially something you shouldn't do if you're traveling alone but for us we ended up talking to these gentlemen we felt pretty good about them we took some precautions and pleasures three of us so we felt pretty comfortable going with them and that ended up being a fantastic experience but by no means uh don't don't do what we did make sure you engage every single situation for yourself and if you do decide to go hang out with some locals we're with some new friends like I said make sure you're 100% comfortable with the entire situation with that said I just want to give another shout out to my new friends Ali Mohammed and Ramon's you guys are just the most friendly most awesome most hospitable gentleman I have met on the strip and thank you so much for having us over and sharing a meal with us that was by far some of the best rice and salmon I've ever had and as always guys I put the information for this location in my description box below thank you all so much for watching
