INSANE $5 Filipino Street Food at Legazpi Market (Manila) 🇵🇭

good morning guys from another beautiful day here in downtown Manila indeed I'm still in the commercial District where I've been staying and on this bright and Breezy Sunday morning the only downside of being here is that most places are closed given that it's the weekend and of course the office workers are not around anyways I have it on good authority that in order to find a banging breakfast there is in fact another really popular market around here having tried saledo last weekend I've heard in the comments that you guys said I should try out another Market here on a Sunday good morning brother good morning good morning okay let's head in and check out the market it looks incredible I had such a good time revisiting saledo last weekend safe for the GoPro incident where it crashed that I thought we should definitely come back I'm always up for another Food Market good morning brother morning oh you have the Tahoe yeah ah I had this last weekend it's now my new favorite dessert

Japanese beef oh my goodness and we also use only extra virgin olive oil oh my goodness you like it the cuisine here is incredible I didn't know until I visited Salo on here just how good the food the Gastronomy was in the region can I have one portion please of the beef adobo that is absolutely incredible this one looks quite unique as well you said that it's with is it coconut coconut oil coconut mil okay is that Buco or Panda I always get mixed up Buco is coconut Buco okay so the tuna loin Bell tuna belly okay tuna belly with Buco the coconut milk you can see that it makes it a little bit creamy oh man that is Heavenly Heavenly is the word if you think that Tha green curry that you might have seen at home and you might be familiar with is like the one you haven't tried this that is the greatest like creamy I've had laxer and stuff around the world as well I know it's a different kind of dish yeah yeah but my goodness anything like a curry with the creaminess is absolutely insane what is the difference between adobo and adobado it's your uh your company name or a slightly different version Theo came from the Spanish word adobar okay so in our in the Philippines we have an adobados that came from ad Adar it's the same cooking process yeah awesome I like it so I will stop referring to it as adobo and from now on it is adobado I'm down I'm down with the Filipinas I'm down with them awesome can I eat this now could you open for me please sure I'll see whether we can find a spot and we'll settle down and do the taste test of the best adobado not adobo okay let's find someone maybe on the end we'll join these friendly people perhaps hey guys can I join you my dear what is your name uh Sakara Sakara what a beautiful name okay you just call me star you can call me star star oh okay well I found my North Star and I've also found something from Heaven here A Little Piece of Heaven in the beef adab let's give this a second shot with this nice big chunk of Juicy beef dripping in that wag you fat when other person is calling I don't know just the beef is really tender it's close to what I tried in saledo last weekend this of course is a slightly different cup so the meat is cooked for a little bit longer I'm not sure what this is maybe it's like a little slice of garlic or something like that you can see one there it go so soft roasted garlic here taking medicine medic it's almost like a pure girls do you mind just kidding waffling out about medicine in the background of my adobo review just one minute I'm kidding no I'm joking I'm joking it's all right I'm being rude anyways I've got a bell going off somewhere there got a conversation about medicine what's a man got to do to enjoy his out a around here let me introduce you to the girls lovely girls that have people from here is thinking medicine uh majority is this what you guys are studing I'm just look bringing up the you look like models not medicine students a all right back to the adab we go before I make more of a fool of myself honestly delicious we've got a score to settle just off camera at the end and we say oh yeah how do you like it lots of flavor said yeah it's beautiful it's delicious and she said oh yeah our food has more flavor right and I thought they were referring to maybe another part of Asia or something like that and you went yeah ready your fish and chips wow Zing I went yeah and then come here to your fish and chips you wait I will bring you to leads I'll bring you to the north the proper fish and chips proper with beef dripping this kind of stuff we'll see then we'll see English we'll see oh yeah yeah yeah yeah okay back pedaling now see you later see you all right guys thank you for uh mocking me I don't know disrespecting my culture my food my proud Heritage Britain we remember this Filipinos we remember this I'm kidding all right guys enjoy the rest of your day I'm going to find a little bin for this thank you and yeah let's move on down the market that's been absolutely awesome all right guys I absolutely love the setup here with all the seating they've got the signs encouraging you to just sit together no hogging tables like we often see in the west and in markets hey brother how are you all right everybody's so friendly here it's good vibes but I'm thinking we should maybe pick up something refreshing the Tahoe is quite sweet not surprisingly with all of that caramel so what do we have here let's try this maybe what is this Dand Dan yes it's a orange ah Filipino orange I haven't seen this before apparently it has all of these health benefits as well anti-inflammatory properties I could do with it still for this it's going down slowly how much for one cup uh the small cup just the small one it's 60 okay I'll take one please thank you awesome so we're going to try the Filipino orange Dal andal iced tea you can see the other flavors that they have I've had pandam before lemongrass is cool I would have had that maybe otherwise but this is more focused on blood pressure and it's antiseptic so maybe I should rub it on my face but there we go oh this looks good oh I don't need a lid it's okay thank you I will take you like this and save a little plastic and you said it was 60 yes okay right let's give this a little first Sip and then we'll get the uh the payments sorted so D and Dan iced tea packed with health benefits and you will soon see my bump disappear and my brow line return once more oh yes refreshing very refreshing I can see why this is a bestseller it's delicious now I know why why that's the case and the anti-inflammatory properties all natural should do me a world of Wonder the iced tea here I would highly recommend look what I've Just Seen over there if it isn't legs chicken and a in a Sal that I otherwise tried in saledo last weekend before the famous GoPro incident so I'll pay for this and we'll get ourselves over there and probably wait about 20 minutes in some barbecue smoke to uh get a nice chicken skewer again but I really want to share with you so let's pay for this old legs chicken in a here she is it's the same lady from last weekend she's traveling around the markets can I have one chicken in a South pet show please okay so 10 minutes and we will have the most delicious barbecue chicken since cedo weekend market last Saturday this time GoPro I believe in you hang on hang on just one shot of chicken and assar I've gone with the Petro which is breast alternatively you can have the leg some people like the bones I'm not as Keen but it's 140 and you can even have it with rice and things and then yeah there's the other pork options which you can see just through the glass there that's the other huge pork skewer that I had last weekend this one is the Pickled papaya pickled papaya delicious thank you so much ladies all right let's go and give this a try they've given it to me open this time so I don't have to fap around unwrapping it and it looks so good they've even given me a little tray with the I think it's soy sauce possibly mixed with vinegar like calaman that's a little lime and also the chili oh man that is still the best barbecue chicken that I've had anywhere in the world I don't know how they keep it so succulent it has delicious natural oil around it natural fats man let's give it a dip in the sauce so I've got some of the marinade now or some of the dipping sauce should say with it oh it just gives it this little tanginess in addition to that rich Smoky Barbecue flavor and the succulents and the oil man that is with without doubt some of my favorite food that I found on my travels and I'm glad this time around that the GoPro has held up fingers crossed let's try some of the papaya now I thought at first it was like onion maybe or possibly Ginger but the flavor is definitely neither of those and that explains why it's kind of like pickle Sweet let's try some of the chicken again now after that M finger looking good there's a certain establishment would say if ever you are in need of a protein fix this is exactly where to head my goodness you've got to check this out I had it over at legs Chicken in aile joint they also do the amazing parts skewers there and the fish which I've yet to try so maybe I'll give that a go another time but yeah terms of the chicken in AOL it's a long way from mangs that's for sure the chain here 10 out of 10 as good as it gets better bing bada [Music] boom all right we've just taken a quick pit stop to wash the old hands after that delicious inner Sal you got all the chicken o and grease on but it was just here in the park I've just discovered this most amazing beautiful place I thought I'd show you around you've got all of these Palms The Greenery and then something through here that I believe was labeled like a meditation Garden or something so why not bring a GoPro in and start vlogging no let me share this with you look how peaceful it is amidst the bamboo this is so nice obviously you've got the market where we've just been through there the hustle and the bustle but just look by contrast somebody to chill out on a Sunday got the gravel you can hear the sound of the bamboo rustling in the wind just shrouding the high rises as well given that we're in this downtown district so nice so yeah there's something for everyone here on a Sunday you can come and get some incredible food maybe you've taken a jog before or afterwards to burn it off and yeah just come take a seat like this and admire the meditation Garden how lovely all right anyways we did not come to the Sunday market for meditation say no no no no no we did not did we we came to try more food high five high five enjoy your rocks you got some for me for me you give me one this one the big one a he gave me his biggest rock I can't take the biggest one from you how about I Tred this small one I can say this one yeah can I say that one oh thank you that's amazing I will keep it in my pocket and take it with me but there we go look oh you want it back okay see you later all right guys I'm going to get some more food thank you all right let's get back through to the market and see what else awaits us time is getting on it's only open for another 30 minutes or so so it might well be last orders see what else we can find in there ah look at this hello ladies this is paa paa Negra paa Negra look at that it's black how do you make it black squiding squiding okay amazing how much is uh one small 35% okay it does have a unique flavor it isn't just a gimmick I wondered if it was just the colorin from the squid ink but it does have a different flavor H it's nice and Smoky and the garlic Mayo I guess ioli is uh yeah is Mu now that's going Portuguese I think it's very good it's very good anyways thank you for letting me try yes I put it in here thank you much Gusto I believe the say okay really good but 350 big notes for paa you did not come to Philippines to see me eat namashkar K wow look at this you got some sag nice Curry I recognize the vegetable as well this pan oh it's beautiful are you from Philippines or India um I am Indian but I was born and raised here my name is Rema Rema nice to oh yeah just uh small so generous thank you here you go thank you very much I have a lot of Indian subscribers and I know you guys guys will love seeing me try this from rema's Kitchen let's give this a little try here wow that is so good you can tell that is home cooked it's cooked honestly I love it Rema thank you you so much the flavors are great it's actually Serv cold this one I'm sure you could have it heated up H yeah so good she give me a really she's been generous of the amount she's give me but that's true of Indian Hospitality right people really look after you there I'll finish this up and maybe do one more pass we haven't been down this side of the food markets and see whether we can find something that I haven't yet had around the world this is increasingly becoming the challenge now being so well traveled I've seen this black gulan juice which I don't think I've ever had so I'm going to try a little sample thank you dear oh my goodness that is incredibly sweet it's almost like medicine okay darling thank you for the sample but could I have one buuk juice please ah kichi this is Japanese beef or is it jaese like Japanese like if it's anything like the adado that I had over there which is in apparently wag you fat this will be incredible you can see how it's been barbecued here on the co just a little bit of salt in the looks of things not even pepper wow beautiful so does pepper draw the moisture out or salt right s Seasons but and cuz the flavor of the beef I mean you'll know what what I'm trying to say I don't know brother I'm an idiot with a GoPro tast okay okay you'll see what I mean once you taste it that's what I'm and I guess it only takes like a few seconds right yeah I should try this one first yes okay let's go for this it's probably bad in uh Japanese culture to use hands so we're no longer in India let's try this just look at that you can still see the little grains of salt on top youve got just a little bit of color and there you go you've got all of that barbecue flavor as well imparted onto what is already arguably the best beef in the world oh wow that is incredible s right wow now you know what I mean now I know yeah you're right the flavor is unique you do at the back end have the smokiness of the barbecue but yeah it's unlike anything else I Now understand why the beef that I had over there if it's infused with the fat or the oil had such a good flavor it is coming from the Waggy from the fat in there that delicious and is is this the this is a different the roast that's your Ro a brisket so it's a puer cut so we had to slow cook it oh wow well this is Super T as well it is yeah Okay so we've had the wag you and now for the traditional more traditional kind of brisket the roast beef that I might be familiar with maybe close to what I would know as sirine in my roast dinners you know what as much as I see what all the fuss is about with wagy for me as an Englishman maybe I'm missing home yeah that brisket has so much flavor and it's maybe a bit closer to what I know or recognize from my childhood right T typical sir liner Ro Japanese cuis it's very simple but like they bring out all the flavor amazing well look thank you so much for letting me try I won't be greedy and eat everything but yeah nice to meet you brother there's an Englishman so much finished with the and your name Brother Martin Martin yeah you are James nice to meet you okay whenever you are in mayila especially on Sundays you need to come and find my brother do you have a store through the week elsewhere in Manila on Fridays we'll do the maganis market it's close by but I'm not sure you're familiar with melan not F and mellan right different different M melas okay Village they're going to do a similar thing I guess so amazing so that's on a Friday night Friday night okay so look if it's Friday night head there if it's Sunday morning come here absolutely incredible thank you brother thank you and you must try the wagy beef and the delicious brisket that they've done honestly don't be fooled by the grill and the word wagu that in its own right is absolutely exceptional cheers guys man I had no idea how good this place is going to be it's been absolutely incredible I think even better than saledo but as you can see now the Indonesian stand hello hi I think things are beginning to wind out I will be there in a week I'll be in Indonesia so I'm not quite going to have the Indonesian food just yet I think that we can hold off and wait for that so yeah with people beginning to clear down I think it's time for last orders and I maybe fancy something sweet I've had a lot of meat and things so far and yeah maybe there is room for something just over here what we got here we got Filipino ice cream yes I have the best and Filipino ice cream the best Filipino ice cream in town and I heard somebody say this is dirty ice cream that's what it's called because it's sold in the streets this is delicious because it's not too sweet the other the other venders you'll notice that it's all sugar this one no this has really it has cheese it has jack fruit Lanai jack fruit and so his flavors are are um which one do you recommend I try maybe jack fruit is unusual for me yeah let's try jack fruit that look so lovely you've got little bits in there from lots of things and almost like a custard yellow color oh that is so good now I understand y try the for sure cheese ice it is so creamy and satisfying like the best gelata you'll find anywhere in Italy but this is Filipino dirty ice cream and like the lady said it's not literally dirty nor filthy in the mind it's simply because it is local Street ice cream rather than yeah what you see in the malls and supermarkets in as such it has flavor delicious flavor not overpowered but it's simply being overly sweet and that is great it is so typical of the Filipino foods that I found around the market I tell you what I've tried this one let's try all three so we got cheese and chocolate how much for this one 70 thank you very much all right so thank you Ian the cheese and the chocolate so we've got the cheese one in the middle and the chocolate on top absolutely delicious man so good guys thank you so much it is the best ice cream in the Philippines that I tried for sure thank you guys enjoy the rest of your Sunday and it's clean ice cream it is despite ironically being known as dirty the irony thank you guys take care all right I think it's about time to wrap things up have a little stroll and explore more of this park on the way through it's so peaceful just there as I enjoy my ice cream have a Sunday market stroll life is good so you've got everything from the meditation Garden to the bridges water features to the bonsai trees and the Palms what a lovely place to come and hang out on a Sunday with an ice cream too so great suggestion by you guys to come and
