Hidden Gems in Manila, Incredible Value: Traditional Lechon, Street Food, and a Crispy Catfish!
Vložit

- Really enjoyed the time in the Philippines and the best way to connect with friends is over a meal or two (or three or four). And that's exactly what I got to do! From the classic inexpensive street food to a traditional Filipino dinner with the great Lechon, Crispy Pata, and the giant crispy catfish, we were stuffed, but always room for dessert.
And that took us to the Filipinos Legendary Bakery for desserts! The classic ensaymada certainly didn't disappoint. Thank you for joining!

@Tim Lee Thanks Tim Lee, love your content on youtube. God bless from Vancouver BC Canada 🇨🇦 🙌😊👍
You just had to come up with this line didn't you?? 😊😊😊😊like
I love how gracious you are with the servers. Those of us who have served appreciate you for this.
Very glad that the servers were gracious with us also!
@@TimLeeLetsGo Just found your channel not long ago and have been binge watching lol fabulous content and really enjoy the polite attitude with everyone u run into and all the scrumptious food. Where is Lois? I hope she is well, she is so sweet and beautiful.
“That’s not tea,that’s vinegar!”😆 Learned my lesson the hard way as well eating in a Vietnamese restaurant. Gave me what looked like the free broth in every meal,it was in a little soup cup so without checking,took a sip..lo and behold,it was the fish sauce!😂
Great to know that we're not alone. Yeah, they served it in the teacup in my case
Hi Tim, you went back to Manila again, wow I'm jealous haven't seen my home country for 5 years now :(
Tim you are not a plain white Manila envelope..you open with such flair and variety..loved this
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂
I have never been to Manila but I love watching you explore the food scene there. Between this video and your others I can see that there's so much to enjoy 😋
Thank you so much again! Always fun to travel 🙂. Hope you're able to make it back to Vegas sometime soon 🙂
I like how u describe the food when u consume u deliver it so good.SALUTE TO YOU
Thank you so much and I think I'm getting better at speaking with my mouth full 😉
Your videos always put a smile on my face. ❣️
Kamusta (Hello in Tagalog) Tim!! What you ate at both Mama V and Milky Way is basically the same amount of food my mom (Michelle) cooks when we go over for dinner!! Filipinos love to eat and Filipino moms love to stuff you. You walk away feeling like a Thanksgiving Day turkey…STUFFED!! We loved watching your experiences trying the amazing foods that the Philippines has to offer at the various buffets and cafes in all your recent videos in the Philippines. My mom (Michelle’s) would love to feed you one day with the volume of food you can eat!! Salamat (thank you in Tagalog) for another great video and bringing us along!! 😊😋👏🏽
Salamat to you both... Yeah, it was a lot of food...and definitely a bit too much and glad to hear you get that experience as well 😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo Hey Coca Cola guy 😁 great video.
Never apologize for eating with your hands. Best way ever
Cheers to you Tim! I always feel like I'm right there with you. You are an amazing person. It's so great that you have friends all over the world! Thank you for sharing your food experiences!
Thank you again Lynn! Really grateful to get to connect with everyone in person and also everyone here virtually 😃
Omg Tim when you drank that vinegar 😵💫 my face screwed up haha. The food looks superb, what a wonderful experience for you. Thanks for sharing
That was a shocking mistake 😉
THE FOOD LOOKED GREAT THANKS
Very good food in the Philippines for sure.. and very reasonably priced
Beyond stunning food trip Manila love it❤
Really enjoyed the time in Manila.. great food and great friends
Love the Manila food, and wonderful company, enjoyed this one.
Quite a lot of food and lots of fun🙂
Oh, so enjoyed this !!!
Thank you for sharing this with us!!!
Really grateful to get to connect with all the friends in the Philippines over a meal 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo
That is wonderful..
Added Bonus
Vegetables are a very rare sight in Filipino food. Meats, sugar, lots of vinegar, and anything deep-fried and cooked to a mush abound.
I did notice a lot of deep fried crispy meats etc
I loved following this video to end. Your friends really showed you a delicious meal. And you really supported the individual’s bringing the food items to the table. I really appreciate this video and I learned about the blood dish and the sponge bread. What a wonderful meal with friends and really awesome service. Thank you for taking us along. Every dish looked amazing.. 😊❤
Really fun to get to explore the different dishes with the friends here. Thank you so much for reaching out
I had a High School Teacher who wants told us you treat and smile the cafeteria workers,janitorial with respect and a smile. Someday the person may be your boss. I'm in my 60,'s and never forget the advice
It’s great to see that you found the hidden gems in Manila. You and your friends had some very good food.
Thanks Min, it was a nice evening getting to eat and connect with the friends. Thank you again🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo You’re welcome
Love Filipino desserts 🙌 Nice selections 😍
A little too much dessert.. but never say no to a nice Street 😃
Yesss

Really enjoyable though it was a lot of food 😃
Tim, oh you are such a Sweet Guy, bet your mom is so proud !!!
Absolutely a great joy to get to connect with everyone. Thank you for your kind comment
Hello Tim glad to watch you again I had 3 strokes in the past 4 months I'm getting better but I'm like I have to see tim sending love from Houston TX
Hi Malisa, thank you so much for taking the time to reach out on your recovery. I really hope you're doing well and I'm very sad to hear about the three strokes! Hope recovery is going well and hope you're staying strong. Best wishes to you and yours 🙂

Hi Tim I really liked this video really great looking food Tina was really nice and showed great hospitality you had a lot of sweets that day and evening hope you weren't hyperactive
At the end of the night my friend 😀😀😀
Thank you again Calvin! It was a great treat to get to spend time with the friends.. over ate a bit, but was more tired than hyperactive afterwards 😉
@TimLee you going international food vlog now. Way to go good sir. Thank yoy again for great video.
It was just great to meet up with some old friends. I had the chance to work in the Philippines a few years back.
@@TimLeeLetsGo that's great. Catching up with old friend always good and fun memories. You are inspiration as the like Mark Wien...and others. But I always watch your videos and big fan. I am foodie myself but I never have courage to do vlog lol 😆 maybe one day ..
Hi Tim, the "tortilla" is actually called Tortang Talong😂 Its traditionally roasted eggplants topped with sauteed meat & dipped in egg then fried
Everything looked so delicious. Try using the spoon to eat Filipino food next time.
Tim, I love how you enjoy each bite! I'm so hungry for Filipino food now. 😋👍👍
Tim, I apologize about using the spoon, I should have watched the entire video first.
Yes, fork and spoon 😃
Cheers🥃💗
🥂
Filipino knife is indeed the spoon. :) Enjoy your stay in the Philippines!
I'm picking up the culture 😉
Ciao Tim 👋 👋
Greetings from Greenwich London ⚓️ ⛵️
Cheers 😋👍🌹✅
A happy daylight savings time to you! We just changed our time today
14:00 - i went to my local international Lotte’ market, in chantilly va, one day and saw the shrimp chips and could not stop eating them.
They are quite addictive..
Those prawn crackers are called Krupuk. Now it is hard to find goods with lots of prawn flavor. Thet seem to be scrimping on the prawns.
New subscriber here. I enjoyed this video and your very happy/friendly/upbeat personality. :>)
Thank you so much and really grateful to get to interact with everyone here
i liked your reaction when you tried the tea (vinegar) it happened to me when we went to China i thought it was tea but its for your hands to wash
LoL thanks Evelyn..by the way, only one more day to go 😃
Hi TIM...New Subscriber Here...Nice Vlog...
Thank you so much for your support. Just really grateful to get to connect with everyone here and also to share these experiences 🙂
The tea tasting was the best part for me😅
I found out that wasn't tea...
Hi Tim
Hi Brian... Two more meetings to go
@@TimLeeLetsGo 🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤❤
Man i wish i could go to Manili
Highly recommend Manila as a travel destination. Very easy to get around and language is not an issue
Hi Tim Lee, I love watching your vlogs . I just wanted to know something about you, where you are from, and other things you can share about you.
Thank you so much for reaching out! I'm from Vancouver Canada. Born and raised here.
Hoping for a good buffe video ral soon :)
Will be in search of great buffets 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo yes i see another channel that has fkrst name strictly he went to france, yes small village in france to visit maybe best buffe in Europe. Only mistake he say he made was not stsy there for 3 days one for could food one for hot and one for dessert 😀 but for now i hope you find really good buffe closer to where you live new one or revisit old good one
you passed on puto bumbong and bibingka. thats authentic filipino you can get!
I know 🤦🏻♂️
@@TimLeeLetsGo well there is always next time. i love your videos. very luscious I would say😄
🥰
😋
Carla that blood is so good! You were gagging on it in a different Video. Lol
LoL blood in stew form turns out to be actually pretty good 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo You’re out here eating at buffets that cost hundreds of dollars. I don’t understand the need to go “third world” eating. Is it just for views? What’s next? Lining up a plate of Balut eggs and duck flippers to replace Peking duck? Certain innards aren’t fine dining and apparently are for shock value. I think better should be expected from you.
TIM- At least you didn’t drink the bowl of lemon water for rinsing your fingers like Mark Wiens did in one of his early videos in Kathmandu❤️🍵
Lol... That bowl of lemon water sounds might be refreshing 😆
Try balut!!!
Ehhh 😬. 😉
How do you not gain weight eating at all these places Tim? I love your videos
You're very kind ... Certainly getting rounder here
Mix the dinuguan over the rice
Good call!
Someone explain to me what the deal with uncle Roger and the fried rice? Everytime Tim takes some fried rice, he mentions it without giving the full story. I have been enjoy watching your videos. I can't believe the amount of fish and sea food you eat.
Really enjoyed the seafood there and in other places I visit.. thank you so much 🙂
7:50
Looks like paksiw
It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor,
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please,
Please won't you be my neighbor?
Spoken*: Hi television neighbor, I'm glad we're together again....
Lol! I always thought Tim had that cadence and tone when he talks!
😉
Truly the Mister Rogers of CZcams Asian vloggers.
How does all the food u eat look better than the last.
They certainly do an amazing job with the meals 😋
@@TimLeeLetsGo I need to remember to eat or be eating while watching ur show
👋👋U’re wearing Coke t-shirt written in Korean…U got it going K-culture ambassador!!🙏👍
Thank you so much! But truth be told, the shirts were on sale at the Coca-Cola store in Vegas😉
LOL, that is an eggplant omelette called (Tortang Talong), it's not a tortilla. By the way, aside from the Spanish name, I'm not sure if it's actually a Spanish influence. Do they have eggplant omelettes in Spain?... That's like saying that (Ceviche) is of Spanish origin because it has a Spanish name, when in reality it's an indigenous pre-colonial Peruvian dish that lost its original name. The same goes for Philippine adobo, the name is Spanish but the dish is indigenous and simply lost its original name.
I knew that about ceviche that it was Peruvian and origin.. I found that out in the streets of Miami at the time out cafe. Funny what one can learn when touring a food stand 🙂
Gotta stop watching you before bed, I get hungry!!! How do you manage to eat all that deliciousness?? If you ever need help.....
Anytime! Always good to have a partner to tackle a buffet with 😋
I would be afraid to be kidnapped. Did you visit the Radisson?
No, unfortunately I didn't. However it's pretty safe there, imo
When do you actually have time to work Tim? Your job is just as good as Bill and Lisa's job?
Definitely very long hours at work.. and very grateful to have this CZcams community to alleviate the stresses of the day today grind.
Tim, out of respect, can you stop saying that you made a mistake where so much food comes out. Someone had to have ordered it. Please just don't treat us like we are ignorant. You studied the menu and placed the order. Thank You.
you look tired lately, hope all is ok.
Work has been incredibly hectic.. the 12 to 16 hour days (and sometimes 20 hours) have certainly been catching up with me.
@@TimLeeLetsGo well, here is my advice… take a day or two to just shut down, turn the cell and cameras off and just rest. try it.
@@gailsfoodandstuff Thank you so much! That sounds like some Sage advice... Work has been 7 days a week lately and just trying to catch a break
Filipino food scares me with all the vinegar...lol. I'll pass
You do need a bit of acid to cut all the fat 😉
You gotta eat using the spoon please…..😮
Agreed.. fork and spoon 🙂
Enjoy Manila Tim from chilly Vancouver 😄
Blood yuk!!!!!!!!!
Oh, you got to embrace the inner vampire within us all
MAKATI and MANILA are two DIFFERENT cities.
STOP calling other cities Manila.
Thanks for the heads up
ST MARK....No need to be so rude. Remember this. If you have to choose between being kind and being right, choose being KIND and you will ALWAYS be right.
