    A big thank you to ‪@Vessi‬ for sponsoring this video. It was an absolute pleasure to get to meet up in Vegas with Dan from ‪@DanVsWorld‬ and ‪@NormaGeli‬ to share an amazing Filipino meal together. The exquisite modern take on the Filipino classic comfort food spurred on my appetite the next day for some more Filipino food the next day in Vegas.
    As luck would have it, there are plenty of great Filipino restaurants right outside the Vegas Strip that offers incredible value. From the well known places like Jollibee and Red Ribbon, to unique and exotic Filipino street food, Vegas has it all. Believe it or not, there's even an incredible Filipino Buffet for only $14!
    A quick drive off the strip took me to a Toto's Grill where Sam was nice enough to introduce me to some of the more unique and adventurous Filipino Fare. From intestines, chicken head, pork blood and more.. a very enjoyable experience (aside from the grilled pork blood) and a memorable one! Highly recommend!
    And it gets better as I discovered a great Filipino Buffet two blocks away called Kusina Ni Lorraine. Upon entering, memories for Manila are brought back; from the decor of the restaurant/market to the friendly greeting from Paul, this is the Philippines at it's best! Incredible value at $14 with the Kare Kare, pork blood stew, lechon and more!

    Thank you for being so adventurous for us, Tim. I don't think I would be able to stomach most of those skewers. I had purchased a pair of Vessi weekend sneakers. Waiting for the rainy season to try them out. Take care and looking forward to your next video, Tim.

      Yeah, it was a bit of an acquired taste for some of the more exotic skewers. Glad you got a pair of Vessi's and even happier that you got the weekend style... I tried to mention it in the video that the weekend sneakers are the most comfortable with lots of cushioning... Certainly my pair

      T2. ANG DUGO BA AY ISANG URI NG PAGKAIN?
      S. Hindi, ang dugo ay pantubos ng kasalan at hindi pagkain.
      “Sapagkat ang buhay ay nasa dugo; at aking ibibigay sa inyo sa ibabaw ng dambana upang itubos sa inyong mga kaluluwa: sapakat ang dugo'y siyang tumutubos dahil sa buhay” (Lev.17:11) (ADB1905)
      “ “Ingatan ninyo ang inyong sarili at ang buong kawan, na inilagay ng Espiritu Santo sa inyong pangangasiwa. Pangalagaan ninyo ang iglesia ng Diyos, na kanyang tinubos sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng kanyang Anak.” (Gawa 20:28)(MBBTAG)
      “At ayon sa kautusan, ay halos masasabi kong lahat ng mga bagay ay nililinis ng dugo, at maliban na sa pagkabuhos ng dugo ay walang kapatawaran.” (Heb. 9:22) (ADB1905)
      Liwanag: Pansinin natin sa lumang tipan pa, ginagamit nila ang dugo ng mga hayop na pantubos ng kanilang mga kasalanan. Sa bagong tipan ay dugo ng ating Panginoong JesuCristo ang ginamit na pantubos sa ating mga kasalanan minsan at magpakailman. Kaya, maliwanag na nuon pa man hindi na ito isang uri ng kanilang pagkain.

      Ang dugo delikado kainin diyan ako halos hinimatay I had food poisoning when I ate dinuguan since then never eat again. And also doon ko na nabasa sa Bible at kahit mga Christians and Muslim at pati mga Jewish ay bawal talaga na kainin ang dugo nakalaad sa Bible

    The bitter beef and offal stew is pinapaitan (Pi-na-pa-i-tan) or papaitan. Bile is one of the main ingredient. Although bitter, it should be balanced with the savory and sour of this stew. I would recommend beer and other salty sides to pair.

    Oh Tim I hope I seen this video last week I was in Vegas one of our list was to eat great Filipino food this is exactly what I was looking for but the Filipino Uber driver never told us about this and told us that we are better off just going buffet in the strip since most good Filipino food are far from the strip but if I knew that this existed plus only $15 it could have been worth while the trip and the Filipino chef at the Palm that was also a missed now because of your vlog I want to go back to Vegas I can wait to try all this and your other food recommendations congrats to your channel stay hydrated

      Really like these smaller places where it's family run or ran by a few people.. rather than the big extravagant restaurants. At the buffet, Paul and his mom were present and working away at the restaurant.. really nice to see these places thrive

      Hi Tim. I'm a pinoy myself and I couldn't help laughing bec I'm the type who would avoid the exotic parts of a pig or chicken 😆. The grilled pork blood is best eaten with spicy vinegar sauce and it's supposed to taste like any smoked grilled meat if grilled well. Otherwise it's just goin to taste like plain pork blood. I loved buying it on the street when I was a kid but fishballs dipped in a sweet and spicy 'manong sauce'
      is my all time fave street food! Love pork bbq and dinuguan too! Cheers to you for trying out pinoy street skewers and for giving an honest 1st timer feedback about it 😆 I guess it's acquired taste when it comes to exotic skewers. 😀
