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

Oh 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 one of the biggest in Manila. I can't believe I haven't been there yet But hitting there right now, but before that I'm a little too hungry to just wait through the traffic I'm gonna eat one of these little moon cakes that was given to me yesterday in this little fridge Look at this, this actually works. It's all like together and stuff. You guys never had these kind of moon cakes before They're called snow skin moon cakes. So the skin is actually made with rice. Oh man, the skin is mochi-ish and inside you can see the egg yolk and Lolo's filling. Moon cakes are things that Chinese people typically only eat once a year, but they are so good and they are so bad for you This is so yummy And here we are right now I'm at Keapo Plaza right behind me is the famous minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene and this right here It's the largest market in the Philippines. We're pretty much gonna find anything you really want. There's clothes, houseware, bags, fruits, produce They're 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 is really good. If you want to go grab a cheap electronic or some groceries or seafood It's really not good for like actual street food items. It's not that much but right near here It's a really good place for pincet and I'm gonna move for noodles. So let's head over there We'll see if there's any street food along the way Found this guy serving fresh-fried calamari and isaw on the road For this you just come and serve yourself You grab a skewer and one piece is at three pesos. You dip it in the sauce, a little vinegar and onions Oh my god, that's good. That's some fresh calamari, super snappy and that batter is great He put a little spices on the calamari too, so it's got a slight bit of heat So you dip it in that sauce, the batter soaks up some of the nice vinegar, still retains some nice crunch This is isaw chicken intestine I've been dipping it in the wrong sauce. His spicy sauce is so much better If you don't like inners, don't get this. Get the calamari, but I love this Okay, yeah, yeah add a little salt. There we go When it comes to tropical fruits, you've got to try them in this country It's a really short walk from the market to Banando, the oldest Chinatown in the world And I was here last time, explored a little bit, but it's so massive I came back because I missed out on this place last time, Raymond Lee's fried chicken and pincet This place supposedly has some amazing noodles I got a couple of things, the miki bihan and the fried chicken Miki bihan is a type of noodle dish, it's basically a combination of two different types of noodles Miki is an egg noodle and bihan is a rice noodle And they told me that's the best noodle dish here. Two types of noodles, miki and bihan And this thing has basically all the major meat groups. Got some chicken, some pork, some chicken liver Calamari, all stir-fried together and also I got a half a fried chicken. This thing, not battered at all Super crispy on the outside and with the pincet, squeeze some calamari on here. Oh, I've been waiting for this Mmm. Oh, I love this. Needs a little more calamari, a little bit more citrus, but oh my god It's so delicious. Two types of noodles provides two distinct type of textures. The thicker noodle, the miki, a Bit more chew. The bihan though, soaks up all that nice flavor It's not like this particular noodle dish has any very distinct flavor. It's just a very solid, comforting dish and they have hot oil here There's something so simple and rustic 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 fried chicken Mmm, this is a good combo. Crispy skin, juicy meat 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 in mom Or grandma's fridge is tossed to get on a wok and served to you piping hot And although it's not the prettiest dish, all you taste is the love. That was just the perfect breakfast noodle I needed. Now, I think I'm pregnant with a food baby. I gotta go back to the hotel, check out and check into a new hotel Good morning, last full day here in Manila I'm gonna go meet up with some friends and gonna go on a local food tour. I 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 club team in a local food tour guide. This is Mark by the way So our first stop is Winando Chinatown. I was just there. Going back Lupia it's a really good spring roll sort of thing So this lumpia is about 80% vegetable tofu 20% pork You got way different textures now and also sweet, sour, spicy, got 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 probably the healthiest burrito You may ever eat. That was really fulfilling. That's one of the most popular dishes to try in Chinatown here in Manila I had that last time but this one I feel like it's a little better than what I had before I was here the first time I was in the Philippines and we're getting different dishes than the last time I had So this is called Hae Ma Mi, Hae is shrimp, Ma is pork belly, and then I usually put a dollop of satay Satay? Yeah But it's separate and then you mix it up Ooh that's a lot of satay Yeah, it's a bit spicy Mmm, the soup is so unique, it's very light but a ton of umami flavor, I feel like with a tiny bit of vinegar and a tiny bit of spice, it might be even better We can always get black vinegar 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 umami shower ever And it looks like, what is that, nuts on top, cilantro, cucumbers, spiced chili sauce I always dream of showering something with soy sauce cause if you want a delicious shower it's gotta include soy sauce Fried and tender inside, look at that Round of applause for the fried tofu I like the way it's fried, crisp outside, soft inside What you did on top of this with the 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 wanna try this now So it's braised pork with salty fish sauce This is one of those dishes that completely transforms the white rice From something that's simply elegant to simply scrumptious Just the rice itself, I haven't even touched the pork with the tofu yet Just that rice, it's some of the most delicious saucy grains of God I'll be happy to come here, get a big bowl of rice Get this dish and that dish and that's it And I'll be very very happy, cause the rice is already transformed This is like rice Pokemon elevating up This is like a little Bulbasaur turning into a Venusaur The sauce is very rich Yeah, I think lunch here, like if I was just coming here Like I said, I'd just get a big bowl of rice, get some of these really saucy dishes And I would feel really good for the rest of the day And this is one of those older shops again, but we're coming here for one thing This is pork, ground pork with tofu and chives It's like a crusty, flaky dumpling The second bite is better than the first bite Cause the first bite, yeah, the first bite had a lot of crust And the crust is good cause it's very flaky But then I got the juice And that juice, when that washes over your taste buds, then you start feeling real good It's called lo bi hun, lo means braised So the noodle and the sauce is quite thick So it has rice noodle, it has shrimp, it has pork, sausages This with a little black vinegar smells amazing Oh, that's good This thing just feeds directly into your soul This thing without black vinegar would be, I think, really, really thick It's flavorful, but it'd be a little harder to eat And the broth is so rich and robust This does remind me of the shrimp lor mee I had in Singapore It's one of those dishes that you just like, one taste, you're like, oh god, that's good This is one of those things And you're putting rice wine into the bowl of noodles That's what the elders do Yeah, usually it's boiled with the broth so it evaporates But you're adding it afterwards Interesting, okay Alright, I gotta tell ya, this thing has no taste Pork wrapped in tofu and deep fried Oh, that's crispy on the outside too Dip it in a little bit of chili sauce Oh, that's good Nice crispy tofu skin on the outside Juicy pork, nice roasted flavor I'm gonna call this dish Redemption from these grandma noodles Ah, Dongbei Xuejiao, northeast dumplings That's a familiar sight Like, there's a lot of northeast dumpling places in New York Oh, look at the way she's chopping it It's like making it look like almost like a chain Making it look like almost a spine shape 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 and I got x-ray vision And I can see inside This is gonna be a very juicy, very meaty dumpling Chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic 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 chive 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 with really thin skin The ones that 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% of the flavor and substance All hidden Until you put it in your mouth The reason I love going around to different Chinatowns Different parts of the world is that I love Chinese food And it's just amazing to see how Something that I love transforms And 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 in Malaysia Way different than Chinese food in India And Chinese food in Mexico It's all different But it's all great And so amazingly unique It's just like trying different McDonald's around the world It's just so interesting to see Alright everyone, last stop Where are we at? So we're now at this place called Eng Hee Lin Which is the biggest and the brashest Hopia store here in Chinatown And Hopia is the mooncake Mung bean cake In Manila, we come to Chinatown to get this thing Oh my god, look at all the different flavors of mooncake Chocolate, banana Dorian This one is custard with coconut This is so creamy Coconut-y and yummy 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 that I just had This thing is all substance What a fantastic dessert And that's it for my tour with Ivan I hope you enjoyed our neighborhood I love it Thank you so much for showing me all these places And if you guys want to take this tour It's called the Bonando Food Walk Like the walk And you can find that on Klook It's one of the recommended tours on Klook, right?

That's not enough Crispy bacon on top I like how they think The chocolate adventure continues Braised rib finger Beef covered in chilies and onions Splash of calamansi juice on top of that 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 flavors Love this 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 adored this This is really the perfect sweet and savory finish 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 based chili That might seem really weird to you Don't knock until you try it It's really fun getting to explore like different ways that cocoa is used In all the different dishes and how versatile it could be And how delicious it can make Something that you never think would be good with chocolate in there Well that ends 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 And 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 appreciate that All the places I went to listed down below As always thank you all so much for watching until we eat again See you later
