Good morning. So since we've been here in the Philippines the food has been absolutely
incredible and especially the street food. And today on that note we want to put it to the test
and we really want to hit the street food hard. So for the next 24 hours we're eating street food
and only street food. Say street food more. Let's tuck in.
Saturday market now. We just picked up some fruit that I've never seen before.
I'm gonna try it at home. Apparently, I think she said chicken. It's called. And this is not
ripe yet so we're gonna try it tomorrow. But the other one is ripe and ready to eat soon.
To be honest this is not kind of a Saturday market that we expected from what we've been reading.
But it's more like an artisan pop-up market you know.
But everything still looks and smells incredible. So let's grab something here
and maybe head to a different part of the city. Sounds like a plan? Let's do it.
Thank you so much. You're welcome.
Just eat here? Yeah. You hold this. I'll try the chicken one.
So as breakfast go, I'm pretty happy with that. Looks juicy.
Go for it. Smoky, sweet, salty, just melts in your mouth. This is so good.
Right let's try this whopper. So the lady did say what this is called but to be honest in the
melee we forgot. So hopefully someone will let us know down below what it's called.
Smells really smoky, really really smoky. This is a sweet one. We were offered sweet or spicy.
I went for sweet. Thought it sounded quite interesting. Looks like I'm not going to like it
right? You're gonna hate it. That is amazing. It's um yeah just really really good. So the actual skin
is really crispy where it's been on the barbecue. You can see all of the charred bits and it really
is sweet as well. That is so so good. It's almost like a caramelized taste to it and
yeah the actual meat itself is just beautiful. Yeah it just falls apart. So good. We grab the
spicy one. Go for it. So smoky. It's garlicky. It's got kick to it but it's not very spicy.
Just got a tiny little kick to it hasn't it? I was expecting my mouth to be like on fire.
Exactly yeah same. You can just see little bits of chili inside the um
inside the sausage there. But yeah like you say that's really garlicky.
That is lovely. Again with that smoky taste and that crisp skin on the outside.
That is just unbelievable. So good. There is a serious danger that we may just stay
one stroll for the rest of the day. So let's head out. Saucedo Saturday Market. What a place.
So it's open obviously every Saturday and it's only open until two o'clock. So you have to get
there nice and early. And yeah it's a great place to go for breakfast. It's a bit different to your
stereotype of a street food place here in in Asia in general. But yeah it was really really nice.
Like more of an artisanal market like you said. So for now we are actually going to head back to
the apartment and ride out the hottest part of the day because it gets very very hot here in
a few hours sitting and hiding from the sun we're back out and we've just ordered a grab taxi to
to eat street food. Yes guys. This is my YouTube channel guys.
So we just grabbed some fish balls that we've been recommended by a local
blogger. And let's try them out. They're so hot. And apparently we've got like sweet and spicy sauce
Really hot. Delicious.
Such a beautiful snack. It's tasty?
Yummy. Is it your favorite? Yeah. Yeah this is my favorite. You've got a lot of sauce in there.
Hi guys my name is St. John Flores on YouTube channel and I am just inviting you to subscribe
my YouTube channel and your YouTube channel too. Thank you so much. So good to meet you.
So good to meet you. Bye-bye. People are just so amazing here. So friendly. It's crazy.
Right so this part of town is absolutely crazy. There's so much going on. It's so busy. There's
so many really lovely people as well. Everyone's so so friendly. Anytime they see the camera like
in a lot of places people are shy of the camera. Here they're like yo welcome to the Philippines.
It's so cool. So to escape from the madness a little bit we've come to a place where you can
just sit down at the front and we've got this amazing looking noodle soup which is, I'm just
gonna check, a meatball dumpling satay noodle soup. It smells absolutely amazing.
You can really taste the satay, the smell of the satay, the peanutty flavour. It is so so good
and yeah we are starving at this point. So let's dig in. Let's try the sauce first.
That is so nice. It's peanutty obviously being a satay sauce. Slightly spicy but it's a soup so
it's not like you know like a satay sauce you have on satay chicken. It's a really watery soup
and it's just so so nice. It's slightly oily. It is quite rich isn't it? Very very rich. Yes
and there's fresh spring onions and other veg in here. There's a fish ball and a meat dumpling
which I'm gonna dig straight into. And noodles as well. This is like the best soup ever.
So comforting. That dumpling is really really nicely spiced so that's a
it's a dim sum isn't it? That is so so good. Dig into this green fish ball.
Whoa there's meat inside. Really really struck lucky with this. Good choice Jule. Well done.
That caught your eye straight away as we're walking past didn't it?
Right we're both absolutely stuffed. It's so interesting how much less you eat in heat like
this but yeah we are we are done for today. So maybe not. Maybe a bit later. I don't know. We'll
see when we get hungry. Right so we are back in Makati. We're actually back on the rooftop of
our hotel where we're staying enjoying this incredible view. We just missed the sunset but
it's still pretty stunning. For dinner we're having halal halal. And we're going to buy it
on the street so technically it's not a street food but I'll channel our rules. What are you
going to do about it? Yes. Too right. What are you going to do about it? To be honest we did actually
look on the street everywhere. We looked when we were in central Manila and we looked here in
Makati but we couldn't find it. So we settled on a place that was takeaway. I mean it's halfway
there and we're eating it sort of on the street. It's still food. Yeah we're eating on the street.
So halal halal. We had it with you last time. It's basically a traditional dessert
which is translates as a mix mix. Shaved ice with a lot of stuff with it like condensed milk,
lots of different jellies and sweetened beans, baked ice cream. What? It's so good. And it comes
out like when you mix it all together it comes out perfectly purple because of the ube doesn't it?
And all those little sweet jellies in there. That's my favourite bit to be honest.
We're going to continue eating now. So are we going to leave you here?
It's been a great couple of days in Manila. Shame we haven't got a bit more time to explore more of
the city but we'll definitely be back. And yeah tomorrow we're going off somewhere else to another
part of the Philippines that we're incredibly excited about. And to be honest we're incredibly
excited about the journey but we'll leave you there. Thanks for watching this video and see you next one!
