Trying Food RECOMMENDED TO US by a Filipino! (HONEST REACTION) 🇵🇭

We've been in the Philippines for about a week now but the amount of local dishes that we haven't tried is insane so let's fix that. We found a place online that's supposed to make some amazing delicious food. We're on our way there now. It should take us about 20 minutes to get there so read that this is one of the best places to go for proper Filipino food and yeah when we got here we had a big list of things we wanted to try but the waiter was super helpful and he gave us some recommendations. So we've got a pork asado. We've got a seafood curry curry. We've got a plain rice. What else? A sisig. A seafood sisig which is going to come on a sizzling skewer plate. I think that was it. Possibly that was it. There could be one more dish. Anyway yeah the waiter was really really helpful but we thought we recorded it all but uh yeah someone didn't press the record button properly. Blame the heat. Blame the heat. So excited. Super excited. Okay. This is the seafood curry curry. Seafood curry curry. And a serving spoon. Plain rice. Okay. And adobo. Perfect. Okay. This one. There's a shrimp. A squid. Here you go. Vegetables here. Mmhmm. Like that. And then the sauce. Okay. And there you go. You put a little bit with this one. Just a little bit. Just like that. Then mix. That's deep fried. Wrapped by pandan leaves. And the sauce is little spicy sweet sauce. Amazing. And is this traditional to Cebu? Yeah. This is our best seller here in Cafe Laguna. Really? Yeah. Amazing. Thank you. You're welcome. Traditional sisig is with pork. Yeah pork. That's the traditional sisig. But this is a new sisig milkfish. Perfect. Thank you so much. Here. That's the meat of the bangus. Here. Yeah. It's boneless. No bones. Little spicy. Okay. Perfect. Okay. Enjoy. Thank you so much. It's crispy. Thank you so much. I hope you will enjoy. 100%. Thank you so much. So here we have seafood curry curry. We've got adobo pork. We've got sisig with fish. And pandan chicken. And apparently there is a shrimp paste to have with your curry curry. So traditionally sisig is made out of pork. But we were recommended to try fish one. Apparently it's new and it's one of the most popular dishes in this place. You know when someone recommends you stuff you kind of feel like guilty and ungrateful if you're like okay you recommend this I'll get the other one. So everything looks insanely delicious and smells so good. I can't wait to go for this crispy skin. It's been staring at me the whole time. Listen to the crunch. Let's try curry curry. I'm pretending like I just didn't. I'm just praying for another spoonful because it's so good. So curry curry is oxtail and seafood stew with peanut butter. And here we can see as well clams, shrimp, some pieces of fish, green beans and morning glory I think there is as well. It is so rich. The peanut butter flavor comes through really strongly. It is incredibly comforting and I don't know a satisfying dish makes you feel at home. I don't know what it is in hot countries when you have a hot comforting food. It just makes you feel good. Peanut butter, salty, got a meaty at the same time as well. That is delicious. Right so this is pork adobo which looks and smells absolutely incredible. It smells so so rich and there is like a thick layer of oil on the top. It just looks amazing and the actual pork itself is very fatty. There is all parts of the pork in there I think. So good. Wow. Right. Oh my god the smell is insane. Let's dig in. Does it just fall apart in your mouth? Yes. That is so so good. The pork is really tender. That has been cooked so well. The broth is like a really meaty oily gravy. I was expecting it to be spicy but it is not spicy at all. You know what it smells like? A bit aromatic like cloves and cinnamon. There is obviously the leaves in there and there is definitely a lot of garlic and potentially like you say cloves. So aromatic. There is so many different flavours piled into that in one. And the pork itself is so tender. There is a big bit of pork fat here as well which I absolutely love. So creamy. Apparently this is supposed to be a little bit spicy. There is definitely some green chillies in there. I am trying to pick them out. Also, this has been deboned so there are no bones stuck in there at all which is always a bonus. That is so rich. Is it right to say the fish tastes very meaty? Yes, because you can definitely have a meaty textured fish. The fish we tried in Albania was incredibly meaty textured. We will write it down here. That was incredibly meaty textured. It is salty. It is sweet. It is smoky. That is like a beautifully grilled slash fried fish. I am really lost for words. That doesn't happen very often. So far this is absolutely incredible. It is such an interesting mix as well because we have got the fish dishes, we have got chicken, we have got a pork dish. I really think we have made a good choice to be honest. It is such a combination of everything. Oh yeah. Let's get stuck in. Let's move on. Let's move on to the last dish on the plate which is Pandan chicken which sounds absolutely incredible. The waiter said that it is a little bit spicy as well and it is obviously coming with a chilli sauce of some sort. Let's grab a wing and pour some sauce on. Don't eat the leaf. No, no, no. That was an afterthought. I probably would have bit into it. Oh that smells amazing. The chicken itself is really tender and really moist. Not dry at all. To be honest it is not that spicy. It is just well spiced. Really tasty. You can taste a little hint of the pandan. Just a little coconutty hint to it. So nice. You said this was one of the most popular things here as well didn't you? Yeah. And you can see why. That is really good. That was absolutely amazing. Such an incredible variety of these dishes we were just saying and everything is so different tasting. The curry curry is completely different to the pork adobo and then the sisig again is totally different. I feel like we have done well on the ordering front here. Thanks so much to the waiter. Thank you so much. 100%. So on that note we are going to pay and then go and find somewhere because I don't know if you can tell I am a little bit wet. And we are taking piggyback with us. Doggyback. Well you take doggyback I am taking piggyback. Is it when you put someone on your back? No. So let's take a doggyback. Let's take a doggyback. And you are going to give me a piggyback. Not a chance in hell. We just got back to our apartment and it gets dark pretty early here. Anyways that was great. The food was awesome. Obviously it is just a little tiny bit of everything there is to offer. Especially apparently Cebu is the place for food. So there are a few things that we are incredibly curious and excited to try. Like more of an exotic side. And there is obviously lechon but it is such a big thing that we want to make a full video about it. So stay tuned for that. And yeah it was great. Hope you enjoyed watching it. And let us know if you ever tried any of those dishes and which one you would like to try if you haven't. And which one is your favorite. And thanks for watching this video. See you in the next one.
