Best Filipino STREET FOOD at a Saturday FOOD MARKET in Manila Philippines

Good morning. Today is a Saturday, so that means the Salsito weekend market is open. And I've never been to this market before, so this is pretty exciting. Oh, this must be popular, this Thai place. There's a lot of different food vendors here. There's noodles, there's tacos, there's produce, fruits and vegetables. Okay, this looks like a pretty big size market. Okay, this place is way bigger than I thought. This grilled cheese sandwich looks good. Whole entire pig trotters, pork bellies. So this market opens at 7am. It's about 9am right now, and it is just absolutely packed with people. Oh, look at this. I like the cutest little dog ever. This market is so much fun. Can't believe I've never been here before. There is everything you want to eat is in this market. Wow, there's so much to choose from. There's also tables set up so you can eat the food over there. Wow, that barbecue smells great. Whoa, also fresh seafood too. And this market even extends into the park itself. Thank you. You're welcome. And I got a couple of barbecue skewers, one of which, oh, look at that beautiful thing. Barbecue pork. Look at all the beautiful char. Fresh off the grill. This is a pretty heavy skewer. The question is how to add my vinegar to my pork. Maybe nibble in and drizzle it out. Bite it, right? I think that's a good idea. That's what I thought, right? If you're just, oh, burst of vinegar in my mouth and plastic. All right, drizzle some on my pork. Oh, yeah, there we go. Oh, that's so good. Sweet, savory, fatty skewer of pork. A little bit of that nice char. This is the breakfast I needed this morning. Yeah, this was a good choice, especially at the end. See all that nice crispy fat. I love saving the best for last. Also, I've got a barbecue chicken. I wish you guys can smell this. Look at how juicy this thing is. Perfectly grilled. Add some vinegar onto my chicken. There we go. This is so awesome. They took the bone out. Zero hassles. Smoky, juicy. There's just tons of flavor. This thing is flavored by the fire. There's so much flavor in here, especially that skin. Is that good? Yeah. Where'd you get it? There. Halal? Yeah. That looks good. I saw you do a happy, happy dance right there. It's really good. It's that good, huh? I gotta get something after my chicken. Oh, this smells good. Good to see you. You too. Thank you. What's your name? My name is Al. Al Pacino. Nice to meet you, Al. You too. This type of bread, we call it side bread. It's very light to use it for the shawarma, especially the chicken shawarma. That's why we use it. Spicy, chili, of course. And also now we're gonna just add some beef here. We marinate it actually with the Mekka Arabic spices, special Arabic spices, which is the secret. We're gonna do it. You like all the veggie? Tomato, onion, pickles. Yes. Sure. So my shawarma was dunked into the oil that's on the bottom of the spits and now it's on the grill. Oh man, this is gonna be good. Oh my gosh, it's starting to get really hot here. Met Al back there, really nice guy, told me I had to try the hummus and also the beef shawarma. This I am so excited about. Wow, look at that. Seared up nicely on the grill. Oh my god. That is awesome. First of all, this wrap is absolutely delicious. It's so thin at the same time, incredibly chewy. And it toasts up so well. The beef shawarma is nice and smoky. There's some nice crispy pieces in here as well. The sauce is awesome. There's a lot of heat in this shawarma. It's spicy, it's garlicky. Oh man. Oh wow. I just bit into the pickles too. Oh the pickles, a nice touch. Something really crunchy and sour to balance out the richness of the beef. This thing is so juicy, by the way. Every time I take a bite, you really gotta utilize the bite and slurp method for this shawarma. Every single bite, the combined juices from the meat, the sauce, the tomatoes, everything just gushes out. It's so good. I'm so in love with this wrap, by the way. I love this shawarma. I'm sure I'm gonna love the hummus. I love this morning market. What is this? This thing is amazing. There's so much food. We don't have to travel anywhere. Everything is here. There's another one tomorrow. I'm going to it too. All right, let's try the hummus. This hummus looks so good. Oh man, I'm absolutely missing that shawarma right now. I'm excited for this. I'm excited for more wrap. There's so much olive oil in here. I love it. Wow. That's good hummus. That's really good hummus. Wow. The olive oil is phenomenal. The hummus is so rich and creamy and it's just absolutely perfect with the olive oil. They're incredible. This thing is earthy. It's nutty. The tahini adds like a silky, buttery smoothness with just a subtle bitterness. Very subtle bitterness. Like the more mature cousin of the peanut butter. I love that so much. I should have added some of that to my shawarma. This is the type of hummus that will make anything taste better. I was really trying to pace myself because there's so many things I want to eat. Oh man, this hummus is my weakness right here. This was definitely my happy place. Wow, I pretty much ate the whole thing. That's a good decision. So I met a really nice couple and they told me I had to try the soy milk here. Wow, look at the tofu. Tofu looks really good too. Got the soy milk. Oh, it's like silky smooth. No grittiness whatsoever. Sometimes fresh soy milk. You get that leftover soybeans, but not here at all. It's like drinking pure silk. That's delicious. That definitely helps with the heat, both temperature-wise and the spicy shawarma I just had. This is really interesting. Mushroom chips. You can get different flavors. I chose wasabi. Wasabi mushroom chips. That's pretty interesting. These look like little oyster mushrooms. It's not bad. I don't know if wasabi is necessarily the best flavor. I just like wasabi a lot, but it's super crispy. Definitely a little oily. It breaks apart very easily in your mouth. I mean, if this is a healthy snack, I could definitely get on board with this. Like an alternative to potato chips. And this thing is really crispy, earthy. I like it. That's a pretty good idea. So it looks like the longest lines are at this Thai stall and at this stall down at the end that sells nachos. Let's go for some Thai food. So it's approaching midday now. It's definitely getting a lot hotter. There's a lot more people here too. I think those will be my last couple of dishes here. I'm really excited about this though. Mainly about the mango sticky rice. So I see everybody at that Thai stall getting the pad thai. So that's what I got as well. So it's a tofu pad thai. There's peanuts, sprouts, splash of calamansi. That's a pretty good bowl of pad thai. That's really not bad at all. Noodles are nice and chewy. Plenty of peanuts and sprouts for a nice crunch. Good amount of heat. Nice sweet and sour flavor from the tamarind. That's a pretty solid bowl of pad thai, I gotta say. I think I waited in line for like half an hour for this pad thai. Pretty darn good. I'm really excited for this. I haven't had mango sticky rice in Southeast Asia in a long while. It's one of my favorite things to eat whenever I'm in Southeast Asia. Mango sticky rice to me in the dessert world, there's not much better than this. This is one of those things I crave. The mango is perfect. Perfect ripeness. Juicy. Extremely sweet. So juicy. Coconut milk on top. The sticky rice is perfect as well. Beautiful texture. Awesome sweetness. I feel like the best ones are just the ones you find on street stalls. This is really something you can't find in the U.S. because unless you're in Florida, the mangoes are not that good. That was just an absolute perfect mango. This just satisfies so many of my cravings right here. This place is getting a little too hot for me. I feel like I'm reaching my heat limit right now. I mean day markets are awesome but that's one reason night market is a little better. There's no sun. Boy it's so hot today.
