EXPLORING MODERN MANILA (BGC) - BETTER THAN WE EXPECTED
In our previous video, we checked out old Manila. We were overwhelmed with comments and suggestions to go and check out BGC, which is modern Manila. In this video, we do just that! We walk around the BGC and check out multiple sites. We visit some restaurants, walk the streets to spot some street art, check out the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, and Venice Grand Canal Mall. Join us as we explore this incredible city and country!

@@anjaplushenka5995 they just hit and run. Eg they do not know what they are eating. Food is a culture in asia and we take our food culture seriously. It is offensive not to know what you are eating. After eating it, these vloggers asked the locals to tell them what they have just eaten and what it is made of. Come on, we should know what to order and eat before putting into our body. We now have google right. But thankfully not all vloggers do that, only a few. Some hired local food guides which is a clever method to do a food mukbang.
Those rules at the US / PH cemetery is amazing. That respect and solemnity for those who sacrificed for peace. Thank you soldiers. 🙏🏻

I was just there at the American Cemetery and Memorial last Saturday, June the 2nd around lunch time before I flew back. The area is so well maintained and there was a tour going on while I was there. The tour guide was free and there were a handful of Americans, Chinese, Indians and Malaysians in a tour group. I came on my own and the guards were so accommodating and friendly.
Epic drone shots 🔥 Great cinematography too! You really captured the beauty of BGC from every angle. Good job guys! 💯👌🏻

I suggest when eating Filipino food, always order rice, it's the equivalent of having potatoes or bread w your meals. You'd also be given dips and sauces to adjust your food to your taste. Bagoong is a very pungent shrimp paste and used sparingly to enhance flavor to your meal.

Why do you sound like you are giving advice to aliens who just landed in planet earth. The entire civilize world knows how rich is eaten. There are chinatowns everywhere in the west and 97% of travelers has heard of Bangkok and Hanoi. They dont need to put rice in their mouth in eating Filipino food. Because some cultures do not need carbs to appreciate a dish. Fact is, rich is only eaten because it is the cheapest way to fill the tummy.

Cool drown shots... If ur still in manila u may go to tagaytay... Beautiful view of the taal volcano and lake... Eat bulalo there... The best place to eat that
Yeah like what most commenters suggested here you need to eat the main dish with rice to balance the over powering taste. Try eating the meal the Filipino way. You came here just when the rainy season starts usually June to February. You can do more outdoors during summertime which is March to May. If you are young at heart try the theme parks, Star City and Enchanted Kingdom. You can also do indoor Trampoline parks or the Art in Island 3D Museum.Try Twin Lakes, Tagaytay or the Crosswind area you will love the weather there and the view of the smallest active volcano in the world on a lake. You can try the Bulalo with rice, enjoy lunch while enjoying the view. Make sure to go to a restaurant with a view of the Taal Volcano.
This area is so upscale! Wow

Walking is good exercise. They taught us eaten too besides ate. I like spreading some ketchup on my eggplant torta. My hat's off to you if you can eat the bagoong or shrimp paste, it's an acquired taste. It's rainy season right now so expect some late afternoon thunderstorms. Good idea to bring an umbrella. You can use it as a self-defense weapon too just in case. Tim Horton's is the real Canadian bacon in the Philippines.

Support from a Canadian-Filipino. Thanks for featuring BGC. I miss this place. There's nothing like Tim Hortons! Try to get hotels that offers 24 hrs security and near the malls to be safe strolling around. Don't book on hotels within residential areas if you would like to go out in the evening. Locals are friendly and welcoming. Most areas are safe. Just be careful with your valuables all the time.

Safety is related to the neighborhood. 10 minute walk from posh Union Square in San Francisco is one of the most dangerous places in the world - the Tenderloin district.
GUYS! TOO EXPENSIVE! 😀 The eggplant dish is about P30 in a local eatery then maybe P200 the most for that ginataang pusit dish in a fancier “local” restaurant. Remember also that RICE is a staple here so dishes are a bit more salty and flavorful because they’re meant to be eaten with a spoonful of rice in every bite. Enjoy the Philippines! Ask and talk to people. They’d be very helpful.

Manila American Cemetery has house rules, one of which is to wear appropriate attire. After all, it is the resting place of 56,000 service members who died in the Pacific during World War 2. FUN FACT THERE ARE CANADIANS BURIED AND MEMORIALIZED IN THE CEMETERY. Should've asked the guides there, and they could've toured you for free!

hi A&Z, new sub here! just a suggestion, Filipino food tends to be very savory, so we normally eat it with Rice, just to balance the taste. Also, we kinda share the items, unlike how you would do it in Canara (I suppose), since it would be overwhelming to just eat one specific dish. I guess, this food culture derives from the strong bond in our families, where we share everything. Anyhow, I hope you will enjoy your stay in the Philippines and discover lots of new things!
