The lady in the eatery did not properly identify the rolls which she said to be Pork Shanghai. It is a kind of LUMPIA hence it should have been properly called LUMPIA Shanghai which filling is pork meat. There are other kinds of LUMPIA like Lumpia Toge (bean sprout filling), Lumpia Gulay (leafy vegetables filling), and Lumpia Sariwa. Sariwa means Fresh. Lumpia Sariwa is not fried unlike the other Lumpias. It has filling of vegetables, carrots, sprouts, etc., and topped with peanut sauce. Fyi.

Be careful with those drinks…. They use water straight from the faucet. When I visit the Philippines, I realized the water from the faucet is sweet and delicious compared to the water I buy that tasted like chemical to sanitize the container. So I decided to use the water straight from the faucet. However, I strain it with a piece of material derived from the ny,in tea bag from the green tea in buy from Costco. Then, I boil it, and finally, put it in the fridge to cool. I think most restaurant use filtered water. I only drink pure coconut juice from palengke and avoid those delicious looking tropical juices from the street. Have fun and stay safe.

Can't wait for more! The filming and editing is spot on Cheers

I like how this episode focuses on the place and the people instead of on the vloggers which is a common theme among foreign vloggers. It kinda reminds me of OG travel vlog Lonely Planet with my favorite Ian Wright, Megan McCormick and Justine Shapiro. Good job you two.

Your channel just popped up my screen. So, here I am, your new subscriber! Safe and happy travels!

What a refreshing change from vloggers who create characters for themselves or seem to stir up trouble with locals when they show up with a camera and money! The simplicity of such an attractive couple presenting well-edited, colorful video, breathes fresh air into a somewhat tired genre here. Thanks for what you do.

Thank you. It means a lot for expat workers; known as Overseas Filipino Workers, to see their hometown through your eyes (and videos). I’m from the area you went around. It’s good to see a glimpse of home, just for a little bit. Helps relieve the homesickness. Keep the good work coming!

Great vlog. A lot of Smiles. Filipinos are known for their great Smiles. 😊

Thank you for visiting the Philippines and enjoying your stay.

Sammy and Tommy, Good channel to watch, because of your interactions with locals and learning basic Tagalog at the same time. Rest assure that you guys are safe there to roam around Manila. We welcome you very much to explore and taste street food, prepared in front of your eyes. God bless.

I have a house in Pangasinan (that I'm preparing to put on AirBnB). You guys can stay there and be my guest. My cousin can drive you around. I'll send a dm.

This made me tear up just halfway through. Glad you guys enjoyed ur time here. You captured the soul of our hospitable country.❤

You're really my type of foreign vlogger. The one who wanders the rough neighborhoods but does not cringe. Yet, you try things that most foreigners wouldn't dare and you actually appreciate them. Needless to say, I ended up subscribing, Looking forward to watching your other videos.

I stayed there at Aqua Novotel last year last week of March. I loved that place. Got that local vibe and right across the river is Powerplant Mall. You can take the boat to cross the river for 5 pesos and walk to the mall. Fun place.

from Mandaluyong Here... happy to see you exploring my city

Love that you guys are interacting with the locals. Some vloggers should learn from you guys. Keep it up

It’s my first time seeing your guys vlog and all i have to say is that it’s unique. I can tell there’s no fakeness and love you guys respecting the locals. Love the interactions and loved it when you asked questions if you weren’t sure. Anyway, with the small limes they give with chili,you usually put soy sauce and add the calamansi (the small lime) and squish the chili mixed in. You can also do what you did. Have fun in Manila and try to visit the other parts like BGC and Makati. Lastly, if you guys have questions about something don’t hesitate to ask!

Welcome to the Philippines, guys! I'm so glad you did enjoyed our Filipino foods.

Cool...mixing it up and vibing with the "real" Manila. It's genuinely fun to see how life is for most Filipinos. Safe travels.

i love the content. very natural and relaxed. keet it up guys. stay safe and still be cautious, dont let your guard down. Enjoy.

Great Manilla experience ! Filipinos are the best hosts on the planet! Safe travels .

Also I hope you have plans to stay in Luzon for a little longer. Here are some places to see Baguio ( summer capital of the Phillipines ) , Tagaytay , Banaue ( rice terraces ) , Vigan ( Spanish colonial ), Bicol Region for Mayon Volcano and Sorsogon for whale sharks. Enjoy !! I am Filipno Cdn raised here in Canada and will be heading down there as part of my retirement trip soon. Ibhave not been back since we emigrated back in the 70's.
