Mergim truly DGAF pulling out a mic eating dolo and talking to himself surrounded by families on both sides, interviewing strangers, wearing shades while eating etc. That's the beauty of the Philippines and Southeast Asia in general though - everyone else also DGAF and people will chat and entertain you so that you feel comfortable, whereas in the West it'd be much more awkward. 😂 I can't even picture this in London, Paris or LA. People would probably just move to another table. 😂

Agree with you 💯 😅
I was always amped on my ships whenever Filipino food was served, cant wait to go back to PH.
Yes filipino cuisine, try all and ask for the best seller. Every filipino restaurant has it’s own story😊
after watching with my wife, you'd pushed us to buy menus and cook our favorite dish which is beans with pork pata🐖... you make my day again...😋 DAGHANG SALAMAT!
I don't understand why Manam doesn't put Calamansi on Palabok and Sisig. This is the time you go to Molito Alabang and Alabang Town Center (Max's is big there. Just take a P2P bus from Market Market to Alabang and Vice Versa only 15-20 mins via Slex or In Greenbelt Makati (Mercury Drug Side) P2P Greenbelt-Alabang Town Center vice versa via Skyway. They don't stop until the destination hence Point To Point Bus.
Manam is fancy Filipino resto to me. Start with Max, Barrio Fiesta and Aristocrat. You may check their record history... They have been in the business for decades serving our foreparents til now. And then try Baliwag and Andoks Lechon Manok. Speaking of contents.. this would be a very good content series.

Manam is a good start for foreigners, too. It’s a fusion food and one of my fave during cravings. It’s quite pricey but their twists are so unique.
We need more Mergim reviews Filipino food/restaurant vlogs!
Thats a feast Mr Chairman! You got all the best in the menu. If you treat a foreigner, those are the orders that you want them introduced to Pinoy food.
I just ate here recently. Their Turon Ice Cream is a top-tier dessert! ❤
nice you tried manam sinigang! edit: gerrys grill.. like their fish menu and pork bbq. i dont eat raw but they say their kinilaw is good also. i like kare kare in general also, but you should know how to eat with shrimp paste. dont forget po to ask their recommendation also. just a note..filipino food usually taste best when its home cooked (di tinipid) compared when its for business, have to tailor the ingredients (pang-masa) unless maybe if its high end, but there are some hidden gem karenderyas or small eatery there. enjoy!
Hello Mergim, try Barrio Fiesta with the singing cooks and waiters, the foods there are delicious and its fun there...
Try bulalo karekare fresh lumpia Lumpia Shanghai Caldereta Fried daing bangus Morcon Cordon blue Try Kuya J or mang inasal Jollibee Chowking or barrio fiesta thank u for trying our Filipino food god bless enjoy your stay in Philippines also try to visit other beautiful places
Try kare-kare! I haven’t seen a lot of vloggers try it Not sure these very old establishments are still around but they defined Filipino food in the 70s 80s 90s - Barrio Fiesta, Kamayan, Milky Way, Doña Nena’s. For fun, The Singing Cooks and Waiters resto.
Impressive for a foreigner that you actually know what to order and what they're called, you can also try eating the sinigang with your rice and putting some calamansi on your palabok, that's how we usually eat them.
impossible to watch this without drooling. ansarap! 😋
He ordered a lot!
Good move. You should do a series of vlogs featuring Pinoy restaturants. You can start with the OGs like Max’s, Aristocrat, Savory, and Via Mare then move on with more modern ones like Locavore (and their sizzling sinigang), or Crisostomo’s. You may also want to try the less commercialized stand alone places like Cafe Juanita in Pasig.
Yes try Max’s Famous Fried Chicken too .. they also have other Filipino dishes and Gerry’s grill with their crispy pata, etc.
Exciting content!!!
halo halo literal meaning is mix mix but the real meaning is mixtures of variety of something
Wow, with that so much food, it only cost around 26-27 USD ($). Here in the U.S., that amount will only buy you one item selection on a menu and you will still be starving.
🎉Happy blessed Sunday everyone.... 😊
That was a feast! Enjoyed watching you enjoy the Filipino food. If you’re going to Max’s, order the spring chicken.
i sugest you try singing cooks & waiters in roxas blvd cor gil puyat pasay, they also serve filipino food
Wow well delicious mate, awesome review mate😎👌
i don't know if u already tried Cafe Juanita at Kapitolyo. If not, try their sinigang and other foods as well.
I recommended MAX'S chicken resto. Or kamayan resto, keep up the good work 💯💪💖 and keep safe and good health 💖💯💪 GOD BLESS PO 🙏💖💯💪
Just an fyi: pancit palabok is a snack, not a dinner entree. On the menu, it's listed under Merienda, which means snack.

What? No.
Oh this new resto… looks so tempting. Will try it as soon as possible. Thanks, Chairman!
Since you tried Manam which is so close to you, maybe you can try Aristocrat by Manila Bay. They have the best “chicken BBQ.”
13:03 Palabok & Pancit Malabon are my favorite! 😋👍 16:48 Halo-halo, Masterchief approves! 👌
Mergim you have a great appetite. Next will be "Gerry's Grill", try their Crispy Pata and Stuffed Squid its heaven.
Another solid vlog! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Try the Fresh Lumpia with the sause and nuts, was on the purple page.
Oh my word, this video got my mouth salivating like crazy! I'm soooo hungry! Thank you to our beloved BGC Chairman Merghim!! 😍❤💕
Aristocrat chicken bbq is just so tasty!! Also their menudo n kaldereta
Kanin Club Restaurant in Westgate, Alabang & in QC & try their Crispy Dinuguan, Tinolang Manok & Sinigang na Baka but I dont know if they have a branch at BGC but they have authentic delicious Filipino food
Good day mergim, I am a great fan of yours, your vlogs are very interesting and very informative but you still haven't tried going to Greenhill area , there iare many restos here and a unique shopping mall here . Please try to vlog here,will be waiting for it. Thank you
Mergim I recommend aristocrat restaurant, or the singing cooks and waiter restaurant those two restaurant are well established and famous for its Filipino dishes they are here decades and decades ago together with Max's restaurant establish after world war 2!
Great video Mergim. Now I know what to order at Manam. For a more "earthy" hands on Filipino dining experience, try Pagkaing Gubat in Quezon City. For a more exotic experience, try Balaw-Balaw in Angono, Rizal though I know you are not a fan of too exotic food choices.

Happy Sunday!
Include aristocrat restaurants famous for barbecue
Other Pilipino restaurants that are also famous are Barrio Fiesta and Mesa . Barrio Fiesta invented crispy pata. Mesa has also watermelon sinigang and the Shanghai lumpia is also good. Via Mare is also an choice.
Theres Abe in Serendra. Also Sarsa for some Bacolod/Iloilo fare. Dont know if theres a Locavore in BGC but theres one just across the river. Try also Mesa, Pamana, Romulo Cafe, Kanin Club, Lampara, Aristocrat...
Whoa! That's more than ample feast for one person Mergim. Degustation, hey! Enjoy Mergim. 😁🎉😋
When do we see merkim
Glad u enjoyed filipino dish at Manam, Mergim! Enjoy and safe travels always
I can combine all of the food in one spoon and it would taste amazing.
Oh my goodness. That’s too yummy to watch. 😊
I recommend to try also and compare the taste of different types of sisig like Grilled Pork Sisig "My favorite", Tofu Sisig, Tuna Sisig, Dinakdakan sisig, Pusit(squid) Sisig
You don't have to go far Mergim. I suggest you try MESA at SM AURA not only because of it's proximity to your place but the food and ambiance is good as well particularly this time of the year when it's beginning to feel like Christmas.

I've tasted everything in Mesa's menu, the only item I found to be exceptional is their 2 ways Laing. Everything else is mediocre or slightly above average. Manam is still a tier above Mesa.

You've been quite eating common Filipino foods already, Mergim. Why not try to find and taste these other very good Filipino dishes: Lechon Paksiw, Pochero, Tapang Kalabaw, Sinigang sa Miso, Chicken Curry, Beef Mechado, Kaldeteta, and Afritada. The Nicker Bucker is best compared to Halo-Halo. These can all be found in the city as well. You can ask your Filipino friends about this too. Hehehe. Enjoy your food hunting, discovery, and reviews.
as a Filipino it still surprises me when i hear foreigners say that they crave Filipino food lol
Filipino food is so delicious
I have yet to try a buffet at Barbara’s Heritage Restaurant in Intramuros.
Lechon kawali is LIFE!
Mateo’s (A family restaurant serving Spanish Filipino cuisine) in New Manila, near Robinson’s Mall
Do OG Filipino restaurants. Start with Aristocrat, Max’s,Sarsa, Locavore, Abe, etc.
Good morning Mergim, watching you eat makes me drool and hungry😮 This is another awesome content! very entertaining, mouth-watering, made us drool content! 😊❤
❤️❤️❤️ MANAM 😋😋😋
Please try the "Singing Waitress" restaurant.
try MESA restaurant
love your honest review!
You try Singing Cooks and Waiter resto in Malate Manila. It’s fun!
I suggest the restaurant Jerry's Grill. I would order the grilled giant squid and the adpbo rice
Nice going man, enjoy your stay! 👍
first sisig recipe from pampanga has no egg in/on it. when other provinces copied it, they added their own ingredients thats why some has egg. but for us here in central luzon we prefer it w/out the egg, especially if the pork and chicken liver was grilled not fried.
Love & appreciate how you try to incorporate the word "Po"!
Enjoy filipino food
Other Filipino restaurants you may want to try: Kanin Klub, Max's restaurant, and Kuya J's.
Damn you Mergim! Now i just want to jump over to manam!
If you like lechon kawali, you will love crispy pata.
Tres Kare-Kare I think the best Kare-kare in the country. It is located in SM North Edsa Annex, try it. I think you would like it.
Hi Mergim, loved the video! My wife & I really enjoy Manam (in Greenbelt). If you ever have desert there, try the buko pie with cream it’s really good! Another really good Filipino food restaurant it Tatatito in Makati….. Try the Kalderetang Fried Chicken and try their Avocado Shake (So good)!! One other really good little place is: The Marketplace at Ayala Triangle…. order the pork roast belly and the sisig (get it warmed up)…. You will enjoy it! We are Canadian but my wife is originally from the Philippines so we go back every year. Love your vlogs!!!! 😊❤️👍
Wow.all looks delicious.enjoy.🎉
Hi MERGIM, wow namit gid ba! Mananam Ang "Manam"! Am salivating just watching you devouring the resto' s specialties. ❤❤❤
Wow luv it
Fair review! Now I’m hungry. Thanks for sharing.
The food is delicious!! I enjoyed the watermelon sinigang, crispy palabok, and everything else!! You can always take out the food for later or next day.
Goodness….watching this while I’m on my 20 hour IF. It’s ok I have 4 more hours to go 😂
Nice meal❤
Try Max's, Kuya J, and Savory next time! 😍

Greetings from San Francisco. Am glad I opened ure vlog…I have a condo fully furnished, right around the corner of ure condo ure renting. We visit our condo once a year for 30 days. We have a caretaker who visit our unit as I have no courage to have it leased or rented. I agree with you and we’re very lucky to be able to acquire one there. Everything is there and so convenient. Good luck in your adventure & God bless you🙏
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. 👍
Goodmorning Mergim😘
try Locavore filipino restaurant there at BGC.
Love reading the comments, so I will know where to go, where to eat, when I go visit the Philippines later this year 😋😋😋
You should try Limabaga77, Provenciano, Romulo Cafe, and Hapag. If you want to try one of the oldest resto go to Little Quiapo and The Aristocrat
On the same mall 3rd floor I think is Fely J's. Check that out!
Crisostomo is at 7th Ave corner 30th street
Love Pinoy food
Palabok is eaten with squeezed calamansi
I BE IN MANILA IN FEB MERGIM. I CAN FINALLY SEE BGC. HOPE WE CAN MEET FOR DINNER. I WANT TO EAT THERE MANAM.❤🎉
