The trick is to submerge the spoon up to the bottom of the glass and very slowly mix the halo halo without lifting the spoon. In that way there be little or no spillage at all.

Thanks!! Also Jollibee IS the holy grail, but not because it's very life-changing delicious. It's a nostalgia thing. Filipinos grew up eating Jollibee, but when they have to work abroad, they'll miss it like they miss their family and friends back home. Nowhere outside of the Philippines can you ever find the taste of Jollibee except when of course when you're buying food from a Jollibee store. The reason Jollibee stores exist abroad is for the large diasporas of Filipinos that are craving for it. Jollibee heard it, realized they had potential expat costumers abroad, and so they put up stores in select countries. But I do think that for the exact same reason, Jollibee stuck with the recipe even abroad, so yes, it's nonsense when they say that the Jollibee here is tastier than abroad. And yes, our spaghetti here is always sweet. Even our KFC and McDo have similarly sweet spaghetti because that's the taste Filipinos grow up loving. The recipe is extremely different from the Italian spaghetti most countries are used to. Here, spaghetti is a dish mostly geared towards kids, why is why it's sweeter and filled with ground meat. In fact, I never knew spaghetti was supposed to taste like tomato sauce until I went out of the country. For most Filipinos my age, we find that kind of spaghetti too sour. And unfortunately, in the recent years the chicken in all fastfood shrunk--not just Jollibee. You'll notice it in our McDonald's and KFC as well. As someone who grew up eating from these fast food chains, I can confidently say the chicken parts used to be 2-3 times than what you get now. But I guess it's an inflation thing. Even the peach mango pie used to fill up that whole packet, now it's just half of it. But hey, look at the price. It's only a couple of dollars. While it may seem a bit pricey for Filipinos, I know how foreigners regularly spend 10-20 dollars a meal.

I also personally think Jollibee is just the Filipino representation of fastfood like how LA does In-n-out. It's definitely not life changing but it does have a Filipino qualities in it (Like how they do Filipino spaghetti) so it became a staple recommendation by Filipino's. However, the next time you go, I definitely would recommend for you to try the next time you come here are Nilagang Baka, Tortang Talong, Banana-que, Kwek-Kwek, or even Sinigang again, but try it on Pork! For dessert, I feel like you'd also love Biko! There's so much more other than the most recommended ones

from a filipino who lived in LA, i would say that having jollibee in the philippines is truly different! (especially when its what people mostly eat there LOL) im also glad you got to try a bunch of specialties from the philippines!!! you honestly got to try a lot more than me, and im super happy you enjoyed it there!! edit: not usually that person, but appreciate the likes 😭😭

One thing about why Filipinos strongly recommends Taho to try is because we used to chase Taho street vendor every morning because they walk so fast. The moment you hear them shout "TAHO", we run outside of our homes and chase them because one moment they're in front of your house, you blink one time, they're 1 block away from you LOL. Definetely nostalgia. Plu, with streetvendor Taho, we can bargain with them and plead lol.

THE DAN HENG PART MADE ME LAUGH OUT OF DEATH LMAO

As someone who is half Filipino, this makes me so incredibly happy! I love that you enjoyed our food, you definitely should try palabok and pancit bihon next time. Those are my two favorite dishes :)

Glad you enjoyed trying Filipino food, Ant! Also a little info about Halo-halo, you really gotta put in just a bit work of further crushing and mixing the ice with all the ingredients so the flavors come together. You may have found the ice to be challenging to crush but when you are eating it outside on good summer day, it actually is advantageous to have it like that so it doesn't melt right away and you can still do the "halo" or mixing stuff for the full experience or bring it in your house on time to mix it.

For the pancit canton, you should mix the oil and the soysauce first with the noodles so that the powder won’t clump. Also leave a very little amount of noodle water (don’t strain the water too much).

your way of entertaining people is on another level!! Kudos!!

tip: if u were to try halo-halo again make sure to mix it all together before eating it (halo-halo actually directly translates to mix-mix), so it can get quite interactive especially with the hard shaved ice that you got

It's called "halo-halo" because you're supposed to mix it as it is "mix-mix" in English. When you don't mix it right away you'll get that clumpy solid ice as a result. Please do try it again next time! Thank you for visiting us here Ant!!

In terms of chicken size, Mang Inasal would be your best bet the next time you come to the Philippines. And I totally agree about how glorified Filipino Jollibee's are in foreigners! It's good but yes, def not life changing like you said 😂. Even the portion size of the chicken is so small compare to it's other chains internationally!

True Filipinos are obviously very proud of their country and stuff and they love telling foreigners about the food most specially. It tastes great for us Filipinos coz the foods were made for our taste buds. And if ya'll don't remember, Jollibee was said to be catering the local's taste buds in whichever country its located, especially the filipino foods. Also those snacks he had were mostly originating from foreign foods and they're still so proud of it

as a filipino, thank you for spreading our culture!! i don't see much representation when it comes to the philippines so i thank you for shedding light on it!

There is also Taho in the Malls or in Supermarkets @ SM or Ayala Malls or Robinsons. You just go to the dairy section or ask a sales staff. But it is better to eat the warm one from a Taho Vendor on the Street since it is fresher or freshly cooked and not refrigerated. When being produced, Tokwa is soy at the bottom part, Tofu is in the middle and Taho is on top. The most tender or softest part of the cooked soy.

The technique to really enjoy sinigang if its too sour for you is to eat the soup with the fish/shrimp, veggies and the rice. You can add a bit of patis (fish sauce) too.

9:02 Calamansi? Never heard of it. 😂💀

As a filipino thank for visiting our country and i hope you enjoyed it

youll always be my favorite streamer.😊 ty for the amazing videos!

hey ant, i can tell that you guys really did your research before doing this video, and its not just some simple mukbang video like most people do. makes us filipinos feel that our culture is appreciated. thank you

Yup, there's always the debate between Adobo and Sinigang on which one should be the national dish. I'm team Sinigang since I love how sour it is, and the veggies soaking up the soup is just great. Not that I hate Adobo, I just prefer Sinigang. Adobo is savory and really gets into the meat. Both dishes use both seafood and land animals ,and I do think they both equally deserve the title. (But also ,food in the Philippines differ depending on the region so exploring the countrysides is a MUST imo)

Editing is fire and content… *chef kiss*

The Dan Heng and aot slip-in makes me happy as a fan of both (esp dan heng, I live for him)

Manam was a good choice for Filipino resto! Glad you took the time to try these food out. This also really shows the difference in taste when you grow up from a different culture and how you liked the ones that was more familiar to you. Still, glad you got to experience our food!! Edit: also yes, pancit canton is the goat 😂 best noodle snack for life, as for Jollibee, you can have your chicken changed if you just ask nicely for a specific part

I love the fact you flew 7292 just to eat sinigang and jollie bee HUGE RESPECT

I recently went back to Philippines (where I grew up) and I realized actually stores like kfc, McDonald’s and normal fast foods shops are also quite different there! Since Philippines love rice there’s always rice there!

Cracklings is my favorite pancit canton is really good too also i recommend piatos try spicy and blue one its really good i remember eating at jollibee i would cry to my mom so we can eat there again

I appreciate you actually looking up food history a bit. Yes taho is douhua and it’s one of those dishes we in asia almost ALL have with our own local twists here and there (Baguio had strawberry syrup/jam and others might have ube and pandan) and I always wonder when it will become the next big thing to take over western markets… but people aren’t really a fan yet of tofu. Maybe once they find out the texture is like pudding…. Who knows? The reason taho is such an important staple to us is cause of the childhood memories of waking up early to the merchants screaming “tahoooo” and us only being able to eat it if we wake up on time. But I love how you can get it at the mall too. Cause I never wake up on time 😭😭😭

this is making my tummy go brrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Antony, there is even a Filipino Resto that offers Eat-All-You-Can Snacks, Barrio Fiesta which costs Php300+. You can try their Super Crunchy Crispy Pata (Deep Fried Scrumptions Pig's Legs), but not included in the snacks. It is at regular price.

Sinigang actually has more variety than adobo. What you ate is Shrimp Sinigang which taste very different from pork sinigang which taste very different from beef sinigang and also from chicken and also fish. Then it will taste very different also when they change the souring agent which can be Tamarind, Kamias, Calamansi, Mango, Guava etc. so yeah try other versions. And also same, I don't like my sinigang too sour. I like it mine mild. So depending on which person who cooked it the sour level varies. Usually Restaurant Sinigangs are very sour unless its Guava Sinigang.

If you’re ever craving the instant pancit canton again, you can definitely find them at your local asian grocery store (or even seafood city if you’re near one!) back home in the states!

so happy seeing someone go eat at the philippines just to eat food, especially if its jollibee and other

For Halo-halo, I will suggest Bebang's Halo-halo. Our visitors from Seattle really liked it. It's not the typical halo-halo that they ate before as they are using shaved milk, instead of ice. But since you mentioned that you're lactose intolerant, I'm just not sure if you will enjoy it.

He literally travel around the world to try foods for us

the "beef" with adobo and sinigang is [in my opinion] because of the origins of the two dishes! adobo is from spain/mexico and has spanish/mexican influence, and sinigang is technically "pure" filipino, and both dishes are staple foods in the Philippines that's served for dinner regularly:)

I'd say adobo is also pure filipino as well, in the sense that it was a food preservation technique used in precolonial times. The connection to Spain/Mexico is more with the name, since it comes from the spanish "adobar" or to marinate. Both are still good tho

You can actually cook sinigang without making it too sour for your liking. (I love cookiing adobo and sinigang, it's so satisfying to eat food that you've cooked yourself) I love this dish and I'm glad you've tried it!

We definitely hope you enjoyed your stay in the Philippines!!! Mabuhay!!

All these just makes me hungry than be interested in your opinion. Now I really want to buy some

I am so happy you went to the Philippines! Jollibee is delicious btw! And also Sinigang means sour soup so it’s meant to be pretty sour. But maybe a bit more rice would help and also I agree that sometimes it’s a bit *too* sour for my taste but I am also on team adobo and my dad *LOVES* making like every week-

Well Jollibee most of the time is just for comfort food and I agree with you it's kinda overhype on socials. The taste and how it's cooked can be a hit or miss since it's fast food. You should try the other flavors of Pancit Canton which is for me the best comfort food.

As a Filipino and a subscriber, thank you for traveling a long mile just to eat our food, makes me want to cry 😭

Tip didnt mention if you ate "kare-kare" with a major thing. If you have the chance eat kare kare with either salt or shrimp paste for a salty touch. You can add as much salt ir shrimp paste you want btw. Oh yeah when you eat halo halo you have to mix everything so the ice actually has flavor. That where it gets its name Halo halo = Mix mix

The things that i would say is very delicious would definitely be jbee spaghetti and the pie. Their chicken is just alright, its the gravy that gives the taste to it. I remember being young and i always leave a small portion of the rice and the gravy then mix them together.
