Thanks for watching!

I’m from Negros and I must say that FEATR did a great job in showcasing Iloilo dishes. This is the kind of vlog that we like. Feels authentic and nostalgic especially these foods are so similar with our dishes here. Kudos to Erwan who ate for hours and hours! Kudos to your team for coming up with this feature.

Iloilo is the best place to live. Urban planning is immaculate. I hope I can return home and retire in Iloilo - banwang pinalangga.

Never seen anyone showcased Iloilo in this light. I’m from Iloilo born and raised but watching this video makes me feel Im foreign. 😅 Thanks FEART worth watching and subscribing too 🫡💜🫶

Thank you for this well deserved feature of Ilonggo cuisine, FEATR! Deserved because Iloilo City is now the Philippines’ official nominee for UNESCO’s Creative City for Gastronomy!

As an Ilonggo student, I must say that the food here is never disappointing:) cheap or expensive, the quality is still good.

Never thought the day would come for our food to be showcased authentically in a well known channel. As an ilongga, I really appreciate all that you do to include our city. Thank u for always sharing the Philippines in your channel

My husband and I can attest to the unique experience, food and nature Iloilo has to offer

Good choice!

Try grilling mushrooms in "labog" wrapped with banana leaves. Pair that with "malidu" rice and "pinakas" dipped in "sinamak"; then eat "kinamot-style". Super duper!

I like how eloquent Erwan is. In a sea of food vlogger wannabes, he's a breath of fresh air.

Basta Ilonggo food manamet gid😋😋😋

I'm from Negros Occidental but had my college education in Iloilo. I sooo miss the food and the simple people of Iloilo❤❤❤

When I went to college in Iloilo the dish that I would love to taste again is Callos… love it!!!

That is true Ilonggo hospitality. We never take no for an answer when it comes to feeding our guests! That's how we show appreciation and ❤. We keep saying kaon ta ( let's eat, kaon na (come and eat), or always ask you ka kaon ka na ( have you eaten yet?)? So when this happens, just have a small bite of everything, or we will be sad if you refuse. 😂

Iloilo offers the best food. You'll keep longing for it. I have been waiting for Ilonggo dish to be featured this way. Iloilo has so much to offer.

Ilonggos aim to achieve umami taste. We don't cook food sweet, sour or bitter but we mix them. It takes time to master mixing those tastes to achieve the flavor we desire

i like this guy (Erwan), hindi siya maarte at hindi mayabang. Maraming Salamat sa pag respect mo sa aming Probinsya sa iloilo❤️🙏❤️

My Lolo is half spanish and this is his hometown. I never got the chance to visit this place but I hope I could visit iloilo after I graduate. I want to visit some of these restaurants.

Love that you tried the carinderia because this is where you can eat the authentic ilonggo dish

Chef Tibong reminds me so much of Chef Claude Tayag, you can really feel the passion with how they describe every bit of ingredients

It's almost a 30-minute video but it felt like it is just 5 minutes. This is just spectacular. I love that you featured other cuisines and not just batchoy which I always see from vloggers coming to Iloilo. It's a great way to showcase that Ilonggo dishes are at par or even beyond some of the dishes from other parts of the country. Thank you for this Erwan.

I lived in iloilo when i was 7-10yrs old. I still remember dishes like ginataang langka with pork, soup with batuan and batchoy. Moved to Mindanao & Luzon but never had those ever since. Wish to go back someday.

You have to go to an Ilonggo dominant neighborhood in Mindanao like Southern Cotabato.

I'M SO HAPPY LOLA NORA'S EATERY WAS FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO! I used to go to University of Iloilo and Nora's was just across the street from my school, we are a half day class only and after class before going to the gym, I always eat at Nora's to get that homemade taste and feel at home kind of vibe especially from the Lola's serving the place. This video definitely took me down memory lane, thanks to Erwan and the staff for featuring our beloved city of love.

I like when you said "there's a lambing touch in the food" which is really true. ROBERTOS SIOPAO, ALICIA'S BATCHOY are a must try. If there is next time try to visit the old churches of iloilo. I am so proud that you featured Iloilo. I am proud to be ilonggo.

Iloilo City may not offer that much wild adventures like any other cities in the Philippines but it can definitely give you great FOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Thank you Erwan for visiting this part of the country. Now you know Iloilo and Western Visayas as a whole *WILL* give Pampanga a serious run for its money as a culinary destination annnnd well of course anyone can do a beach side trip on any of the provinces as an added bonus . 😉😉 And *kudos* to Chef Tibong for such a perfect culinary guide and patiently explaining on this episode whats being served on the table. And oh I forgot, Thank You Chef for elevating Ilonggo cuisine to the national counciousness. I often see or read about him doing some explainer on Ilonggo cuisine. I dunno what's exactly is next for this series but there are things to see and eat on each of this region's provinces. 👍🏻👍🏻 on this episode 😉!!

Hello Erwin been watching forever, How can I purchase Chef Rafael Tibong Jardeleza Jr. cook book 📚. I live in the USA and it’s difficult to purchase a treasured taste.

Hi Erwan. I'm from Santa Barbara and my wife is from Cavite but we both live abroad. Last month I brought her together with her family to Iloilo and they enjoyed the food so much. Thanks for raising awareness about Ilonggo cuisine and I hope you loved your stay there.

I was smiling the whole time watching the video. I'm born and raised in Aklan, but having this video makes me miss more the Panay Island! Indeed Iloilo is calling! Thanks Featr!

Thanks for featuring my Mom's birthplace home....I know she's smiling in heaven.❤

Dried fish goods are a staple in my baon list everytime I visit my relatives in Manila, alongside packets of known Ilonggo sweets, i.e. piyaya, biscocho, galletas, etc.

This channel deserves more recognition. Erwan and his team's effort is 💯💯💯

I love Ilonggo food,anywhere you go the food is delicious and it's not expensive either. I wanna go back, with a side trip to Guimaras and the wonderful mangoes ❤

I am from Iloilo.. And I am proud of this feature. Chef Tbong is the best. Thank You Erwan and team.

Living in Iloilo for 4 years throughout college has taught me that the best food in Iloilo can be found in the carenderias, some of which have been present for decades. You can go to place that serves La Paz batchoy since the 50's to a carenderia that specialized in fried chicken since the 40's all in the same area. What I miss most is eating bingka in Molo Plaza while peoplewatching.

We grew up with homecooked food, even in our carinderias. We always look for home-cooked meals. Laswa and sinugba whenever I go back home. They say Ilonggos are among those who are the hardest to please when it comes to food because we grew up with one of our parents who cooks, with the recipes passed on for generations.

E di WOW! Dahlia said!😅 Thank you for showing us the richness of Iloilo! BRW Bukaka is Kamatsile in Tagalog I love it fruit that’s part of my childhood. Now that I live in California for 5 decades I miss them. God bless and keep on giving us all the best part of the Philippines cuisine!🙏♥️🙏

Awesome to watched that #ilonggo cuisines are being appreciated by one of the best chef and food critic in the country today. Thanks a bunch #Erwan for featuring us on your channel. So raw and this humbles us.

Thanks for this guide! I’m asking my friends from Iloilo to take me and my family on an eating tour. The food looks amazing!

Kudos to Erwan for being able to eat all that food in one day❤

Love a man with a passion of foods and of course good in cooking

I miss Iloilo. Currently living in 🇨🇦. Whenever I meet folks from other provinces here in Canada, they always ask, “oh what is your city known for?” and I always tell them, just come and visit and I will give you a gastronomic tour. Next time I’ll add that they need to come visit in stretchy pants! 😂

Aroz de valenciana or just valenciana like we call it are staple in parties from birthdays to fiesta celebrations. And not just in the cities but in the smaller baranggays of different towns in the province. It’s a food that brings back a lot of memories too. Together with the molo soup which is my lola’s specialty. I miss my hometown even more after watching this. 🥺

living here now in Manila, food back home in Iloilo is really just different. especially yung mga sabaw na main dishes is cooked differently. my fave for sure is the nilaga, our own version of puchero, KBL, tinola, our home’s staple pinamalhan, and the seafood of course, it could be just crabs and dried fish for days back in my hometown. so happy that you visited local eateries and not just get some batchoy and stuff 😅 but overall such a great docu. “kagwapo gid ya bala sang bana ni Anne” hahaha

Grateful for your visit to Iloilo City! Your presence brought warmth to our streets. Glad you enjoyed our food.

Bisaya ako pero ang sarap talaga ng mga pagkain ng mga Ilonggo. ❤

I really feel like they stepped up the quality of their videos even more since Erwan won his James Bear Award :D always a great job!

Iloilo has one of the best food you can eat. Especially with seafoods, you can never go wrong. Lots and lots of foods that you must try. Manamit gd ❤

I do not usually leave a comment but I cannot help not to leave one on this. So happy that Iloilo is finally feautured because it deserves to be. Will defo try some of the featured foods when in vacation there. I am so proud to be an Ilonggo. Thank you Chef Tibong and thank you Erwan/team😊 Ilonggo gid! City of Love❤

the food haven capital of the philippines like no other Im proud of my City❤❤❤ a City that rich in history and herritage where the famous. Ilonggos always stands out in many things

..cant wait to visit my family in iloilo, grabe yung pag lalaway ko sobra! I make sure bibisitahin ko yang mga place na yan!! You are such amazing food lover blogger, clever host, chef etc!!!

This is the only place I want to go back again and again because of its food ❤

You’re definitely right Erwan, food in Iloilo is so varied in flavors, and their chicken is undeniably one of the best. Nothing fancy only the basic condiments is enough to satisfy your palate. Thank you for sharing these gastronomic adventure, feel like going back to Iloilo again… Unforgettable Mae

I miss Iloilo. 😢 It’s true that Ilonggo food is not too salty/sweet, the taste comes in between. FEATR should try buko pie at Nang Palang’s at Trapiche, Oton. Also, kansihan carenderia/stalls are everywhere in Iloilo, so pls try pata and patotin. Don’t forget KBL (kadyos, baboy, langka) as well very traditional! ❤

proud ilonggo here... thank you sir for featuring iloilo local dishes❤️

Proud Ilonggo! Thank you for showing Ilonngo's best! 🎉🎉🎉

Made me miss my Life in Iloilo. The people and the Food is superb. 🤩

Thank you erwan for showcasing iloilo my hometown 🙏❤️😇🌎

Thank you erwan!! You finally featured food of Iloilo City. I am so happy that you went to Nora’s eatery. It is our family’s favorite eatery if we go to the city from our hometown, Passi City. I felt bad that you did not taste adobado alimosan which is my favorite. But I am glad you had sinabawan fish head , inihaw na baboy, the ensaladang puso ng saging and the radish and ampalaya salad. The eatery is really the place that people from all walks of life would eat before Tatoy’s came in the picture. Now you know our family’s secret. 😂😂 You need to try Sobriedo’s batchoy (batchoy ni jasmine) in sta. Barbar, seafood at Tytche and in Bebot and Mila’s. In the coastal. Siopao in kongkee and their crispy bihon. Also please explore the foods of the province of Iloilo, to our hometowns. We also have our distinct foods that we can call our own. Enjoy!! ❤❤

Chef Tibong is the best part of this video. His love for Ilonggo cuisine is unmeasurable. He's really an expert. He really knows what he is saying

Kudos to Chef Tibong for bringing you to the places that represents what Ilonggo homemade cooking truly is. Makes me missed Authentic Ilonggo food and my hometown.

Why do we negrense call ourselves ilonggos when we weren't raised and do not live in Iloilo? If our ninuno came from Iloilo, isn't it na they're the ones who are ilonggos lang? Pero kita who were born and raised in Negros, I don't think we're ilonggos. They have a different manner of speaking and way of life than those who were born and raised in Bacolod or Negros.

Thanks Erwan and Featr for featuring ILOILO. Keep promoting filipino cuisine and tradition for the whole world to see. Bless you and miss my hometown too

I may sound bias but watching something about Western Visayas, I can't take my eyes on it. No intention of skipping nor stop watching it. So proud Ilongga here! Thanks Featr for featuring Iloilo. p.s. Central Market was my go-to place when I was in college. Mercados really help me relaxed, sounds weird but I really love going to markets. Hihi

Welcome to my province. Iloilo is unstoppable when it comes to food. Thank you for this feature

Gotta love the work put into these videos... if non-Filipinos ask what Filipino food is, just recommend this channel.. great job showcasing the wealth of dishes we have in the Philippines

I'm amazed how much Erwan can eat. Namit gid ya pagkaon sa Iloilo!

Yes I only saw these all in erwans vlog. My husband is an ilonggo but I never been here yet. I want to come here in this amazing food trip places. I love it.

my father is an ilonggo. my mom is a great cook but i love how his version of adobo is made (more on sweetness than savory). and yes! they're malambing. they get mad but they still sound sweet 🤣

Iloilo City is the first and only UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy in the Philippines. Go Iloilo! Namit gid! 🎉❤

I love him and Goma's vlog very authentic. Hoping for their collab soon.

how can Erwan look so sweaty and still feel fresh-y? hahaha. i hope the second part would FEATR food from the province. Let's go, Iloilo! fantastic episode btw.

Iloilo has many great families, their cooking skills are better than those you can eat in public places. I highly recommend their sisig, Batchoy, Dinuguan, tinolang bangus and humba🤤👌

Now you make me crave for my Ilonggo dish. Nagalaway ako. Hehe. Kudos to you Eurwan for trying and introducing our local dish to everyone.

FEATR’s contents are really on a different level. They may not always be “viral” or “popular” but that’s awesome quality there.

Thank u Erwan for featuring our beloved city.More power to u and ur team!♥️

Thank you Erwan for really showing it in details- I am from estancia one of the best supplier for all seafoods and can attest that it is one of the most delicious food truly came from Iloilo ❤❤❤

Amazing! I'm growing homesick with all these places we always frequented working in the nearby government office then. Thanks for featuring Iloilo City Erwan. More power!

1:58 I used to live in a Hiligaynon speaking part of Mindanao. Thought this one is called "Kamunsil" and the term "bukaka" is used as a replacement for the word "hinog" when describing the fruits.

Im from Bacolod. As Ilonggo myself I love Iloilo food. Most of the food are very similar to Bacolod dishes. Daw guin gutom ako sa mga food ah. Sabroso!
