They won't understand "I'm doing a full lap." Instead say, "I going around first," or "I'll check everything first before deciding." Pansit is a general term for a noodle dish of which there are several varieties - bihon (rice noodles), canton (wheat), palabok (shrimp and pork, thin rice), malabon (shrimp and pork, thick noodles mixed), sotanghon (glass noodles), miki, luglog, molo, efuven.

This food court is very nice, I have been there twice, but it is better to be with more people there as you said. But I guess you still wasn't in "Mist" restaurant not far from Alona which is very famous and very nice for video or photos to make there, as their food is not only good but very fancy looking, especially nice for video is their Mystique Kebab if i remember correct name of it. Another spot worth visit is more like hidden gem, it is small cafe bar kind off in Tagbilaran, they serve very nice burgers made from fresh meat, but what is nice there is view it is kind like over water and there is even sitting with table and hammock made on tree, name of this place in google map is "BECCA Cafe x Bistro", it is hidden behind small food court from main streat.

Wow, so much food to taste. Food lovers will love this place. Tuna panga and Kinilaw is the favorites.

Some people add coconut milk to kinilaw to make it creamy. Others mayonnaise to achieve the same effect. Also onions are generally just there for flavor and garnish. Most don't eat them.

My No. 1 reason to love Philippines is the food. The beautiful white sand beaches with crystal clear water comes in second (me being a foodie haha). If you visit Bacolod, there is a similar place, Bazket BCD. As far I can recall there are only stalls and no restaurants. The must try from there would be the peking duck from Ho Mei Do but it's only available during Friday and weekends and you better go early otherwise there won't be any left! On my next visit I'll also try wagyu cansi from Vaca Japonesa (also located in Bazket).

Sprinkle first the kinilaw with the calamansi, it lessens the fishy taste and makes the food taste better and fresher. Calamansi is the local lime, much better actually, many foreigners love it as juice. It's very rich in vitamin c. :}

Hi Jonathan, wow you know a lot of Bisaya words already. I'm always looking forward to your vlogs. Just keep up the good work. God bless ❤️

Hi Jonathan, I love your Vlogs and how you really interact with everyone, trying to really learn how things are for your own benefit as well as your viewers. From your videos you're from a small town in the US also. I posit to you that American small towns like where you are from have the exact same values as where you were raised, except when people stopped being friendly with each other. Your equivalent of a small town is the Filipino Baranggay. If you know someone or a viewer in the Philippines who can invite you to a Traditional Filipino Fiesta or Christmas or New Year and have them show you how each and every house knows and values each other (although of course some people don't like each other). I think you'll realize how everyone in the world is alike in so many ways. Merry x'mas. Mack btw: Ceviche or Kinilaw is a side dish and best served when the fish is really fresh and not frozen.
