good morning today we are in Cebu City and today we're going to do a little bit of sightseeing but
also like usual we're going to be doing a bit of eating along the way as well yeah for sure
the weather is so much better today the sun is actually shining see so I really really hope
this sticks because we haven't had the best luck but we're super excited to be here anyway [Music]
That lechon and halo halo we had yesterday was so good
That was the best we've had so far which is surprising because I think it was one of the cheapest ones yeah it was about half
price of the one we paid in Manila yeah anyway it was delicious so
plenty more of those to come at some point you know I've been thinking about that lechon I think
it'll be perfect in the sandwich maybe some other meats in there as well some stuffing
making like a proper Christmas sandwich you know we're heading to our first stop of the day and
we haven't eaten any breakfast yet even though it is included in the hotel but you want to see
if we can find some sort of street food kind of breakfast or coffee it doesn't seem to be
as much of a street food vibe in the Philippines as maybe we're used to in like Malaysia Thailand
Cambodia but it is well from what I've heard Cebu City is the self-proclaimed food capital
of the Philippines I don't know how true that is but I'm excited to try a lot of foods the jeepneys
here in Cebu City look very different so the ones in manila manila was very loud and bigger
these seem like smaller huge Vans not loud not loud at all the ones in Manila everyone's been
calling them the King of the Road because there's so loud you can't even hear them coming we've been
staying in an area of Cebu City called Capital sites anyway we've walked about 25 minutes now
where we've started to come to uh way busier area yeah right this is clearly where everyone else is
yeah because there's a lot of stuff happening we haven't quite spotted any food yet a lot of
people doing keys not that many people doing food just yet we'll keep looking well we are
walking towards a sort of older path of town don't know if we're quite there yet but it's
definitely much louder here it feels a little bit like Chinatown in Manila a little bit yeah
good morning how are you um I don't know what anything is but this looks good what do you
want maybe one of these who else yeah this one that looks so good that's definitely Ube right I
don't know what anything is well pick anything purple fair point one of these ones yea that's it
we've secured the goods don't have any coffee yet but definitely some pastries it's our first time
actually going to a bakery in the Philippines yeah and we've heard it's really popular yeah
but we have to know everything ube I was just gonna say and pretty much everything we chose has some
sort of purple in it which leads me to believe it would be Ube ah look at this that smells so good
these look similar to the ones we had in Chinatown in Manila oh my
god oh looks so good wow I know we don't overreact usually but that's really good
and the last thing was this thing
it's just kind of bread with um I don't think that's ube that's something else oh
yeah anyway the 28 pesos for all of that 28. whoa so good let's put these away let's go get the coffee
seems like finding an iced coffee it's pretty hard to come by especially in the clothing area
I think we've kind of found the clothing section of the market well we also have
been walking for about half an hour because we always drink the sachet coffees anyway at
home so we want to get something a little bit different like an iced coffee when we're out
um but we could revert to a pack of coffee if we have to I mean we do like them we do like them
loud music it kind of gives a Vibe though you're like walking around kind of bopping
we've come to a place called the basilico Del Santo Nino we were just walking past them
so loads of people inside it seems like yeah I saw the balloons first and I was like oh what's
there it seems like a very popular place yeah it's loads of statues of Jesus Christ
as a child maybe that's why there's a lot of people here now it's still a Christmas
period as we're filming this yeah Christmas is finished but it's still those days afterwards
yeah between New Year's and Christmas yeah it's it's very pretty but should we go inside
if you told me we were in Sicily right now I'd believe you in Italy right south of Italy
the fountain outside the structure of the building and then obviously the fact that
it's a basilica which obviously Sicilians are extremely Christian we just went inside and I
don't know the terminology of basilica but it looked like a church or something really
religious inside where people were praying and there was actually some sections where
we were not even allowed to film anyway so we just didn't yeah but it was very pretty a lot
of families in there it was quite like a wholesome Vibe yeah on we go on we go
Iced coffee, large please. two
[Music] thank you it's quite the hot day today yeah oh it's nice yeah it's really hot today we
haven't had a hot day in a while and we haven't walked around a big city in a while either this
looks like the milkiest coffee it took us a while but we finally found some form of
coffee yeah you're right there's a lot of milk it's quite strong though yeah it is tasty let's
go let's go let's go it's not comparable to Lao Cambodia or Vietnam coffee this one anyway not
this one but I think I don't think we can say that all of the coffees in the Philippines are
cut from the same cloth right no we need to just try more yeah if you have any good recommendations
uh local coffee Styles I don't know if they have anything like that in the Philippines because like
in Malaysia for example there was like a coffee C coffee a coffee b they had like different sort
of constituents to it anyway I'm just rambling my coffee let us know yeah let us know [Music]
we are by the way in Fort San Pedro which is built by the same guy that built the fort that we were
in Manila Fort Santiago and his name is Miguel Lopez legaspi oh yes is that it yes that was
ill have to fact check that when I'm editing this video but yeah it looks this looks fancy it's a
fancy fort yeah the fort part I suppose is some of these sections not a fort expert but this is
like trees and yeah flowers should we take a look around and it was uh 30 pesos each to come in
yeah that's not bad yeah I'm just gonna quickly fact check myself now because I
did see something over there is Miguel Lopez de Legazpi I wonder if he built this one second
or first because I hope I'm not offending anyone here this one's nicer no yeah I mean
I would assume all this Greenery and stuff like that wasn't here when he first built
it because he wouldn't have been like let's make it really nice it was built for a purpose
I don't know I'm not a fort expert he's a nice looking forward yeah I'll give him that
this fort and the one in Manila were built in the 16th century both of them yeah
okay oh yeah so that makes you wonder which one was first but I think it's meant to be
you know looking out towards the water there but there's been buildings built. Those are boats.
that's not a boat that's a building that's not about that's building it's not but
you can't see the water is what I'm trying to say this is the perfect day for this yes okay
I'm sweating a little bit more than I should do but don't judge me it is beautiful it's a little
bit overcast from time to time not anymore I heard you I have to charge my sun battery okay [Music]
uh you know I've just seen here what tree no yeah it's like calamansi tree well just because they look like calamansi
yes you don't know the tree looks like yeah they must grow oh actually there's a sign here calamonding
that's probably very calamansi I think we have to fact check this because there's a
lot of calamansi around we've seen a lot of calamansi in certain dishes because I think
it grows here a lot more than limes especially a lot more than lemons it is calamansi is calamansi
aren't we smart look at us figuring out citrus fruits. green fingers oh yeah oh yes over here
oh it smells so good we were just passing another couple and they were like oh yeah there's loads of
plumeria around you should smell some it smells amazing you have to smell this hmm it smells
like a flower thank you oh you're so beautiful I know probably suit you better you reckon right
[Music] enough history time for some food yeah
yeah always good time for some food and technically all we've had today is an
iced coffee and some pastries so we need some real food yeah I'm not complaining though no
I'm super happy about it we have more. I like the hairpiece thank you it smells so good
I feel Hawaiian
We're now in ayala center. looks like a lot of foods we want to try in this mall let's find the food section shall we?
yes excuse me where is the cafe Laguna outside okay thank you she says it wasn't even in this
building we have to go outside there was an arrow pointing this way which was pointing
to The Terraces so I would assume it's like inside outside kind of restaurant nice we'll see
just in case um we went to Jollibee once and they didn't say card which was really strange
but luckily that day we had the perfect amount of money so I'm just gonna get some cash now
just in case it doesn't take card this place is nice it's kind of outside of the shopping
center it's like there's a concert going on here he was just doing some sound check he was going
into the microphone it's nice I think this is it
table for 2, outside? Wanna sit outside? Ok.
this is nice though yeah right next to the gardens okay thank you very much yes
oh and this place is called cafe Laguna it's a chain at least in Cebu I I've never heard of it
before and they have so many options but lucky for me there's a vegetarian section I think I'm
gonna double check that there's not gonna be any meat in at this time if you haven't seen our last
video we went to a lechon restaurant because I wanted to try a restaurant and Adriana wanted
just a vegetarian dish and there's a section that said vegetables which you would assume to be the
vegetable section but no that was a dish mainly vegetables but also with pork it wasn't great
so hopefully today we're gonna clear it after we want vegetarian no meat could I please have a cold
calamansi drink pineapple juice as well is there meat no meat no meat okay good that one please
Chicken Adobo. thank you very much the music has started now so you might hear it just hopefully it
won't get any copyright claims it just feels like a bit of a beat hopefully it's fine. Want sugar syrup? yes
oh yeah that's kind of that's sour oh that's nice a little bit sugar in there though yes [Music]
oh yeah um I got some fresh pineapple juice you may have seen in the last video that we extended
our visa for another month here in Philippines so we could have extended another month everyone
says that the weather will be better in my April for us anyway maybe we'll take you up
on that offer we've even heard people say that the tours down in some of the islands are also
being called off there's flooding everywhere so it's not great we do still have a full month left
we're super excited and we're gonna still travel around and see as much as we can but we're not
expecting fantastic weather so we know that if we come back we can be expecting it and we
can go island hopping even though we're still going to try to do that a little bit this time
around but we'll see how it goes thank you what I've ordered is called vegetable Kare Kare been
recommend this about a trillion times from you guys because I said I love aubergine and also
I prefer vegetarian food it smells and looks so good and this one comes with a little bit of rice
hmm I think I was expecting it to be more like Satay-y but it's got such a nice like understated
hint of peanuts it's like warm creamy not really spicy delicious I like this he also
came with this it is mince shrimp paste it smells really strong should I just put some on the side
oh yeah makes it a bit more salty that's what that needed this is a good dish I
would order this again I've gone for another recommendation chicken adobo with some garlic
rice as well looks like I've got a few drumsticks some thighs it's definitely
a dish that I'm gonna have to get stuck into and put some on my plate first before I try
it because I need to put some rice on there as well oh yeah let's get some of this rice
smells smells tasty that's very good what I've noticed now having many other Filipino dishes
that they're on the sort of saltier level that someone said yesterday that people eat
a lot of rice with it to cut that saltiness down that's true it's really nice this is a good dish
so bibinka is supposed to be a sort of rice cake primarily rice based ingredients but in this
case we seem to have some more shredded coconut and some salted egg on top it looks and smells
very delicious I'm glad we only got one because it's much bigger than I expected it to be cheers
guys [Music] The Salted egg is very salt and eggy but it kind of works because the
rice cake is sweet but not extremely flavorsome it's really tasty but it's
not blowing my head off in flavor it's not as nice as puto bumbomg maybe because it's all sweets
we like sweet things we keep eating and so clearly it's nice we're going to finish this now and
then we have one more place that we want to head to today so see you there bye [Music]
okay yes we have arrived we're now at a place called Taoist Temple Taoist is a religion from
China there's a Temple here in Cebu right on the top of this sort of mountain range
we're walking up to it now you can see the City already it's kind of into this area
we had to go into like a private area with a security and everything it looks super fancy
I think the area is called Beverly Hills or something nice view that is a nice view
this Taoist Temple was built in 1972 by the Filipino Chinese community and it was
actually not meant to be tourist attraction but because it is so nice to walk around and
look at they kept one part of it open to the public and the other part is private
it's pretty cool isn't it I'm glad they did because I'm happy I'll get to see it yeah
yeah the view is really nice yeah you can tell by our breath how much steps we've
walked up yeah we're at the top now it's quite peaceful and calm here you would have imagined
that from a temple but also there's not that many people here currently that's free to get in yeah
oh so we think nobody else has to pay for anything it's very colorful it's got a lot of
really beautiful imagery great place to end the day yeah with a view like this of Cebu City that's
awesome I feel like we've done loads today I'm exhausted yeah if you've enjoyed this
video then you might enjoy the video that's on the screen right now where
we had our first day in Manila and did twice as much pretty much as we did today bye
