i'm sure you have one or two foods that remind you of growing up and your childhood no matter
what country you come from or where you are in the world food can remind us of things from the past
since traveling we have tried a lot of different food that people would have grown up eating
7-eleven snacks from thailand murder back kaya toast and mango sticky rice while we have tried
jollibee and curry curry in the philippines today we'll be trying some filipino snacks hand-picked
by a filipino who has grown up eating these snacks they're awesome they're awesome they're so good
i've selected none of these i have no idea what they are but before we get into the snacks michael
needs a haircut not too big more but to a local barber in a local community can i show you let's
explore this local filipino community in the heart of manila and then i will show you my authentic
reaction to some filipino snacks they're all right not my favorite let's go like and subscribe
so welcome back all welcome if you're new here my name is josie
welcome to my channel right now we're just walking on the way to a local barber for
michael to get his hair cut i had a cut with this guy when we first got to manila weeks ago
weeks and weeks ago it's like a normal barber it's not like it's a local two dollar bubble
or anything like that it's a proper barber shop but it's in this really cool local neighborhood
we're walking through this like a really local street and we're seeing like kids like playing
with their next neighbors on like the second floor and stuff and everyone's here saying hello
have a good day they asked me for my channel that was the cutest thing
we got some puppies on the street here
all right so we're here at sleek farmers let's go in
fresh out the barber looking looking snazzy he does a good job here he
has a really really good job yeah looks good he makes me look 31 instead of 32.
i don't normally this is my channel i can't plug people but i reckon if you're in manila
if you're looking for a barber it's hard when you travel to fight above so somehow
you stumble across this like a vouch you bet okay it's my first experience to a barber shop
actually is it actually yeah you want to be on yeah come say hello hey again hey again
so if you've been following my channel for a while you know that michael has had
a business for a really long time now and it just so happens that he has employees
from all over the world but a few of them are from the philippines
so he's got one named sam and she's been with him for like almost five years now which is
crazy so hi sam but we got given well she bought all of these filipino like snacks
for us that she thought that might be really cool for us to try and there's there's so many
so we're gonna go through and try all of these snacks chosen from sam who lives in
the philippines she thought that this would be good for us to try let's go oh and drinks okay
okay whoa whoop don't turn it there's more there's more start with let's start with a coffee shall we
so first of all thank you sam for sending me all of these things to try here in the philippines
this is so exciting this is so cool and if you watch this and you have any other recommendations
of what you think i should try or anything that we missed let me know in the comments below but i
think sam has pretty much everything covered here by the look of it so we first we have this cold
brew coffee it's black no sugar so this looks right up my alley i am not a big fan of like
sugary coffee so oh yeah oh that's good that's me that's me every morning ice americano i like that
but here we have mr brown cappuccino iced coffee ready to drink and this is 110 calories this
looks pretty cool there is some sugars in this i think it's gonna be sweet but the can is so cute
got it
oh okay it's a bit watery it's a nice coffee it's it's slightly sweet um but it's a little bit more
watery than milky it's really interesting because normally when you get like iced coffee in a can
or something it's usually quite milky but this one's a little bit more watery than milky this is
definitely another winner pretty much on the basis that it's coffee iced brew macchiato oh this is
bose coffee so many of you were telling me to go to bose coffee you were saying that that's one of
the only stores that do like local beans i think from the philippines i don't love sweet coffee
but i can taste like the caramel syrup in this this is delicious below are you bose ice caramel
macchiato or are you starbucks caramel macchiato first one i grabbed was this one it's the chippy
flavored barbecue corn chips i don't think i love them so this one says product of the philippines
i don't know i like the like crunchiness and everything they're all right not my favorite okay
next we have these breadsticks this one also says manufactured in the philippines so let's try these
okay these look like a little baguette a little mini baguette i kind of like them
that's fun so these ones are jack and jill chippies flavored chili and cheese corn chips
also made in the philippines i think this is like the pizza ones but uh chili and cheese
i can't open them either this is like what the other ones look like as well they're kind of like
really thin swirly things okay they smell like chili i'm so scared oh okay i got nothing it's not
chilly i actually like them better than the pizza ones there's no chili in that at all i got really
scared there they're fine oh i'm so excited we have ube pillows from ushi enriched with vitamin a
ube filled crackers they look like a little square that's like hollow on the inside
it's like soft but it's like crunchy and then in the middle there's like this like
sauce like custard of ube i must love ube and i really like these
they're awesome they're awesome they're so good they're so good so next we have picado's roast
beef flavored potato crisp roast beef oh i don't think it tastes like roast beef a salt crisp or
something they're kind of flat they're really like long um flat really thin as well because
they're actually pretty nice i don't think they taste like roast beef but they taste good things
like roast beef you reckon now this i have to confess i can't lie to you guys i've actually
tried this before the apple green tea brewed and bottled on the same day cool and clean c2
i've tried this we're on the way to report a princess so and we pulled over the side of
the road and i was like i really needed a drink really bad and i tried it and i was so surprised
i loved it mmm this tastes like apple juice but better quite sweet so obviously there's
a little bit of sugar in that but that is my favorite drink that's not coffee all right
let's try the lemon version now i am a little bit scared because i don't normally like lemon
it's like a sweet lemon that's not actually bad it's not like citrusy salary okay so this one's
super heavy i'm not sure what it is but before we try this one i've noticed that 87 of you who watch
my videos aren't actually subscribed to my channel i know so if you can take two seconds to subscribe
to my channel like this video if you like my content that would mean so much to me and it
would really help my channel so there's 87 of you out there who haven't done that yet make sure you
do make sure you do that for me before you leave and then let's try this one click choc nut king
this is a product of the philippines as well i just saw so this is exciting this is super heavy
okay they're in like little
they're in like little um i can't stop dropping them so it's a little like like bar oh it breaks
apart your mouth it's like a reese's pieces cup have you ever oh that is rich very flaky
pretty good very rich you only need like one of them that's for sure all right before we go on
let me know in the comments which one of these has been your favorite so far but let's
see the roast beef ones like the roast beef ones yeah pta piatos cheese flavored potato crisps
so just like the roast beef ones but cheese and i love cheese so i'm excited for this one
it smells like cheese they're cool i like those ones standard crisp or chip really nice
this is the chucky my chocolate buddy nestle number one kids favorite and if you watched any
of my thailand series you know that i'm obsessed with milo which is basically like chocolate milk
i love chocolate milk so do you like give these to your kids when they go to school or something like
this looks like like something you'd put in like a lunchbox let me know in the comments below this
has no flavor on it so it should just be plain breadsticks little baguettes yes little baguettes
hmm yeah it's just like little like breadsticks sam he sent me so many things nova multi-grain
snacks country cheddar flavor generally oh okay they're like like wavy kind of things oh very
cheesy if you're from australia or anywhere that has grain wines this tastes just like a grain
wave they're one of my favorites they taste like a cheese grain wave wayne wave grain wave i thought
i'd gone through all the drinks like the coffees at least and i found another one she's giving me
another mr brown caramel macchiato this one's a little bit way too sweet for me almost like a like
a like a packaged um sort of like not real coffee coffee flavor if that makes sense but it does say
100 coffee extract that's really interesting jack and jill cheese curls cheese flavored corn
curls this tastes like twisties but these no not twisties the cheese and bacon balls oh they're
pretty good there's a lot of air obviously around them so when you bite them they kind of fall apart
chili flavored corn snacks these ones look like like tortilla
like chips it kind of looks like a mini taco little taco
they taste kind of like a corn chip almost like a dorito i like the corn chip like i like the corn
chip flavor and texture only natural shrimps and we call them prawns in australia so that's really
cool they have prawns in the packet oh i got i got a whiff when i opened that and i did not like that
that smells like the sea they're like a long stick with like like stuff on the edges like
grained on the edges or something but they're not they're not bad once you eat them on their own
pa toes again but these ones are sour cream and onion i don't mind them can't really go wrong
with them they're really good they taste like sour cream and onion pringles and they're my favorite
one so i like them now these are i'm not sure uh juice drink and this one says guyabano guayabano
which i've never heard before i might try this and it does say filipino flavors um homegrown fruits
oh i like that
i like that a lot oh that's nice that's real nice i like that a lot all right let's
try the calemancy now i've never heard of a calamansi before we came to the philippines
oh no it's a sour one i don't like it i'm so upset to be losing this when we do leave the
philippines might be somewhere else if you know if calamansi is anywhere else elsewhere tell
me because i love this clover chips leslie's cheese the day cheese the day like season day
they are super cheesy they're not full crispy and they're not like fall apart in your mouth
they're in between not the best not the worst i'd say i like some of the other things better
than that i'm obsessed with eggnog they're like little like crispy things they don't really look
like cookies i kind of get the eggnog it kind of just tastes like a plain plain cookie to me
kind of delicious though i like cookies so there's a big packet and they come with like little things
inside it so it's like a little like round flat topped like chocolate obviously not my favorite
kind of chocolate um it doesn't taste very is it milk chocolate it kind of tastes like
cooking chocolate you know when you get cooking chocolate and it kind of like breaks apart part a
prop breaks apart more easily than the other ones not not too bad not my favorite kind of chocolate
