hi my name is josie and this is Puerto princesa
so welcome back or welcome if you're new here my name is josie welcome to my channel
today we are here in pouerto princessa in palawan and normally if you were to come here you're gonna
go do snorkel in honda bay you're going to go see the fireflies you're going to go to
the underground river but we don't have that long this time we're only here for a couple of
hours so we're going to show you what you can do here in Puerto princesa with just
a few hours to make it worth your while let's go have a look so the first stop is you know it has
to be coffee so we're here at the fat goat we're gonna have a coffee to start the day
we're gonna head on to some breakfast after that it's okay that's all right all right thank you
maybe after two to three hours oh okay oh thank you that's when we're leaving all right thank you
so much okay so we actually heard that happens a lot um if you heard that i don't think i got it in
time she just told us were ordering coffee and the second she started to make the coffee she said the
power went out and apparently you were telling me that that's actually quite common here it happened
this morning in our hotel but our hotel has a like a back up generator so it was fine within like 10
minutes it came back on um so we thought i thought that she could just start the coffee in like a
minute or so um but she said no two to three hours so i'm not sure what we could even do today with
that because most of the things we want to do have that so let's have a look so why we couldn't get
our coffee from the fat goat we're just now on our way walking to the next destination
hoping to find some coffee along the way but i have noticed that there are so many tricycles
or tri-bikes or something around here because there's no like grabs or public transport so
they're everywhere i'm sure that they would cost a little bit more but we're just kind of trying
to keep today to walking i think we're gonna try for some breakfast it's breakfast time well it's
actually lunch time but it's breakfast time for us so my first impression so far of puerto princesa
is that it is really hot it's hot everywhere don't get me wrong but it is super hot today
i've also noticed there's more like local stores local houses local roads like this this is really
really cool i really like it oh basketball hoop yeah i feel like we're in someone's like community
we've got clothes hanging up to drive we've got a basketball hoop we've got dogs look at this dog
hi can i pat thank you
oh you're so cute
they're so little
do they have a name
thank you so
i love much that was so cute that was the coolest thing puppies are so cute i love them what a good
start to the walk hey okay so we found a second coffee shop hopefully this one has the power on
okay so we're here at the coffee shop essential first stop of the day i think for every day
whether it's on camera for me or not i've been waiting a lot for this it's really hot outside
it's really cool inside and i've got an isolate what more could you want the power just went out
here too we're bringing the power outages with us every time we where we walk through the city okay
so that was the coffee place just down there and the restaurant that we're gonna go to is literally
just across the road which is how we found that coffee roaster this is really pretty there's
like greenery everywhere but it's not so built up as other places like manila and everything
like that obviously and i like it it's got such a charm about it i think i like those places
just as much if not more because it's so unique so we've actually gone to a couple of places and i
think we might be a little bit late for cylog but if this place doesn't have sea lock it definitely
has sissic so we're going to try one or the other today this one is tia isling's filipino restaurant
let's try here okay so she brought out the drinks we both got a can i got a can of juice i forgot a
can of coke zero there were 55 filipino pesos each and then she brought out the pork sissig
and it's just sizzling away it's just sizzling it's so cool and and this one was 255 filipino
pesos and then we also got a cup of rice just one cup which i believe was 25 pesos as well so all
together it was this i'm putting it on my plate right now i'm putting a bit of the pork sissig
on my plate and i'm grabbing some of the rice i'm going to try them both at the same time
i'm looking at it now and i don't know if i've ever seen anything like this before it's
basically like a big mince it looks like a big mince but i'm seeing different like colors
i'm seeing different kinds of the pork like obviously there's a little bit more fat in
here than the other parts yeah i'm interested to see what it tastes like isn't this just the cutest
it's like a little bus oh it's a cheating you're right and it says philippines yeah i love that
all right here we go we've got the pork cystic with some rice on my spoon fork or my fork
smells good it smells like garlic oh it's very mushy it's it's not crispy at all when you bite
into it it basically all blends into one bit of meat one sophie to me which then blends into the
rice as well not chewy pretty much dissolved in my mouth i actually didn't expect that at all i
expected that to be crispy and like crunchy and like having to chew through it that isn't what i
expected like at all it's got a lot of flavor in it the texture isn't something that i would love
um i prefer like the crunchy crackling thing but the flavor's a bit of nice i like the
flavor you love pork though so let's see what you think some sort of maybe an intestine of
some sort i don't know maybe you could let us know in the comments it kind of feels like a
like a porridge of pork if that makes sense like porridge consistency but you can definitely taste
like just a mixture of all the different cuts in there together i really like that michael's about
to tell me what's in this because i didn't want to know until afterwards it's not my favorite i'm
not gonna lie like it's not bad i just think the texture of the soft meat just isn't really for me
um but michael loves pork and he said that he really likes it but the flavors of it are
really nice the garlic and everything like that i just think like the way that it feels in my mouth
isn't the best i'm a big texture person so that makes it up for me a lot there's onions and chili
peppers in there which gives it the taste it's got chicken liver in there which means you've
eaten chicken living out oh there's minced pork in there which you would have normally we've eaten
a million times before and then there's cuts from the pig's ear um and from the pig's face
different like the face is quite fatty so there's a fatty bits in the pig's face
really so i'm glad that i know that i've tried something i wouldn't normally have tried before
that's for sure i've been loving other filipino foods that we've had so far i've loved the fresh
lumpia i've loved the banana q i've loved the pork adobo we had as well and i loved the beef
curry curry as well i'm going to leave the video where i eat all those things in the description
below so if you want to see me try them check out those videos after this one but michael seems to
like it he's finishing it off really quickly okay so that's it for the [ __ ] now right now we're
on the way to plaza cuatel and that has a pretty historic meaning here in water princess so that
also has some ties to world war ii i'll tell you a little bit more about that when we get there
i've just learned as much as i could about it i'm new to all of this stuff and all of the background
to do with these countries but that's what i do with you i explore it as i go and learn new things
along the way you teach me more than i am so appreciative for in the comments below as well so
let's get to this place and there's a really nice quarter princess sign right in front of
us in front of the water so the japanese had the prisoners here there were roughly 150 americans
and a few filipinos as well and once they sort of got wind that they were going to lose the war
they kept everyone underground in the underground tunnels right here and they
basically just set the underground tunnels on fire and burnt everyone which is so completely sad
apparently about 11 of them escaped and they don't know how or where or anything like that
but we think that they just maybe escaped the tunnel somehow and got out of the fire
um but you can see the underground tunnels here so that's pretty insane to think about i think
there's a park over there that has the names as well of the people who are captive but so just
come out of there and across the road we see some people playing basketball this is so cool
i should play no i'm not that good if you have a team tell me in the comments below
because apparently basketball is massive here so let me know what your team is michael likes
76ers oh you got them on your hat hi so we just walked all the way through this really local
um village to bayside we just arrived in bayside there's tri bay walk sorry bay walk and we're just
right on the river on the ocean on the water right now and there's bikes everywhere i'm
assuming you could like hire them if you'd like to drive around drive around right around on them
there seems to be like restaurants here as well it's really hot today oh he's so cute
he's driven past me like five times so we'll say hi one day he's been like working off the courage
he like rides past josie first time he didn't smile so he found me like look at that then
he looked at me and then the next one he smiled and he keeps just coming back around back around
looking at her i think you might say hello soon he waved at me that time he waved away you're on
the camera no no no he didn't stay healthy jog exercise be happy smile relax enjoy life i like
it so we're just walking down this really busy street here um i'm not sure which street it is
but we kind of came out from the bay and we ended up sort of here and there's a lot going on there's
tricycles there's shopping centers there's hotels there's like market roads down there you can see
so i've noticed looking at these all these tricycles that they all have different names
printed on the back of them sounds like pauline someone's like juan
some of them are other things so if you know why they have different names let me know is it like a
license plate number but their name i'm not sure i find it really interesting um there's only i think
one big mall correct me if i'm wrong the sm mall and we're heading there now just to have a look
and then we might find some fresh street food if we can as well i'm pretty full from the [ __ ]
still so we'll see but there's a lot going on on this street that's for sure there's pads
over here cars over here there's more shorts over here there's a lot to get here there's
premise drugstores a jolly bee obviously there's always a jolly bean no matter where you go here
so i was thinking i was like wow this town has this big sm all right but it's the biggest
like city town in palawan so it makes sense so we're just going to have a look around show you
a little bit of the mall get a drink hopefully find a drink yes i would love a drink and then
hopefully find some street food or something on the outside that we can have a chew on
for a little snack and then afterwards tonight we're actually doing something really special
so stick around and find out what that is or not you'll have to see so the mall we just came out of
the mall and the mall's back there and where we stayed is literally across the road it's
right there i'm still honestly quite full from this this sig a little bit earlier but there's
all of these like street food carts on the side as well literally outside of our hotel over there so
oh what's that that's banana with uh banana yes what's that
what what's in that flour and
yeah i'll try that how much is it 10 pesos 10. oh there's a tenner in in my front here
awesome this plus one i think we'll share one yeah thank you that's it
with sugar perfect thank you so much it's so cool it's like a flat pancake kinda it looks like a
potato salad yeah like a potato scallop you're right all right so since we just bought some of
this i already forgot the name she told me just then we're going to get a drink to go with it so
up in here or over there this one yeah yeah doggies just one coke yeah thank you
i did a parasailing that's my channel very nice yeah thank you
oh thank you thank you so much okay so we have a flour banana oops almost got run over and a cold
coke and now we're gonna head back to our hotel oh cross the road when you can cross the road
