Philippines Street Food in CDO: SUBSCRIBE for more: T-shirts: ZAMBOANGA CITY, PHILIPPINES - In this video we’re exploring Zamboanga City, one of the most interesting cities in the Philippines and has some of the best food in the Philippines! Located in the south of Mindanao Island, Zamboanga is a melting pot of cultures, and a food paradise. Let’s see just how good the Filipino food is! A huge thank you to: Chui TheChuiShow Frances and Keng Jimmy's Satti Haus - We’re starting with a legendary restaurant that serves satti, the local version of satay originating from Jolo. Loved the sauce and the atmosphere here, something you have to try. Hamja’s Eatery - When you visit Zamboanga City you have to try Tausug Food, a Filipino Muslim people, who are originally from the Sulu archipelago. The food is unbelievable and we tried everything from Tiyula itum - Charred coconut beef soup, to Piyanggang - Charred coconut stew. It was one of the best meals I’ve had in the Philippines! AntiEns restaurant - Next up we tried more Tausug food, and learned how to make tiyula itum - a soup made with charred coconut. Manang Rose Tempura - We’re continuing with our Filipino street food tour to eat at the hilarious Manang Rose Tempura, for one of the most popular street food snacks in Zamboanga City! We also took a walk along the waterside and enjoyed some kwek kwek and other unique Filipino street food. Alavar Seafood Restaurant - Finally, you can’t go to Zamboanga City without eating at the legendary Alavar Seafood Restaurant for their unbelievable Curacha Alabar - a huge spanner crab flooded with Alavar sauce! Zamboanga City is one of the most unique and delicious cities in the Philippines, I loved it and hope to be back again!

It is one of life’s mysteries that Mark manages to stay as thin as a Champion Racing Greyhound. I have my suspicions- he has an huge auxiliary stomach or a giant tapeworm - but his food descriptions are fantastic & meticulous. He eats beautifully and neatly, respects the culture. He is friendly and kind to everyone. My husband thought he must be micro dosing he’s so up beat and positive, but he’s doing what he loves with his family and friends along with him. Living his dream. Also allergic to nothing, disliking nothing, willing to try anything. oh stingray, yes He’s a treasure to food. lovers like me
I wonder if he cooks himself

Who would've thought, Mark Wiens visited my birthplace Zamboanga. Glad that you've traveled to the Western part of Mindanao Philippines and tried some of the best/delicious food that Zamboanga has to offer & showcase the local cuisines of my people the Tausug. Hope you have great memories especially with the food & a comeback to bring alongside with some of your food vlogger friends.

Watching this with my lucky me instant pancit canton just imagining those flavors. It’s been a tough year for me and it’s gonna be tougher next year. Atleast I can just watch these amazing videos/vlogs with a failing crumbling business this christmas
reply

Zamboanga has so many varieties of food to offer but it is very dangerous place for a foreigner to stay and live! Bandits and some lawless elements are still around like hungry wolves and kidnap for ransom activity is still around. Be extra careful!
reply

I love seeing all the different food and don’t get me wrong but your reviews are always very similar and are starting to become monotonous. If you love everything there is no point to reviewing it. Just saying
reply

The Wiens in the Philippines trilogy is near completion - Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Wondering what's next. Fusion Filipino food New/next wave Going back to the roots Possibilities are many. :)

My mother loved Zamboanga. She lived there for a few years and she told me how beautiful Zamboanga is. She loved going to the beach and get some sea food, she said its fresh and delicious.
reply

That's why i don't trust some vlogger saying that Philippines has the worst cuisine when they only visited Manila Filipino Authenthic food is in province not in cities thats morr on budget meal
reply

Hi Mark! I see that you are doing a fantastic job of showcasing filipino food. I try to give you a thumbs up every time since I always enjoy your content. Greetings from Alberta Canada!

sori po nagalit ako bobo kasi, sori mark w
iens pinakain ka kasi with trust nang ok kasi expected pero pag auth behaVior kausap mo give time to reeduc them, the damn kwek2 really hurts

reply

Not being smart but the amount of food Mark eats should be like the chef size in this video at 25: 01 it just seems so un natural after all these years of him eating full time.
reply

I noticed a few times that Mark didn't review all the dishes that were on the table. Just wondering if it was a time factor, or maybe dishes that he didn't especially like
reply

Im watching ur videos since 2018. but i didnt expect ur doing some food vlog in my home town. thanks a lot bro. hope i can visit ur resto and tatse the spicy challge.
reply

Only thing is that Mindanao is dangerous for Americans. I am a proud Filipino and happy that that many more tourist come and discover Filipino cuisines and culture.
reply

These cuisines from Mindanao should be introduced in Manila thru all these Filipino restaurants. I'm sure the Manilenos would love to try them after seeing these vlogs!
reply

Where does all the leftover food go I love watching your videos and I have for a few years. I just often wonder what happens to all the leftovers you don't keep.
reply

How can he eat chilli’s like that, one after another and not even break a sweat. I’m Indian and I eat spicy food but even I can’t do that. That’s amazing
reply

I expected to see way more comments about going to a place pretty much every western government says DO NOT GO, but hey, glad you're safe and enjoyed the food!
