Anton and I go on an extreme Filipino street food snack tour of Quiapo Market Antons channel: The area around Quiapo Church, is home to a huge market, where youll find an abundance of especially clothing and street food - and ranging from fresh ingredients to cooked food ready to eat. If you love to eat, when youre in Manila, Quiapo Market is one of the best places to start and get a feel for the city and eat some amazing Filipino street food. We started right at Quiapo Church and it happened to be a Sunday afternoon - Anton mentioned that its usually the busiest on Sunday afternoon, catering to everyone that attends the hourly church service. We walked down one alley and ate two noodle dishes palabok (20 PHP, 0. 40) and sotanghon (30 PHP, 0. 60. Both dishes were good, and served fresh. I especially enjoyed the sotanghon, a cellophane noodles dish, that was cooked in flavorful oil and it was a perfect slurping dish. Right in front of Quiapo Church in Manila, we at first though they were fish balls or squid balls, but they turned out to be chicken balls (2 PHP, 0. 04 per ball. In order to eat Filipino chicken balls, you grab a stick, poke some on your stick, and dip in vinegar. They werent the best quality, but they werent expensive either. Next to the chicken balls, I saw the dried squid (10 PHP, 0. 20 per stick) and had to try it as well. It was amazing, dried chewy squid, roasted over charcoal and dunked in chili vinegar. We then walked across the main road at Quiapo and found a Filipino street food stall serving all types of kwek kwek (3 for 12 PHP, 0. 24. Kwek kwek is a popular street food of quail eggs, coated in a thick batter and deep fried. We also tried 1 day old fried chickens (10 PHP, 0. 20, which is another popular Filipino street food in that area of Manila. As with other Filipino snacks, you garnish with chilies, shallots, and lots of vinegar before eating. Probably one of the most famous of all Philippines street food is balut (15 PHP, .030, a duck egg embryo - like a half developed egg. Youll find balut all over the Philippines and its especially popular to eat in the evening. The first thing you do is crack the top of the egg shell and drink the chicken soup. You then peel the rest of the egg, and eat both chick and the yolk on the inside. I also seasoned with a little salt and chili vinegar. Ive eaten balut quite a few times during many trips to the Philippines, and I quite enjoy eating balut Quiapo Market is a wonderful place in Manila to explore all the street food snacks available, and its just an amazingly vibrant and colorful part of Manila, and it was great to hang out with Anton

Reminder to all foreigners visiting in Philippines especially in over crowded places like quiapo you should put your bag in front rather than your back because pickpockets are everywhere and waiting for a right timing. Usually they victim the people that are not familiar about the place. I love this vlogger. More power. Thank you for visiting

Respect to you Mark. Looks delish. But if you want to try REAL street food, make your way down to Happyland Tondo and try Pagpag. Would love to see your reaction. Keep up the good work.
