1
- For maybe the first time ever, the hottest new restaurant in New York City is Filipino.
2
And that is kind of a miracle.
3
This city's Filipino spots, as incredible as they are, have a way of disappearing.
4
But this one from the team behind SEMA, New York's number one restaurant in 2025, might be changing that.
5
The idea, take classic Filipino dishes and turn them into sandwiches.
6
Today, we're trying sandwich.
7
I don't know if it's just me, but it seems like Filipino restaurants in the city close at an alarming rate.
8
There have been a number that we've wanted to try in recent years that have just vanished.
9
Bob, Jeepney, Purple Yam, Balao, Mama Fina's, and most recently, Ted Hanna, that we were just about to make a video on.
10
That's why it is so crazy that one of the most popular restaurants in the city right now happens to be Filipino.
11
It's called Sandwitz.
12
It opened in May and comes from Chef Eric Valdez of Knox and Unapologetic Foods.
13
The team behind some of New York's most acclaimed restaurants Semah, Uda, and Damaka.
14
This location was actually a Rowdy Rooster, an Indian fried chicken shop, also from Unapologetic Foods, that moves to 32nd Street.
15
I've seen videos where the line for this place has gotten crazy, and it is a Sunday.
16
We're here half an hour before they open, but they open at 4 :00 p .m., which seems awfully late for a sandwich shop.
17
We've already seen a few people come and walk in and be told that they're not open yet.
18
So there isn't a line, but I have a feeling a line is going to start forming soon.
19
- All right, while we wait for our food, I'll tell you a little bit about the ambiance.
20
This place is small and they have the music bumping, which is so much fun, but hopefully you're gonna be able to hear us okay, 'cause it is really loud in here.
21
- Every time it stops, it's so quiet.
22
- So quiet when the music stops.
23
Okay, now it's back.
24
There's just a counter in the front and then four tables in the restaurant and that's it.
25
I love all the Filipino snacks on the shelves over the register where you order.
26
It's really more of a to -go place, but the vibes are high.
27
It is such a fun spot.
28
And they're actually sold out of two of the sandwiches today.
29
First, they have the lechon dip, which is basically the Filipino answer to a French dip.
30
Then the chicken bagon, which is their fried chicken sandwich.
31
And the Filipino twist is the shrimp paste, which is a funky fermented, super savory sauce.
32
They also have a mushroom adobo melt, which was sold out today, but that's their vegetarian option.
33
The ribeye caldureta is their take on affiliate cheese steak.
34
Caldureta is a rich Filipino beef stew.
35
So you've got ribeye, a spicy caldureta sauce, Then the Makati bacon, egg, and cheese.
36
Obviously, a bacon, egg, and cheese is one of the most quintessential New York City breakfast sandwiches.
37
But here it's made with wagyu brisket, potato hash, eggs, American cheese, and a beef fat mayo.
38
I'm not sure if the last one was inspired by any of their sandwiches, but it's probably the one I'm most excited to try, the spam sandwich.
39
They actually make their spam in -house.
40
We're also going to try all of their sides.
41
They have lumpia, Filipino mac and cheese with hot dogs and Filipino spaghetti sauce and vinegar fries.
42
and for drinks they have a honey calamansi fizz and an iced ube matcha latte.

Wow.
59
That takes up our whole little table here.
60
Big bag of stuff.
61
This place got absolutely packed right after they open it.
62
I'm going to start with this Honey Calamante fizz.
63
God, I can chug this whole thing right now.
64
That first sip.
65
is incredibly refreshing.
66
It's 90 degrees outside and not much colder in here right now.
67
This is really hitting the spot.
68
You get this burst of that bright calamansi flavor.
69
It's kind of like a cross between a lemon, a lime, and like an orange.
70
Probably leans more like a clementine flavor, if anything.
71
It's the kind of drink that's just like bright and citrusy and a little bit tart.
72
It really like wakes up your palate.
73
It's like a perfect palate cleanser. That is so good.
74
It's basically like sparkling orange juice.
75
We're just gonna start with this one because it's the first thing that we open.
76
I believe this is the spam sandwich.
77
It's made with house -made spam, marinated onions, lettuce, secret sauce on country white toast.
78
Mmm.
79
It like low -key tastes like a Big Mac on this thing.
80
Really?
81
That secret sauce especially, it's crazy.
82
It really tastes like a burger.
83
It's so savory, it's so salty.
84
It tastes more like beef than it does like spam.
85
But it's a fantastic sandwich chance for sure Wow, tell me that doesn't taste like a burger.
86
- It does.
87
You know what I think it is though?
88
The onions, like there's a lot of caramelized onions in here, but I definitely get breakfast sandwich notes with the eggs and I do get a subtle ham flavor, but it's mostly like onions and special sauce you're tasting.
89
Absolutely delicious.
90
This thing is extremely messy though.
91
- Yeah, it is.
92
- But so good.
93
- This absolutely massive sandwich is their Lechon dip, which is made with pork belly asado, grilled pineapple relish, bok choy on a hero roll, - It comes with a forked shoe.
94
- I was convinced before we got here that that Spam sandwich was going to be my favorite, but this is unbelievable.
95
It's crazy how tender and flavorful that pork belly is, and it's just complemented perfectly by all the ingredients in this sandwich.
96
It's rich, fatty, and so savory, and you get that nice brightness from that pineapple relish.
97
I got a bit of that bok choy in that bite, and that adds like a nice bitterness, and it's just so balanced.
98
All these sandwiches are so messy though.
99
Yeah, they're so messy.
100
I mean, look at your little section right now.
101
It is literally.
102
It's a disaster. So messy.
103
These might be the hardest sandwiches to put down once you start taking bites because they are so delicious, but also incredibly messy.
104
I don't know if he's capturing in between songs, but it gets so quiet and awkward and both of us like freeze.
105
But anyway, let's try this sandwich.
106
We were not born to be influencers, that is for sure.
107
We're like two extreme introverts.
108
- I'm too self -conscious for this.
109
Anyway, this sandwich looks amazing.
110
Poi mi la porta, mi la mar The sauce is the perfect complement.
111
It's like creamy and a little tangy.
112
Really complements the meat and the pineapple perfectly.
113
That meat is so savory and tender.
114
You get like a little bit of tartness and fruitiness from that pineapple.
115
It's also funny that there's this white sauce and then you're also supposed to dip it in the jus.
116
Like this is a very messy wet sandwich but I'm not complaining about it.
117
Alright, on to the sides.
118
These are their lumpia which are crispy pork sprinkles.
119
- Mmm.
120
- That brunch is everything.
121
That wrapper just shatters into a million pieces the second you bite into it, and it just fills with that rich, savory pork flavor.
122
They're so simple, but they're just the kind of thing that you could eat a million of.
123
They're crispy, meaty, and just so perfectly snackable and craveable.
124
- That meat is so flavorful.
125
You can see the vegetables and the spices in there.
126
It is so delicious.
127
- These are the vinegar fries, and all that the menu says about them is that they're sick and just get them.
128
- It must be good.
129
And they come with what I think is a chipotle ale.
130
Mmm. about it.
131
Wow.
132
The second these things hit your mouth, you know exactly why they're on that menu.
133
That tangy, like, vinegar flavor, it just really penetrates into that fry, but they're cooked so nicely.
134
Like, the outside is very crisp, but the inside is nice and soft, like, super soft and pillowy.
135
This aioli adds, like, a bit of a spice to it. So good.
136
- There's this, like, sweetness that I wasn't expecting.
137
I thought there was gonna be, like, more of a tang and a little bit of a bite.
138
It's kind of like salt and vinegar chips, but not as vinegary.
139
- Yeah, if you would like salt and vinegar chips, - So good.
140
These really are addicting.
141
- Last but not least is their mac and cheese.
142
It comes with Filipino spaghetti sauce, ground beef, hot dogs, and cheddar cheese.
143
Mmm.
144
If you're expecting mac and cheese, this is way closer to like a spaghetti and meatballs flavor than it is like mac and cheese.
145
But that sauce is sweet, so there's sweetness, there's savoriness, and there's also a lot of creaminess from that cheese that's in there.
146
I would say it's more sauce -forward than cheese -forward.
147
And those pieces of hot dog in there So good.
148
- It definitely leans more like red sauce and meatballs than it does like mac and cheese with hot dog pieces.
149
And it tastes like cheddar cheese, not really like Parmesan or mozzarella like you normally have with red sauce.
150
There's a sweetness to the sauce.
151
This like puts a smile on my face.
152
- It's funny because it's not like we grew up like having Filipino spaghetti, but I said this even when we tried Jollibee.
153
It just seems like something that you would have when you were a kid.
154
- Yeah.
155
- This is the Hallohallo, which is shaved ice ube, jackfruit and coconut.
156
Got some coconut on top.
157
Hallohalo means mix mix so you've got to basically like mix everything and have it all together in one bite.
158
The thing that's difficult to bet Hallohalo is it's always served in a cup like to the brim
159
because it's not really that easy to mix it all together.
160
That might be the best Hallohalo I've ever had.
161
It's such like a sensory overload because there are so many different flavors and so many different textures in there.
162
There's a creaminess and iciness and earthiness some jelly in there as well.
163
It's crazy because it really is at the same time.
164
Perfect for a scorcher like today.
165
This is gonna be really nice to like walk home with.
166
This is so good.
167
You really gotta mix it, come on.
168
Okay, you could really taste that ube, that like nutty vanilla flavor.
169
It is so good.
170
It kind of tastes like a mix between ube ice cream and ube Italian ice.
171
You really get those ice chunks.
172
The gelatin adds like bursts of...
173
what?
174
Pineapple?
175
citrusy, which is a really interesting complement to that like nutty vanilla flavor.
176
Really good and the textures are insane.
177
Hallow Hallow must have every single flavor and every single texture that you can have.
178
I said for spice I guess.
179
Yeah, it really must.
180
The only problem with like
181
chewing on the gelatin with so much ice in your mouth is it kind of hurts your teeth.
182
Yeah, and it gives you a brain freeze.
183
And I feel like that's what gives you the brain freeze, yeah.
184
But really delicious, it's worth it.
185
- Yeah.
186
I am so glad we finally were able to try a sandwich.
187
Everything we had was amazing.
188
The only negative, if I had to find one, is that you are going to get messy.
189
None of those sandwiches are all that easy to eat but they are delicious and so incredibly unique.
190
You truly can't find any of those anywhere else.
191
They really do taste Filipino dishes just slapped on bread.
192
It's amazing.
193
So more than worth the mess, but let us know if you'd want to try it.
194

In questa lezione, avrai l'opportunità di praticare la tua comprensione dell'inglese parlato e migliorare la tua pronuncia attraverso la tecnica del shadowing. Ti concentrerai su un video che esplora un ristorante filippino innovativo a New York City, il Sandwitz, e apprenderai vocaboli e frasi chiave legati al settore della ristorazione e alla cultura culinaria. Questi elementi ti aiuteranno non solo a comprendere meglio l'inglese, ma anche a migliorare la tua capacità di conversazione in inglese, particolarmente in contesti informali e quotidiani.
Vocabolario e frasi chiave
- restaurant - ristorante
- sandwich - panino
- ambiance - atmosfera
- to-go place - posto per asporto
- sold out - esaurito
- twist - variazione
- signature dish - piatto caratteristico
- customer experience - esperienza del cliente
Consigli per la pratica
Per trarre il massimo da questa esperienza di shadowing, segui questi suggerimenti pratici. Inizia ascoltando il video una volta per comprendere il contesto generale e i temi trattati. Poi, per migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese, ascolta una frase alla volta e prova a ripeterla immediatamente dopo. Questo metodo, noto come shadowspeak, ti aiuterà a imitare non solo le parole, ma anche il tono e la velocità del parlatore. Ricorda che il ritmo del video è piuttosto vivace; quindi, non esitare a mettere in pausa e ripetere le frasi che ti sembrano più difficili. Praticare in questo modo ti aiuterà a padroneggiare le sottigliezze della lingua e a migliorare la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese in modo significativo. Sii paziente e costante, e noterai dei progressi nella tua capacità di esprimerti in inglese.
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | bumping, which is · dip, which is · bagon, which is |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | be told · was sold · was inspired |
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have been · I've seen · We've already seen |
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
