Kumusta du bees!

We're back in Cebu baby!

Now let's get back into our delicious Filipino fast food journey.

Joining me are my friends Meryl and Melvin who will be our guides to show us some of their favorite Filipino fast food chains.

First up is McDonald's.

Let's see if we'll be loving it.

Since opening its first location in 1981, McDonald's is one of the most beloved fast food chains in the Philippines.

With over 740 stores in the country, it even has a beloved nickname, Mekdo.

Not only do they offer iconic global menu items like the Big Mac, Quarter Pounder, and McChicken, but they also have menu items adapted to the Filipino taste that they only sell here in the Philippines.

So today we're putting these local favorites to the test in In our great Filipino fast food showdown, will McDo actually make do?

To me, having rice at McDonald's and also utensils like this, wild.

And what I absolutely loved was also the unlimited gravy pump.

You don't get unlimited gravy pump anywhere else in the world other than in Philippines McDonald's.

Chicken.

even with the gravy pub still holds up rice not mushy very important i used to think koreans were the biggest rice lovers but actually i think philippines might like rice more than koreans i'm giving this pretty high rating actually i'm gonna give this a 9 out of 10.

i don't know if jolly bees can win over this this is gonna be a hard one to beat next up mac spaghetti I'm a big fan of the Jollibee spaghetti.

I'm giving this a 7.5 out of 10.

This is a Coke float.

Basically, Coca-Cola with ice cream sundae and a Hershey chocolate syrup drizzle.

Tastes like what a Coke float should taste like, so a Coke float out of 10.

I like that the gravy is smothered on top.

The gravy has nice speckles of pepper in it.

When they said pepper, they really meant pepper because you get that nice zinginess and freshness cutting through some of this hamburger steak i think it's the same patty as they use in mcmuffins solid 8.3 out of 10.

chicken fillet a la king what does a la king mean a la does anyone know what a la king means oh a la king just means like a king there's actually a very strong spice coming from the chicken fillet which i did not expect but it pairs really really well with the creamy sauce on top.

The sauce honestly tastes like, you know movie theaters and you get that really big butter pump in the U.S.

That's kind of what it tastes like but in creamy form.

Chicken a la king, 7.8 out of 10.

Wow actually this is really spicy actually and nobody would have expected that.

Am I just weak?

I'm gonna wash it down with the cotton candy float.

When my mama told me you have to eat all colors to be healthy, I don't think she really meant cotton candy blue.

I feel like I just drank straight up Hubba Bubba in liquid form.

I kind of like it.

Surprising?

8 out of 10.

So this is a new menu item and it's the Matcha McFlurry.

I feel like the whole world is going through a matcha phase and Philippines is not an exception either.

You know those like green matcha flavored Kit Kats that you get from Japan once in a blue moon?

That's what this tastes like because the matcha gives it a little bitterness.

I think this might be the best dessert I've tried at McDonald's.

This beats apple pie.

Let that sit with you.

9.5 out of 10.

That's gonna be hard to beat.

Do I also have a matcha bias?

You betcha, but instead of betcha, you matcha.

We're headed to our next destination, Chao King.

Chao King is a popular Filipino fast food chain that serves Filipino style Chinese food.

It's always very popular during lunchtime so we decided to go check it out.

Okay Meryl, where are we?

We're at Chao King.

They usually serve Chinese Filipino food.

I have never been to a fast food chain that's been proud to show what is inside the kitchen and it is so clean.

Bonus points to Chao King for that.

Which one should we start with?

Let's start with this one.

Pan Sit Canton.

Cheers!

Mamma mia!

It's not too oily, but all the noodles are not clumped, and it's really nice.

Considering that this is a fast food restaurant, I'm giving this an 8 out of 10.

So the next one is Shaofan with fried Shaomai.

Shaomai is shrimp dumplings wrapped in wonton paper, And underneath is just fried rice.

I've never had fried shaw mai.

The crunchiness is really really nice.

Would you say that this is the most popular item at Chao Peng?

Yeah!

When it got served, it had a little lid on.

And when I opened the lid, the smokiness, the wok hei was really intoxicating.

And I have never expected that from a fast food fried rice to have that smoky smell.

Wow!

Panda Express has nothing on Chao King.

It's king for good reason.

Chao King!

9.3 out of 10.

Just something to take the edge off.

You don't know that TikTok trend?

You can also eat it as ula.

Something that we always pair with rice.

And this is dipped in the sweet chili sauce.

Cheers!

The pork mixture inside wrapped around a lumpia wrapper and then deep-fried.

Is this the best lumpia that I've ever tried in my life?

No.

I'm giving this one a 6 out of 10.

So this one is kangkong and then bagoong.

So bagoong is shrimp paste.

100

So the shrimp paste packs a punch.

101

The mix of these two is really really nice.

102

I think it's the first time I've also ever seen greens at a fast food restaurant.

103

Some Filipino likes chow king because most fast foods here in the Philippines don't serve vegetables.

104

The fact that there is vegetables served at a fast food restaurant gets high, high points.

105

I would rate this 9 out of 10.

106

Okay, so the last one we have here is shaw pao.

107

So this is a Filipino take on a Chinese char siu bao.

108

Inside is the caramelized roasted pork and then outside covering it is a yeasted dough.

109

It's fluffy It's not dense.

110

Nice kick of cinnamon powering through.

111

That was something unexpected, but this slaps!

112

I'm impressed.

113

The infamous Chao King, Halo Halo.

114

What does Halo Halo mean?

115

Mix mix So this is the Koolam jelly, cherries banana, beans, and more beans.

116

And then underneath is a bed of ice and then sweetened condensed coconut milk.

117

I love Halo Halo.

118

It's June right now.

119

It's hot.

120

And this is what really cools me down.

121

And I love coconut-based desserts.

122

So I think this is just crazy, crazy good.

123

But Meryl was saying off camera that she has another Halo Halo joint that she personally likes.

124

And the next place we're going to is where they serve Meryl's favorite, halo halo, Mang Inasal.

125

So far, Chow King ranks first with a close second from McDonald's.

126

On to our next location.

127

Mang Inasal.

128

Mang Inasal is a Filipino fast food restaurant that specializes in grilled chicken inasal.

129

A modern take on a traditional Filipino meal with affordable prices.

130

Halo Halo and crema de leche.

131

Should we try the Halo Halo first?

132

I can see why you like this one more.

133

Premier.

134

There's more coconut inas.

135

I feel like the ratio of ice was higher at Chao King.

136

And I like that there's more ube in it too.

137

I'm giving this one a 9.6.

138

I think it's actually better than the matcha ice cream McFlurry that we tried at McDo.

139

I love coconut desserts, that's my number one favorite.

140

And my second favorite is banana desserts.

141

And my third favorite is leche flan.

142

So this has all the components of everything that I like.

143

So I was thinking this was gonna taste like a banana cream pie.

144

But there's actually a really lightness to it that I'm not sure where it's coming from.

145

It's a little bit more fruity.

146

And this one I wouldn't get, I'm giving a 9.

147

This is actually a solo fiesta meal.

148

It's like a party for one.

149

So another thing that I've noticed is you can look into the kitchen of Mang In A Sal.

150

And this is a barbecue chicken restaurant.

151

And they're using actual coals cooked right in front of you as you order.

152

Well actually if you want to eat like an OG Filipino, you can use your hands.

153

When we eat with our hands, we do this.

154

Like form it.

155

Do something like this.

156

And then you use your thumb to push the rice.

157

There's something very satisfying about eating grilled meats with your hands and I like taking it a step further with rice The thing is, this is fast food that doesn't feel like fast food That's why it cracked the code So Mang In A Style is going all the way to the top of our list Can somebody figure out how to bring this to Korea?

158

Our fourth location of the day is BINGA LAKING GOOD KFC Okay, we definitely need to try the sisig rice bowl.

159

Sisig is one of the most iconic dishes here in the Philippines and it's sold at KFC.

160

The infamous zinger meal.

161

And not just any rice, it is buttered rice!

162

Wow, let's try it.

163

Very salty.

164

Unfortunately, too buttery and too cheesy.

165

Coming from Mangina-san, KFC, you let me down.

166

6 out of 10.

167

Sorry.

168

The seasick meal.

169

are small chopped fried chicken bites with sisig smothered as well as mayo.

170

Now if we're really trying to get technical, sisig isn't supposed to be made of mayo.

171

But mayo is kind of working as the binding agent to make sure everything is homogenized together.

172

Let's take a bite.

173

I love rice.

174

I love mayo.

175

I love fried chicken.

176

I love sisig.

177

And I like hard-boiled egg.

178

And the combo of this together is...

179

7 out of 10.

180

I'm gonna wash it down with a little bit of a royal flow.

181

I asked what royal is and it is basically the same thing as Fanta because they have the same logos Fanta with soft serve on top.

182

Let's try.

183

Orange soda is one of those things that I would never ever order for myself but when I get it I'm like why have I not been trying this for a long time.

184

It's so good.

185

9 out of 10.

186

More cream soda for everyone.

187

Spaghetti.

188

This is our third spaghetti of the day.

189

This one also has little wiener sausages.

190

The spaghetti is better here than McDonald's.

191

More saltier, less sweet.

192

This one's my favorite by so far.

193

This one, I'm giving it an 8.3 out of 10.

194

KFC, brownie.

195

I've never seen brownies sold at a fast food chain, let alone KFC.

196

Packaging is very interesting.

197

It does look gooey or like poop.

198

We're all thinking it.

199

I just had to say it.

200

This is slapstick 50s humor.

201

Surprisingly really good.

202

It tastes like it's fresh out of the box with lots of preservatives, just the way I like it.

203

Out of everything that we've tried at KFC, I would actually come back for the brownie.

204

I feel wrong to say 8.3 out of 10.

205

Let's move on to our final location of the day.

206

Jabi.

207

Unfortunately, Colonel Sanders is going all the way to the back.

208

Too many things happening in the main focus.

209

The chicken was way too dry.

210

Jollibee!

211

best friend Jollibee, it's here, hey kids!

212

Melvin, what's your go-to order at Jollibee?

213

It's always been the chicken joy.

214

With the rice, so...

215

Spirited rice, perfect.

216

Okay, cheers Melvin!

217

Juicy and delicious.

218

Wow, even with the gravy, it's still crunchy.

219

I think the chicken itself is much better here at Jollibee's compared to McDonald's.

220

I'm giving this 9.3 out of 10.

221

Pretty high.

222

I would say though rice tiny bit mushy.

223

I might be demoted down to 9.1 actually.

224

Rice is a tiny bit mushy compared to McDonald's but I think it depends on the location.

225

Let's try the Filipino spaghetti.

226

In Filipino we're using like banana instead of tomato so that's why it's sweet.

227

I like KFCs better.

228

I think this one's sweeter than KFC.

229

Melvin was just talking about it earlier, but for a lot of Filipinos, they have a really like sentimental attachment to Jollibee's, right?

230

The taste of Jollibee feels like home in every Filipino because since childhood, our parents basically would say, if you're good at school, I'll buy you Jollibee.

231

So basically, every time we eat Jollibee, it feels rewarding.

232

But I think I'm gonna give this a solid 8 out of 10.

233

Solid-y.

234

Solid-y.

235

This is burger steak, very soft.

236

What are you rating this?

237

9 out of 10.

238

Because I'm a Filipino.

239

I like having it with rice.

240

I think rice makes everything better.

241

Hot dog time.

242

They call it Jolly Hot Dog.

243

So I actually didn't try this last time I was here.

244

What is the components of a Jolly Hot Dog?

245

The bread, the cheese, the hot dog, and the ketchup.

246

Compared to the hot dog that I'm used to, this is definitely sweeter from the banana ketchup.

247

But I like it.

248

I would say this, 8 out of 10 for me.

249

The infamous?

250

Beach main goodbye.

251

This I think is one of the best desserts that you can ever find in fast food chains.

252

I already know how good this is gonna taste.

253

So crunchy.

254

Yeah.

255

And the mango inside is so sweet.

256

It's jammy, it's peachy, it's crunchy.

257

It has everything that you want in a dessert.

258

What are you rating this one, Melvin?

259

It's like a betrayal if I don't rate this a 10.

260

So it's basically, it's all a 10 out of 10.

261

Certified Jollibee lover.

262

So, Melvin is biased, but even for me, it's hard to find anything that tops peach mango pie.

263

To be honest, I personally think this is better than the Halo Halo at Mang Inasal.

264

I'm so sorry, Meryl!

265

I'm so sorry!

266

There's nothing that really beats this.

267

This is...

268

You know what?

269

I'm giving this one a 10 out of 10 too.

270

It's also because it's my favorite dessert of all times.

271

Am I biased?

272

This is the end of our Filipino fast food journey.

273

We have Team Mang Inasal versus Team Jollibee!

274

And you know what?

275

Both were really really good, but I have to say I'm giving the win to Mang In A Sal this time!

276

Wow!

277

I'm so sorry, Melvin!

278

But Mang In A Sal really blew it out of the water with real roasted chicken, charcoal grill, chicken oil!

279

It really was mind-blowing for me, so you get the win today!

280

So Jollibee comes in joint third with McDonald's especially because they didn't have my favorite coconut pandan sundae.

281

A special twist actually lies in the darker business side of things, which is every fast food chain that we went to is actually owned by Jollibee Corporation.

282

So in the end, Jollibee always wins.

283

Thank you so much for watching and a special thanks to today's sponsor, Squarespace.

284

you

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
