Top 10 Boracay Restaurants We Tried 2023 (PART 1) • SULIT BA? • Filipino w/ ENG Sub
00:34.0
regardless of the presyo.
00:42.0
Hey there, poor traveler. We are Vins.
00:45.0
Kung bago ka lang dito, most of our videos are very informative,
00:49.0
so baka naman pwedeng subscribe ka muna dito sa channel natin
00:53.0
and ring the bell para updated ka kapag may bago kaming useful videos.
00:57.0
And kung sa FB ka naman nanonood,
01:00.0
help us reach 1 million followers so please like and follow our page na rin.
01:05.0
Okay, so ito na nga.
01:07.0
Karamihan sa mga pinakasikat ng mga pangalan sa food scene ng Boracay
01:10.0
ay medyo may kamahalan.
01:12.0
Pero for this video, we tried some of them
01:16.0
Pero take note that we're including establishments na natry namin within the past year
01:20.0
o yung huling tatlong Boracay trips lang namin.
01:23.0
Kung may restaurants na wala dito sa list na to,
01:26.0
it doesn't necessarily mean na ayaw namin sa mga yon.
01:31.0
Pwedeng hindi pa namin sila natry,
01:33.0
o pwedeng natry nga namin, pero it's been a long time na.
01:37.0
And please don't expect that we're going to try all the restaurants
01:42.0
And please don't expect that you'll have the exact same services as us, ha?
01:46.0
Hindi naman 100% consistent ang service ng restaurants each and every time.
01:51.0
Nag-iiba ang staff, and syempre, magkakaiba tayo ng preferences.
01:55.0
As you know, taste is largely subjective.
01:58.0
Pwedeng yung masarap sa untrained palate and unrefined taste namin ay hindi nyo bet.
02:03.0
So follow our recommendations at your own risk.
02:06.0
Daming disclaimer.
02:07.0
But now that we got those out of the way, ito na yung number 10.
02:15.0
La Carinderia is a legendary name in Siargao.
02:18.0
And ngayon ay nasa Boracay na rin sila.
02:20.0
And it just had its grand opening February this year lang.
02:24.0
This Filipino or Thai newcomer takes pride in comfort food,
02:28.0
lalong-lalong nasa kanilang handmade pasta.
02:31.0
Set inside the Nirvana Resort, madali lang malampasan ito,
02:35.0
pero short walk lang naman from the mall.
02:38.0
The restaurant sits just beside a swimming pool, open air,
02:41.0
and with a view of the resort's cute rooms.
02:43.0
Maganda and maaliwalas ang vibe. Nakakasaya.
02:47.0
We asked the waitress for recommendations and we ordered all those she mentioned.
02:51.0
Una ang tertolin...
02:53.0
Una ang tertol...
03:01.0
Una ang torteloni.
03:03.0
Una ang tertoloni.
03:07.0
Oh, by the way, baka hindi namin mapronounce ng maayos yung ibang mga foreign na salita,
03:11.0
pero roast nyo lang kami sa comment section.
03:14.0
Anyway, ulit-ulit.
03:16.0
Una ang torteloni,
03:18.0
which are ring-shaped pasta filled with cream cheese and sun-dried tomatoes
03:22.0
served in a cream-based sauce,
03:24.0
sprinkled with eggplant bits and topped with fried basil.
03:28.0
The pasta was a teensy bit denser than to my liking,
03:31.0
but everything else was on point.
03:33.0
The burst of cream cheese and tomato with every bite was so satisfying
03:37.0
and the sauce was perfectly seasoned.
03:39.0
Their adobo rice bowl leaves much room to be desired,
03:42.0
both in flavor and serving size.
03:45.0
But their guazzetto di pesce delivers naman.
03:48.0
If you love tomato soup and seafood,
03:51.0
inocombine nyan ang hotpot dish na to.
03:53.0
Mix seafood like squid, shrimps, and fish,
03:56.0
slow-cook in a rich tomato and basil sauce.
03:59.0
You have a choice kung anong carbs ang gusto mo.
04:02.0
Siyempre, doon tayo sa bread para may pang-wipe sa matitirang sauce.
04:06.0
And true enough, nasa id nga namin to ni Vince.
04:09.0
Overall, we like the vibe and the service here sa La Carinderia.
04:13.0
Ehimik lang kasi medyo secluded and very delightful and attentive yung staff.
04:22.0
Isa ito sa mga pinakakilala sa island,
04:25.0
ang Barlo ang in-house restaurant ng Two Seasons Boracay Resort,
04:28.0
and sobrang sought-after ang kanilang four-cheese pizza.
04:32.0
Lagi itong kasama sa mga listahan ng mga pagkaing kailangan daw matry sa Boracay.
04:37.0
Kaya naman, ayun, inrya namin.
04:40.0
Kailangan daw eh.
04:41.0
Twice pa nga kami nag-attempt.
04:43.0
Noong una, sobrang haba ng pila.
04:45.0
Eh, gutom na kami nun.
04:46.0
So, hindi na namin pinush.
04:48.0
So, nag-decide na lang kami na bumalik the next day before lunch.
04:52.0
11.30 am pa lang, ando na kami, and wala ngang pila.
04:56.0
But in fairness, I still think na this pizza lives up to its reputation.
05:00.0
It combines the subtle and delicate flavors of mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar, and blue cheese
05:05.0
served on a crispy, super-thin crust, which is how I prefer my pizza.
05:10.0
Manipis lang talaga, pero mukha pa rin siyang makapal dahil sa generous amount ng mga cheeses.
05:16.0
To be honest, the younger me wouldn't have liked it,
05:19.0
bilang lumaki tayo sa Eden Cheese.
05:21.0
But now that I'm older, ito na yung na-appreciate ko dito sa pizza na to.
05:26.0
That not one of them is overpowering the others.
05:29.0
They just all work together to create this mild, cheesy symphony.
05:33.0
830 pesos ang buong pizza, pero malaki naman ito.
05:37.0
Pwede namang i-take out ang matitira.
05:39.0
Isa pang bestseller dito ay ang Sizzling Oyster Sisig,
05:43.0
which are oysters na battered and fried to a crisp sa hot plate.
05:48.0
Dito, medyo hati kami ng opinion.
05:50.0
Ako, nagustuhan ko ito.
05:52.0
Sizzling style, pero may crunch.
05:54.0
Si Yosh, hindi masyado.
05:56.0
Baevalves kasi are some of my favorite food in the world.
05:59.0
And while I appreciate the originality and ingenuity of this dish, lalo na yung texture,
06:04.0
I feel like the batter takes away from the seafood flavor
06:07.0
and doesn't allow the main protein, the oysters, to shine.
06:11.0
Still worth ordering though to satisfy your curiosity.
06:14.0
And kung natry niyo na ito before,
06:16.0
let us know kung nagustuhan niyo ba or hindi sa comment section below.
06:24.0
Isa to sa favorite ko talaga,
06:26.0
and kumakain ako dito every time na nasa Boracay ako.
06:29.0
So nitong huling trip namin,
06:31.0
nakakatawa kasi natagalan kami bago ito nakita.
06:34.0
Wala na kasi ito sa alam kong location niya,
06:36.0
so ginalugad namin ang D Mall.
06:38.0
Apparently, lumipat na sila a bit closer sa beach,
06:42.0
pero sa same area pa rin.
06:44.0
Spicebird's poster dish is its grilled piripiri chicken.
06:48.0
Of course, piripiri chicken has roots that can be traced back to Africa,
06:53.0
when the Portuguese introduced bird's eye chili peppers from Brazil.
06:57.0
Piripiri or peri peri is Swahili for pepper,
07:01.0
but today has become synonymous with the hot sauce made from it.
07:05.0
And this sauce hogs the spotlight here at Spicebird.
07:09.0
Unfortunately, for some reason that day,
07:12.0
the chicken we got was not how I remembered it.
07:15.0
But it was salvaged by their four sauces.
07:18.0
The signature piripiri,
07:20.0
the spicy hot bird,
07:22.0
the citrusy garlic and lime,
07:24.0
and the aromatic curry curry.
07:26.0
What I got really excited about was the chicken livers and bacon.
07:30.0
Now, I have a penchant for chicken liver.
07:32.0
Paborito ko yan talaga.
07:34.0
And dito sa Spicebird, it is cooked with bacon from the Sunnyside Cafe,
07:38.0
onions, and doused with piripiri sauce then.
07:42.0
The flavor, fantastic. Nailed it.
07:44.0
But some bites were grainy and had a bitter, almost leather-like aftertaste.
07:48.0
Pero naubos ko pa rin kasi nga favorite ko talaga yung atay.
07:52.0
Surprisingly, the best part of the meal for me was the piripiri sisig.
07:56.0
It was smoky, greasy, and sizzling hot.
07:59.0
Exactly how I want my sisig.
08:01.0
But it puts their own spin to it.
08:04.0
For starters, meron din tong piripiri sauce,
08:06.0
which deliciously complemented the familiar sisig profile.
08:09.0
It's also topped with egg and slices of green chili.
08:16.0
For number 7, layo muna tayo sa beach ng konti.
08:19.0
If you walk farther inland mula sa D Mall,
08:22.0
you'll find Two Brown Boys,
08:24.0
isa sa mga institution na pagdating sa nightlife.
08:27.0
Dahil hindi beachfront, hindi ito masyadong sikat.
08:30.0
Pero alam to ng mga locals and mga medyo matagal nang nakatira sa island.
08:34.0
Sa totoo lang, pumunta kami dito ni Yosh hindi para kumain, kundi para uminom.
08:39.0
But as it turned out, may ipagmamalaki rin sila pagdating sa bar shows nila.
08:44.0
Dami rin item sa menu nila, but they're proudest of their burgers.
08:48.0
And the staff highly recommended the Sir Matt Burger.
08:52.0
Sobrang juicy ng pati nila, drizzled with pico de gallo and cheese.
08:57.0
And may bacon, caramelized onions, and lettuce din.
09:01.0
And served with barbecue sauce and garlic aioli.
09:05.0
We also opted to have onion stacks on the side.
09:08.0
It's greasy and a bit messy to eat, but definitely one of the best burgers I had in Boracay.
09:14.0
Pero syempre, hindi kami umalis nang hindi umiinom.
09:17.0
They have an impressive bar selection and mura ang drinks,
09:21.0
at least compared sa ibang mga bars dito sa isla.
09:24.0
Coming in, I knew I was gonna order a Maretto Sour.
09:28.0
Kasi yan naman lagi ang ino-order ko, and apparently, bestseller din nila.
09:32.0
They put a tangy twist to the classic drink by using calamansi.
09:37.0
The mischievous asim of calamansi works well with the sweetness of the liquor.
09:43.0
Another recommendation was their Mamaru.
09:48.0
A concoction of coconut rum and white rum with blue curacao, grenadine, and pineapple.
09:54.0
Not a fan of coconut rum in general, but I was still able to finish it no problem,
09:59.0
which probably says more about me than the drink.
10:02.0
And we also ordered Bulabog Uptown, another Two Brown Boys original,
10:06.0
which is a complex libation that mixes vodka, melon liquor, triple sec, grenadine, pineapple juice,
10:13.0
and wait for it, calamansi ulit, which at this point was not surprising na.
10:18.0
This was the third bar that I have tried in Boracay na gumagamit ng calamansi or Philippine lemons.
10:24.0
Mahihiya si Beyonce kasi dito sa Boracay, when life gives them lemons, they don't make lemonade.
10:30.0
They make cocktails.
10:32.0
Overall, we had a great time dito sa Two Brown Boys.
10:36.0
And my only regret was sana hindi kami kumain before pumunta dito para natry namin yung iba pang burgers.
10:42.0
But I guess that gives us something to look forward to sa next time.
10:46.0
By the way, you can score a 5% discount dito if you book a voucher sa Klook.
10:51.0
Ilalagay na lang namin yung link sa description and pinned comment.
11:01.0
If you're wondering kung saan kami kumain before nagpunta sa Two Brown Boys,
11:07.0
Ito ang Little Taj Indian Street Kitchen.
11:10.0
Sa pangalan pa lang, guess mo na ang inihahain dito.
11:14.0
Mostly Indian street food.
11:16.0
Isa ito sa mga dumarami ng mga South Asian food spots dito sa Boracay.
11:21.0
It's owned by Patrick and Shreya Florencio,
11:24.0
the couple behind a few other establishment restos in the island like Noni's and Mucho's.
11:30.0
Shreya is of Indian descent so it's no wonder they set up an Indian resto too.
11:35.0
Dahil d-mall ito, ilang beses na namin itong nadadaanan pero ngayon pa lang namin na try.
11:41.0
Kasi it turns into a bar serving beer, kombucha, and cocktails among others.
11:47.0
May live music pa that night.
11:49.0
Inaas namin ng waiter kung ano ang mga bestsellers nila and yun ang inorder namin.
11:54.0
Unang dumating ang stuffed paratha, which is crispy flatbread na stuffed with either chicken or cheese.
12:02.0
Cheese yung piniliin namin.
12:04.0
Ang laking ng serving nito, 8 slices.
12:06.0
Served with tikka masala dip.
12:08.0
Hindi naman sya ganon ka-oily pero nakakatakam yung paglisin nito and pag-ooze ng cheese.
12:14.0
Halos sabay na dumating ang tikka masala and kaday na para yung chicken version ang piniliin namin.
12:20.0
The look and taste profile of these two dishes are almost identical.
12:25.0
They are both curries with tomatoes with similar consistencies.
12:29.0
But the tikka masala is creamier.
12:32.0
Mas familiar ako na maliliit ang chunks ng chicken
12:35.0
so I was delightfully surprised na malalaki ang cut ng meat dito, which is a welcome treat.
12:40.0
But each piece is very tender and moist.
12:43.0
Soaked in a creamy complex spice blend.
12:46.0
Yung kaday naman is spicier pero medyo tridor yung anghang.
12:50.0
Sa umpisa parang wala lang but it intensifies habang tumatagal.
12:55.0
Si Yosh pawis na pawis habang kumakain.
12:58.0
Mahilig naman ako sa maanghang so I loved it.
13:02.0
And not just this, I enjoyed everything we ordered.
13:05.0
For outsiders like us, Indian food is best known for bold, strong, almost in-your-face flavors.
13:11.0
But kung hindi ka pagganoan kasanay sa Indian food, this is an excellent place to start.
13:16.0
To me lang, everything was just a teensy bit under-seasoned.
13:19.0
Pero baka ako lang yun kasi medyo maalat talaga ang panlasa ko.
13:23.0
Baka nga, kasi sa akin naman, sakto lang ang alat.
13:27.0
Minsan kasi yung maalat na sa iba, kulang pa rin sakin.
13:33.0
But what I loved most about Little Taj was the service.
13:36.0
The staff was so nice and attentive.
13:38.0
Diba kanina Vince mentioned na I was sweating a lot as I was slurping the kaday sauce?
13:44.0
Rod, a member of the staff, might have noticed too kasi he gave me yogurt to help with the heat.
13:49.0
He was also very friendly the whole time.
13:51.0
So kudos to you, Rod!
13:53.0
Anyway, kung gusto mo ng up to 15% discount dito sa Little Taj, you can purchase a voucher sa Klook.
13:59.0
