I am a Japanese subscriber who used to live in Maginhawa when I was studying in UPD as an exchange student. Of course I love this place and Rodics was also famous because it had another branch inside the UPD. I remembered those days there thanks to your video! Thank you and I'm happy you enjoyed this area!😍😍😍

Jessica's content ideas ay napakahusay, very informative, entertaining and knowledgeable. The topic is very detailed and well explained. Kudos Jessica! You are the real/best influencer🇰🇷🇵🇭.🥰 💓❤️💓

Jessica brings the Creativity of Korean in her channel. Its rare to find a Series like this in the Mainstream of Philippines. Kudos Ate Jessica

Her contents are getting more interesting each episodes 💕

As much as I want you/this series to be in a tv program, I'm happy na may ganitong ginagawa si Jessica sa channel niya where she can do whatever she wants para magawa niya in her own way yung content niya. Great job ate Jessica!

Thank you jessica for sharing this kind of series that shows different Filipino foods in different places in manila.. Sana malibot mo ang buong Pilipinas para matikman mo lahat ang mga ulams ng lahat ng lugar sa pinas. hehhe. ingat ka always🥰💙💓💙🥰

I love Jessica trying hard to converse Manileños in tagalog, its well appreciated 🥰🤗

Jessica is so cute. Very honest in her comments but respectful. Very innocent si Jessica. I enjoy watching her. She is so genuine.

Galing! Goose bumps! For a Korean with a Filipino heart to do this? Really. Goosebumps. Excited for the next one!

So happy that you visited Maginhawa! If you plan to return in Maginhawa and would like to explore more areas, I'd recommend the following places: 1. Ate Fe's - Try their Sizzling Sisig 2. Friuli Trattoria - Try their 4 cheese Pizza 3. Buen Comer - (This place is already inside the village but their food is so good). Try their Kare-Kare Burrito. 4. Shao Kao

the quality of jessicas vlog is like a tv production kinabahan lang si ate baka interview na dadalhin siya sa kung saan

Paborito sa Maginhawa: 1:13 Paborito 1: Provenciano 1:53 Time to find Provenciano! 2:37 Found It! 3:07 Mga Kuya Driver 3:58 It's Time to Eat!!! 4:15 Adobong Bicolano 5:32 Laing 8:38 Paborito 2: Crazy Wings 9:50 Paborito 3: Mudcakes by V Cafe 11:13 Busy ate 11:20 Garlic Parmesan Soy Garlic 12:35 Milo Dinosaur 13:50 Paborito 4: Rodic's 16:06 Tapsilog 17:58 Caldereta 17:59 Kuya best caldereta 19:21 Kuya best caldereta 19:35 Kuya iced americano 20:18 Kuya iced americano 20:22 Iced Americano 20:42 Mudcake 22:00 Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce 23:22 Rodic's

You really can tell that the foods in Rodic's are good since they've been standing still since it's first day. Everything in this video is just stunning and wonderfully made. Kudos to the team 🫰

"I'm gonna get one ice americano even if it's 7PM... because I'm Korean" 😂 You're a treasure Jess.

Hi Jessica, the Caldereta we cook always has coconut milk. It’s not a bicolano Caldereta. That’s just how we cook it….at least in the Luzon area (Bulacan, Pampanga). To us it’s not Caldereta unless it has coconut milk 👍🏻 Love your channel. Your heart is definitely “Pinoy” ❤ Keep it up.

I have a good feeling about this new series, "Paborito." Can't wait to get back to the Philippines and try these restaurants.

Hi Jessica, all viewers (will probably subscribe) and subscribers will love this Series. And when you asked why the Adobo was so white, because in our place (Bicol) its called Adobo sa Gata (Adobo using Coco Milk), of course with Chilis. Actually, the original Adobo is really white because there's no Soy Sauce in it, only Garlic, Salt and Vinegar. BTW, continue talking with the Locals in Tagalog it's the only way you can hone your Tagalog and be fluent in no time. Good luck and be safe always. Next Vlog please!!!!

I love the facial expression of Jessica when she taste the food and her giving positive feedback 🤗🤗💞

I love how jess is really at home talking to locals, like you can tell excellent Pinoy enthusiam vibe when she ask questions. Yun bang jolly na street smart. Good job jess, God bless.

And with this series, Jessica will now guide my future food trips. Awesome content right here. Whoever thought of making this series deserve an award. Also, Jessica is still number 1 예쁘다 in the world

Love how it is so informative and same time funny not just for the foreigners but also to the filipinos!! Excited for the next episode of Paborito! Congrats Jessica ❤❤❤❤

Ang ganda ng first episode. Grabe!🥰 Sobrang entertaining. Can't wait for the 2nd episode. Ang galing mo Jessica, and your team din siyempre. 🥰

i highly recommend this show or vlogs to my kids and friends it was very wholesome and entertaining, Jessica is really versatile and smart she knows how to fill every Filipino's heart, i love her !

Jessica never disappoints, love this video. She is so energetic and natural with her reviews. Makes me hungry watching it! More and more episodes please!

Excellent series thus far, Jessica! Always wanted a series like this and it is beyond my expectations for real! So many hidden gems that are locally owned. Will definitely use this and future episodes as reference if and when I come back. Hope it becomes a regular series. Lol I definitely cackled when the local dude and his companions suggested you get an iced americano because you’re Korean based on what they learned from Kdramas lol. So many neighborhoods and so many go-to spots! Thanks for this JL and crew.

I want to be part of this series with Jessica very, very much It looks so fun and delicious😁

WTH, I swear these kind of series like the Trabaho series should be on TV. ❤️ fricking love it. Bitin!

Awwws so adorable Jessica speaking Tagalog. I think you will learn how to speak Tagalog doing this😊

I love how you explain the dishes you eat. you are really good at explaining anything and everything. Keep it up... More quality vlogs to come.🥰💚🤍❤

congrats on the 1st episode of your new series.. well i will say this now.. every filipino food with sarsa or sauce taste best with gata or coconut milk..aside from the foods you tried here with gata i will recommend for you to try pininyahang manok with gata.. and also i need to praise the quality of your contents.. it's up their with even veteran filipino creators with successful youtube channel.. and i must say.. you now set the bar in terms of quality of the content among korean content creators here in the PH.. there are koreans who started way before you but you managed to caught up and actually got ahead of them.. and i'm not invalidating them.. just impressed with how much you have grown as a content creator here in the philippines.. but i hope even with the success you are having now as a content creator you will never forget to keep your head in the sky and your feet on the ground..

Hi Jessica! Your vlog are always worth watching! I love how you come up with your brilliant ideas of your content! The last time I keep on tracking the trabaho series now I can't wait for the next episode of your Paborito series! And I love how you look so simple and very polite to my kababayan! For me you are the best vloggers your topics are always informative and fun! Keep it up and congratulations! 🥰

Kudos to Jessica and her crew for picking small, independent businesses and promoting the local economy. Mom-and-pop shops, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, and street food vendors need all the help they can get to bounce back from the pandemic and get through hard times. So thank you for featuring them in your series. Perhaps one day you get to check out other provinces and feature their local sites, traditions, and food. Looking forward to more creative ideas and content from your team. Well done, guys.

I have been watching in this channel for years now and I gotta be honest I feel like a proud mom hearing her kid sang ABC straight without missing a letter and tune when you spoke straight tagalog 😅💚

You're doing great with your tagalog words now! So proud of you 🥰 mabuhay ka Jessica!!

Mga vlogger sa pinas mag isip isip na din kayo ng content niyo. Hindi yung puro paawa paiyak iyak, tulong tulong kunwari ng 5k pero kikitain sa isang video 100k. May sound effects pa na nakakaiyak. Haha. SKL. Anyways, lagi ako naghhintay ng vlog nitong si Jessica at lagi ko nakikita at nararamdaman sa sarili ko na mas masaya siya panuorin at nakakalibang at isa pa nakakaproud na din maging pinoy kung ganito lagi. More power and please continue your doing making us proud. (nosebleed)

A few months ago, an aunt of mine said the exact same thing- once you've had French pastries in a Parisian cafe or patisserie, nothing will ever come close to that experience of pure heaven. Nothing will ever come close to that high. These are some excellent recommendations for the Teachers Village area. Will definitely check them out when I find myself on that side of town. And Rodic's kaldereta sounds like a winner. I'll trust your sensibility and sophisticated palate on that. Is it your ultimate favorite Super Saiyan dish?

So happy Jessica went to Diliman area for this! Some inputs on Jessica’s observations: - RODICS - this is the go-to tapsilogan in Diliman for UP students and other diliman students. Their Tapsilog is really unique because it’s shredded and the right saltiness and spice. Army navy’s tapsilog can’t compare with Rodic’s tapsilog. Jessica mentioned that the caldereta had a Bicol vibe - maybe it’s A SIGN THAT JESSICA SHOULD GO TO BICOL. ❤️ - Provenciano - the Adobong Bicolano should have been adobo sa asin (vinegar, garlic, and salt) but they added coconut milk to make it more like bicol express; it’s also so interesting that Jessica chose Laing because it’s also a popular dish in Bicol

I think the adobo you had was an alternative creamier variant. Chicken adobo with some lime/calamansi is good too. And laing is a favorite of mine. Still waiting for my mom to cook that one. Balaw Balaw Restraurant and Art Gallery serves local and traditional dishes. If you ever do some more food content within Pampanga, let me know. I'm happy to bring you to some delicious local restaurants. Anyways, keep being awesome! ^^

My Paboritos in Maginhawa would be: Ate Fe's for their Lechon Rice (it's right beside the 7eleven in the first shot of the video. One of the OGs even before Maginhawa became a food hub.) Buen Comer's Kare-Kare Burrito for Fil-Mex goodness (not on the main street tho, but same area) Rodic's, of course. Can't go wrong with their Tapsilog (They also have a branch inside UP near the theater) Friuli Trattoria for their pizza and pasta (Also one of the OGs and very close to our hangout back in college) All of these are really good, and very budget-friendly. 😀😀

You have to go to Pampanga! Have a separate schedule for San Fernando, Angeles, Bacolor, and Guagua. Best recommend: Bale Capampangan, Apung Lucing, Apag Marangle, Binulu Restaurant, Matam-ih Authentic Kapampangan Cuisine, Cafè Fleur, Bale Dutung. Special mention: Razons, Nathaniel's Bakeshop, and Susie's Cuisine

damn much better series than what big media companies put out.

Love Jessica. She knows what is really good food in the Philippines. Makes me want to go back and visit those places. Thank you!

Adobo with coconut milk is always the best version of adobo you will eat. It is what makes adobo light colored. A must include place for your series is Malabon. I think you'd need to categorize your visit there per visit per episode. An episode for desserts, episode for Pancit, episode for hole in the walls and an episode for Crispy Pata.

Ms. Jessica, if mapadpad po kayo sa U.P. Diliman, kindly visit IsKape (kapihan sa U.P. Diliman) 🤗 Maganda din po maabutan niyo yung famous U.P. Lantern Parade, yearly ginaganap, ngayon nalang po ulit mauulit this Dec. 21 po , sana makapunta po kayo, maeenjoy niyo po yung mga Lanterns, Concert etc. Hehehhe!

I love this new series! You're very articulate in giving your impressions and it makes your viewers crave to taste those restaurants! 🤭😅

I love this series! Jessica is so humble ♥ Also its so funny and cute watching her try to speak Tagalog ahahahah

The tapsilog is good but I like the more tradionally-marinated ones. My go-to order in Rodic's is the baconsilog. They used to have thicker, home-made cuts back then. I still like the one they serve now but the taste is very familiar and common. Prices used to be affordable. Should have tried Crazy Wings before.

From the trailer itself, I knew this series will be good. Really love Jessica's authentic reaction. It made me smile everytime she looks mindblown how good the food was. It was a great first episode. Cheers!

As soon as I saw your thumbnail I knew it was Rodics ♥️ All time fave back in college when it was sold at the UP Diliman Shopping center 😊 never grows old . Maginhawa vlog brings a lot of fond memories . I don’t know if Tomato Kick , Friuli, and Grill Queen are still there but so good too..

We have 2 Rodics near our place, one in Congressional ave. and one in Visayas ave. Quezon City. They used to have the best Tapsilog when they had it in Proj. 6 QC and inside U.P. But for me now Tapsi ni Vivian tastes better and they have the best turo turo dishes 😄

New subscriber here! I love it when everytime she entered into a restaurant asking permission to vlog before entering.. Such a kind of high RESPECT 💙💙

Just finished haha. Very nice pilot episode! Sa dami mong pinuntahan gusto ko lahat i-try!

I LOVE this new series. Jessica is just 😘. She's really way above your typical vloggers. I really think she is due for some of those year-end vlog/KZfaq awards. I'm so looking forward to the other neighborhoods she'll be visiting.

I luv this segment. You are actually informing me where to go and dine when I go to Manila ❤. Keep doing what you luv!

Its really hard to find a food place that not so will many knowthat is very good. Mostly if the resto or food store is good they will be packed because the food is really good and they dont need to advertise it. From word of mouth people will visit their places. Like Rodic's its been a popular tapsi ever since in UP area. I can attest to that its been one of the best tapsi places in PH. There are other good tapsi places, but Rodic's is really different. Since you really love eating. These series of yours will open up your palette to different resto that will certainly have your taste buds taste some of the best dishes in PH. Wait for more episodes.

I really love your videos. When I was in a hospital for a month last year, your videos helped me forget my sickness for a while.

after watching Jessica eat at Rodic's & the way she described how good tapsi & caldereta is makes me crave for it. Hahaha 🤣😋

Wow, this video will make me go back to Maginhawa for another foodtrip fo' sure 🥰 Thank you Jessica 🌹

wow this is amazing. i wish i can go back there but it's difficult. rodic's really hits the spot with their tapsilog

Jessica Lee I’ve learned so much about the vibrant unique culture of the Philippines through your awesome content. Looking forward to a new year of awesomeness!🎉

i love how you describe ate girl that suggested crazy wings as "busy ate" HAHAHAHHAHA

Kudos Jessica! These are the vlogs that we want, asking locals and honest reviews. Now I wanna go to Maginhawa! It's been years since I went there. Keep going! We gotchu!

My sister is from UP Diliman (I’m from UP Baguio hence the picture) But a little history/fun fact about Rodic’s is that one of their first stores opened inside of UP. It was located in the shopping center (which caught on fire a few years ago). Thanks to my sister, I’m lucky I was able to eat there and their tapsi was totally different from the modern Rodic’s restaurants now. The vibes is also very karinderia. It’s a shame that the place was burned down. Nonetheless, the modern day Rodic’s still is above most tapsi places.

Just discovered this new Series by Jessica last night and NEEDED to start from episode 1. Great job by Jessica and her team on this concept and execution, it's so good!

Jessica, please put the prices of food for this series 😊 nice 1st episode!!! Love it 😍

I really enjoyed the first episode. So much fun to watch. Can't wait for the next paborito series 😍

Wow I love this new series! Keep it going Jessica. . . 🥰💕 Please work harder to improve your tagalog (I know your doing your best). Try to speak tagalog more often, specially to locals so you will learn quick. Natawa ako dun sa Magkano beses at sa Iced Americano cause your korean. Kudos to all your team. Good job 👏👍🎉

I love this series. JL, I'm a subs since day one by the way. Haha, Covid is almost gone but i'm still here watching your vlogs.

Yep! Tapsilog and Caldereta at Rodic's are the best. We actually have a song a about it: "Rooodic's naamiiing mahal, tapsiiiiloooogaaaaang hiiiiraaaaang..." ✌😁

Do you know at the end of Retiro Street QC and Manila which is going to Blumentritt where the street is of Lechon restaurant side by side and you can see the lechons on bamboos display at the front of each restaurants line-up. This is Laloma lechonan is already established before the Cebu Lechon. They also lechon Baka. And you can see also part of the restaurant there is one area where you can see the pigs roasting on bamboo over the hot red charcoals. Maybe you can include in your episodes. Each restaurant has it own specialites.

My Bicolano side is intensifying. I think they call it "adobo sa gata" now, but as one commenter said, adobo wasn't originally with soy sauce. It's originally white. In Bicol, (where the put gata on everything, instead of soy sauce, we put gata. :) Also, that laing looks legit. I have introduced legit laing to someone who doesn't eat laing because of previous bad experience (itchy). I told her, before you order laing, ask first if a Bicolano did it because most non-bicolano cooks do not know how to handle gabi leaves. It should be well dryed so it won't itch.

Your series is getting more and more enjoyable! More food to taste! You should also try the Marikina area soon.

thank you jessica for this series! loved your unscripted reactions to everything, super entertaining to watch! also, you’re promoting small businesses as well ❤❤❤

I definitely love this series of Paborito..we need this too even though we are locals of Manila. thank you for this..

Adobo sa puti don't have soy sauce, they use only vinegar and whole garlic and sugar to cut off the acidity of the vinegar,. We also have adobong tagalog,in this dish we only use anato seed extract,it's very popular in many occasions like barrio fiesta,.btw i watched lots of food vlog but MENUDO are always missing to the menu,.

Authentic reactions for authentic food. Good work to begin the series. :)

this is such an excellent idea for a series! I'll definitely try to stop by at the places that you've recommended the next time when I'm in Manila again :3

Hi jessica. Super idol po kita. Natutuwa ako sa mga videos mo, most of ur videos may makukuha kaming lesson. Keep it up. Nandito lang kami to support u amd ur friends 😍😍

Food Places Recommendation here in Bicol: (Yung Pinaka-best for me) 1. Lola Feling's Restaurant Legazpi 2. Rose Special Kinalas at Sisig (Sto. Domingo, Albay) 3. DJC Halo-Halo and snack inn (Tiwi, Albay) 4. Romantic Baboy (Korean Restaurant in Albay) 5. Aroy Mack Asian Cafe + Resto (Albay) 6. Zoe's Kitchen (Legazpi City) 7. 528 Ilawod Cafe (SM Legazpi) 8. Island Tea Co & Ceylon Coffee Club Cafe Legazpi 9. Zoe and Zane's Goodies (which is food business ng Tita ko. They also selling pili polvoron, spicy pili polvoron and etc.)

Her love for the Philippines is very authentic , just like her blogs. I love your contents 💖 kudos Jessica.

You making me crave every food in this video. What a great episode I'm so proud of you Jessica!

THAT ADOBONG BIKOL WAS COLORED WHITE BCOZ IT WAS SAUTED WITH COCONUT MILK WHICH HERE IN BATANGAS WE CALLED IT ADOBO SA GATA IT IS MORE DELICIOUS WHEN YOU COOKED IT WITH SQUID OR ADOBONG PUSIT SA GATA.TNX NICE VLOG

that kind of adobo in Manila we call Adobo sa gata that's why it's white. actually, there are many types of cooking Adobo some are sweet and salty like the adobo you used to eat the one with bay leaves. some are with onions and peppery. but then, the One we really cook is the one that is more on garlic and no soy sauce. lots of garlic, vinegar, salt, and pepper only. Caldereta makes Creamy because of the cheese and also it is supposed to be spicy. the others don't like spicy that's why sometimes they don't put chilies in it.

I really admire you jessica b'coz of loving eating filipino foods ❤ thank you and keep safe 🙏

No I badly wanna go back to Maginhawa because of this! Awesome content as usual, Jessica.

Love this new series!!!! Not the typical one! Please consider Marikina (such as Marikina heights and Gil fernando avenue - engineering) there are a lot of good food/restaurants here💖

I will never miss any episode of this series just like the trabahoseries...❤

di nakakasawang panuodin si idol para kang may gayoma😂 because not boring and always your smile♥️ always watching ..

Great series!! A lot of local restaurants and cafes to see. 😛😋 Looking forward to see more. Will it be at rural areas too?

How i love jessica effort doing this kind of thing its inspirational fun and informative thankyou takecare

I'm a big fan from Glendale California. Love your Paborito series. Go off the beaten path to find a gem. This is the best way to get to know a community.

This is just the 1st episode of the series but I'm loving it already. Keep it up Jessica!

Since you have mentioned "Bicol" sooo many times here in this episode, you may want to visit Bicol naman, specifically here in Naga city.
