Filipino street foods are tasty, yummy and overly delicious. But what’s stopping the other people from eating or tasting such foods? For sure the looks and the thing/ingredient that it was made of plays a role. But other than that, I can’t think of anymore.
The Americans (BuzzFeed staff?) tried and did their best to taste and eat some of our very own street foods (fishball, isaw, turon and kwek kwek to name a few) and this is what happened.
Americans Try Filipino Street Food
So, what do you think?

well I love to eat pinoy street foods..donno about americans 🙂
I remember watching an episode of Fear Factor and one of the challenges was eating Balut! I would've won hands down if I were a contestant haha. I love our street food!
Haha, this reminds me of how a local celebrity went to the streets of New York or America to get people to try Singapore's local curry fish head and everyone was horrified!
i think i've watched one episode of them eating singapore snacks, and many of those snacks they ate aren't even from singapore! hahaha! i've long heard that Philippines cuisine is an acquired taste. haven't tried any street food but i've tried "proper meals" and i find them all a tad too sweet. but for these, i guess i may like them with the exception of the intestines.
Pinoy street foods are great. Yes I do love Balut and I can consume 2 eggs per setting. But those adidas and IIUD, I can't take it.
I am in love with Filipino street food! I am also open to try other street foods around the world –excited even! -Shayne, misstache
I love our street food! Isaw baboy, betamax, fishball, kwek kwek… Now I'm craving!!! -Shayne
Ah I've seen this. It's all a matter of culture and preferences anyway. They find our food more on the exotic side.
hahahah exciting to cross diverse different countrie's food! s long as theres no worms im cool with trying =x
I like balut and kwek-kwek. But I am not a fan of isaw or betamax. It was very interesting to hear what foreigners thought about them.
Ahahaha these has been my food since college up to now. lol and nothing happened to me yet! I love street foods! Grew up in streets! 🙂
I love our local street food! I saw a lot of videos like that in Youtube and there are some haters and some good feedback, to each his own. I love balut and kwek kwek, and kikiam though 🙂
Oh well they're all curious about our street foods and I respect that. The advice here, if you want to eat street foods that is safe to eat here in the Philippines, visit Davao City. Hahahaha…our vendors have all the necessary permits to assure you that foods are clean and safe to eat. 🙂
Every country's street food have their uniqueness!~
I guess if they can get past the looks department, they'll love Pinoy Street foods. They do need to be adventurous especially with Balut.
I haven't tried any of your street food but, I bet it tastes good. I like to try new foods; especially if they're non meat dishes.
I've never tried Filipino food before. But I've heard of balut and I can't ever imagine eating it!
It's really fun to see other people's (especially foreigners) reactions to our Filipino cuisine. I think most of our local street food are safe choices though, except for a few like the isaw, betamax and balut. 😀 Anyway, the video reminded me of my Korean classmates and schoolmates who love turon so much! 😀
