We started our crazy Filipino street food tour in Zamboanga City, Philippines, trying satti, a popular breakfast dish. Satti is super spicy and flavourful, a great way to start the day. Next door we found the popular street food, lokot lokot.

We continued our crazy Filipino street food tour trying papaitan. Papaitan kambing is a bitter goat stew. Here in Zamboanga their papaitan is less bitter and super tasty, full of flavour and even creamy peanut butter! To cool off on our Filipino street food tour tasting some of the best street food in the Philippines, we got a mango graham, delicious and cool.

We finished our Filipino food tour tasting the rare curacha deep sea crab. Curacha is a rare deep sea crab found in the waters surrounding Zamboanga. When you’re here you must try curacha at Alavar’s, they do this rare deep sea crab up right! The taste and flavour of their sauce on the rare curacha deep sea crab is truly something else.

We hope you enjoy our crazy Filipino street food tour in Zamboanga City, Philippines tasting the rare curacha deep sea crab and papaitan. Stay tuned next week for more street food in the Philippines!

  1. We are goat raising.we have almost 100 heads of imported goat.we only started 30heads only and now they are increasing.
    We sell goat meat

  2. Alavar sacue is the best. I always buy their crabs and prawns whenever I go to Salcedo Saturday Market where they have a booth there.

  3. How lucky you two. I'm Filipino but I haven't been to Zamboanga, that Alavar resto is well known since long time ago for their curacha crabs and other seafoods. Enjoy!

  4. Oh, that crab and crab fat…. 🫠

    There's a Filipino phrase "putok batok". It's refers to feeling a sort of sickness / dizziness afer indulging in high cholesterol food like lechon or that crab fat.

    I hope you two just felt happy, and not "putok batok", after all that food. πŸ˜‚

    Alavar Restaurant is legendary. Buen provecho!.

  5. What an awesome video! The food all looked exceptionally delicious πŸ˜‹! What an experience at the restaurant with the Curacha crab and Miguel's chicken and sauce! Such wonderful hospitality πŸ‘πŸ˜Š!
    Not so sure about the bitter goat stew,thoughπŸ™„!
