we're going now to Dollar Hits.

Masters: Dollar Hits-Temple.

Versoza: Hello.

Kumusta po.

Ha ha ha!

Masters: Hello.

It smells delicious in here.

Versoza: Yes.

You can't get to know Historic Filipinotown if you don't try the food.

Masters: I've never had Filipino street food before.

Versoza: Never.

Masters: No, no.

Versoza: All right.

Masters: I'm excited.

Versoza: All right.

Yes.

It's delicious.

Ha ha ha!

So this is also called turo turo, which means, like, point point, where you come in and point to what you want to.

We're gonna order some savory and sweet.

Masters: All right.

I'm game.

Yeah.

Where do we start?

Versoza: I think let's start out with the barbecue.

So let's start savory, right?

Let's try it out.

Masters: Let's do it.

OK. Mmm.

That's really good.

Mmm.

Versoza: So this is the camote cue.

Masters: Mmm.

Crispy on the outside and like a potato in the middle.

Yeah.

Versoza: Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Next we have one of the classics of Filipino food, which is called balut.

So they're fermented duck eggs.

We're gonna crack them open, and they have, like, a just forming embryo in them.

Masters: OK. Versoza: Yes.

Masters: OK. Versoza: OK. You're going to peel it.

If you like salt, you can add a little bit of salt to it.

Masters: I do like salt.

Versoza: This is, like, good sustenance in the Philippines.

Masters: Mm-hmm.

Probably really good protein.

Versoza: Mm-hmm.

Masters: Mmm.

[Versoza speaks Filipino] Versoza: Next we have a regular Filipino drink kind of like aguas frescas but our own type.

So it's cantaloupe, a cantaloupe drink.

Masters: Cheers.

Versoza: Cheers.

Masters: That's delicious.

Versoza: You really taste the fresh cantaloupe.

Masters: Yeah.

This is delicious.
