00:00Sometimes it's really hard to be an artist's mind and spirit.

00:16So we think a lot, we want to do a lot.

00:20In my small house, especially when I'm done painting,

00:24oil on canvas painting that I do, it increases.

00:29The question is, how did it become a fusion of our taste in coffee?

00:36Well, my girlfriend, Siang Verte, is also very fond of coffee,

00:41so we came up with an idea.

00:48We said, why don't we try to put up a gallery, coffee shop,

00:53to share our specialty, pizza.

00:57So, it's a bit eclectic if we look at it,

01:00there's a bit of an impulse of creativity.

01:04Most of the comments of our visitors say that it's like their home.

01:19This is it, this is it, our tasting time.

01:23Let's start with what they call the artist's drink.

01:27It's like, it's embarrassing to mix it.

01:32The color is mixed, it looks good.

01:37I tasted the espresso first.

01:41And it's true, they say it can last up to three days.

01:47Yes, that's true.

01:49We were also surprised by the reaction of the people who visit here.

01:55It became popular.

01:57This has milk that we blend in the espresso,

02:01and when the milk is blended, it creates an art rendition.

02:08Mixed Berry Sparkler, let's try it.

02:12Actually, I'm not a fan of salty drinks,

02:17but this one, it's funny because it has a spirit.

02:24It's like the berries in my mouth are playing.

02:27It's perfect for me.

02:32Matcha Espresso, Food Explorers, let's not mix it.

02:37Let's try the matcha first.

02:40Matcha, matcha.

02:42If I finish these two, I think I can do taping for a whole week.

02:46Food Explorers, Jemmy Prime, Black Rider, 8 p.m.

02:51Asa GTV, 9.25 p.m.

02:55While the dishes that Dayong will be tasting are being cooked,

02:59Black Rider's star joined the instant art lesson.

03:03I'm a bit nervous because I'll be teaching art

03:07to an amazing artist.

03:10I'm the one who's nervous, Coach.

03:12Take a good look at the arugula.

03:15Prosciutto, arugula.

03:17Yes.

03:18You'll choose the greens here.

03:20Of course.

03:21Look at the seasoning.

03:22Look at the tube.

03:23Yeah, there.

03:25This is what we call linseed oil.

03:27It's like a pan de sal sauce.

03:29Which one do you want to try first?

03:31Okay.

03:32A little bit of linseed oil.

03:34Just a little bit.

03:36Okay.

03:37Oh, very good.

03:39Very good.

03:40Very good.

03:43This is potential.

03:44There.

03:45Okay.

03:46See?

03:47You can feel it, right?

03:48There.

03:49Just put it here, okay?

03:50Far away.

03:51There.

03:53See?

03:54You're good.

03:55I feel like the painting will be ruined if I touch it.

03:59The arugula will improve.

04:01Right?

04:02It's really art.

04:04It feels like you destroy, then you create.

04:08You're right.

04:09It's like it's messy.

04:10Then it slowly comes out to be a work of art.

04:14You're good at painting, Rainier.

04:16You got it.

04:17More?

04:18There.

04:20You can do it.

04:21Rainier seems to have convinced Sir Dayong that he has a talent in painting.

04:25That's why his reward is a huge serving of bestsellers from Dayong Art Gallery Cafe.

04:34What should we eat first?

04:35Okay, let's eat this first.

04:37Spinach and mushroom pizza.

04:42Their pizza is delicious because they make their own dough.

04:49All the ingredients here are fresh.

04:52It's different.

04:56Prosciutto arugula.

04:57Of course, their arugula is really fresh.

05:07That's what makes it different.

05:09What I'm tasting is balsamic honey.

05:11The best thing is that their vegetables are fresh.

05:15Fresh arugula.

05:19It's delicious.

05:20It's delicious.

05:21Our bestseller for the last few weeks and months is our prosciutto arugula.

05:27It's also very healthy.

05:29We use sourdough for the crust.

05:32People keep commenting that we're still running out of arugula.

05:42Is it okay if we open it?

05:45Alright.

05:47There.

05:48Right?

05:50Onions, tomatoes.

05:53Their cheese has a different term.

05:56Let's find out.

06:08I'm tasting something else.

06:12Wait.

06:16Secret sauce.

06:17Special sauce.

06:18That's what makes the flavor explode in your mouth.

06:22Their burger is 100% beef.

06:25There are no extenders.

06:33This is their pork steak.

06:37It's so tender.

06:41This is what I call a typical home-cooked dish.

06:46It's like you're cooking for your mom on Sunday after she goes to worship.

06:52It's delicious.

06:54When you're at home, this is a comfort food.

06:59Rainier has a food trip part 2.

07:01Stay tuned.

07:02For now, let's visit Magenhawa Street, Quezon City,

07:06where Rainier will show us where Filipino foodies who crave for Thai food go.

07:13Food explorers, I'm okay.

07:15Let's go.

07:22I am half Thai.

07:23My mom's dream is to have a Thai restaurant.

07:28We started with a small Thai eatery in Paranaque.

07:32After that, the community loved it.

07:34And today, that's what our customers like.

07:37Which is catered to the Filipino palate.

07:40Making sure that the ingredients are consistent and authentic.

07:46What I enjoy most about Thai cuisine is the intricate flavor profile of Thai food.

07:53Harmoniously mixed together, which creates a very bold and unforgettable experience.

08:06This is the shrimp pad thai.

08:08Shrimp pad thai.

08:09So, of course, let's start with this.

08:12Let's put some lime.

08:17Actually, food explorers,

08:20this is my second time trying Thai cuisine.

08:26Mmm.

08:27The sourness, saltiness, and kick of the spices are mixed together.

08:38Of course, if it's too spicy, their best partner is their milk tea.

08:44They are the best sellers here.

08:47This one is Thai green milk tea with floral essence.

08:51Let's taste it.

08:56I feel like I'm in a different world.

08:58When you drink it, it feels like you're in another world.

09:03I would say this is the best Thai milk tea I've ever had.

09:07I feel like I'm in another world.

09:09I feel like I'm in another world.

09:11I feel like I'm in another world.

09:12I feel like my world is changing here.

09:15You know, when you drink it, it's like you're in Thailand.

09:21Let's try their other variations.

09:26It's okay, but for me, this is my favorite.

09:32Let's try their vegetable spring roll.

09:37Let's try their seafood sauce first.

09:42Let's try it.

09:50It's like it's sliced.

09:52Carrot, that's right.

09:54If I'm not mistaken, this is what they call the tiger's ear.

10:01One of their bestsellers is the Thai pork and salted egg sauce.

10:06Let's try it.

10:08The sauce is a bit thick.

10:21Actually, it's different.

10:23Even if it's soaked in the sauce for a long time, it's still crunchy.

10:28The salted egg flavor is not too strong.

10:32The combination of their flavors is just right.

10:34Anyone will like this.

10:37Let's move on.

10:39Let's try the Thai red chicken curry.

10:45Let's check it out.

10:49It's sweet. That's what makes it different from our curry.

10:53I think that's why it's a bit sweet.

10:57So that it can capture the hearts of Filipinos.

11:00But it's okay, it's delicious.

11:02Let's try the pineapple.

11:08Thank you to Padthai Express.

11:10You're the first one to feed me this.

11:12Let's add a bit more to make it more solid.

11:21It's like a kid buying candy.

11:24It's delicious when you mix it.

11:26That's why there are so many delicious things here.

11:30Because it's really delicious.

11:32Try it.

11:37It's different.

11:46Food Explorers, I'm okay now.

11:49You should visit this place.

11:51Please.

12:02Thank you for watching.
