Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country.

Ok👍👍👍
You should probably do some research on better help. I don’t think you’d feel comfortable having them as a sponsor after you hear about some of their business practices.
I totally agree with you
Ain’t no way they’re still taking BetterHelp’s money, ya’ll ain’t bullying them hard enough 💀
@@quazzymodo6294no, thats his easy access lol
Just pure Cinema. What a way to end our Philippine series!! This might be on the most comprehensive and fun documentary about Apo Whang-Od. Thanks Sonny for this wonderful Jeepney Journey that all of us Filipino will remember! Apeace‼️
had fun watching you with sonny-great job chui!!!
Yummy
You’re awesome Chui!
Best couples 2024 😊
Ayos sir @TheChuiShow...salamat sa pagpunta...too bad this is the last episode for this visit with Sonny but hoping you will be back for more,as Cordillera has much more to offer..saw ur video eating Wanas as well and u did great. Come back and check out Canao, Adivay, Panagbenga, Lang-ay, Strawberry Festivals and more
Maybe I haven't seen all the documentaries or vlogs about Apo Wang Od, but of all the videos I've seen, this is the first time she was interviewed face to face, and she seems very engaging and happy. ❤
She has been interviewed before, shes very chatty, when we met her she was quite cheeky haha!
I've seen a few about this Queen of tattoos,mY she continu to live in health🙏🏽🙏🏽. 🙏🏽🤗🌹❣
@@richardj.chaparrosr.9810 yeah, we have one coming up on our channel in a few days
Lost LeBlanc did a really good Vlog
@@ihn2023 we have one coming in the next couple of days, it’s a banger
“We lived a simple life before, we can always go back to that…We can live with whatever we have up here.” That was such an impactful statement. Which makes a lot of sense.
I just read your comment as she was saying it. Damn, I think " God " is trying to say...Hello George I'm real. (These weird things keep happening to me , all through out my life).
I teared up a bit here. I felt the resilience and humilty from these people and Filipinos living a humble life in general.
Had a great feel when you said "It's not just a tattoo it's a story, the ultimate souvenir, and a badge of honor" ... Way to go sonny...
Such great statement
One thing I love about this guy is he’s always so respectful. You just know he goes to places to learn about their culture.
106 year old traditional tattoo artist... and she's beautiful! INCREDIBLE!
I think she's about 70
She's 107yo
@@CursedChildX prove it
She was featured in VOGUE Philippines
@@mattheweagle223 shes 107. That's common knowledge. Google her.
Sonny, I know the smell of which you speak because one time the meat freezer at my kitchen job broke that being said your willingness to try everything is impressive, respectful, and very important! I wish I could go everywhere you have so I'm living vicariously through you.
I too know the smell. When I was in the army, a soldier went AWOL. We had to clean out his house bc he and his family destroyed it. There were coolers everywhere filled with melted ice and rotten meat all over his house. In the living room, hallways, dining room. The smell was sickening. Still wonder why he and his family did that
The smell is the signature hehehe. No smell , no challenge.
Try the 1 year old inahinan with almost a greeny color and you can remember how etag is.
@@lakaycowboy That's simply... disgusting and might pose health risks as well And I'm from Philippines, I'm not from outside the country, and still that is not safe for consumption.
@@lakaycowboy too bad they did not serve him bungsus as well...hehe
Her smile her energy her talent, what a beautiful soul. Sonny is so lucky to have met her ❤
I love how much respect you showed to Apo, Sonny that was really nice. Also how u didnt ask for a tattoo but when she offfered to give her signature you said yes and i bet that made her feel nice
Sonny is a legend in his own right!!! Not just a food blogger but a historian. I learn the world watching him, continue the fabulous work with the Best Ever Review Show team and friends 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Sonny brought Nanay to happy tears 💪🏽
This is overwhelming..😊and the first time i saw apo wang od smile like that .. i was smiling and laughing and had a teary eye.. happy tears.. thank you for your love for the Philippines sonny! We love you..
I was blessed to meet this wonderful woman and got a tattoo from her. That journey to her is no joke. There is a crazy steep hill that children to elderly walk up and down daily like it’s nothing. It’s amazing
Why am I shedding tears while she speaks and tattoos. God bless her and you as well sonny.
Because you are soft bro
because you're empathetic and humane
That lady is amazing she definitely helped that village with a way to make money by those beautiful traditional tattoos
This is why I love your content, Sonny. You're more than a food vlogger, you're actually recording history through ethnic cuisines and people's way of life. ❤ we learn so much from you, Sonny the modern historian. Thank you and to your dedicated team. ☺
Seeing Apo Whang-Od smile is just comforting. I remember my beloved Grandma. She was as gracious as her.
That lady has the best energy and for bieng 106 wow i could only imagine bieng as happy as she is and to live that long the stories she has the life she has lived bless her with many more years💜
she's actually 107 now
@@ZabsAntsTravels did you read what i posted ? It doesnt matter the specific age its the message i was trying to say do you feel good about yourself you just had to correct that lmao
she is immortal
There are actually a variety of Cordilleran etags with different processes in making. Here's some of what I know as an Igorot: Etag (clean) - salted and sun dried with cover to prevent flies and wrapped with paper after sun bathing for atleast 3 days. Etag (raw) - salted and sun dried until maggots devour the decayed parts. Sabeng - stored in sealed claypot soaked in lard and salt Kiniing - smoke dried (salted or not) I don't know of the other processes but these are actually my favorites.
I'm sorry, I'll stick with pizza.
kiniing the best he he...its basically jerky
@@scottdavidson526 There is a Pizza Joint in Baguio that servves Kiniing(Smoke dried Meat) Pizza
@@scottdavidson526Do you like bacon ?😊
We yave "inahinan" in Ifugao. If you said inahinan , maporhat man eno ulat mun ag aghib.
I can't believe this is a food channel! The amount of culture+history+personality this channel focuses on is BEAUTIFUL ❤ Love the way you inculcate food from a cultural aspect which makes you different and LEGEND when it comes to Food Channel. Kudos to the BEFRS crew🙌🏼
Two celebrities leaving mark to each other. You're so humble sunny, it is actually you who left a mark to buscalan, and will be known and recognized forever.
Im not gonna take it away from her to act like a Queen cus she survived that long and made such an impact not just on her village but beyond that as well. She is a real Queen.
She's in Vogue Philippines issue, just can't remember what month. Go search her online.
Apo Wang Od is the coolest Centenarian ever. Every tattoo artist on earth would look up to her being one of, if not the most elderly person to have ever tattooed on earth. in four years she will have been tattooing for a hundred years. What a legend.
She's hard core all the way. Love to be able go to her so she can tattooe me...
Centenarian stfu shes not a mythical creature
Not just tattooists. I have none. There is not much i want… but 3 dots is one of them. (Iykyk, eh!)
😂😂😂
@@avivhagianf face
Thank you sharing this Sonny! Lots of interesting foods I haven’t seen or had in a long time.
Brave you(for eating Etag)!, Funny you(for injecting humor)!, and So Lucky You(for having met and had dinner face-to-face with our iconic Apo Whang Od)!!!
So happy that you got to meet Apo Whang Od. She's such an icon, I had goosebumps when I heard her voice in your video! Another awesomely wrapped up series, keep it up!
Ma’am Whang-od isn’t 106 years old though. It’s ridiculous that people are ashamed to point it out publicly
@@Gargeler yeah cause she's 107 now.
she's not an icon
@@GargelerThe hype created for this old lady is sad. Calling her an icon by people who dont even know iconic means. its a great video. But the comments are cringy.
@@PaoloFamily-pr1moprecisely.
Apo wang od is a Philippine treasure her artistry as mambabatok is one of Philippine unique and original tradition.and we have so much tradition and culture same as apo wang od
Love this show so much, very informative in a non judgemental way and also hilarious. Well done to the host for having such great and versatile people interaction skills.
Thank you for accepting one of Filipino tradition.. so many traditions in Philippines thanks for showing up this one.. 😍
. Rich culture, rich history, amazing people. Love you from Tanzania
Your production value from quality exposures, beautiful aerial shots, timely narration over good B rolls, creative camera work, high end sound editing and above all, intriguing content and worthy host… your videos are really Netflix-worthy imho.
This has to be one of my favorite videos yet! This was beautiful ❤️
This channel is just amazing. I've been watching your vlogs for years and I have seen it grow exponentially in so many aspects. The content, the story telling, and of course the food review. To you and your team, keep it up!
I am showing some of us here in Buscalan your video right now. I just had my palanus in Buscalan with my now fiance/wife. She is one of the tattoo artists in the village. I am wondering if we missed you while having our first palanus near Anunang. I met my now fiance last year when getting my tattoos from the village. It's surreal that they are all my family now. The people of Buscalan are absolutely amazing, I am so happy to be of them now. Whayu lawhi
Finally sonny tried the authentic etag im proud of this food tradition I just remembered the smell when my grandfather was boiling etag with a lot of white worms floating😂
Thank you Sonny for showing the culture and beauty of my country! Wishing you nothing but the best of things ahead.
This is so great. I went there in 2019 to get the signature and it is the same position as yours. Thanks Sonny. You are the best ever!
Sonny you are showing the side of world that no one else shows.
Former tour guide at Kalinga. I just want to say that I am so happy to see you visit my happy place . after all this years, following your journey. #proudbestie here
Thank you Sonny! Been a fan since your first travel to PH, keep doing what you're doing and more power!
I love it when you highlight similarities among the many cultures that you have already encountered! It gives us a much wider perspective.
Wooww what an honor being able to feature our province in your show, with so many people featuring Apo Whang od on there shows and you tube channel THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE. I have much love for this show, it's always good to watch the different cultures and traditions that you highlight in every place you visit-very informative and meticulously thought of , thank you so much for visiting our Province @BestEverFoodReviewShow
Wow! Great closing for a great series!
What a way to see our Apong Whang Od being interviewed by you. And I'm happy to see she's happy for the other people visiting their place and sharing their cultures and traditions.. and Sonny, you are successful interviewing her and join you for a sumptuous meal.. God bless you!
I appreciate sonny for keep coming back to the Philippines to feature our food and culture... He might have been visited all over Philippine provinces featured on his channel.... A testament that he love our food and our tradition... Thank you sonny... We Filipinos love you.. ❤
Sunny getting tattooed epitomizes how genuine he is ❤
If you say so. 🙄
Not really
Epitomizes what a reckless fool he is!
Cringe ass replies
@@Scripner she is too old to be tattooing lol. she was tapping it too hard compare to the clips showing the younger female doing that tourist up. thats why his ish looked all f up and bleeding and he didn't show the end result 😅
The tattoo is magical, keep smiling forever 😊
My wife & I were lucky enough to meet & be tattooed by APO Whang-Od last week. Will always treasure the adventure.
love to watch this one , i always kept watching your food travels .. keep it up ♥
This show is amazing especially seeing where you’re coming from your first video 🎉
Beautiful coverage. Thank you, Sonny ❤️
You have you own Tap-Tap for the show! Love it!
always an epic episode!!! keep it going! 🤍
This is one of my fav food shows to watch. So love the 1hr plus episodes that shows all the travel. hope to see more. thank you for all you do.
This is byfar my most favorite philipppines adventure. Thankyou!
Sonny, I'm so happy you got the tattoo!! It's a part of history and an honor, honestly. I truly hope others will carry on the practice for many years.
One of the few channel that goes behind the scenes. Always great stuff!
This was a gift. Their culture and their ways of living are pretty incredible. Apo Whang Od is a special human. What she offers to her people is truly amazing. Thank you for sharing this one.
I think this might be the most Memorable Philippine documentary that you’ve done, just wonderful, and you also have the jeep.
Come back again soon and explore more places in southern regions of Philippines. Thank you for visiting and having a great time from our country. More power #BEFRS
Love how you capture peoples' culture and the connection with the food
The lady was born in around 1918? Then she was around 27 years old by the time WW2 ended? Now that's fascinating.
She's such a sweet and lovely lady. Her spirit is still high and bright, love to see it!
That was an absolutely amazing video, thank you! Seems like you'll be the last big KZheadr to ever get a tattoo from her, but that's okay, you gave her so much respect and understanding. Truly awesome to watch.
Love this episode ❤
This is one of your best videos.❤
One of, if not the best YT vid I have seen about Apo Whang-od.
I really like this episode! Good job sonny
19:16 What a jaw-droppingly wonderful woman. I hope I grow to have both the same level of sincerity toward strangers and the patience to match her.
That she's 106. Smiling with full of positivity and giggles
Thanks Sonny for this wonderful video. Respect to you and your staff for honoring our (Filipino) culture and tradition.
Wow I love this one. It's always amazing to see these over 100yrs people
great great documentary... thank you so much
Dude I grew up in the same area Sonny did. Being from Minnesota we how you say don't have the same kind of tastes like this.. ugh I give you props man. I'd rather eat grasshopper
Wow, great episode. I get the best Anthony Bourdain vibes watching you. One of the best on the Tube currently!
I really love how empathetic you are to apo whang od. While watching I really was thinking of how she feels doing this every day.
Nice you featured that…. I have been tasted that when i was in highschool and until now it was giving me a chill
Very beautiful place and peoples. LOVE FROM INDIA ❤❤❤❤
Not going to lie Sonny, these last few videos have been difficult to watch. Especially while eating my breakfast muffin, before work. Lol. 13:30 Thank you for your service 🫡🤣 16:28 She is absolutely adorable! 🥹 Thank you, Sonny. I really enjoy the shows where you go around the world and show us how other cultures live. More shenanigans with Oro, please!
Don't lie in this first place 😅
@@user-mv5bu2kk8blmao, I'm guessing you're clairvoyant? If not, STFU and let the man be.
Your viewers will surely come and visit her, thanks to your docu. She is amiable and a Filipino icon. She is jolly once you strike a good conversation with her and when she is in her "zone". Thanks Sonny and I hope people will come and visit her while she is still with us. Greetings from the Philippines.
one of the best evers!! of the best evers
I am a Filipino. Salamat, Sunny, for showcasing our dear Apo Wang-Od, and sharing our food tradition to the world!
😨🤢🤮🤒😷🤕
hey guys just want to say this episode was amazing and really enjoyed it. lots of love, keep doing what youre doing. ps. sunny you didnt eat the rotten pork another way!
The last part lady told about pandemic made me emotional... Well done hope to see some more videos like this from you ....God bless...
Watching your vlogs is like completing My Day. It's a food review but at the same time, if you're sad, it's like watching comedy because your vlogs makes me happy. Continue exploring different place and culture. Thank you for an amazing experience even though its thru your vlogs. It's very helpful. Godbless always. 😇
One of the best episode…. Good stuff bro
this is amazing. one of your best.
Wow !!! you're soo lucky indeed to have a chance to meeting Apo Wang Od she's in my bucket list hopefully one day soon ... 🙏🙏 what a beautiful experience you have it there with the kalinga tribe ... keep the good and better memories and Godbless 🙏🙏
Mad respect man for what you do
One of my favorite videos you’ve ever done. To have her signature tattoo … you’ll always have a piece of her with you. That is so badass!!!
I appreciate Sonny for always being very gracious and respectful yet still be so comical. The young lady you interviewed is an optimist and it's refreshing to see individuals believing in themselves. ❤Thank you.
Love this channel and the people… amazing
Happy to see u sonny in phillipines..
that smile by Apo Whang Od!!!!! that damn smile!!!!! kudos sonny!!!!
Ahhh i love your show! Thanks for visiting the Philippines! 🇵🇭❤️
You always surprise me with your shows. This is the best I've ever seen. Thank you so much and keep up the great and excellent work!
Sonny, i pray you always have good health to share more of your experience thru your vlogs
Can't wait to see Sonny's second wife😂😂😂
Long live Apo Whang-od ❤❤
I absolutely love watching this channel and seeing what Sonny gets into next, but this episode just felt like such a cool adventure. It didn't have like a tourist feel to it if that makes sense. It was like truly stepping away from what most of us would consider our modern day and immersing into a place that has its own pace, rules, and a vibe that just works.
I remember in middle school, we had a new girl named Ricci (Richie) who came from the Philippines. She was gorgeous, intelligent, and SO cheerful. I remember when she brought this ziplock bag of what looked like shredded string cheese for lunch. I asked for some, and she told me it was squid. Like, squid jerky. It was so weird. And memorable. And I have craved it a few times in my life since then. All I had to give her was a lousy peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
That might be a lousy peanut butter and jelly but in our culture, that was already a thoughtful gesture. 😊
