<p>In his first video, Benny Blanco began with a disclaimer, highlighting his familiarity with Filipino cuisine due to his stepmother's background. However, his taste test quickly turned into a review that drew flak, describing the <em>adobo rice</em> as "<em>dry a**</em>&rdquo; and the <em>Chickenjoy</em> as "<em>soggy as f***</em>." Even the spaghetti, pineapple juice, and fries did not seem to &ldquo;satisfy&rdquo; him, leading to an overall negative impression of the fast-food chain.</p>
<p>The Filipino community rallied against Benny Blanco's critique, defending the fast-food brand.</p>
<p>Responding to the backlash, Benny uploaded a second video on March 1, exploring the highest-rated Filipino restaurants in Los Angeles. He tried dishes such as <em>lumpiang shanghai, longganisa, and chicken adob</em>o, to name a few.</p>

<p>In an unexpected turn, Blanco decided to give the fast-food chain another chance, trying their spicy chicken sandwich. Contrary to his initial impressions, he was pleasantly surprised and praised the sandwich's quality. "<em>Not only is this sandwich so good, I completely reverse my opinion of how it sucks. You can go there just for this</em>,&rdquo; Blanco said.</p>
<p>The video concluded with Benny Blanco's food combination of the chicken sandwich, lumpiang shanghai, and a dash of vinegar sauce.</p>
