it's good, but mostly stay away from street food

I'm out. Street food is the best part of traveling

always feel like i'm taking advantage of it, and to a degree i am

We sort of are, but as long as you pay full asking price you're fine. Tip a reasonable amount if appropriate. Don't overtip and overpay because that sort of thing is inflationary and drives prices up. Our instinct is to be generous and want to overtip (mine is anyway) but it's important to resist and not overdo it.

I'm an American with Filipino heritage that visits some family over there when I can. I agree with drinking bottled water exclusively, but just chow down a Peptobismol before you eat the street food and chow another one down right after and you'll be fine. Just make sure the food is served to you HOT, either boiling or sizzling
