Benedict Cua and David Archuleta


David Archuleta joins Benedict Cua for a delicious food adventure!

Kapuso content creator Benedict Cua is back with another exciting food adventure in his #craBENs series on social media.

In his latest upload, he hangs out with international singer David Archuleta as they sample delicious Filipino desserts. Their trip takes an interesting twist as they explore unique variations of classic treats from around the country, including Zamboanga's version of the cold dessert Halo-Halo, Inutak (a glutinous rice cake), and moist cake.

Viewers loved the video, enjoying the candid interactions between the duo as they indulged in their food adventure. Many found it hilarious when Benedict attempted to teach David how to do mukbang videos, and both admitted to feeling a bit tipsy after sampling the popular local drink, lambanog.

"I'm a little tipsy now," Benedict admitted, earning laughter from their team.

"I'm a little tipsy too," David confessed as well.

As a fan, Benedict couldn't hide his excitement about meeting his idol. He happily shared, "I used to listen to your music a lot. I even had your book," earning amazement from the American singer.

The two enjoyed each other's company so much that they even performed a short duet of David's song "The Other Side of Down."

The Sparkle star happily replied, " Come visit again next time!" with a party emoji.

Fans flooded the comments section, expressing their delight at seeing the duo enjoy their time together. As of this writing, the video has amassed 1.4 million views and 170,000 likes on TikTok.

David Archuleta returned to the Philippines for his much-anticipated concert, "Playback Presents: The Best of David Archuleta Live in Manila" last September 14 at the New Frontier Theater. During his stay, he also appeared on several local shows, including GMA's morning program Unang Hirit.
