    One thing that I've always noticed about Filipino food is how there's really no hard and fast rule about how to make any dish. Just like with adobo's "here, vinegar is the fundamental base... now be free", kwek-kwek's batter recipe is "make your own, just make sure it's orange in the end".
    I absolutely love the freedom and flexibility.

      That's so true. Filipinos like to innovate and experiment (or make do) with their dishes, they just have to meet that one fundamental quality to be called such a dish and you won't get any complaints. Hell, I've been served adobo where the protein is eggs. Just chicken eggs. But it hit the spot so it's all good.

    • @nathanblue
      @nathanblue 2 роки тому +28

      It is however the downfall of Filipino cuisine internationally. Everyone likes to "freestyle" with the way they prepare the food so it becomes very inconsistent. Adobo, for example, should only be prepared with garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and a little bit of sugar and water; if a foreigner enjoys it prepared the "correct" way and tries it again at a different restaurant but in a different way, it loses its authenticity and brings many different opinions from people. As a Filipino, I just had lunch at a famous Filipino restaurant in CA and was very disappointed with the way kare-kare was prepared and how it tasted. It is the one reason why the government wants to standardized the way food is prepared so that people can expect the same taste and quality especially outside of the Philippines.

    • @onthemark19
      @onthemark19 2 роки тому +42

      @@nathanblue I disagree; cuisine, much like culture, is constantly growing and evolving. It also adapts to the changing tastes and palates of the generation or its environment. While it is unfortunate that you didn't like how the dish was prepared, it is still legit kare--kare if it has a peanut base and served with bagoong on the side; though not the way you traditionally liked it. Really, every mother has their own version of kare-kare, adobo, tinola, etc. but that doesn't mean it's any lesser than what one is used to or how one wants it to taste like. Have you tried the deconstructed sinigang, it's prepared with char-grilled pork belly and served sizzling on a hot plate. Can't remember the original chef, but it is very good and a new take on the traditional sinigang.

      @@onthemark19 we’re talking about the appeal of Filipino food globally. Have you travelled around the world? I’m sure you know that when it comes to Asian cuisine, Filipino food is still pretty unknown in comparison to other Asian dishes. Chinese and Japanese food are extremely famous because there’s uniformity in their dishes. The same is true with Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian dishes. Do you ever wonder why Italians hate Americanized version of their cuisine? It’s because they have very strict way of preparing their dishes. How can you promote Filipino food globally when you can’t expect uniformity with the way they’re being prepared? If you want to be creative with the way you prepare Filipino food, market it as fusion food and don’t mislead foreigners to expect standardized version of Filipino cuisine if you’re not going to present them the way they are supposed to be correctly prepared. With your attitude, Filipino food will never get the recognition it deserves.

      Also Filipinos normally don't open their mouth much to enunciate the "short A" correctly. When people here play bball in the streets, during shootarounds, a player who nabs the ball from everybody gets two chances to shoot. The first time he shoots, he'd say "Beck! Beck!" Actually, what they're really trying to say is "Back! Back!" Meaning, give the ball back to me. Lol! Another classic is most Filipinos pronounce "Thank You" as "Tenk you".

They also have sambusa (their version of samosa) where they use meat filling instead of potato. I've tried samosa many times but the Filipino in me is still wanting that empanada vibe and I think that sambusa will hit closer to home :D

    Omg, i need to make these! Quail eggs are pretty much a staple here in Brazil, you can find it in most supermarkets, and I absolutely LOVE it! Next time you get the chance, just boil them and dip it in rosé cream its HEAVENLY 😍 also, a trick to peel it without accidents or too much hassle is to pop the hollow bottom first. It will have enough room to get you started with the peeling. Another method I've done is roling it on a surface to crash the eggshell and then put a bunch in a closed container with a tiny bit of water and shake it good for a lil while. Like the garlic clive trick, but works better hehehe ALSO, I'd like to make a suggestion for another street food video (Brazilian, of course): have you ever tried/made a video about acarajé? The dumpling (?) itself has parallels with falafel (the same principle, OPPOSITE results 😂😂😂), but it's usually served stuffed with some amazing toppings, such as vatapá, caruru, (usually green) tomato salad mad with lots of cilantro, pepper sauce and shrimps (usually the dried ones). But it's perfectly possible to make a vegan version (the most original one is, actually). Acarajés are deep fried in dendê oil, which gives its unique flavor, but you could also use the same batter, fold in banana leaves and steam them, and then it's called abará. It's story is full of our African heritage, mixed with our own culture (which has a LOT of African inffluence). It can also serve some religious purposes. It's more popular in Bahia state (where I lived at during my teen years), and probs originated there (although it might have been in Africa). But since many people from Bahia (and all BR northeastern region) migrated to São Paulo over mid-XX century, it has been intertwined to our culture here in São Paulo (where I was born and have been living for tge past 15 years) ever since. It's pretty easy to find, mostly as a street food, but also in restaurants and bars. It would be my pleasure to help you record a vídeo about acarajé! Just hit me up! ❤️

      Right! Siargao is a haven not just for surfers but for people who really wanted to escape the city life and loves to try a laid back life, enjoying the island's scenery. You'll not feel like an outcast coz aside for the many people of different colors stays for a visit(some are residents already), the islanders are very welcoming. Also, most of them if not all, knows basic English so it's not hard to build a good start up with them.
      The friendly nature of the locals, not just in Siargao but Filipinos in general is one of the good traits why foreign visitors really loves to visit or make Philippines as the place for their retirement.

    That's probably my favorite show ever! It's just such a random dish, yet it seems to be something that most everyone would like. My daughter & I had quail eggs for the first time in Thailand 2 years ago and really liked them. (They're served in the street markets with just pepper on them, very simple.) I would definitely try Kwek Kwek!

    suggestion to peel quail eggs: do it underwater (like in a bowl)
    it's way easier, and it also makes it easier to remove any tiny bits of stuck shell

      i clarified so people would't do it in running water. maybe for one egg it's not too bad, but for several eggs, it would be too much wasteage.
