It’s been awhile since I’ve been in the comments & watching your vids. I feel like I go through phases! I still love you guys & thank you for always being so bold to try new cuisine experiences. Thank you for showing my Filipino culture. Love you guys ❤
To enjoy Filipino food is to eat with Filipinos! You are so lucky to be invited to a Filipino gathering to be immersed in our culture. Next time hopefully you can attend a Filipino Fiesta, birthdays or better a Christmas or New Year Party 🎉 food will be overwhelming. Congratulations for experience Kamayan… 👍♥️
Hi Guys, kamayan comes from the word kamay which means hands, kamayan is a meal where you eat with your hands. I love your vlogs and will be hitting some of your spots when I visit there nexts. Great job!
A really fancy Kamayan.. I think what makes it authentic is the people. A simple spread would be rice with any kind of grilled protein (pork, chicken, seafood etc), veggies and fruits. Kamayan / boodle fight is meant to be shared. Nice vid.
So yummy! It’s been awhile but I love Kamayan! There was a restaurant that did it before Covid, but I’m not sure it’s still around. I’ll have to check!
That is best place for a formal event on the leeward side. I went to many business and private events while living in Ewa Beach. There are many Filipinos in that area and their hospitality is well known beyond the local community. . The main building is a charming Pacifica environment and beautiful location for all cultures to enjoy. I like it much better than typical Honolulu corporate rooms for rent. Thank you for adventuring out that way. I never had a bad meal with my always generous Filipinos friends.
growing up, i lived for a short time 2 or 3 yrs, in my grandma's house and she normally ate with her hands, and so did her 2 daughters, my aunties. My dad told us to eat with the fork and spoon. I used to be fascinated by the way my aunties and grandma ate and I only wished I could eat the way they did. My dad, who was born and raised in HI, did not like Filipino food. He fought in the battle of Leyte (drafted out of a Honolulu high school in 1944 into the US Army and sent to fight in the Philippines bc of his ethnicity.) He understood Visayan but did not speak it. My grandma cooked him American food while we had to eat Filipino food. After she passed away, we got to eat American food, unless my aunties visited and cooked.
Such a fun and educating video!! I never heard of Kamayan. Nice prizes too!!! That Rum bottle is pretty. Hope to be able to meet you guys at the Food Drive on the 13th 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼 Aloha❣️❣️
Mahalo Amanda & Felix for broadening our cultural scope and sharing the Filipino festival. The food, entertainment, and folks were so cool to experience through your perspective. Sometimes you just need to eat with your hands because it makes it even more onolicious. Aloha my Ohana familia! 🤙🏽🌺🇵🇭
wow imagine your middle school classmate blows up on UA-cam, so you invite them to cover a local food fest, and they do a great job!!! I love how you guys are keeping things local, makes me proud to see connections being made
you know fam, my wife is still in Cebu. 2023 she comes home for the first time, This vid excited us so much, you say filipina americans but.. Cebu she is just cebuan and loves you show also, so you have at least 20 fans in Cebu. Hahaha small numbers but you guys are international. Danks for the show, we luv you. Cebu 2023 YOur invited thants for sure come see how we brok da mont in Cebu.,
The palabok is a very odd addition to kamayan style food as you need to mix it. Overall great episode and nice to see the filam community creating events like this and you guys being a part of it
Pronounced Kamay an. Kamay meaning hand, Kamayan style eating with your hands. Nice showing. I have been trying to show my kids how my Dad and even I was raised. Salamat sa inyong lahat.
Hi guys 👋 My bf and I love your channel. We have gone to many of the places that you guys have visited. I'd like to suggest Fridas mexican food in Ewa Beach. Their chorizo tacos are bomb and just about anything else there is really yummy 😋
OMG… looks so delish y’all! Haven’t been to one of these in a while….. I’ve been to a Tongan style one… pretty much same ways… one I went to had a pig not too big on each table …& Everyone picked from that pig
What a beautiful and awesome event! Something a little different for Halloween. Miss eating Filipino food back home in Hawaii especially bistek. Mabuhay!
Kamayan means eating with your hands. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the Filipino food served. There’s a another style of kamayan which is called “Boodle fight”. All the foods are served right in the middle and everybody would be standing in front of the foods and eating with their hands.
I love this vlog guys, I watch from beginning to end, Kamayan is also called boodle fight in the Philippines , Thank you Amanda and Felix very nice and entertaining presentation. The only menu missing is the pork BBQ and liempo and salted egg.
Just love how you guys are trying out new things. Love every videos. Is there an amazing Peruvian restaurant in the island? Would love to know. Please keep up the great videos. By the way the funny outtakes are keepers.
I loved this video. I'm a Filipino and I enjoy all these foods. My major expression of my Filipino Culture is that I train in Filipino Martial Arts. I recognize the individuals doing the demonstration of FMA. It's the Tobosa Casag School of Kali Escrima. I know them from competing against them in Tournaments. It was fun to see them. I'm glad you enjoyed this event. Salamat. Mahalo and Aloha.
Ai'sus! Get outta dah way!....Sooo Ono!...I gotta Go! I gotta Go!.....I'm part Filipino so I'm always on the lookout for some Filipino grinds...Mahalo's yet again you two, Imau Mabuhai!
Palabok needs to be mixed first with its sauce. There is a restaurant inside seafood city called ' the grill ' who serves great palabok. Kamayan simply translate to eating with your hands which food is layout on banana leaves.
Great job at highlighting an important and significant culture of Hawaii’s melting pot! It would b terrific to see the same for the other cultures and cuisines! We already know that Amanda is your Lucky Charm , so I am intrigued to see what other treasures she will win!! Side note: I thought both of you were gonna get called up to do the wooden ( bamboo?) stick dance! Great job again!!!
We would love to see more of different types of cultures! Hopefully we have the opportunity 🥰 It would've been a mess if we did get called up to dance😆 We're both not so coordinated😂
That looked amazing! I love filipino food and culture. I wish I knew about the event so I could have gone. Maybe next time. As always, you guys did a great job covering a local event!
I’ve never been to a Kamayan. This looks amazing!! Amazing video and love the fact that I can enjoy a virtual foodie experience and learn about different cultural customs. I agree with you Amanda. Eating with your hands is a lot harder than it looks. 🍽️🥢 Those halo halo look delicious and ginormous!! 🧋💜 Congrats on winning!! Butter mochi is delicious. 🤤 Two for two!! 🎟️✌🏽🥃

Boodle fight sounds like a fun way to feast!
