If no one has mentioned it: how orange/yellow the egg is dependant on how the chickens were fed (: whether with corn, pellets or all kinds of different feed! They can go from almost red-orange to the palest yellow depending!
You're right but some influencers called out farmers for dying chicken feed, for brighter yolks - so if you are paying more be careful you're not being ripped off x
I grew up in an area with many people of Filipino descent. Oo! The food at the baptisms, the debuts, the weddings!! 😍 Even when Mom would come to visit from the Philippines, the food game would go to 11! I'm a vegan now and I enjoy trying to get the same/similar flavors with plant foods. Not the same, of course, but Filipino food is delicious whether it contains meat products or not!
To sensible people, spread it in different languages. We support Muslims, but the Hague court turns the words around and accuses the Russians, and Russian soldiers are on the territory of Ukraine, all politics. Peace to everyone.
The pink chicken is actually normal because the sauce chicken inasal is marinated with a reddish sauce so dont worry about it being raw because its not.
Came here to say just that. 😁 Fear not, lovely Taz, it is just the marinade that makes the chicken pinkish. I make this all the time and actually, it looks as if your inasal was quite well done. Cheers, mi dear!😘Yes, I am Pinay (Filipina).
*Silog* is sinangag (sinang-ag) + itlog. Sinangag is fried (garlic) rice and itlog is egg. Adding long in front of it means it's with sausage called longanisa and adding tap in front of it means it has meat called tapa and so on and on (cornsilog, spamsilog) *Umami* is a taste, like sweet, salty, bitter and sour. It's the savoury sensation you get when you eat meat or stuff like tomato, but is not any of the other tastes (sweet, salty, bitter and sour) It's the taste you get with monosodium glutamate (MSG) which naturally occurs in meat, tomato, cheese, mushrooms, seafood, egg etc. That coat your mouth "I want more" salivating sensation, but not the one you get with sour food. *Calamansi* is not a lime, it's a cross between a mandarin orange/tangerine and kumquat. *Pancit* is indeed what we call stir fried noodles. It comes from Hokkien 便的食 (Bian de shi) which means quick and easy convenient food. Cause it's a go to dish that you can whip up quite easily. *Lumpia* is spring rolls. It's another dish that the Hokkien people brought us. Pia means pastry/cake/pancake/flatbread, usually with a filling, in Hokkien. Lun means soft, so it means soft pastry. "BUT IT IS CRISPY THOUGH" We have different versions, the soft one and the fried one but we call em both lumpia. In other regions of Southeast Asia it's called popiah, which still has the "pia" part. Hope this helps.
I’ve also noticed your expanding palate! Your growth and curiosity is great. As a Filipina American, you definitely have to try out our soups. Sinigang is the most popular but controversial to non-Filipinos because of its savory sour broth. I like beef sinigang best. I think it’s a grower type dish. A good thing to note is that rice is an essential part of a Filipino meal - including the soups - to balance out the pungent, salty or sour tastes.
Hi Taz, great vid! Most of the dishes you've tasted were fusion food. But I bet they were still good since you rated them highly. Your breakfast was indeed silog, si=sinangag (fried rice that's usually garlic rice) log=itlog (fried sunny side up egg). In households, if not intentional silog, we usually have leftover from yesterday or last night's meal plus egg and rice and that's a silog already. 😆 otherwise, any meat like hotdog, bacon, fish, tapa, etc. are common. The pancit you had for lunch was just one of the varieties of pancit dishes in the Philippines. There are glass noodles, thick noodles, a combination of both.. then with meat or seafood plus stir fried veggies. PH dishes are mostly on the salty side which are paired best with plain rice. Yes, even the pancit. Carbs + carbs. 😂 Pandesal is very common here, just like the regular rolls you can easily grab in the store. No filling, just regular bread. But these days there are many varieties like that Ube you tasted and has filling too. Moby puffs were my fave when I was younger. 😁 it's really fun. You should also try Piatos, nova, chippy, moby chocolate, richee, roller coaster-these are just some of the OG snacks that is commonly loved here. The Bintang foods seemed like fusion dishes. We don't normally have curry taste pancit 😅 The Inasal is also a popular dish and though that chicken looked sus, it didn't look raw. It usually happens when it's grilled. That soy sauce at the last part was probably for that inasal. The lumpia is like a staple dish in every occasion! Was a little disappointed with the chicken adobo though as it didn't represent the usual dish we have. Adobo (either chicken or pork) is braised, so it shouldn't have looked that dry. There are so many different versions of adobo all over Philippines and all of them are correct. It just depends on preference and what was usually made at home. Example, older versions don't use soy sauce just vinegar, some only use salt, some have equal ratio of vinegar and soy sauce, some more vinegary than salty, some add sugar, some with chilis or coconut milk or pineapple. Really, they may be different from one family to another, but none of them are wrong. -so I guess that adobo you tasted wasn't wrong? Lol. It would've been better with rice though and the sauce from it would've been great on the rice. 🤤 As for the halo halo. Litetally "mix mix" . Is also a great snack or dessert. Some would have ice cream on top too and a flan, which adds greatness to the already awesome dessert. Glad you enjoyed your food! Hope you can visit Philippines one day ❤ Cheers!
Taz, I love how you honestly say if you don't know something. That is great. I'm glad you like Filipino cuisine - and yes, a lot of it is sweeter. The longonisa (sausage) is made with brown sugar and a splash of vinegar and a lot (!) of garlic. If you lived there, you wouldn't notice because they all smell of it ;-) . And lastly: Halo-Halo needs to be mixed up (as you did). Halo means "mixing". But there are so many other dishes out there, I would be delighted if you did a part 2.
AAAA NO WAY!!!! My favorite person on the internet just tried food from my home country!! 🇵🇭 As a long-time subscriber, I am super happy that you tried and enjoyed some of my favorite snacks and dishes. Thank you for trying them out, Taz! You’ve made my day! 💛
I hardly ever comment but had to say I’m an Aussie girl living in the Philippines, and they honestly have some amazing food here, some favourites are Kare-Kare Gulay, Pancit Canton, Dynamites and Sinigang na Baboy. For dessert definitely gotta have Silvanas or some Sans Rival, especially if you are a textures person. They are so yummy and satisfying to eat. Favourite desserts ever.
Hey from Australia!!!🇦🇺 I love your videos they make me realise there are genuine bloggers and people that don’t let their ego dictate them, keep being you taz!
I am Filipino and most of those dishes appear to be a fusion of other cuisines. Also pink chicken is suspicious no matter what. Intro dish suggestions Pancit bihon, chicken adobo, lumpia, and kare-kare
No "ethnic food" in the UK is authentic, except for some of the Pakistani and Ethiopian. They tailor it to British tastes. London is thr only place you'll find anything remotely authentic. This is the absolute best you can get. If you couod get Filipino food in the north of England, it woukd be frozen xhinese eggrolls with Thai sweet chili sauce, and a strange (unseasoned ot underseasoned) dish ot rice and meat that's a weird hybrid of Chinese, Pakistani, and Middle Eastern food, swimming in really bad sauce. And yes, it's still all called "ethnic food" here. And usually called "street food" no matter if it resembles any sort of street food or not. I'm an American living in UK and ive only had 10 good meals in the decade ive lived here.
Omg so glad you finally tried Filipino foods! A few notes tho! I had no idea there's an ube brownie, so that's something I have to try in my own home country. The Adobo should've had sauce, dunno why its dry. The Inasal is a staple here, so glad you liked it! The halo halo is actually eaten it a spoon and not drank with a straw, but that's such a good way to do it, I'l try that someday. I'm also not familiar with the last noodles you had, but if you're able to find a Pancit Bihon, you should definitely try it! Thanks for the great reviews and good choices on the food and snacks! ❤
halo halo is fun to make at home. We used to have an ice shaver so we could make then at home then add sweetened condensed milk, red beans, coconut flesh and many other treats (some add flan and jello and tapico pearls) then ix mix :) I recommend you try fresh lumpia it is much different than the fried ones
I noticed you liked Indonesian food, and it would be amazing to watch you try more dishes if you are interested and see what your thoughts are! Love your videos btw ❤
I miss London for the variety of food you can choose from. I’ve ended up in a small town in the south of England where my closest grocery shop is Waitrose 😂
i laughed a little when I saw the straw in the halo-halo since i do not normally see that and i usually use a spoon but i am sooo happy to see this! filipino food definitely needs to become more popular
12:34 We call it "patis suka" in our region. It's a mix of soy sauce (sometimes fish sauce) & vinegar with calamansi sometimes we also add onions with it. It can varry but that's how we enjoy it in our province. We dip grilled foods in it, inasal manok, pork or fish. It's somehow like a gravy for us, we pour some of it on our rice depends on how you like it really.
Great video! It was a pretty good variety of filipino foods. the longsilog can be sweet or spicy - the egg was perfect, vbut I like mine even more cooked. The pancit you had for lunch looked authentic enough, but I don't know what that was for dinner. the "lumpia" you had was not. Lumpia is normally much thinner and crispier. It's the crisp that get people addicted. 😁 the calamansi juice-better than any lemonade/limeade in the world. Great ending with the halo halo, but don't drink it with a straw. Eat everything with a spoon, then drink the liquid at the end. Things to still try: filipino spaghetti, kare kare (oxtail stew), arroz caldo (chicken and rice) leche flan, and bibinka (a better rice cake), You can do a part 2! Thanks for the food video. It's really good to see people trying new foods.
Hello taz, I love your videos and I have been watching you for SO LOONNGGG. I need need NEED you to try Turkish food. I know London has a lot of options for Turkish food and I just have a feeling that you will love it. I would love to give you suggestions and my favorites 😊
yes thats alot of rice for breakfast!! im filipino and we only do 1 small cup, the more yellow the yolk is the better, it means the chicken was super healthy
I'm Pakistani but my aunt is Filipino so it's so interesting to see you try things that I have as well, she makes these meatballs with sweet sauce, they're so delicious 😋💜
if you dipped the longganisa on a soy and lemon/calamansi or even spiced vinegar it would offset the sweetness of the sausage. It basically works for any meat that is marinated in filipino flavors.
I think the restaurant you got the Pancit from does a bit of fusion with their dishes. Have done Filipino restaurants with my friend from the Philippines and haven't encountered udon used in Pancit. The noodle dish you had at dinner looked more familiar. Also from the amount of Lumpia I have had, Lumpia is a bit different than spring rolls. The fact that the restaurant listed spring rolls and not Lumpia is probably the fact that they didn't want to do false advertising. Where as Disneyland in California has made sweet Lumpia before and I tell my friend and he has a tiny stroke 😅
Filipino food is heavy, but I love it lol Growing up I was used to having such a heavy breakfast, but that’s the memory I have as a child. Love this video! I’m glad you love calamansi juice!! P.S. YES, lumpia is spring rolls. We also have a dessert version called “turon” which has plantain and jackfruit! :)
SILOG is SInangag(fried rice) + itLOG (egg) Lumpia is spring roll. It is either veggie or with ground pork (Lumpiang Shanghai) The dip in the end is prolly a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce and calamansi. Sometimes they add garlic as well and black pepper. Halo Halo (mix mix) is usually eaten without using straw but either way, just enjoy it. Here usually it has a flan on top.
Taz, the citrusy dipping sauce you had with the adobo chicken was calamansi juice mixed with soy sauce. Like lemons/limes, it can swing both savory and sweet. 😊
You definitely made some great choices, Taz! You picked out some great drinks and snacks. I don't get to have authentic Filipino food as often as I would like in the UK so I was definitely enjoying the meals along with you! 💛✨
Halo halo literally means mix mix😅 You have to mix all the ingredients together before eating it. I guess that's the reason it's too sweet. You have to mix it to dissolve the sugar 😁 Thanks for featuring Filipino dishes 😍
You need to come to my mum's house you will have real authentic home cooked filipino food. We are london based too! The "adobo" you had is not truly an adobo dish it's just wings with adobo flavour. Also we will introduce you to home cooked Tinola, sinigang, pinakbet, pancit, Spring rolls, ensaymada much better than going to all these fusion restaurants that do not showcase and preserve traditional filipino cuisine in my honest opinion. But anyway it's nice to see you try some filipino style dishes and snacks.
Pink like that with dark meat is okay :) even if you cook to the right temp dark meat can look like that. Just make sure it’s opaque. It’s the white meat you don’t want to be pink!
Would recommend Pancit Bihon, Pancit Canton and Pancit Palabok. Try Ukoy (savory fritters), Sinigang (sour broth dish), Adobong Mais ( garlic corn), Kare-kare ( stewed ox tail or meat in peanut sauce and a ton of vegetables), Menudo ( ground meat, potatoes and peas), Relyenong isda ( stuffed fish), Tortang talong ( eggplant and egg omelet).
BIG LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES TAZ! I've been such a long fan and I gotta tell you, I really appreciate you making a vid on our food😍🥰 Try some Pancit Bihon, Sinigang with gabi and some Jollibee next time, there's one in Cardiff near St. David's Center... 🥰😊
If you miss the walkers tomato ketchup crisps you should go to European food shops they usually sell them there but the brand is lays which have the same owner as walkers
Hey! Long time subscriber but first time commenter!! I really enjoyed watching you try Filipino food! If you ever want better suggestions for good Filipino spots around London hmu! Glad you hit up Bintang! They're more of a upscale fusion of South-Eastern cuisines, with prominent flavours and dishes from the Philippines than authenic spot but geuinely one of my favourite places, especially to introduce Filipino flavours to friends! Their restaurant experience itself is lovely too, I'd strongly reccomend going there. As a cuisine it's definitely on the rise in western world but I think the main reason it's not as popular is the negative conatations so ingrained in western society towards the Filipinos especially in the UK and the US. We're seen as a poor nation, largely due to the the US training and importing FIlipinos overseas as cheap labour for nursing and domestic industries after WWII. There's a huge Filipino community in the UK but culturally we're very good at assimilating as immigrants, not pushing our culture or food to others, hence why many don't open up restaurants. It's nice seeing in London at least, that is changing rapidly and ube has become a household name! Sorry for the mini rant! A large part of the content I make is to promote Filipino culture so it really made me happy to see you make this video!
I don’t think that is a legit pansit canton. That lumpia is lumpiang shanghai and there’s also a version that is fresh lumpia. Please visit the Philippines at around September. I’ll tour you around. Let’s go! :) Love u!
Thanks for featuring our cuisine! Im a Filipino subscriber since your spoken poetry era. Ive been watching all your vids ever since. Always a fun time watching your vlogs it was very relatable haha😂❤
MUST TRY 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 🌺 KARE KARE 🌺 CRISPY PATA 🌺 SINIGANG 🌺 SISIG 🌺 DINUGUAN 🌺 LECHON THESE ARE SUPER MUST TRY FILIPINO DISH THAT IS NOW GAINING POPULARITY SINIGANG WON AS BEST SOUP DISH IN THE WORLD
Hi! Thanks for trying our food! Glad you enjoyed it. LongSiLog is basically LONGanisa (sausage), SInangag (Fried rice), and itLOG (egg). Then it turns into TOsilog (tocino), TAPsilog (tapa) depending on what viand you get with the rice and egg. Breakfast is called almusal or agahan.
Hi taz, Filipino here. The sauce is called toyomansi. Thats soy sauce with kalamansi. U can dip the inasal in that sauce and it will be amazing. Lumpia is springroll with meat on it, like pork or fish or beef. Try eating pares, or balut. Those are popular. ☺️☺️☺️
You should definitely try that halo-halo again. Because it means mix-mix so you're suppose to mix it first. The eat it. It's really great during summer here in the Philippines. Love your channel 🥰😘
So niceee you get to try some Filipino food! Hopefully if you do a part 2, you can try Jollibee, Filipino desserts and rice cakes (turon, maja blanca, bibingka, puto, mais con yelo) and other viands (sinigang, sisig, lechon)
In our language, Breakfast = "almusal" Silog = fried rice "sinangag", egg "itlog" Spring rolls = "Lumpia" Not all breakfast has fried rice and egg. Yes most Filipino breakfast is savory. Yes, unfortunately we tend to use sugar to enhance flavor in both sweet and savory dishes. It becomes a problem when you get older and you need to cut back on sugar.
hii taz, i have a good video idea for u, idk if u already did this but i've watched you for so long and i still cant recall if u already did this but the idea is to cook foods from around the world, u can maybe post on insta or tiktok asking if anyone wants to share a food of their country /culture or maybe their family recipes , basically around the world foods lol
If you wanna go for Filipino breakfast, don’t use beef and lamb sausages because we don’t have that available. A typical Filipino breakfast is Fried rice, fried egg (scrambled or sunny side up), hotdogs or tocino (caramelized pork if you have), tomatoes in fish sauce and banana ketchup.
If no one has mentioned it: how orange/yellow the egg is dependant on how the chickens were fed (: whether with corn, pellets or all kinds of different feed! They can go from almost red-orange to the palest yellow depending!
It also depends on free range or not
You're right but some influencers called out farmers for dying chicken feed, for brighter yolks - so if you are paying more be careful you're not being ripped off x
Yes! Same for colors of butter, when no colorant has been added.
I grew up in an area with many people of Filipino descent. Oo!

The pink chicken is actually normal because the sauce chicken inasal is marinated with a reddish sauce so dont worry about it being raw because its not.
They use annatto seeds.

*Silog* is sinangag (sinang-ag) + itlog. Sinangag is fried (garlic) rice and itlog is egg. Adding long in front of it means it's with sausage called longanisa and adding tap in front of it means it has meat called tapa and so on and on (cornsilog, spamsilog)

"if this gives me food poisoning I don't even care"😭
The pink means it's smoked! 😂
My worst fear
11:07 yeah, lumpia IS spring rolls!😊
And I think the last sauce that looks like soy sauce is meant to be paired with the inasal
I was thinking is was yuzu?

Wow (no hate whatsoever) but I think that’s the longest comment I’ve ever seen 😂
That chicken adobo flavor must have been northern style, northern adobos mainly Kapampangan area has dry adobo. Original adobo is actually dry tbh
Taz, I love how you honestly say if you don't know something. That is great. I'm glad you like Filipino cuisine - and yes, a lot of it is sweeter. The longonisa (sausage) is made with brown sugar and a splash of vinegar and a lot (!) of garlic. If you lived there, you wouldn't notice because they all smell of it ;-) . And lastly: Halo-Halo needs to be mixed up (as you did). Halo means "mixing".

AAAA NO WAY!!!! My favorite person on the internet just tried food from my home country!! 🇵🇭 As a long-time subscriber, I am super happy that you tried and enjoyed some of my favorite snacks and dishes. Thank you for trying them out, Taz! You’ve made my day! 💛

Omggg as a Filipino I've been watching your videos for awhile since younwere in cardiff!! Glad to see you try our culture!!
please try Egyptian food!!! koshari, taameya (Egyptian falafel), bamia and vermicelli rice!
Love how adventurous you are with trying things. You are just such a bright light in this world.
Thanks for another great video.
I am Filipino and most of those dishes appear to be a fusion of other cuisines. Also pink chicken is suspicious no matter what. Intro dish suggestions Pancit bihon, chicken adobo, lumpia, and kare-kare
kare kare is soooo good! I also love lumpia na sariwa and lumpia pritang better than shanghai
I believe chcken was smoked!! 😊
No "ethnic food" in the UK is authentic, except for some of the Pakistani and Ethiopian. They tailor it to British tastes. London is thr only place you'll find anything remotely authentic.

And yes, it's still all called "ethnic food" here. And usually called "street food" no matter if it resembles any sort of street food or not.
I'm an American living in UK and ive only had 10 good meals in the decade ive lived here.
Chicken can be fully cooked and still pink in color if it's been smoked or if it was close to a bone. It's probably fine!
7:20
Polish shops carry ketchup Cheetos, they are my fav 😅 I know it's not the same, but maybe you will like them too.
taz tries polish food>:] gotta see it
I love the lays paprika!
Any polish restaurants in London you’d suggest?
I don't live in London so could not tell you, sorry @@pthk2874
2:00 filipino sausages are always sweet its there thing
Yea my friend is a pinoy, and when she’s cooking the dishes, it always got a sweet taste😊

This series is the best thing that has graced UA-cam in a while.
thats why im subscribing her!!
The chips you bought aren't normally inflated like that, I'm guessing it's the air pressure from the overseas shipment that made it like that
7:14 Chips with ketchup flavor are my favorite chips. And the best sellers in Turkey are the ones with ketchup and yoghurt.
halo halo is fun to make at home. We used to have an ice shaver so we could make then at home then add sweetened condensed milk, red beans, coconut flesh and many other treats (some add flan and jello and tapico pearls) then ix mix :) I recommend you try fresh lumpia it is much different than the fried ones
4:05 eating pancit is not complete without squeezing calamansi/lime on top of pancit
I noticed you liked Indonesian food, and it would be amazing to watch you try more dishes if you are interested and see what your thoughts are! Love your videos btw ❤

12:33 the orange and lime, citrucy flavor you mentioned is actually the calamansi. the sauce is typically soy sauce, vinegar, and calamansi :)
yes thats alot of rice for breakfast!! im filipino and we only do 1 small cup, the more yellow the yolk is the better, it means the chicken was super healthy
12:33 that's soy sauce with calamansi in it. Yeah, the juice that you liked in Lunch
I'm Pakistani but my aunt is Filipino so it's so interesting to see you try things that I have as well, she makes these meatballs with sweet sauce, they're so delicious 😋💜
Lumpia is generic for spring rolls can be fresh or deep fried
if you dipped the longganisa on a soy and lemon/calamansi or even spiced vinegar it would offset the sweetness of the sausage. It basically works for any meat that is marinated in filipino flavors.
the sauce at the end is a mix of soy sauce and calamansi juice (normally) if not available, lemon/lime juice
I think the restaurant you got the Pancit from does a bit of fusion with their dishes. Have done Filipino restaurants with my friend from the Philippines and haven't encountered udon used in Pancit.
The noodle dish you had at dinner looked more familiar. Also from the amount of Lumpia I have had, Lumpia is a bit different than spring rolls. The fact that the restaurant listed spring rolls and not Lumpia is probably the fact that they didn't want to do false advertising. Where as Disneyland in California has made sweet Lumpia before and I tell my friend and he has a tiny stroke 😅
Filipino food is heavy, but I love it lol
Growing up I was used to having such a heavy breakfast, but that’s the memory I have as a child.
Love this video! I’m glad you love calamansi juice!!
P.S. YES, lumpia is spring rolls. We also have a dessert version called “turon” which has plantain and jackfruit! :)
Would love to see you try some South African food! I feel like it's so underrated!!
Taaaaz you made fantastic snack choices!! We love V-Cut and Moby 😍❤️ and I was so glad you picked up Ube Pandesal. So good!
Ramadan Mubarak to you all & may you all be blessed this holy month
Please remember me & my family in your duas, thank you🙏🏻🤲🏻🕌🕋
turkish cuisine plsss, love you
SILOG is SInangag(fried rice) + itLOG (egg)
Lumpia is spring roll. It is either veggie or with ground pork (Lumpiang Shanghai)
The dip in the end is prolly a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce and calamansi. Sometimes they add garlic as well and black pepper.
Halo Halo (mix mix) is usually eaten without using straw but either way, just enjoy it. Here usually it has a flan on top.
I clicked this since it had “Filipino” in it and they have some good looking food
i’m half filipino and half pakistani🥰loved watching you try everything!🥰
The flavors and mix match combo of Filipino food just seemed to fit Taz's personality so well too 😄
Always great to see another video, love Filipino food
since you mentioned that you liked ketchup flavoured Walkers, they sell ketchup flavoured Lays in a lot of Eastern European stores across London!
Taz, the citrusy dipping sauce you had with the adobo chicken was calamansi juice mixed with soy sauce. Like lemons/limes, it can swing both savory and sweet. 😊
Hey Taz, when meat is grilled or smoked it often becomes pink because the smoke infuses into the meat. Totally normal and fully cooked.
Taz! Please try Nigerian food! There are lots of lovely Nigerian restaurants in London. I know you will the flavour explosion! Thanks in advance 🎉
I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH ❤❤❤
You definitely made some great choices, Taz! You picked out some great drinks and snacks. I don't get to have authentic Filipino food as often as I would like in the UK so I was definitely enjoying the meals along with you! 💛✨
Usually when chicken is a pink/purple colour around a bone it was probably marinated in buttermilk.
Taz!! Your hair look healthier ❤️🩹
Have a side of sliced tomatoes for longsilog to balance the strong garlicky rice.
Halo halo literally means mix mix😅
You have to mix all the ingredients together before eating it. I guess that's the reason it's too sweet. You have to mix it to dissolve the sugar 😁
Thanks for featuring Filipino dishes 😍
Hi Taz!! That sauce at the end with the lemony flavour was for the inasal haha!!
You need to come to my mum's house you will have real authentic home cooked filipino food. We are london based too!
The "adobo" you had is not truly an adobo dish it's just wings with adobo flavour. Also we will introduce you to home cooked Tinola, sinigang, pinakbet, pancit, Spring rolls, ensaymada much better than going to all these fusion restaurants that do not showcase and preserve traditional filipino cuisine in my honest opinion. But anyway it's nice to see you try some filipino style dishes and snacks.
The sweet Longanisa is usually dipped in vinegar with a little bit of fish sauce
Pink like that with dark meat is okay :) even if you cook to the right temp dark meat can look like that. Just make sure it’s opaque. It’s the white meat you don’t want to be pink!
Would recommend Pancit Bihon, Pancit Canton and Pancit Palabok.
Try Ukoy (savory fritters), Sinigang (sour broth dish), Adobong Mais ( garlic corn), Kare-kare ( stewed ox tail or meat in peanut sauce and a ton of vegetables), Menudo ( ground meat, potatoes and peas), Relyenong isda ( stuffed fish), Tortang talong ( eggplant and egg omelet).
Taz chicken thighs are pink when cooked through 😊also if chicken texture is firm it's cooked
Please try Polish cuisine next!! Pierogi!!!! (with strawberries or blueberries and cream) :D
BIG LOVE FROM THE PHILIPPINES TAZ! I've been such a long fan and I gotta tell you, I really appreciate you making a vid on our food😍🥰 Try some Pancit Bihon, Sinigang with gabi and some Jollibee next time, there's one in Cardiff near St. David's Center... 🥰😊
If you miss the walkers tomato ketchup crisps you should go to European food shops they usually sell them there but the brand is lays which have the same owner as walkers
Love tomato ketchup crisps. Still have them in Scotland so you'll have to come back up here to get them 😁
the black sauce in the end is probably a mixture of calamansi juice and filipino soy sauce. Its a very common dipping sauce in the philippines.
Hey! Long time subscriber but first time commenter!! I really enjoyed watching you try Filipino food! If you ever want better suggestions for good Filipino spots around London hmu! Glad you hit up Bintang! They're more of a upscale fusion of South-Eastern cuisines, with prominent flavours and dishes from the Philippines than authenic spot but geuinely one of my favourite places, especially to introduce Filipino flavours to friends! Their restaurant experience itself is lovely too, I'd strongly reccomend going there.
As a cuisine it's definitely on the rise in western world but I think the main reason it's not as popular is the negative conatations so ingrained in western society towards the Filipinos especially in the UK and the US. We're seen as a poor nation, largely due to the the US training and importing FIlipinos overseas as cheap labour for nursing and domestic industries after WWII. There's a huge Filipino community in the UK but culturally we're very good at assimilating as immigrants, not pushing our culture or food to others, hence why many don't open up restaurants. It's nice seeing in London at least, that is changing rapidly and ube has become a household name!
Sorry for the mini rant! A large part of the content I make is to promote Filipino culture so it really made me happy to see you make this video!
Uncooked chicken is more of a translucent pink and has a different texture entirely - the chicken you had was fully cooked from what I can tell ❤
You need the "sawsawan" or sauce soy sauce with vinegar or calamansi
I don’t think that is a legit pansit canton. That lumpia is lumpiang shanghai and there’s also a version that is fresh lumpia. Please visit the Philippines at around September. I’ll tour you around. Let’s go! :) Love u!
Thanks for featuring our cuisine! Im a Filipino subscriber since your spoken poetry era. Ive been watching all your vids ever since. Always a fun time watching your vlogs it was very relatable haha😂❤

Awesome vid! Try kare-kare, pork sinigang, sisig, pork lechon and bicol express.
Lumpia and spring rolls are just the same 🤗
if you like the tomato ketchup crisp flavour, you might like the lays spanish tomato crisps. they taste amazing
They have Walkers Tomato crisps in my local Coop!
Hi! Thanks for trying our food! Glad you enjoyed it.
LongSiLog is basically LONGanisa (sausage), SInangag (Fried rice), and itLOG (egg). Then it turns into TOsilog (tocino), TAPsilog (tapa) depending on what viand you get with the rice and egg.
Breakfast is called almusal or agahan.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE YOUR SPEAKING VOICE!
Hi taz, Filipino here. The sauce is called toyomansi. Thats soy sauce with kalamansi. U can dip the inasal in that sauce and it will be amazing. Lumpia is springroll with meat on it, like pork or fish or beef. Try eating pares, or balut. Those are popular. ☺️☺️☺️
when i first started watching you as a kid my parents literally thought u were filipino
You should definitely try that halo-halo again. Because it means mix-mix so you're suppose to mix it first. The eat it. It's really great during summer here in the Philippines. Love your channel 🥰😘
7:16 pleased to tell you they still do tomato ketchup walkers! 🙌🏻
So niceee you get to try some Filipino food! Hopefully if you do a part 2, you can try Jollibee, Filipino desserts and rice cakes (turon, maja blanca, bibingka, puto, mais con yelo) and other viands (sinigang, sisig, lechon)
Garlic rice, longanisa sausage, egg & tomato....yum yum!
In our language,
Breakfast = "almusal"
Silog = fried rice "sinangag", egg "itlog"
Spring rolls = "Lumpia"
Not all breakfast has fried rice and egg. Yes most Filipino breakfast is savory. Yes, unfortunately we tend to use sugar to enhance flavor in both sweet and savory dishes. It becomes a problem when you get older and you need to cut back on sugar.
we usually use spoons for the rice most of us dont use the knife
your pronunciation is so good!!!
Your rice portion on the longsilog is what we filipinos call a portion fit for a construction worker
BEEF DISH
ADOBONG BAKA (beef adobo) - AFRITADANG BAKA (beef afritada or beef-stew in tomato sauce) - BEEF BROCOLLI - BEEF ESTOFADO - BEEF MECHADO - BEEF MORCON - BEEF PINAPAITAN - BEEF POCHERO (Pork Belly with plantain, beans and veggies) - BEEF SALPICAO (beef sirloin/tenderloin) - BEEF TAPA (dried cured marinated-beef) - BISTEK TAGALOG (filipino beefsteak) - CALLOS (beef meat/tripe with beans) - CRISPY BEEF TADYANG (beef spareribs) - KALDERETANG BAKA (beef simmered in tomato sauce) - NEW ZEALAND BEEF TAPA - ROAST BEEF - ROAST BEEF PARES
hii taz, i have a good video idea for u, idk if u already did this but i've watched you for so long and i still cant recall if u already did this but the idea is to cook foods from around the world, u can maybe post on insta or tiktok asking if anyone wants to share a food of their country /culture or maybe their family recipes , basically around the world foods lol
If you wanna go for Filipino breakfast, don’t use beef and lamb sausages because we don’t have that available. A typical Filipino breakfast is Fried rice, fried egg (scrambled or sunny side up), hotdogs or tocino (caramelized pork if you have), tomatoes in fish sauce and banana ketchup.
