Sometimes Filipinos just need to see a humble foreigner sincerely enjoying the simplicities of Filipino culture in order to be inspired and appreciate our country more ourselves.
@benedictfrancisco3978 there are multiple foreigners like Kurt and myself who for decades have adopted the filipino culture and its complexities for happiness.
@@StrikeFirst01 i think it has something to do with our history, being under Spanish, US, and Japanese colonialism for around 300 + years. Even western trends do trend here and we hold with high regards anything that came from the west. So by nature, the majority of Filipinos have that tendency to look up or even be intimidated by foreigners especially Europeans or Americans. The effect however is reversed when it is the foreigners who are reaching out. So mostly, it is met with warm welcome and admiration.
15:03 man i just know what that core memory feels like when it hits. when me and my brother were young, we’re always excited for summer, because that just means school year is over and we have to spend 2 months of vacation in our lola and lolo’s house in province. i can still remember the smell of fried daing, pusit and garlic fried rice every morning, plus we have to wait for taho or pandesal vendor too, hearing my lolo sweeping the fallen dried leaves of mango tree with his walis tingting, and he always pile the leaves and then burn it. man those were the days. good old times. and also I remember every night we have to set up our kulambo (mosquito net) and then the smell of the katol (mosquito killer). aahhh so many good memories with my grandparents. miss them a lil bit today when you mentioned that core memory you had ☹️🥺❤ wish i could back to just to feel, hear, and smell one of those mornings i had every summer vacation. hays..
Just you know the elegant foods sir..but mostly of us pilipinos we ate native dish like vegetables. Like my mandaya tribe in Davao we eat mostly GINATAANG GULAY. ginataang Gabi na may tuyu 😘
When we eat, our senses of taste, smell, and sight are engaged, and this can trigger emotional responses in our brains. Memorable food experiences evoke emotion because food has a powerful connection to our senses, memories, and cultural identities. The Sinangag and Beef Tapa definitely triggered a sense of comfort, safety and security now that you are away from your comfort zone. The Nanay who cooked Beef Tapa for you back in your Missionary days must have given you a long-lasting impression of that motherly-love that wiped away your feelings of uncertainty while you were away from home. We hope someday we would cross path, shake your hand and personally give our thanks to you, Kurt for loving the Philippines and our culture so much. ❤❤
My neighborhood! I remember walking around in that area with my mom, and that bakery in the background was selling a kind of bread with ube in it. My mom was raving because the filling was made with real ube, not the flavoring type. Memories! ☺️
Thank you Kurt for being so nice and kind to Filipinos. We're also very sentimental people and simply love Western culture. I'm a bit ashamed to admit that most Filipinos thought all Americans or Europeans were rich. Anyway just enjoy your vlogging and stay in the Philippines. Ingat lagi coz you know not all people are good anywhere. God bless po 🙏😇.
I hear you Kurt , that happen to me while I was eating the food that my Mom cook for us all the time ,I hardly cook Pinoy food but if I do make sure that’s the special one that my Nanay make us .
Kurt,🎉 the burst in your mouth flavor. You are funny with your mixed taglish words and the lagaw(fly). Keep sharing all those fave food you keep hunting helping local eateries to succeed. You are a great walking advertisement. ❤. Best if luck on all the food food hunt. Go to Bicol as well, like Naga city, Albay, where the volcano ,mayon is still very much active. Spicy and coconut and. I will check here then if you had a chance to visit that part of the south of Luzon
Kuya kurt im a new subscriber po. I was born and raised in quezon city but now living in florida USA. I go back to the Philippines every year and I really miss the simple life there.
When i saw this vlog i was like "i know this guy from somewhere" then i went to instagram and saw i am following youu!! You are tagalogkurt!!! I watch all your filipino skits there! And was shock you are starting to vlog now here in the philippines. thank you so much for coming here!! I hope its not hard on you since you used to be on a cold weather in your country. I really love your chincilla and how you make filipino food. Thank you!
man i weep...your story...is very SO AMAZING..I AM SO PROUD OF YOU MAN...AS FILIPINO WE LIVE IN CRISIS , WE SURVIVE IN CRISIS AND WE ARE HAPPY IN CRISIS...WHILE THE EUROPEAN AND WESTERNERS THEY JUMP OFF IN THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE...MAN ..I AM SO PROUD OF YOU..BE SAFE AND GOD BLESS CHEERS
Tnx, Tagalog Kurt,,for promoting our country,and loving our local food,,,mabuhay ka,,at lagi Kang patnubayan Ng MAYKAPAL at gabayan sa lahat Ng iyong lakad,,ingat palagi,,,
salamat kurt isa ka sa halimbawa ng mabuting taO at mapagmahal na puso SALUDO ako sayo Pare! na mimiss ko tuloy Lalo ang nanay ko dyan sa Pilipinas.. nasa abroad kasi ako ngayun. salamat ulet
Hugs!!! Thank you for spreading God's love in Abra, and now all over the Philippines. Those Nanays fed you not just food, but so much love from their hearts. It's always there. God bless you even more. Also, it's the garlic flavor profile - northerners love garlic!
First of all, thank you for your service! I have the highest respect for all the men and women who serve in the armed forces. We are forever indebted to your selfless sacrifice. Filipinos have such admiration for people like you, Kurt. You immerse yourself into the Filipino culture. And yes, to know the culture, you must try one's cuisine! Filipinos are very sentimental to certain dishes because it DOES bring back memories for us (e.g. Lola's cooking). When someone says , "Kain na!" or in my case, "Mangan tayo!", I take that as an expression of love. You, sir, are truly a Filipino at heart! Thank you again for sharing your experience with the world!
That’s what I’m gonna do when I get there. Just stuff myself eating ’ left and right and walk it off. And yeah you gotta drink bottled water if you wanna last eating the local food and not getting sick instead of the more pricey restaurants. I’d prefer the former cause it’s down to earth. Stay safe and healthy brother man. God Bless.
Hey pare...your response to the food as transporting you to the past was something famously described in Marcel Proust's great novel, "Remembrance Of Things Past." The whole story is triggered by the protagonist bite of a madeleine biscuit.
Living here in the US as a filipino thinking most people here missed a lot of good food to try instead of just fast food with no value. Now I’m going to make my own tapas silog for breakfast😊
Tapsilog & other Silog, you can eat at Brakfast, Lunch, Merienda and Dinner. With soy sauce vinegar lime and chili for dipping... You will never get bored.
I love how the way you respect our culture, how you act and how you appreciated things. You look like a real Filipino ! ♥ ♥ keep it up you got a new subscriber
Thats just the most filipino way of eating it. Food really brings you to a specific time or experience of your life where you wish and wanted to go back sometimes leaving the stress of your recent life behind. 🤙🏽
@@joseronaldbellenbercasio4367 huh? May asawa n xa? Pagkakaalam ko wala, marunong mg ilocano kasi missionary cla, ngpunta ng pinas nung mejo bata pa xa sa Ilocos.
Drinking hot coffee or soup while it's hot is what we call "pampagana" like a starter. It makes you want to crave for more. If that makes sense to you. Cold drinks at the end is like the finisher to seal them all in. :)
Hello Kurt, I am also a transplant from the US. When we eat certain food/dishes, we connect to moments of our past that reminds us of fond memories with people we respected and miss dearly. Enjoy your food travels in the Philippines❤🇵🇭🙏 God Bless.
Im from the bay area c.a (SFO) born and raised here but i wana say thank you for featuring our country.i know you are a part filipino already stay safe!!!
The best time to try different home cooking is during Fiesta time where you hop to different houses and try their food. Every house competes for the best cooking. Fiesta time is like one big block party for the whole community! 🫰🔥❤️💙💛🇵🇭
Man... It's been a while since I was able to just watch a full vlog. This is such a raw, wholesome vlog that is just so good. You didn't even do B-rolls like other travel food vloggers do pero absorbed ako sa video dahil sa kwento mo, Kuya Kurt. More videos to come!
Kurt you're awesome I had no idea you served and as a marine during the early 2000s. That video takes me back, literally what the 2000s felt like with technology.
I’m the same way with pares literally brings a tear to my eye. It was my father’s treat to me when we would do errands. RIP Tata miss you happy Father’s Day. Will definitely drop by the resto when we go home at Xmas. Thank you for your videos.
Kuyakurt all d way pa ulit ulit sa video mo da best ka ... Maraming masasarap na makakainan Kuya Kurt mas Marami ka pa ma tutulungan .. ur da best keep safe always proud of you Kuya Kurt💪👍
Hala, bakit umiyak din ako ng konti? 🥹 i can relate to this 15:37 Food indeed gives us core memories. Thanks for showing your vulnerability, Kuya Kurt. Sana madami ka pa ma-discover na Pilipino food. Sana maka-collab ka with FEATR or other pinoy food content creators para madami ka pa madiscover, at matulungan in the process. Subscriber na ako since your carenderia episode mo from Tagaytay 😊
'Silog' is a portmanteau ----- 'Si' for sinangag (fried rice) and 'log' for 'itlog' which is egg ---- I've got to hand it to you Mr. Kurt ----- looks like you're having a religious experience eating delicious Philippine cooking ------ enjoy!
