Yes, but those guys were awesome and to be totally fair, I have been doing this for two years and I am still awkward af too. For whatever reason it's not easy to face a camera.
About your question regarding the difference between chorizos and longanisa: The terms are interchangable if you speak Bisaya (Cebuano, or related languages from the Visayas region in the center of the archipelago). My mother used to supply Metro Manila's 5-star hotels with hundreds of kilos of longanisa, tocino and tapa each week from the 1960s to the 1980s, so I will explain the process of making her longanisa as best I can. My mother used to grind up beef and pork (she bought pork carcasses straight from the farms and slaughterhouses, and imported beef from Argentina until Batangas province became a viable source ofnlocal beef). She would alao purchase pork back fat that she minced fine and added to the ground meat, along with sea salt, freshly cracked peppercorns, some vinegar, plenty of minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and Spaniah paprika (she did not like adding food coloring that didn't also add flavor and quality to her longanisa). For the best snap, my mom used air-dried pork intestines for the sausage casings. These were the longanisas my siblings and I ate at home, and brought to school in our lunchboxes As far as I remember my mom's answer when I asked her the same quwstion you asked about the difference between chorizos and longanisas was that chorizos are made smaller here, almost like little balls, and they are sweeter, with less garlic, and they are often smoked, but not dried aa some longanisas are. I think chorizos also do not make use of air-dried intestines as casings, rather freshly cleaned but still wet intestines are used for chorizos. There are also several longanisa varieties here, ranging from very sweet, like the smoked hamonado longanisa of Pampanga, and the more garlicky smoked and sun-dried Guagua longanisa, also found in Pampanga. On the more savory and garlicky longanisa list are the Alaminos (from La Union), Calumpit (Bulacan), Tugegarao, and Vigan 'ganisas. The sweeter kinds of longanisas are usually found in Cavite, the Visayas and parts of Mindanao. You can also get longanisanag hubad, or skinless longanisas. Please pardon my tl;dr post. I hope I did answer your question, though.
De nada. I'm originally from Mandaluyong but haven't been there in centuries. Your videos make me wanna go over there and check out those places. I'm currently living out in the boondocks of Sagada in Mountain Province. @@PureDetour
I get the concern, but in all my years of travel (last 2 years full time and 25 years of extensive travel prior) I have had food poisoning once in my life. IN CANADA😂
I like your style. You eat anything you can with those filipino dishes. And your honest reactions make me happy. It's my kind of food that I would like to eat myself too. Enjoy your meal and have a good one, mate.😊
Bopis was one of my childhood favourites. I think it’s been like over a decade since I last had it. No filipino eatery in the US I’ve been to makes it, and can’t find that here in Japan. Gotta have it when I go back in the Philippines next year. Kumori means cloudy, good name for a bakery. Melonpan is not meant to taste like melon. They called it that because of how the bread looks like. I personally don’t think it looks like melon but that’s why the Japanese called that lol. They do make it with different flavours so melon could be one of them, but just explaining why it’s called that. Freshly baked melonpan is amazing.
chorizo I think is smoked, and the spices put in there are a bit different, like paprika, while longganiza is cured, and a bit in a sweeter side (in most of the regions here in the Philippines) but you can also find smoked longganiza, basically there are not much difference other that few spices and smoking/curing.
Yes, you are correct. I was guessing off the top of my head when I was filming. Unfortunately I saw a post this morning from Emriz Bulalohan that as of November 1st their P85 buffet will be suspended indefinitely.
Would love to, Sadohr. But as best I can tell, Kumori has a centralized bakery and then they distribute to their shops, most of which are kiosks in malls. There are a couple of cafe locations, but nothing is baked on site. If you want to see that, I will absolutely film it for you. Not like I would have an issue eating another red velvet messy bun. 😂
@@PureDetour Oh I see. That is a shame that they do not have an actual bakery open for patrons. That is ok. I would rather you explore more hole in the wall restos out there but thank you for your generous offer😉
Chorizo is made of ground meat, it has a smoky taste and the shape is round or ball shaped (like small meat balls). Longganisa on the other hand is made of minced meat, sweeter than chorizo and it’s long (shape of a hot dog/long sausage ), hence its name “LONG”ganisa
Thank you, Christine. I am in your home town again and will have videos from here starting Saturday. As to the bopis, it's hard to say. I ended up paying 265 pesos in total but I bought a homeless person the buffet breakfast and filled a styrofoam container for him. so 170 pesos for the two breakfasts. The 95 additional pesos covered a bottle of water, a can of pineapple juice and two large spoons of the Bopis.
You're so kind Geoff. People don't see that at first because you're a no nonsense guy and you don't flaunt it to get recognition. But watching you and your sincerity in your passion for food, I see it. I really hope your channel will pick up traction and keep growing.
chorizo are smoked and aged... while longganiza are fresh, that why when cooking longganiza. you start with a pan put some cooking oil and enough water to boil the longganiza, until the water evaporates... as the water evaporates frying follows because of the cooking oil.
@ginnochavez9731 ,Awesome explanation. Thank you so much. ❤️ So much like other chorizos around the world, they are smoked and aged (or dry cured)? But I assume completely different ingredients as they taste nothing like any chorizo I have had anywhere in the world
Had brunch in a Filo restaurant last weekend here in Melbourne, Australia, one serving of fried rice with crispy pork belly that cost me Aus $19.00. 😂 Looking forward on my next year's holiday to the Philippines.
Huge difference. I was blown away that I could find an all you can eat buffet for $1.50. Going to do a video at the other end of the spectrum at some point too. $75 buffet here in Manila which is crazy expensive for this part of the world
wait a minute... 85 peso for that? You can't get nothing here in U.S. for 2 bucks! well... a small kid's fry! A buffet at that?!!! Buffet here in U.S. is like nearly 20 bucks for breakfast! Between longaniza vs chorizzo... I prefer favorably Longaniza!
Good place to get food poisoning. Food standards are extremely poor in the Philippines. I’ve gotten food poisoning in BGC and that’s considered a wealthy area. There is no way this guy likes everything he eats, definitely over exaggerating. Super cheap usually = poor quality.
Lets address everything one at a time. Number 1 is going to be long. 1. I am 51 years old and have travelled full time for more than 2 years now and travelled extensively for 25 years prior. In these 27 years I have eaten at 1000's of eateries that would be considered unsanitary by western standards. The only time in my life I have had food poisoning was in Vancouver, Canada. Statistically you have a higher chance of getting food poisoning in the US than you do the Philippines and in all of the countries I have been to in my life only two rank higher than the US in foodbourne illnesses. Turkey and Egypt. I have spent a combined 4 months of my life in those two countries eating at every filthy place I could find and guess what? No food poisoning there either. Speaking of statistics, there is about the same amount of drowning deaths around the world annually as there are food poisoning deaths. Do you go around on UA-cam channels telling every body to stay out of every ocean, sea, lake, river, bathtub etc.? Your food poisoning here was an anomaly, not the norm. Get off your western moral superiority high horse 2. You are correct, I don't like everything I eat. But what I don't like, you will never see. I refuse to air content that shits on a business. There are three things that most of my viewers and every establishment I visit knows about this channel. a) I do not charge anybody to feature their business. b) I do not accept free food c) If I film at a location and it's not good it never makes it onto the channel. I have over 80 hours of footage that no one will ever see. And seeing as 90%+ of what I do is places you would deem unsanitary they certainly don't need the jackass westerner shitting all over their business when they are trying to feed their families. There are plenty of channels out there willing to shit on small business. Feel free to go watch them so you can feel better about your western superiority 3. "Super cheap usually = poor quality." ........that is true of a transmission and stem cell replacement and almost NEVER true of food. In fact that may be the dumbest fucking statement in the history of UA-cam. 4. Perhaps heed that old advice, that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it all. Or GFY, I couldn't care less either way
Emriz Bulalohan was an awesome experience. What other buffets in Manila do you think I should try?
Maybe the one in Sofitel?
There's a place called Charlie Wanton Special at 265 Haig Street, Daang Bakal, Mandaluyong City,
That is one I am bouncing around now , Sadohr😁
@anthonyoria-ht8dz, Will check it out my friend thank you🙏
@@PureDetour Yay🎉🎉
Wonderful. Thank you for this video.
Thank you too, Yasin! Good to see you as always❤️

its better to die full than hungry..
I agree☝️
😁
That's great 👍
Thank you! Cheers, Jocelyn!❤️
@@PureDetour have a blessed Sunday .
Are they able to keep stuff hot? Pretty good. I know in the US you would use steam tables with the inserts of food trays.
No, just like any carinderia everything is room temp. If you catch it as soon as the fill the trays again you can find some hot.
@@PureDetour kind of worries me getting there late and have not so hygienic food.

Watching here from Riyadh, KSA
Hello Riyadh! Thank you so much for tuning in❤️
Choriso is round and longganisa is long thats why we call it longganisa
You might need to travel with special kitchen tools for cutting food. A set of bread knives. 😁
For the most part the spoon and fork method works well
you must have a dipping sauce like soy sauce with calamansi and chili.
there was

must check out that yuzu cream-filled bread and i guess those messy buns
Red velvet messy bun especially Elf. Both the Matcha and yuzu karufuru are worth it too.
that hand snaking out to steal the pastry was adorable

Wow! That's cheap breakfast. How much extra was the bopis?
Glad you found someone to be with, in the Philippines. I hope it works out.

Right?😁
Try Cabalen resto if you want buffet filipino dishes.
Thank you Will look into it!😁
Wow ang sarap nyan bopis (heart and lungs)!
Super delicious my friend. Was so happy to have found the bopis there😋
85 pesos! You are going to bankrupt these poor folks.😂 If they're shut down next week, you'll know.
😂 Come on Darryl, it's not like I set the prices!😂
Wow
I know right?

is longanisa always fattier than chorizo? that seems to be my experience (particularly those that look like the ones in the buffet)

I have, numerous times and it appears in a few of my videos. Check the channel out. I have made more than 25 videos in country😁

$19 for some fried rice and lechon kawali? 😳
I am looking forward to your trip for you too😂
Take it easy on your sweets my friend. I hope your sugar glucose is normal
This was for the purpose of filming a video. I rarely eat sweets.
That's really cheap buffet for only P85. Here in CA USA we just had a buffet on a chinese resto and it cost us like $50 each. What a difference huh.
Huge difference. I was blown away that I could find an all you can eat buffet for $1.50. Going to do a video at the other end of the spectrum at some point too. $75 buffet here in Manila which is crazy expensive for this part of the world
Or you can spend almost $10 for a 2 item combo in a Filipino restaurant in L.A.
Shame you have to work so hard for us trying all those fancy cake rolls😁
I am most certainly a martyr!😂
Chorizo and longganiza are the same from what i know, it’s just matter of choosing how u wish to call them
thank you for the info❤️
Try Laguna province cuisine
If I have the time I absolutely will
A $1.50? GTFO! I'm hungry and jealous right now.
😂 i thought the same thing. $1.50 for an all you can eat buffet😋
Carefully with the guys at your BACK hide your fone hahhaha
Those guy were awesome. Had a long conversation with them off camera.
for less than a dollar you can balance your diet 😲
Less than 2 dollars but yes😁
Chorizo is thinner and it has been dried like ham.
Excellent, thanks for the info❤️

You are correct my friend. Unfortunately they have discontinued the buffet do to rising costs since this video was filmed
Better than the bacchanal buffet.
Never been there, but I didn't care for Vegas my one time there so there is that😂
Be careful with your bloodsugar. Dont indulge much on them sweets.
Thank you my friend!❤️
your reaction look like mark weins
Really? Nobody has ever said my reactions resemble his. 😂
Thanks for the info❤ They should branchout here in Bulacan😊🙏
Send them a message and tell them they have fans outside of metro Manila😁
Where's your wife?
I haven't been married for over 15 years
That buffet is ao cheap
How are they making money
Longginisa alone is almost 300 a kilo
Your guess will be as good as mine🤷♂️
@@PureDetour sheer volume like the old Chinese business men used to say it's ok to make little profit if the volume is big.
