Traditional FILIPINO FOOD Tour in Cebu 🇵🇭 What to Eat in Philippines!

[@juliebabin]

Coconut vinegar: please globally export this product !! yum

[@ayngelina]

It is so good and I don't know why I haven't seen it in other countries. They also use it for wine in a drink called tuba and Mexico also has the same drink but I think both are pre-colonization so how did both countries decide to make wine out of coconut?

[@alexarmanto2986]

Historians shared that during the Spanish-Mexican galleon trade, Filipinos brought the coconut fermentation technology to Mexico to share how to make coconut wine and vinegar. When Spaniards ​arrived in the Philippines they documented that Philippines had the technology to create wine and vinegar from coconuts and they documented "kinilaw". Kinilaw is older than ceviche. A lot of Philippine cuisine are sour (sinigang, adobo, sisig, kinilaw, kilawin, etc.) coming from Philippine's extensive use of vinegar. But aside from coconut there is also sugar cane vinegar from the Philippines that also tastes great. @@ayngelina

Thank you for sharing this! I love this kind of history. But just one note ceviche is not from Mexico it's from South America. There's a big debate on it, I shot 100 videos in Ecuador so it's often mentioned in my comments with fervor. Personally I think it's from Ecuador as the use of "iche" is from a region in Ecuador but Peruvians insist it's from Peru. Unfortunately we'll never know definitively so I think it's best to just appreciate the dish as it exists now.

Wow, that tour looks so fun. Beautiful day and the food looks awesome. How did you find this tour?

[@ayngelina]

The Department of Tourism for the Philippines reached out to me to attend the UN Forum on Gastronomy Tourism for Asia Pacific and they had tours the following day.

[@grifsfoodandtravel]

@@ayngelina That is pretty cool! Loved all the dancers and performers they had prepared for your tour.

[@ayngelina]

It wasn’t what I expected when they said we were going on a tour but I feel like I was able to see a lot and try so much food in a short period of time

[@carribyanadventures]

Thanks Ayngie for this video 🥰🥰 so so so so miss my hometown....😭😭😭 6 years and counting. I really want to go home

[@ayngelina]

It’s a wonderful place, where do you live now?

[@carribyanadventures]

@@ayngelina currently in Nassau, Bahamas 🇧🇸 just seeing you enjoying my hometown's food fair and the sceneries....makes me want to tear up

[@ayngelina]

Oh I would love to visit the Bahamas but so $$$

[@carribyanadventures]

@@ayngelina you can say that again.....much of the produce and meat are imported from US and UK. Plus the choices are so few compared in my country. Fish and meat abound there and always freshly butchered within the day.....ergo, the missing very much 😭🥰

[@ayngelina]

well I have 6 more videos around the island, so I hope they bring back good memories for you.

[@eternitywithjesus777]

What a really great tour! You have the ingredients given to you right there. No guessing, right? Alan is chowing down on some yummy food😁. Plantains? Or are they really bananas?

[@ayngelina]

They were like a fat baby banana split open and filled with chicken. These bananas are used a lot in the Philippines and are really good.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

we have plenty of banana variants - Saba, Lacatan, Latundan, Senyorita, Cavendish

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

The secretary of the Department of Tourism is from Cebu and in fact the daughter of the governor of Cebu

[@ayngelina]

I didn't show this on this video because foreigners wouldn't know her but the governor actually flew in on a helicopter!

[@calvinc6121]

haha out with the cone and back with the sombrero! don't you feel like you are back in latin america?

[@ayngelina]

You know they listen to a lot of reggaeton in the Philippines and I’m not mad about it!

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Pronounced as Da-la-ge-te

[@ayngelina]

So I thought that was how it was pronounced because it's how Dumaguete is pronounced but then they told me it's not pronounced like that and is instead Du-ma-get This did not make sense for my brain so in the video sometimes I go back to pronouncing it da-la-ge-te because it's what I assumed but then remember people told me it wasn't.

[@fortuneybiernas5778]

Maybe that's correct. I checked. Came from the word 'dalakit'.

[@ayngelina]

Yes! But it’s so confusing because it’s spelled so similarly to Dumaguete.

[@aaronml8298]

Your videos are always so yummy. Not so porky lol

[@ayngelina]

It depends on where we are. I feel like everyone knows the Philippines has amazing pork so I want to show that it has more. The country gets a bad rap for culinary and I think it’s because the food is reduced down to a few pork dishes.
