One thing that I've always noticed about Filipino food is how there's really no hard and fast rule about how to make any dish. Just like with adobo's "here, vinegar is the fundamental base... now be free", kwek-kwek's batter recipe is "make your own, just make sure it's orange in the end". I absolutely love the freedom and flexibility.

That's so true. Filipinos like to innovate and experiment (or make do) with their dishes, they just have to meet that one fundamental quality to be called such a dish and you won't get any complaints. Hell, I've been served adobo where the protein is eggs. Just chicken eggs. But it hit the spot so it's all good.
@nathanblue3 жыл бұрын
It is however the downfall of Filipino cuisine internationally. Everyone likes to "freestyle" with the way they prepare the food so it becomes very inconsistent. Adobo, for example, should only be prepared with garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, and a little bit of sugar and water; if a foreigner enjoys it prepared the "correct" way and tries it again at a different restaurant but in a different way, it loses its authenticity and brings many different opinions from people. As a Filipino, I just had lunch at a famous Filipino restaurant in CA and was very disappointed with the way kare-kare was prepared and how it tasted. It is the one reason why the government wants to standardized the way food is prepared so that people can expect the same taste and quality especially outside of the Philippines.
@onthemark193 жыл бұрын
@@nathanblue I disagree; cuisine, much like culture, is constantly growing and evolving. It also adapts to the changing tastes and palates of the generation or its environment. While it is unfortunate that you didn't like how the dish was prepared, it is still legit kare--kare if it has a peanut base and served with bagoong on the side; though not the way you traditionally liked it. Really, every mother has their own version of kare-kare, adobo, tinola, etc. but that doesn't mean it's any lesser than what one is used to or how one wants it to taste like. Have you tried the deconstructed sinigang, it's prepared with char-grilled pork belly and served sizzling on a hot plate. Can't remember the original chef, but it is very good and a new take on the traditional sinigang.

@@onthemark19 we’re talking about the appeal of Filipino food globally. Have you travelled around the world? I’m sure you know that when it comes to Asian cuisine, Filipino food is still pretty unknown in comparison to other Asian dishes. Chinese and Japanese food are extremely famous because there’s uniformity in their dishes. The same is true with Thai, Vietnamese, and Indian dishes. Do you ever wonder why Italians hate Americanized version of their cuisine? It’s because they have very strict way of preparing their dishes. How can you promote Filipino food globally when you can’t expect uniformity with the way they’re being prepared? If you want to be creative with the way you prepare Filipino food, market it as fusion food and don’t mislead foreigners to expect standardized version of Filipino cuisine if you’re not going to present them the way they are supposed to be correctly prepared. With your attitude, Filipino food will never get the recognition it deserves.

Also Filipinos normally don't open their mouth much to enunciate the "short A" correctly. When people here play bball in the streets, during shootarounds, a player who nabs the ball from everybody gets two chances to shoot. The first time he shoots, he'd say "Beck! Beck!" Actually, what they're really trying to say is "Back! Back!" Meaning, give the ball back to me. Lol! Another classic is most Filipinos pronounce "Thank You" as "Tenk you".

The entire thing is then dipped in a batter of chickpea flour and water, dredged in bread crumbs and deep fried.

Omg, i need to make these! Quail eggs are pretty much a staple here in Brazil, you can find it in most supermarkets, and I absolutely LOVE it! Next time you get the chance, just boil them and dip it in rosé cream its HEAVENLY 😍 also, a trick to peel it without accidents or too much hassle is to pop the hollow bottom first. It will have enough room to get you started with the peeling. Another method I've done is roling it on a surface to crash the eggshell and then put a bunch in a closed container with a tiny bit of water and shake it good for a lil while. Like the garlic clive trick, but works better hehehe ALSO, I'd like to make a suggestion for another street food video (Brazilian, of course): have you ever tried/made a video about acarajé? The dumpling (?) itself has parallels with falafel (the same principle, OPPOSITE results 😂😂😂), but it's usually served stuffed with some amazing toppings, such as vatapá, caruru, (usually green) tomato salad mad with lots of cilantro, pepper sauce and shrimps (usually the dried ones). But it's perfectly possible to make a vegan version (the most original one is, actually). Acarajés are deep fried in dendê oil, which gives its unique flavor, but you could also use the same batter, fold in banana leaves and steam them, and then it's called abará. It's story is full of our African heritage, mixed with our own culture (which has a LOT of African inffluence). It can also serve some religious purposes. It's more popular in Bahia state (where I lived at during my teen years), and probs originated there (although it might have been in Africa). But since many people from Bahia (and all BR northeastern region) migrated to São Paulo over mid-XX century, it has been intertwined to our culture here in São Paulo (where I was born and have been living for tge past 15 years) ever since. It's pretty easy to find, mostly as a street food, but also in restaurants and bars. It would be my pleasure to help you record a vídeo about acarajé! Just hit me up! ❤️

This is such a sweet episode. After listening to your guests about their memories with Kwek Kwek, it reminded me of mine as well. Looking back, I've never had a bad memory with Kwek Kwek. It's always an enjoyable moment. I also ate it after coming from school or before or after a long commute from work or with my friends or family.

You should dip the duck egg on a vinegar mixed with minced garlic, minced onions (the more onions the better), little salt, small chillis, crushed pepper. how to eat it? eat it bit by bit, once you exposed the egg, dip it on a vinegar, do this until you consumed the egg..you can do this to on kwek kwek. the best part of it, is when you scooped the egg with all the spices.

a few slices of cucumber with a slight pinch of salt and drops of vinegar as side dish helps a lot to cleanse your palate so you can eat more kwek-kwek. That is how it was served here in a kwek-kwek stall besides the university where I went to school at. Though they used chicken egg. They serve it in a bowl, with a kwek-kwek, few slices of cucumber then the vinegar sauce drizzled all over.

I really love the quality of your videos. And I'm not just talking about the editing, but the content itself is so refreshing. I've watched a lot of food content creators but I've never seen anyone who's really open to learn the culture behind each food as you do. Thank you for creating such content!

Aw kwek kwek is our dating food when me and my partner is still college students. No fancy restaurants, just eating in the streets and bonding with other people. And now where 8 years already living together in a different city far from our school before, and when we get back to the street where we eat those kwek kwek before, I cried when the vendors recognize us and say, Oh, your still together, and started to have chit chat and reminisce the times when we are still in courtship period and how the vendors describe us. Kwek kwek is a truly nostalgic food for us.

If you make a Kwek Kwek using a whole duck egg, it's called a Tokneneng. You also don't skewer it, you partially submerge the whole thing in the vinegar sauce in bowl and eat with a fork. Tends to absorb more of the vinegar as you eat.

my fave dip with kwek kwek is the spiced vinegar! dip it just long enough that the coating on the kwek kwek has soaked up some of the vinegar (but still crunchy!). the sourness cuts through the oily-ness and richness of the quail egg so you end up being able to eat a ton of them 😋

Thank You Beryl for featuring, cooking, & trying the humble kwek-kwek & tokneneng (duck egg). Here in Manila, the duck egg is dipped in batter and cooked whole. That is why we bite into the whole fried battered egg when we eat it. Yum! Yum!

“Kanto ta Par” is an invitation. Kanto is a street corner (where street food are usually sold in the Philippines, also a meeting place), “ta” is short for “tara” - come, then “Par” for “Pare” or buddy. Kwek-kwek is also a viand partnered to rice. Originally it is from Duck eggs because that’s what Balut is. When vendors are not able to sell all the balut at night, those that remain becomes Kwek-kwek the day after. No waste there.

@@Rose-jz6sx honestly just tiny chicken eggs, I think they literally taste the same just much smaller. To boil one it takes like 3 min maybe. I usually marinade mine in black vinegar, soy sauce, and some spices with chili oil and they take on the flavour sooo nicely, even the yolk gets some of it
