Bruh this guy is a living legend. As an ilocano im so proud of him for introducing not just any filipino foods to Hawaii/world but also with its regional foods.

All that food is what's on our dinner table, real filipino/ilocano food. So proud of Sheldon repping Filipino cuisine and Hawaii's local culture & native culture. #mauinokaoi #808allday ❤😊

[@rillis26]

Not one to comment, but this if by far my favorite feature on the Halo-Halo series. So great to watch from the brief history narration to the cooking and most especially the harvest. The Filipino Hawaiian heritage lives on.

[@dalastkanakamaoli9058]

Just Filipino he isn't Hawaiian

[@islandfantasy5931]

When my father was sick he was bed ridden for a few weeks. He couldn't speak because he had a tube in his throat. His lips to point out the thinks he wants made every nurse and doctor laugh. One of the doctors has a Filipino wife. He understood my father

[@venusmabalot9435]

GI (Genuine Ilokano) here and thanks Sheldon in continuing our traditional food. I miss katuday, I have not seen anything it here in San Diego but we are slowly obtaining all the Ilokano veggies that we need for our denengdeng.

[@norilendelacruz693]

Love that you’re so proud of your Ilocano and Filipino heritage, Sheldon! Much love from LA!

[@1MrBryn]

Great to see the show back. I know so little about Filipino food, so I love watching this series.

[@mcjollirogers]

He's such a delight! Probably one of my chef heroes! I would love the honor of meeting him one day!

[@tosht2515]

Francesca and Sheldon are two of my favorite Eater hosts. Great to see them together...in Maui. 👍 I can imagine the production meeting before this series. "Thinking about visiting Sheldon in Hawai'i. Anybody up for that?"

[@MoeSherSam]

Thank you to EATER for producing this video. Ched Sheldon's cuisine and heritage brings back memories of Good Old Hawaiian Plantation Days. I'm proud to be an Ilocano and am greatfull to my grandparents who were also Sakadas and who worked hard for us.

Brings me home. Sugar cane is what brought my grandparents to Hawaii in pursuit of a better life. The sight of sugar cane growing, transports me to my childhood and these dishes warms my soul! Thank you Francesca!

[@Mikeski1969]

Thank you Chef Sheldon Simon and Ms. Francesca Manto for this!!

[@irenefelix6637]

I like Sheldon. He is the real deal. He knows his roots. Love the food that he creates too.

[@sourkastic]

Both my paternal and maternal great grandfathers were Sakadas. My father's grandfather eventually moved to California and became a grape farmer, that's where he met his demise though. While my mother's paternal grandfather had a heart attack on the ship, while he was coming back to Ilocos to bring his family to Hawaii.

[@calcober]

My favourite Eater series with my favourite hosts. Thanks for this!

[@mugensamurai]

Came for a halo Halo recipe but left with a wholesome history lesson instead.

[@eugeniovincenzo1621]

I use many Filipino ingredients when I make Italian food(Italy Italian - not American Italian)...like using bagoong alamang, bitter mellon aka amaplaya, malunggay, and patis...it really mixes well...my next challenge is to make Filipino food with Italian ingredients - which is a little bit harder...ciao!!!

[@recoil53]

Well at least Italy has a fermented fish sauce too. That's one flavor down.

[@danarambulo7404]

Try redwine adobo, with calabrian chili paste when you make the sofrito. Also Osso Buco Caldereta style (liver spread and cilantro) with Orange Juice and Zest

[@FoodandFootprints]

“That love cream” 🤣🤣

Now I wanna taste the Filipino food coming from the Hawaiian Region! Because I always feel like Hawaii and other Pacific Islands is still Philippines.

[@TheD510addict]

That Stew with Stinky Fish reminds me of NE Thai food without the extra aromatic herbs. Solid food for sure.

[@eajayy8969]

Filipino food may not look the most appetizing, but after eating vegetables for so long I need it and rice any time I eat.

[@pierrefontecha]

He said Aloha Shoyu. I agree. That shiet is the balanced response to other adobo color.

[@zvinomnomnom157]

Chef Sheldon, I believe in your cooking! You have to have your own cooking show. It’s so clear that you have captured the very essence of pork adobo in the other show. Never had I ever experiment in putting coconut milk on adobo cause sour vinegar on milky coconut milk will just clash. Sour-milky mimics spoilage taste. In tinola yes, cause it compliments the ginger papaya dish. I hope you continue innovate more new Hawaiian-filipino dish.

[@jspaingreene6350]

My grandparents spoke very old school style, so what little Ilocano I am privileged to know might be outdated - "Dios ti agngina". More please!!

Just like how Filipinos were brought to Hawaii for sugarcane farming same way Indians were brought to Fiji islands. Up to 40% of fiji population are indians.

yes but native fijians dont consider them fijians
