What’s your favorite dessert? 😋

[@Ivan-bw6iw]

Filipenis drinks

[@youonlydieonce5308]

Cake

[@jeniececollazo7033]

Flan

[@alcor4670]

Definitely the sylvanas and turon. Turon's very easy to make, any Mexican can (and should) try it. And the best sylvanas on the planet has got to be from Bacolod imho.

Every Filipino out here screaming to MIX the Halo Halo!!🤣🤣

[@ankey7384]

It's getting annoying at this point. If they'll introduce something, might as well know how to do it properly

[@sharonealleyne9839]

I'm not even from the Philippines and I'm so annoyed!! If you are introducing a food, please, do research!! Mix up the Halo-Halo!! Damn!!!

[@Zee_1003]

​@@ankey7384true!!! and I'm also annoyed by these Filipino stores not telling ppl how to eat it properly or at least put a poster or something, as a reminder, of how halo-halo should be eaten... land these channels don't really do their research!😤

[@jesserobledo3439]

I'm Mexican and even I was like ( but you have to mix it ) lol

[@luigidelmar5015]

I'm Filipino, and halo halo tastes better when it's not mixed.

[@WordAte]

Mexican Dads are not picky eaters. But they know what they like. And they apparently really like Filipino desserts.

[@FoFaShot]

So basically picky eaters 😂

[@WordAte]

@@FoFaShot Hahaha. Do you think they are picky eaters because they have food preferences? Hahahahahaha.

As a Filipino, I was frustrated seeing the papas eating the halo-halo without mixing it. The name literally translates to mix-mix. The mais con yelo was also supposed to be mixed.

[@mariahuyo7315]

rage baiting maybe?

[@oninbhergz1199]

💯. Same thought. I think the responsibility is on the researcher or page owner. They should know how to explain it to their guests. Yes they loved it (probably) but they didn't had the full experience.

[@nicogervacio3760]

Feels like tasting different flavors of pizza by just taking a bite on the crust.

[@ARC.475]

The person who prepared or bought the halo-halo didn't explain how to eat them properly 😂

[@barneyDcaller]

The host didn't orient the papis to mix the halo halo

[@HappyCloud-ju2pm]

OMGGG I HAD AN ASSIGNMENT ABOUT A COUNTRY AND I CHOOSE THE PHILIPPINES, I PICKED HALO-HALO AS THE FOOD TO TALK ABOUT, AND THEN THIS VIDEO SHOWS UP ❤❤❤❤

[@beegeebad3193]

For first timers halo2 might be a bit challenging. It looks good but it might surprise you in both ways

[@aericacio]

Please don't say Halo-halo is Mix-mix in English. Halo the base tagalog word on its own means "Stir". Haluin, putting the suffix -in to the base word means "To stir". Halo-Halo means "Mixed" because of the act of ideally stirring all the various ingredients in it before you should enjoy it. We have a local Ilocano dish called Pinakbet, on its nature it is a dish of "Halo-halong gulay" meaning "Mixed vegetables". I appreciate you choosing the Philippines so I hope the etymology helps you on your assignment.

If food check featr they do good vids

[@bigchaiz]

mexican dads dissects each layering flavors of all those desserts like a pro, tasting and experiencing it, then explaining every part of any obvious ingredients and its flavor… they’re able to convey the experience to the audience.. very detailed food review, not overly attached because they love the food but they like the food as it is… compared it with some Mexican desserts but no judgement. pure and honest review… 👍👍👍.

[@Kataage_HRYK312]

fun fact: the word 'puto' in puto bumbong comes from Tamil words, not from spanish. the original word is 'puttu' that means 'portioned'. in india, puto/puttu can be eaten as a sweet dessert or eaten with savory meals. putu is also popular in malaysia and indonesia as well

[@modernkedatuan900ad]

omg someone said it thanks😭

[@coyotelong4349]

Filipino food in general is such a hodgepodge of different colors and ingredients, but it all comes together beautifully

[@leiralee1483]

Glad our Mexican dads loved our desserts! Puto Bumbong and Bibingka is a special dessert usually made or eaten during the Christmas season, it is meant to be eaten with tea and is usually sold after the Misa de Gallo (Simbang Gabi). Personally my favorite is Bibingka with salted egg on top of it.

[@joimarise]

thank you for presenting/trying FIlipino desserts! Bibingka & Puto Bumbong is normally sold & eaten during December or after Night Mass/Simbang Gabi in Filipino (devotional, nine-day series of Masses attended by Filipino Catholics in anticipation of Christmas.), but there are stalls that sell it everyday of the year.

[@TheEnnisfan]

Filipinos are the Mexican Asians. Filipino food is BOMB! Puro Pinoy!

[@unknownsource1485]

they are but also not cause of filipino loving sweet and vinegary food while Mexicans loves spicy food

[@TheEnnisfan]

@@unknownsource1485 True.

[@joshrillo]

We've had a lot of interactions with mexicans during the 300 years of Spanish Colonization. The governor general was even someone from Mexico.

[@HappyCloud-ju2pm]

good to know!

[@reycanuela3871]

Because, lots of exchanges back in Spanish times. Lots of fruits n veggies were were brought to Philippines

[@manuelbaliog5211]

Thank you for always appreciating my home country! 🇵🇭 Love to Mexico! 🇲🇽

[@Prinren]

Idk if anyone has explained this but puto means little steamed cake and comes in different forms. In other parts of Asia they say putu (Indonesia/Malaysia) or putuh, puttu (India) a lot of words we have in The Philippines and Indonesia + Malaysia come from the Indian subcontinent. But it’s very funny cause the Philippines was also colonised by the Spaniards, however it’s not connected 😂

[@jeanmuyuela8112]

puto is actually more of a mexican spanish word than spaniards spanish..

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Flan is my favorite! SO good! 🍮🍮🍮🍮

[@jr3kg3]

[@GlobalAdventurer]

Vicente is back!

[@cenedraspoison4577]

Yay! I'm so happy he's back. I asked what had happened to him in last week's video. Been awhile since we've seen him. Pleasant surprise!

[@jerseydevs2000]

As a Fil-Am, always curious to see the reaction when Spanish speakers try some delicious puto...😅 FYI the female version of the slur - the word with an "a" instead of an "o" at the end - has the same meaning in most Philippine languages as in Spanish. So that's the loanword we needed in the Philippines...

[@xarchanx]

yeah that is the case with puto. I think the only reason we get away with the name puto is because we only ever use the female equivalent as a slur. I haven't heard people in the Philippines use the male equivalent as an insult/slur

[@BatAskal]

Puto could be derived from 'puttu' of Southern India. Indonesia and Malaysia also have that similar dish. It's generally known that Filipino is mostly influenced by Spanish culture but little is known about India's cultural influence over food and the language.

[@justsomehaatonpassingby4488]

@@BatAskal it is... before Christianity and Islam arrived in the Philippines, the Islands were under the influence of both Indian and Chinese cultures, puto is one of those foods that came from the Indian cultural influence

[@mauriceknighton8590]

Aw man. I was hoping to see my favorite on here, biko. My brother’s mother-in-law is Filipino and if I know she’s visiting, I get what she needs for my own personal biko. Love it. She loves that I know a lot about Filipino culture

[@willvr4]

I don't want to misquote Anthony Bourdain, but he essentially said "the more a country has been conquered, taken over, conquered again...over and over again by different cultures...the better their food is." He wasn't wrong, unfortunately. PH food is phenomenal. I literally stayed in a relationship too long with a girl from Cebu just because of her cooking haha When it comes to fried chicken, everyone talks about Southern American Black culture, or Korean....nah, Filipinos make the best fried chicken, no contest.

[@aericacio]

Alin yan? Bojangles style fried chicken ba yan at yung paper chicken ng mga Koryano? Crispyliscious Juicyliscious Spicy Chicken joy pa lang hindi na makapalag mga yan eh. What more pa yung Aling Ruby's Fried Spring Chicken ng Max's? Ituro mo pa yung 1part hot sauce : 1part Worcestershire : 4parts Jufran Banana Catsup baka maghanap ng passport bros at sis natin bigla bigla mga yan, eat out Fried Chicken errday. Sa totoo lang hindi nga pinapansin fried chicken dito eh, mga bata lang may gusto kainin, literal na sisiw lang naman kase yan lutuin, prito at marinating skills lang yan eh instant pot mo pa. Kung sa bagay wala naman din ako masyado ineexpect sa lugar na kung hindi barbecue, fried chicken o hamburger ang pagpipilian tapos boxed cereals o kaya tinapay imbes na kanin.. D'oh..

@@grod805 not a lot of people do if you haven’t had it before I’m surprised the restaurant that gave it to them didn’t tell them

[@jaydeleon695]

It's called that not because you're supposed to mix it (you are but not because of the name) halo-halo means a mixture of different things not to mix it before eating

[@styremcstyre]

When I was an exchange student in the Philippines many moons ago, I was told by a university professor that it's halo-halo or mix mix" because of its varied ingredients.

had a Mexican neighbor years ago when I was in NY. the dad loves those turon I made for their family. In turn, they made some quesadilla for me a day after.

[@mnchld]

this was so much fun to watch! really made my night better

[@jjames6990]

Lots of similarities between Mexican and Filipino food Mainly due to the Spanish colonizing both places lol

[@sweeteggnoodz]

It’s also cause Spain couldnt afford to not focus their Spanish man power in Latin America, so when they colonized us, majority of the manpower sent to the Philippines were conscripted Latin Americans. So there were actually more Latin Americans than Spaniards in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era :)

Definitely good selection and variety of Filipino desserts here. Kudos to whoever picked them.

[@Prinren]

Haha I love sago at gulaman. Besides tapioca pearls it consists of agar agar jelly called a) gulaman or b) grass jelly. (A is seaweed and b is a type of herb. Both turn into a jelly) and the brown sugar syrup with banana and vanilla extract. That’s why it tastes “different”

[@cvbnmqwas]

Im a Filipino, and Im glad you like everything!

[@xarchanx]

Dude, rarely is silvanas featured in vids like these but they are absolutely incredible. Glad these Mexican dads got to try it. They should try Sans Rival next if they loved Silvanas

[@LindaC616]

No wrap-up? (What did they like best, overall, etc?)

[@crescentcrab]

That aromatic taste is most likely pandan leaves. They're used like vanilla is used for Mexican desserts. I definitely recommend them. I was told by a Thai lady that you can use pandan for tea for diabetes. Pandan is used essentially in the ASEAN region

[@smittywerben1849]

For those that wanna try halo halo. Its served liked that with layers because it looks good presention wise but to get the full experience you have to mix it with a spoon. Make sure it blend well but dont crush or break the beans, gelo, and other ingredients too much because texture is just as much of the experience as the taste is. Its very good when you get the mixture of the tastes in your mouth. If you dont mix it you're basically just getting shaved ice with syrup and milk

[@christianalcantara4602]

The traditional toppings for puto bumbong is Margarine Toasted Sesame seeds Sugar Coconut Shreds my grandma sell puto bumbong when i was a kid in front of our house.

[@2024LOLLeague]

You have to mix the halo-halo and even the mais con yelo to get the best flavors.

[@juliusdelgado9952]

Very good variety of Filipino snacks and desserts. The sylvanas are hard to get even in the Philippines so Im surprised to see it here. Our flan are usually made with pure eggyolks thus the denser consistency. Puto bumbong is best enjoyed with hot chocolate during Christmas season in the Philippines. Turon is the easiest to buy as they are sold in almost every street vendors here and they are affordable too. We use Saba banan in our version tho and not plantains. Great video guys!❤
