Thank you so much for adding subs, it make a big difference! So interesting to learn more about the Filipino culture and cuisine 😄

Proud to be a part of this production together with Chef Billy Genterola. We shot the whole scene in Gainza, Camarines Sur (Tinuktuk Maker) Enjoyed shooting especially the boat scene. Thank you FEATR and Erwan for the opportunity. Dios Mabalos!

[@AuntieMonicaFromTheBay]

Beautiful footage!

[@reneelovemanolis5625]

Thanks Erwan and the rest of FEATR team for featuring my hometown, Bikol. Im proud of how popular our dishes are esp pinangat, kinunot and bikol express that even our German Head Chef in the company im working here in NZ knows our Bikol express. Keep featuring other regions food specialties to promote more of our Filipinos dishes.

[@saymacaroni]

I don't mean to be a jerk but it's Bicol. Bikol is the language.

[@reneelovemanolis5625]

@@saymacaroni Bikol is the common name referring to the entire Region V (Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Naga, Albay, Sorsogon & Masbate). It is the same name as well we called our dialect.

[@saymacaroni]

@@reneelovemanolis5625 Actually Bicol is the name of the region and Bikol reffers to the language.

[@mammontustado9680]

I heard someone say bicol express isn't really invented in Bicol, but in Pampanga instead. Can someone clear this up?

[@imdark4975]

@@mammontustado9680 AFAIK, it was called Bicol express after a PNR train going to Bicol. Also Kapangpangans does not use coconut milk as much as Bicolanos.

[@libertyobidos3681]

I respect Earwan's efforts in featuring the food culture in every regions of the Philippines. It somehow gives us an idea on how we could expand a possible market from his point of views.

[@Henyo1070]

Not an ordinary food vlog. Well researched and well produced. I hope you can also feature food in Albay.

[@featrmedia]

Thank you very much

[@earlsantos9987]

Bicolano food is fire! My mother in law who is Bicolano cooks the best Ginataang Santol. It’s not so mainstream but the world should have a taste of it!

[@ZarahDipolog]

There are other Bicolano dishes that you should try, Tinutungan, Ginataang Kamias and Ginataang Santol. They are not well known like laing but they give so much flavor.

[@sheenakirstine]

I was born and raised in Legazpi City. Thank you Erwan for highlighting that legit Bicol express is mostly "BALAW" and not the canned coconut cream we see on tv or other food vlogs. 👏👏👏

[@Ordellseedd]

Lumbôd (Buko)- For salads, can be eaten raw since the coconut meat is so soft and sweet. Sunó- For kakanin pwedeng pang garnish sa kutsinta kasi juicy pa sya. Lukádon- Pangkakanin Laya- Yan yung pang-gulay talaga, dyan mo makukuha yung tinatawag nyo sa tagalog na Kakang Gata. Yung unang piga yun yung coconut cream. Yung pangalawang piga yun yung coconut milk. 👌 also Erwan, coconuts are natural laxative so please don't drink raw coconut cream/milk sasakitan ka ng tyan. lol.

[@delserquillo6384]

I just love how Erwan narrates and explain everything! So informative! Di ka magsasawang panoorin ang mga vlog niya

[@alysaranido5050]

I am from here in New York City but born in Bikol ( Ligao City ) and I WILLL NEVER EXCHANGED our bikolano dishes AT ALL as my topmost favorite dishes....ERWAN I am your no 1 fan of your blogging...you are very good in presenting each topic your getting into...suwabe and good looking guy too hehe...kudos Anne.... many more blogs to come 🙏

[@chickenjoy]

As a Bicolano, growing up, I thought gata is the default ingredient for all the vegetables because we eat with it everyday. Not until I worked in Manila where I usually get served disappointingly bland and uncreamy gata dishes so I resort to meat ones instead.

[@sheenasolero]

Thank you for this! ❤ from a Sorsoganon.. also, I have a theory that the use of coconut became predominant in Bicol because of a larger group of Indians inhabited this region in ancient times.. it's primarily vegetarian and spiciness, with just tweaks for the seafood we have in the region, and other meat for the local palette.. you will recognise the Indian genes on most Bicolanos

[@mrprimoy]

Really really good content about Bicol, specifically Naga City. Thanks for visiting my hometown Erwan and team! 👌

[@cenonsvlogs]

Very informative, when I visited a remote place in Mindanao, as a bikolano, I cooked kinunot because of abundance of pagi in that place, the natives ask for more....ubos lahat..

[@clarissaarmes896]

that is bicol region… pili, coconut milk, and sili are the stars of bicolano cuisine… thank you for showing it Erwan…hope you could visit the other provinces..😁

[@Shebum]

Thank you so much Sir Erwan for featuring our place.🥰Im so gratefull that I am Bicolana

[@amelitoderecho4260]

[@marielpresil9064]

True blue Bicolana here, my childhood favorites: pinangat and kandingga! Thanks for featuring my region!

[@christinegracegirado8250]

The traditional Pinangat (it actually reminded me of lasagna but in a leafy version😂) and Laing that has this drier texture..makes me hungry. Its the best I've eaten in Bicol.

[@lanceoragon1689]

Great content thank you for featuring my home province. As a Bicolano masakit sa mata yung ginamitan ng water based ang pagluto ng Laing at Kinunot it should be gata lahat, first is dapat ang gamitin is yung pangalawang piga then second is yung unang piga hanggang magmantika siya. Iba kasi lasa ng coconut cream or any preserved gata kumpara sa freshly squezzed na gata.

[@abegailguarnes277]

Same same .. tama po kayo . Mdjo na bigla din ako sa water sa laing

[@lufffyypiratekingg]

Same medyo 😢😢 dpat pure na gata

[@gemmanotariollagas6986]

Yes po ur right..

[@katarina5790]

Should've tried the dinuguan more. I think Bicol has the best version of dinuguan. It's creamy and not too sour unlike the other versions in the north.

[@featrmedia]

The one we had was great

[@kamelyoj3711]

Bikol..has the best version,of dinuguan..My favorite,dinuguan with Kadyos..😋😋unbeatable taste..ever

[@mianearias742]

[@nikki8009]

Thanks for doing this Erwan. There's not a lot of Bicolano culinary representation in Filipino restaurants in Calgary and Montreal (Canada-wide even), so it's to see what other gems we're missing.

[@stephaniemaeroxas6663]

Super love all your videos featuring bicol that’s my home place. Watching all those videos makes me wanting to go back home. Watching from canada

[@chasedowndunk3753]

We have a farm in Bicol filled with coconut trees. I go there to drink coconut water and eat coconut meat. We will bring the rest to our house for buko salad and coconut milk purposes. You can’t beat fresh coconut, especially if it’s in the coastal area.

I had no idea that other parts of the Philippines does not use coconut cream in their dinuguan. That's mind blowing to me.

It's always a good time

[@jboycaceres2871]

I'm a Bicolano and now staying in Makati, I'm from Naga City. My problem here in Makati is the price of the nyog. So expensive...we usually use 3 coconuts to cook for a single dish. We love a creamy, and oily dishes...hahaha

[@kayetchupp]

[@badpanda180]

kinunot is so underrated i swear to god.

I enjoy this new series a lot Erwan! The ube episode was also great...when I see the delicious bicol express I feel like cooking (and eating) immediately :)

[@tinarroz3335]

Thank you for featuring Bicol ❤️ as a Bicolano I truly appreciate it. To add, not all Bicolano's really knows how to perfectly cook the laing 😅 me for example, sometimes I can make a nice version of it and sometimes I don't 🤣 But it was indeed a nice food to try. Really masiramon ❤️ Hope to see you here in Albay Sir Erwan 🥰❤️

[@viajerogastronomico6335]

I love naga public market❤ number 1 in bicol. Try to cook laing with bete: bete is dried fish roe( male fish) . Also try to eat fried fish and the sawsawan is dinaylan with limon and Saling labuyo, then eat the tinula( pili pulp) dipped in either sugar or balaw or even in dinaylan. But pls don't kiss Anne after eating dinaylan. Dinaylan is like ( belacan)😂😂😂. You really need also to try tabios or sinarapan fish, gulay na santol, new look daing( oil fish daing/laygit) , gulay perkules with cow skin and the different laing with libas leaves of the ricondas.

[@mimisaysrawrr]

Erwan eating Bikolano food is making me salivate! 🤤 Balao is 🤎

That’s authentic Bicol Express right there. Lots of balao, sili, and pork is just “garnish” or sahog.

[@joycemira247]

Also Pinangat, kinunot, bicol express, Laing, dinuguan, and a lot of dishes that we can enjoy in Bicol provinces. Ang sarap po makita sa episode na ito sa FEATR na ma feature ang Bicol. Especially Naga City dahil bibihira po ang mga nag gumagawa ng vloggs about Bicol cuisines. Dito lang po namin unang nakita na mas focus kayo sa detalye ng pagluluto which s kind of facinating for us bicolanos. God bless you Sir Erwan and your team. Dios Mabalos po saindo gabos!

That “pinangat” is a lot of work! Poor little crabs 😢 but I’d love to taste that 😋😋! My Mom was from Sta Cruz, Laguna and I’m so used to eating dishes with coconut milk like dinuguan, la-en, that’s how we pronounced laing and does anybody knows “sinugno”? Inihaw na eggplant on top of coconut shell charcoal then also roast the grated coconut by mixing the charcoal to roast then take them out before taking the coconut milk. A little complicated but out of this world delicious 😋😋Thank you so much for sharing your recipes! Watching from NYC🇺🇸

Oh wow this adds knowledge again for us about coconuts. The detail is really enlightening. Now I understand a bit of the complexity and how a coconut can affect the end product for food. It really has an impact from the very start which is the quality of ingredients. Hats off for this contents for us home cooks and frustrated chefs hehehe.

[@4IamLuna]

finally someone explained that there are stages in the life of a coconut. that each stage has different use in our daily use in our dishes.
