Best Tapa in Cavite and How to Make it At Home with Erwan

[@monfegi956]

yung sasagot si Erwan in Filipino kapag Filipino siya kinausap.. that's respect ya'all! 😊👊

The beauty of Filipino cuisine is that we don't rely on heavy spices or herbs, it's all in the technique. Its easy to mess up with very few ingredients.

[@michaelgomez7174]

The fewer the ingredients, the harder it is to make.

[@paoloa.1821]

Agree! It's not about the ingredients, it's all about the technique.

[@jestonipoe]

Go to Mindanao. For a new perspective on Pinoy cuisine

[@jefreyvillar1094]

Tapa is smoked..ginagawa nyu? Hakdog?

[@user-tv4ih2kq6r]

​@@jefreyvillar1094 Originally, yes. Like Tinapa, smoked fish.

[@ayrasanmiguel9363]

My Hometown! Thank you for so much for Featuring! Proud Caviteña here 🎉❤😮

[@metatron1980]

I love erwan's videos. You can really learn a lot from undiscovered goodness in the entire country. Keep doing it Erwan.

[@aimeerhernandez]

Made me miss my lola's tapa, she sun dries the tapa and only puts salt, pepper, vinegar and garlic. 😊 It's sugar free 😄

[@fidelamonera851]

Original recipe, to preserve the meat without refrigerator

ganyan din sa amin. Very basic pero ang sarap sarap.

Best tapa paired with the best sawsawan. But most of us in Cavite adds banana ketchup in our suka whenever we eat at Hidden Tapsihan. I don't know the reason why but it tastes so much better with ketchup.

[@yayo4nasal]

We put banana ketch for everything

[@allenikkimd]

Halohalo na ketchup,suka,toyo,hot sauce sa sawsawan......rapsa talaga

[@kris11284]

Nakakatuwa naman, napapadalas ang feature ni Erwan about sa food ng mga taga Cavite. Nice! 😊 Gracias contigo!

[@neslyvr]

We always eat there when I was in highschool. I make sure to visit their other branch everytime I am in Kawit. For me, it’s the best tapsilog I’ve tried 🤤

[@abrahamgaduang5094]

Well Done Erwan! Oh my, the passion thru the years have improved your cooking technique and knowledge, just goes to show how your enthusiam and authenticity shines through...

[@kilo2823]

Great video! For those that are velveting for the first time, don’t forget to rinse you meat after the velveting process or else your meat will have a strong Alkaline taste. After rinsing, then marinate.

[@BoxerEnginePH]

I love the way you simply snatched the jar of vinigar there haha. Thank you Erwan and team for visiting my hometown and featuring our go to comfort food Hidden Tapsi.

[@hhujmu]

Thanks for visiting Cavite my hometown.

[@khai3217]

Eto isa sa nmiss ko sa pinas.. maraming tapsihan sa cavite.. sikat at da best ang hidden tapsihan

[@ndngts]

Hidden Tapsihan is so good it has multiple branches in the province… also go tagalog king, Erwan!

[@mammontustado9680]

"tagalog king"? 😂

[@anniecalilung7940]

Thank you Erwan for visiting my hometown Wakas, kawit Cavite. We used to live close to Hidden Tapsihan. Living in California now since 1978

[@nelsonlomod9601]

My aunt leonor, Lucban, Quezon,does carabeef tapa with nothing but salt but cooknit with very litrle oil and rub the meat strips around the pan on the caramelizing protein and fry it just untill you loose the redness of the blood in the carabeef. And for the dip, a real sour coconut vinegar, smashed garlic and a little salt.

[@mareegould8714]

Yeah, that's how my grandmother used to cook tapas, the traditional way.!

[@MaidoEsguerra-DelaCruz]

Here I am, binge-watching your "The Best Of..." series and enjoying every bit of it. You have your way of educating people. This is one of the vlogs that relaxes me the most, especially now that I am very pregnant and a very picky eater. 😅 There are days when I know I want to eat something but can't figure out what exactly it is. And through watching this, I get to realize what my cravings are. 😁 Later, when my husband wakes up, mag-aaya ako sa Hidden Tapsihan. 😋

[@user-si7qj2ow3y]

Best tapa is found in San Andres Market, Batangas beef, the fat especially is to die for :-) it's the traditional tapa, plain salted beef, doesn't mask the beef flavor

[@Discotechque]

I've eaten tapang usa from the native aeta's of Isabela, I still dream about it even though it's been twenty years since I've eaten it. The smoky flavor, that slight sweetness, and the umami from the meat. The taste is still vivid in my head, even two decades later. My parents bartered two quatro kantos, a kilo of sugar, two packs of cigarettes, and a pack of coffee for 5 kilos of meat. The aetas wouldn't take more stuff in exchange for the meat, I wonder why?

[@JackFrostistrolling]

Because they only take what is enough for them, and yes tapang ugsa is quite an exotic meat that not all Filipino can eat. I've tasted it quite a few times and it's on top of my list, 2nd one would be tapang kabayo.

[@bethjose2116]

Wow it must be super yummy that up to now you are still craving for it.. Sana kahit minsan matikman ko rin...Mahilig din akong magdevelop ng recipe..

[@frigidtsunami]

I was lucky to eat there, when it was a bangko n table top in front of the cook. Mang Eggie powered me through many late night chibugan. The original hidden tapsihan has grown so much.

[@beckysarao4723]

I love u Erwan- good Dad for Dahlia & good hubby for Anne.

[@owheng]

The best tapa for me is the carabeef tapa made by my grandma way back 35 years ago. Im still craving for it to this day. RIP to my grandma. It seems mothers knows the best stuff but second only to grandmas in everything...

[@MrTkway]

Can't believe I'm only discovering this channel now in 2023! Considering the fact that I love love love Philippino foods!

[@bluemarshall6180]

I use to live in cavite city and we go at the hidden Tapsi at night after a drink 🍻. It use to be small with benches. 😁

Hey Erwan. I have a recipe that I created for a cafe here in Cebu that won the "Best of Cebu" "Best Coffee Shop" award when I was their sous chef. I can't name the establishment though but I would love to see your thoughts on it.

[@lt6emmaruiz999]

This made me run to the grocery and make myself some TAPSILOG! Awesome recipe, Erwan!

[@nganibaya08]

Marca piña sa wakas na feature dn sa tapa hahaha yan ang orig na pang probinsya na brand

Immediately I knew that it was the home branch of Hidden Tapsi in Wakas in Kawit. When I lived abroad, I CRAVED their tapsilog so bad.

That's the spot! Love Hidden Tapsihan in Kawit

[@vkmanunubos2577]

Wag kayo papaloko dyan sa hidden tapsi. 2021 nagpunta kami dyan with tropang riders galing kaming swimming. 11 katao kami na gutom na gutom. Syempre naka extra rice na halos karamihan maliban sa gf ng mga tropa. Yung dapat na pang 11 serving, parang 3-5 serving lang na hinati sa 11. Porket maraming dumating at alam nilang mga dayo binigyan kami ng palaman lang sa pandesal na hapunan. Ni hindi nga namin naubos ang extra rice. Hindi dapat tinatangkilik mga ganyan lugar

[@francesberrios8250]

Rice cooked with salt is delicious. My husband is Puerto Rican and always cooks rice with salt and oil. Pinoy style rice to him is bland. I like both ways of cooking rice. My Lola always sun dried thinly cut beef for her home made tapa.

[@jaysonagapito8663]

Sa Wakas, Kawit... My hidden tapsihan dn Sa may Bacoor, 😅 Awesome vid sir erwan & Featr... 👍👍

So good!

[@kinko143]

Would be really interested for you to try different meat tendering techniques without water (love the discussion about velveting with chinese stir fry) using beef, that is sources sa Palengke. I've noticed that majority of the famous Filipino dishes do have some sort of prep time with water (pakulo, paiga, etc.) e.g. Bulalo, Nilaga, Karekare, Caldereta

[@ImmaDeville]

I made my tapa like Hidden Tapsihan, it’s like adobo and then fry. But will try Erwan’s premium and the velvet(?) one💜💜💜

[@illustrad0]

Erwan is slick with the move on that glass of suka!

[@Aceof2Hearts]

Hope you have tasted the Cagayan tapa where the beef is aged…. and the flavour intensified. The Ibanags do this at home back in the day…. Unfortunately this is not a commercial pursuit that everyone can enjoy. Even the popular Tapsilog in the 80s in Makati has not even matched this heightened flavour of the beef.

Fav Agahan ko. Together with Goto hehehehe. Pero mas prefer ko no sugar. Peppery, Garlicky and medyo salty hhehehe masarap din nalalasahan yung hint of calamansi heheh Fell in love with Tapa na gawa ng Lola ko nung Prep then poof mukha na akong Beef hahahah.

[@Georgee4gee878]

made me drool all over my keyboard. Consistently fantastic vlogs Team FEATR, kudos!

[@mln7771]

So good! savoury and well balanced with the seasoned vinegar. But watch out! Heavy on the calories and can leave you feeling weighed down. Eat in extreme moderation.

[@BabycakesTravels]

Wow I'm drooling Thanks for sharing this recipe 🙏🏻🇵🇭

[@ilovefreefood]

I’m proud of how much vinegar you add! lol now I need to try this place when I visit pinas 😂

[@KitchenConfidential]

awesome they use brisket as their choice of cut instead of using a leaner cut. Braising it then low temp frying is a nice trick to learn.

[@AMM0beatz]

hell yes! spiced vinegar and garlic

[@shirgo5700]

I remember my grandmother would sun dry the beef. And we always used calamansi only for sawsawan. I'm not sure if it's from her influence that we used calamansi because she was from Zamboanga or my dad who was from Malabon
