Filipino Food Rolls into Tampa Bay

[@electricwassabi]

Kababayans gotta chill. Its her recipe be proud shes sharing our cuisine.

[@kuwa333]

Yeah, Filipino cuisine adapts to the available and alternative resources.

[@lemnikim7388]

Nice to know that Filipino foods are becoming more popular in the US.

[@feg466]

As a Filipino myself halo-halo to me really has 2 meaning. 1st. Is mix-mix means a mixture of varieties of jellys, tapiocas, banana, sweet potato, shaved ice, ice cream, sweet beans, nuts etc. 2nd. Stir-stir meaning stirring in a cicrular motion and pulling up other ingridients from the bottom. Then follow thru with a circular motion again.

[@rdu239]

About time, seeing a kababayan speaking in Filipino English accent. Heh, I love it that she is self aware of the on going debate within the Filipinos if sugar must be used in adobo

[@d.l.c7456]

Sinigang - Austronesian origin Lumpia - Southern Chinese origin Adobo - Austronesian (vinegar) & Chinese (soy sauce) Caldereta - Spanish influenced

[@jayr122001]

we need more filipino restaurants in the US

[@marcjordan9178]

You can hire me😊👍🏻

[@TheSinZinDetta]

OMG!!! ate at that food truck a few months ago on the way back to Tampa. She is so nice! need to visit again.

[@curiousquietboy7]

It's cool that she explains the background behind the fusion of foods and history behind the filipino food. I learned pinoy food from my mother and my grandma aka lola so it's nice to learn different recipes.

[@octavia7408]

But it's weird that she mentions it's a fusion of Chinese and Spanish when it is not, there are influences but majority of our dishes is very very local using local spices grown locally. The Spanish just managed to name them but they are as local as local can get.

[@curiousquietboy7]

@@octavia7408 She's referring to the past and how it influences modern dishes. It can be as local as you want it to be but you can't ignore history. I'm born in the Philippines so I grew up with my mother and lola's cooking.

[@curiousquietboy7]

@@octavia7408 Remember that in Philippines history from 1565 to 1898 before modern time Filipino food the Spanish rules the country for 300 years. The Chinese also went to the Philippines by ship before the Spanish occupation. The dishes evolved over the course of several centuries to the foods that we today. It doesn't discredit or take away from our local dishes. In fact it enhances it because the fusion and uniqueness gives Filipino food our own unique style. Of course newer dishes are always being created, mixed and added today. If we are to look a hundred or more years into the future we can't really tell if our dishes will stay the same and the youth will preserve the current food and history of the country.

[@octavia7408]

@@curiousquietboy7 She just mentioned it's a fusion of Chinese and Spanish which is a huge misinformation and totally discredit our pre-hispanic ancestors. I am from the Philippines, born and raised here, lived all over from South to North, tried dishes from all over, can differentiate the differences in terms of locally grown ingredients. I am so tired of people saying our dishes are Chinese inspired or Spanish inspired, it's a huge sign of our colonial mentality, yes they influenced us, regions will always influence other regions, colonialism will always have an influence but for the Spaniards, mostly they just named our dishes, but the core of them has always been locally prepared and made with locally grown ingredients.

[@curiousquietboy7]

@@octavia7408 Well you sound like you're some kind of chef but sound like you're trying to prove something to me. Why not make videos or content rather than trying lecture. Besides a lot of imports have been brought over from overseas. I'm someone who have known three generations of cooking from my grandmother, aunt and mother. Who are you to discredit my knoweldge and history about Philppine food. Again I said that just because it's influenced by that it doesn't take away from Filipino culture. Even now they're embracing Korean food in Philippines or are you gonna deny that too! You're opinion is based on your experiences and so is mine. But that won't take away from what I just said. We can disagree to agree or agree disagree regardless. My tastebuds can tell if something is authentic FIlipino dishes or not. Go learn some history first before getting back at me.

Filipinos: WE HAVE BEEN SUMMONED! **sending trivia about the Philippines**

[@d.l.c7456]

She forgot to mention the Indigenous Austronesians - Sinigang. As if it was only the Spaniards & the Chinese (very influential & heavily contributed) who shaped the Filipino cuisine. She's even regionalistic despite being in the USA already.

[@octavia7408]

Exactly! I'm glad someone else pointed that out, it's a very heavy colonialist mindset. Adobo is very local and predates Spanish occupation, they just named it but the indigenous population was already cooking it because of the abundance of coconut vinegar and salt.

[@vntconcept]

nice to see this. im your new subscr

[@marcjordan9178]

There are many variations of Adobo,Sinigang and Lumpia here in the philippines...and its all tasty and addicting...i do have a lot.of adobo and sinigang and lumpia variations even im a turkish/mediterrean chef😂

why you always say culinary capital is pampanga?all region and place in the Philippines are culinary capital. manila is also one so stop saying pampanga is the culinary capital ok

[@josemiloatis3714]

yes correct in the visayas we call it "" HUMBA"" another version of adobo ...The ingredients is different...

[@gogoal3004]

@@josemiloatis3714 yes masmasarap ang adobo ng visayas

[@victorsilvestrecoria5464]

All i can say all region cooks good and have their own version of fipino dishes I'm not dishing capampangan dish but don't brag that pampanga is the culinary capital of the ph ok all region are the best foods

[@Sayonara22000]

Its for tourism and advertising. Pampanga dont have seashore to fish. To cook any seafoods. Seafoods has alot more to cook from.

[@josephlin4431]

.pampangga is SH** dog food...visayas and mindanao are way way best food..

[@RVboyjunior]

Filipino cuisine does not owe its beginnings to China and Spain. We had our own way of preparing, cooking, and preserving food. Trading with the Chinese and being colonized by Spain simply made it richer. Research your own history Pinoys!

[@jackstone2482]

To be honest I don't have any idea why Pampanga claimed they are the culinary capital of the Philippines. I don't even find their food appealing nor that tasty. For me if I want to eat something delicious and comforting I'll be choosing cebuano dishes and if I plan on venturing to something unique, tasty and more complexity I'll go for Mindanao as a whole.

[@jojodavid7085]

Ako im manileno I cook ordinary dishes but I'm making it the best like monggo a Women fell in love with me just by eating my monggo she said so yummy what's in it

Pangpanga is not the cooking capital of the Philippines. I guess you forgot all the other cities, how about Cebu?

Cut down on sugar please. Sugar, sugar, Pharma loves your $$$$$$

[@honeybadger8413]

Pampanga is not the only capital of culinary, it is the one of the capitals of the culinary. FYI Before Magellan have been to what they called Philippines, there were so many other people who first discover my mother land. Spaniards were just showing off that their men first discovered to what they called Philippines named from King Philip who died from syphilis! It is not an honorable name of a country, it should be Maharlika bec. before the conqueror came in my mother land there were already Maharlikans here who ruled this land! It should be Maharlika not Philippines! Spain before just butt- in my mother land they were so imperious at the same time they were so manipulating!

[@andresigharas8168]

To:HoneyBadger, let us not be so nationalist be fair in topic.It is true we have our own pre tribal cuisine in pre hispanic era. Our adobo cuisine is an example due to our archiipilagic county our country man then invented/concocted ADOBO or ADOBAR: in soanish word.When they found out that meat then is being mixed and marinated by venigar, a preservative brfiore cooking.Since our ancestor then is a seafaring people it nourishh them by going island to island. of the pacific. Anthropologist analize now through language similarity that the people then migrate from present day Indonisia to as far closed as Australia thus western country called it now AUSTRONISIAN.

[@andresigharas8168]

To:HONEYBADGER.Again If I become ethnicist or so nationalist.Don't you know adobar is the same with paksiw or hinononan in VISAYAS. Some other cuisine with preservative is the Batanguenos Fish viand SINAING that using acidic kalamias as preservatives.
