Have You Heard of These Filipino Sugar Glazed Cookies? (Gurgurya From Malolos, Bulacan)

[@featrmedia]

What are your town's own heirloom recipes? Let us know here ⬇

[@kimsarmiento2775]

I was born in Rome, Italy and my parents are from Bansud Oriental Mindoro. My mom used to cook me “pilipit” during my elementary school. It’s a very simple filipino dessert and I don’t actually know the real name and the origin of the recipe. I can say that’s delicious 🤤

There are a lot of local recipes from my town tuguegarao that are slowly fading into oblivion...one that I could no longer find is ojelas...im 37 and the last time I had a taste of it was 30 years ago....hope by and through your features you can do a Coco of these almost extinct recipes

FEATR is criminally underrated! a lot of people, most especially our kababayans, should appreciate these kinds of content as it highlights our food, culture and tradition where as even us isn’t knowledgable about. Good job erwan and co!

[@LuisaBrimble]

I 100% agree! I truly appreciate these kinds of stories. So amazing.

[@Millejoy07]

Thumbs up Featr for featuring this kind of historic recipeee!!! I’m from Bulacan and I really appreciate this movement sharing the culture na mostly nakakalimutan n ng iba. Godbless this channel! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Wil_Dasovich]

pasalubong papa E. I need to try this in my life

[@alphakashiy2kchae]

omg wil dasovich

[@MikeyMendoza-i3s]

Proud Maloleño here, I'm a year late but thank you for featuring our small, yet historically significant city. It's so heartwarming to see the places that I walk around in everyday featured in a spectacular video that promotes our heritage through food.

[@Kahayuman]

hats off to mam riza for making sure that Malolos culinary history stays in our realm!

[@heartfeltangel3]

My family is from San Miguel, Bulacan. Known for its pastillas, made with pure carabaos milk. My late Lola Luz Ocampo, was known for her intricate pastillas wrappers and candied limes. Her legacy is now being continued on by my Aunt Naty. I’ve never met Ate Rheeza, but I’ve seen pictures of her with my late Lola Luz Ocampo.

[@joshwindswept5694]

Intricate pastillas wrappers - this is Pabalat right?

[@heartfeltangel3]

@@joshwindswept5694 yes, it is.

[@joshwindswept5694]

@@heartfeltangel3 Awesome! I remember we did that as a project in my first year of college. It was really difficult to do so!

[@issabacsa]

My relatives from Bangued, Abra made "goloria" (which she mentioned) when I was young. I've tasted it and it looks like this "gurgurya" you featured, but instead of coating with just sugar, they added egg whites.

[@DJTruntz]

Thank you for this! I learned something new! I was afraid that this series wouldn't continue but I'm glad it did 😭

[@edithaadolfo5478]

ang ganda at malinaw ang pagpaliwanag o paglalarawan.

[@vearl15]

Love to see more of these. Galing! You can do more. We have a loooot of heirloom recipes in the Philippines

[@whydoweneedousehandlesihateit]

Never ko pa narinig tong pagkain na to pero gusto ko i try at gawin din on my own 🥺. Ang galing and especially ung history behind it, ang cool pakinggan kasi ang simple ng ingredients pero very unique at the same time tapos ung process ng pagluto parang ngayon pako naka rinig ng pinoy cookies na may parang "glaze" tapos ung shape nya kakaiba. Then from what I can understand, ung dahon at rind ng sinasabi nya na dayap ang source of flavoring nya. Ngayon ko palang din narinig yung dayap na yan, napa google ako. Alam ko may gumagamit ng dahon ng calamansi para flavoring ng puto pero ung ganito never ko inisip na pwede pala. Very curious tuloy ako sa lasa kasi from the looks of it masarap sya. More content like this po!

[@grettzmendoza951]

Thank you so much for sharing. My family from Gapan City, Nueva Ecija is used to be make this Gurgurya. One of our favorites snacking of my family.

[@misyeluh]

Grew up in Pampanga and had these all the time as snacks! Then we moved to Guam and they also have a local snack called Guyuria and it is almost identical to this recipe.

[@ellerayco6984]

I grew up eating this! I'm from Bulan, Sorsogon but never knew this started from Bulacan. My amazing chef of an uncle, may he rest in peace, would cook Gurgurya for me in my early childhood. I can still taste it to this day. Sadly, I don't have his exact recipe but I recreate this for my mom and children now. Continuing the legacy of my beloved uncle! 🙏🏻❤️ Thank you, Erwan and Featr team for featuring this with a recipe, too. God speed! I adore your videos immensely!

[@d1shaidiva]

Interesting! Guam has something similar. Theirs is called guyuria pronounced gud-zu-ria. But they use fresh coconut milk instead of carabao milk. Maybe influenced by the Spaniards. The Chamorros also use the back of the fork to form the dough as well as fry it and use sugar to coat it.

[@Carlo-nc9qw]

Many Filipinos migrated to Guam during the Spanish period (and brought many influences. I think some of guam's traditional clothing are also influenced by Filipinos)

[@lorenzothesecond]

Taga malolos ako pero ngayon ko lang nalaman to hehe good job guys! 👌

[@cabesodo]

hindi pa ako naka tikim nito pero ang sarap tignan, at ang ganda pakinggan ang tagalog na salita- shout out from Norway

[@AngryKittens]

I spent the entire video admiring the beautifully preserved ancestral house in the background more than listening to the recipe. LOL

[@antonaysa]

Thank you ate Rheeza for this, we miss you. RIP ate Rheeza. ❤️❤️❤️

[@fayolympia5855]

What a loss. 😢 Thank you, Rheeza. May you rest in peace.

[@isabelitamastrili5566]

Thank you for this! My lola used to make it so good, sadly was not one of those who learned it. Will try your recipe

[@kaninproject4078]

Amazing story! Can't wait for more!

[@shivasarchive]

Thanks for this, FEATR! Will try out the recipe over the weekend 🤩🤍

[@denzilkb]

Nice to see you again, Ate Rheeza! Parang mas bumagay na slimmer ka ngayon. ❤️❤️❤️

[@flagellum79]

In Singapore and Malaysia, we Malays have a similar biscuit called Kuih Siput or Snail Shell Cookies, but it is savoury and spiced version.

[@fabcakemama]

My mom used to do this for merienda when we were kids! I've been wanting to try making them but sadly we lost Mama's recipes years ago.

[@divinabautista940]

Bat ang onti ng na nunuod nito pero pag sa iba ang dami pero inuulit ulit lang naman yung kwento na na ivlog na rin naman eto may matutunan ka at pwedi ring gawing business at i upgrade.

[@rhythm4742]

aaaa this is so beautiful!! thank you, FEATR!

[@12gauri21]

This reminds me of the Goan dish 'kulkuls'. Goa is in India and used to be a spanish colony. Maybe the reason for the similarity.

[@rose-tk6cw]

thank you Chef and lovely team❤

[@leesohrabi]

First class channel and with sense..,thanks Erwan

[@revieweretcetera6667]

ive tried this once and very rare ko na siya makita sa Malolos

[@laseremata713]

Maraming2 salamat po sa recipe gurgiya

[@mvincepinto]

Hey, my family hails from a former Portuguese colony in India. We have a similar thing, we call them kidiyo (literally means "worms" in Konkani, given the appearance of these cookies) and also kulkul. May be it's a Iberian thing that's been adopted and bastardized in the colonies...

[@raavila2245]

Kulkul does sound like gurgurya. That's very interesting!

[@katsan9155]

Thats my mindset! In my thesis papers aknowledgement I stated that my thesis is far from perfect. It's up to the next ones to complete it.

[@Carolf1213]

[@regybanez5743]

I love sugar glazed cookies looks delicious!😋❤

[@featrmedia]

So good!

[@kalixlim7505]

I would definitely try to cook it.

[@cutesimplechristy]

we call this "guyuria" pronounced as guzuria in chamorro from saipan and guam!

[@featrmedia]

Oh wow, that sounds so similar!

[@cutesimplechristy]

@@featrmedia Indeed! We have adapted so many filipino food in saipan, so I'm not sure where it originated from. Either way, we love this delicacy. Shout out to all the OFWs in saipan!

[@maailieca]

I just recently found out that kelaguen is copied from kelawin also a shredded chicken lemon dish from the Philippines. Crazy all the influences

[@aprilequerubin6381]

I remember that I always have that in my childhood days…. Sa amin sa ilocos may parang fillings pa na sweetened shave coconut meat…

[@ginapatalud1205]

I'm a Malolenyo but this is the first time I'm hearing Gurgurya. Thanks Featr for sharing this! I must taste this! Oh and that old Enriquez's house... I've been there a few time during high school (vid shoot for El Fili short movie).

putting sub titles on Tagalog? and 99.9 percent of your videos speak english? why are you so ashamed of your own language

[@cnanden]

It’s not shame, it’s called making it possible for non-Filipinos to know our food. Saka kung nagtatagalog ka siguro naman naririnig mo na yung subject matter expert ay nagtatagalog.
