[@MichaelPerezHypnosis]

As someone who was raised by an Italian grandmother and who is currently living in the Philippines, let me assure you, as other commenters have said, he's using more common (if expensive for locals) ingredients that are available in most (but not all) of the 1700+ islands in the Philippines. Outside of the three main cities (Manila, Cebu, or Davao), you simply cannot get pancetta or pecorino. What makes it Filipino is that it's made with things that Filipinos throughout the country can get (that and the condensed milk for the sweet element Filipinos expect from pasta 😄). So, no, outside of the big cities, the authentic ingredients are not available to the vast majority of Filipinos.

[@marcr9410]

Then it's still not carbonara. It's cream pasta Filipino style. You can't make seafood pasta by exchange the seafood with pork and still call it seafood pasta.

[@DamienMackay]

So how does that explain why he added garlic, onion and mushrooms? and why use condensed milk and butter instead of eggs? Surely eggs are easy to get in the Philippines? He took a recipe that has 5 ingredients and turned it into something far more complicated than it needs to be.

[@waynegrant4070]

@@DamienMackay People are missing the context of the video itself. The video is made by a Filipino for Filipinos. Filipinos call any white cream pasta Carbonara. It's simply what the masses are used to. Most Filipinos don't even realize og Carbonara is made out of eggs, and most don't even know wtf Guanciale or Pecorino is. The closest cheese available to Filipinos are cheap processed Eden cheese. However, Filipinos are aware of garlic, onions, mushrooms, evaporated milk, cream, and butter as food we usually use in plenty other dishes. It sounds misleading but to the average Filipino, it's exactly what they want in a quick google search.

"The black pepper is the best part" Vincenzo almost killed me with that one!

[@jackmitchculberson]

I'm Filipino but I made real (kinda) carbonara a few times myself. Did not use pecorino cheese (can't consume sheep's milk, lamb, mutton), but I used Parmigiano-Reggiano instead. I couldn't find guanciale, but I used pancetta. However, I NEVER use cream for my carbonara. And I have to say, an actual carbonara is more simple than using bacon, cream, mushrooms, whatever it is. I'd say for those who are vegetarian, you could substitute the guanciale/pancetta with mushrooms or artichokes if you wanted a mushroom/artichoke carbonara.

[@aracelymoran2504]

Call it "Cream Pasta a lo Filipino". Now it has its own identity and is its own thing.

[@exidol4211]

I instantly regretted it. That's how we make carbonara so I had to make a change and incorporated the original carbonara recipe on my own dish, no ham, no bacon, but the only twist is I used "Lechong Kawali" aka crispy fried pork belly (but a bit thinner so its on the crunchier side as well) and the reason why is because its hard to find pancheta here in the Philippines, lastly is ofcourse NO CREAM, ONLY EGGYOLK AND CHEESE (so sorry if I had to use fake cheese cause like the pancheta, pecorino or real parmigiano is not actually available everywhere and its really expensive so I tend to go on the budget friendly side)

[@ciprithebest]

Maybe use a local authentic cheese, better than any fake ones.

[@YanaCat29]

shopee has it

[@AzaiKang]

I am from the Philippines and this is how filipinos make their Carbonara for decades with same ingredients, it's 100% different from Italian Carbonara. It's Filipino Carbonara because we use cream like all purpose, cheddar or quick melt cheeses since Parmigiano Reggiano costs 4x than these alternatives in the super markets. Love your videos Chef Vincenzo no hard feelings, I understand culture difference 🤣🤣 Also, that canned mushroom was the show's sponsor, we have the right to be angry 🤣🤣

[@joshyycute5823]

Hi there! That guy is a chef. His name is Chef Tatung. His style of cooking is, making dishes simple and easy to understand (that's why his channel name is Simpol). I think he has an idea of how Italian carbonara works, it's just that he wants it to one, fit the dish to the Filipino taste (we like mushrooms and cream and some sweetness), and two, to make it cheaper and still flavorful (Italian ingredients are costly in the Philippines).

[@Erik_Swiger]

It's kind of mind-blowing that years ago, I had a fantastic carbonara, and all that I knew at that point, was that I loved carbonara and that I needed to make it for myself. Little did I know that this would be an arena of controversy for years after. I just want carbonara, and I had no idea that there were all these "variations" out there. I'm glad I found Vincenzo and the recipe for genuine carbonara.

[@urekmazino3943]

Just to shed some light to Vicenzo , imported cheese are very expensive on other parts of the world e.g. Philippines thus making an authentic one could worth couple of meals. The ingredients used on the videos were chosen based on the common ingredients used in Filipino Carbonara. Love both authentic and filipino carbonara.

[@alec187]

Please understand that anything pasta is beyond any traditional Filipino recipe, it’s more than likely something that is passed down by the Americans when the Philippines was a US territory. More than likely, it is derivative of some American recipe, not directly connected to any Italian recipe, and Filipinos just called it whatever the Americans called it. Any pasta dish in the Philippines is considered novelty, not reflective of traditional Filipino cuisine. Also, most traditional Italian ingredients like cheeses and cured meats are largely unavailable to most Filipinos.

[@spenym14]

You’ve given me so much knowledge on Carbonara and Italian Cuisine. This helped me a lot when I went to Italy summer of 2022z I had an amazing time trying pastas in northern Italy and tried my first true carbonara in Modena. Best pasta I’ve ever had.

If Vincenzo and Italians doesn't approve that carbona and don't want to call it carbonara, they have justification. It's their dish, they can disapprove if they feel something wrong. Just like us, Filipinos, who disapproves a foreign who makes our local dish the different way. If it's not a carbonara, then it's a different dish and we can call it anything we want.

[@user-kk7fb3xp2x]

Hi... Sir Vincenzo. I'm a new subscriber, I'm filipina and love watching your reaction videos, very honest and straight forward,. Filipinos are good in cooking always explore, experiment and trying recipes on our own ways,. As long as it taste good, but you're right, i learned something now that a real carbonara has less ingredients and more simple than ours. Sometimes too much is not good also... Looking forward to watch more of your videos to educate myself....

[@lakbikenilauro]

please don't be offended and frustrated on how filipinos cook pastas... filipino cooking is just plain and simple... we just use whatever ingredients we have... most of us don't use techniques in cooking...

[@vincenzosplate]

I appreciate your honesty about the straightforward and practical approach to Filipino pasta cooking. Cooking is a beautiful and diverse art, and each culture brings its own flavors and traditions to the table. I'm rooting for our filipino friends, they should continue learning the proper ways in cooking dishes across the world.

[@koonene]

Oh please. You can't blame an Italian for being frustrated about a carbonara video without actually having any hint of carbonara in it and still call it carbonara. Even other Filipinos are offended when certain recipes are changed WITHIN the Philippines and they call it the same name. *Ehem Sisig*, *ehem Bicol Express* (which DID NOT even originate in Bicol)

[@dumbass626]

I'm Filipino, and I've come across video recipes like this. This one guy called it creamy ham, bacon, and mushroom pasta, because he knows it is not the correct way to make carbonara. Then, these commenters keep saying "O sa madaling salita, carbonara" (Or in other words, carbonara), and they were all told that it does not count as carbonara. I'm glad that cook was there to correct such comments. 7:42 and 8:00 I would say it's the sweet ham, Filipinos tend to like sweet food. I've seen people put sugar in adobo, sinigang, tapa, etc., and the worst so far (my gf told me about this), condensed milk in spaghetti. Along with that, I'd say it's the colonial mentality that makes it Filipino lol (fellow Filipinos, don't hate me), the desire to try things that aren't Filipino, because of the thought that things from outside the country ("imported") are fancy. You already know about cream in "carbonara", because it's not only Filipinos that do that, but then for mushrooms, they aren't that fancy, but we've seen it in all sorts of non-Filipino dishes, like gravy, burger steaks, spaghetti, etc., so it somewhat makes sense to put it in "carbonara"

[@kantonerd6305]

I'm surprised you weren't crying, I almost was......

[@seamustheplatypus]

Carbonara has got to be the most abused Italian recipe. Anything and everything gets called "carbonara". I'm waiting for the carbonara with cabbage, nutella and blue cheese, at this stage it wouldn't even surprise me. 🤣

[@vincenzosplate]

I completely understand your sentiment, my friend! Carbonara, like many classic recipes, is often subject to creative interpretations, some more traditional than others. While innovation in the kitchen can be fun, there's a fine line between creativity and culinary chaos. Let's hope the essence of this beloved Italian dish is preserved, and we don't see a "cabbage, Nutella, and blue cheese Carbonara" anytime soon! 🍝😅🇮🇹

[@seamustheplatypus]

@vincenzosplate The funny thing is I used to be angry at the French carbonara, with lardons and cream. But now, seeing the crazy ones all around the world, I'm thinking it's not that bad after all. 🤣

[@bobbyrains7296]

Cabbage, Nutella, and blue cheese carbonara you say……🤔 can’t wait to try it

[@ilovemangobingsu]

Oh sorry Vincenzo that you get to see this. I agree with you that this dish should not be called carbonara. Most of us Filipinos are not really aware what an authentic carbonara is. This pasta dish with cream sauce was introduced to us as carbonara by the Americans so all this time we thought that this is the proper carbonara. Pancetta and parmigiano cheese only became available here recently but they are still not that common to find in our local grocery stores. So for a common homecook, we resort to make use the local ingredients that are available to us. But like what you said, it is not carbonara. What we thought as carbonara is actually a spaghetti dish with cream sauce.

[@aris1956]

As an Italian like Vincenzo, I have to say…… the time has come for people in the Philippines to realize that this is not a “carbonara” and so they should decide to put another name on it. They should call this dish whatever they want, but please don't call it carbonara ! I'm sorry but to call this dish carbonara is almost an insult to this famous specialty of the Roman cuisine. PS: Of course, in the Philippines someone who has never seen or never eaten an authentic carbonara, may think that this is a carbonara.

I understand the frustration.. 😅 It's their dish, they know the right way.. It's like when an Italian or an American chef trying to cook adobo then put cheese or red wine, Filipinos would also react that it's not the right way to cook adobo. but on a side note, I've never seen a pancetta anywhere in supermarket or local markets here in the Philippines. It's not common and not readily available here in the Philippines. the nearest would still be the bacon.

[@S.R.Crnt.]

0:59 you'd wish that were mozzarella. But I'm pretty sure that's one of the Filipino brand cheeses. My experience with mozzarella, pecorino or Parmigiano here in the Philippines is that it's ridiculously hard to find, and if you manage to find it it's going to be so expensive that it makes you cry. The last 2 years have been a struggle. I can't remember the last time I ate proper pasta with proper ingredients. Everything here is sweet. I've had to result to using cream a couple of times. But I don't think I want to do that again because it ended up as sweet as birthday cake.

[@maxd5007]

Hmm I understand if they put the aromatics if they have to use bacon, guanciale has so many wonderful flavours in the seasoning which makes garlic irrelevant. If you do not have guanciale, you need additional flavour to make it better. All bacon has is salt.

[@spikeg.jr.4893]

sadly most countries outside of Italy think carbonara is pasta with bacon and cream. Sometimes some like adding extra ingredients like mushrooms or peas etc because they think it will make the dish better.

[@mr.m7002]

We love to imitate. From Hollywood films to Carbonara. Also we used a lot of cheaper options as compared to Italy maybe because of purchasing power is much lower as compared to Italians.

This is kind of where Italian food started going back to Roman pulse.

[@roic9489]

We use a lot of unorthodox ingredients when making Spaghetti/"Carbonara" it's because a lot of people here just want to fantasize about eating foreign food but they don't have access to those ingredients so we use substitutes also because we can't afford them. We like to use the cheapest ingredients possible and at least try to make them taste good. Also we don't eat Spaghetti or "Carbonara" on a daily basis which is also why unhealthier ingredients are used. Also Filipino pasta dishes are American inspired not Italian and we prefer soggy pasta.

I think people should never try cooking and calling whatever concoction they are creating as "something Italian" unless they actually set foot in Italy!🤣🤣🤣

[@joannasunday]

Foodfather! You make dishes that i can't refuse!❤

[@cherilynnfisher5658]

Vincenzo, I worry about your blood pressure when I see your hilarious reactions to people butchering the recipe for "classic carbonara". I am 100% positive that if you saw my recipe, you would have a massive heart attack! Nobody on this planet screws up "carbonara" quite like I do! Please, please forgive me! My problem is that I do not speak one word of Italian! I know full well that my blasphemous recipe is NOT "classic carbonara"! It is a Frankenstein monster of a pasta dish that was "inspired by carbonara". I actually did not know what else to call it! Out of love and respect for you, I shall now forever call it; "CARBONALOHA". I hope you are sitting down! Please brace yourself! "CARBONALOHA" is truly your worst nightmare to ever be called "carbonara"! CARBONALOHA: *Linguini *Small chunks of rendered Spam *Caramelized onions *Small pieces of pineapple *A creamy cheese sauce made with a combination of Pecorino, Philadelphia cream cheese, and a little starchy pasta water. Please unclench your fists and breathe. . . Please keep these points in mind; I really like the combo of salty and sweet. Spam and pineapple is an excellent team for this! Caramelized onions rock! Ham(Spam) and cheeses together are excellent! All married into a creamy pasta base. . ."YUM"! I promise you I will never ever again call this unholy alliance "Carbonara"! THANK YOU for teaching us all what REAL Carbonara is!🤔🥰

13:01 its actually eden cheese (a kinda soft milky cheddar cheese)

I like how the sweet ham distracts him from whats happening with the pasta at the same moment.

[@CidVeldoril]

My german sense of humour almost compells me to make a video called "The Evil Plate" and cook the worst Carbonara I possibly could. Sadly, I hate foodwaste and would not do that to good pasta.

[@makorny007]

He called it Filipino carbonara for a reason. Are the Italians angry because he called it carbonara? Maybe he should call it Filipino white sauce pasta. Happy now, Vincenzo? Hahaha

What a hardcore thriller! 😵

🤣🤣🤣

I totally understand your frustration. I’m Filipino and also cringe whenever I see videos or see carbonara on the menu that has any form of cream. Yes, call it something else - not Carbonara 🤌🏻

[@wadenobisemartuccianimatio8366]

Filipino version carbonara? I never heard of that dish this is crazy 😮

[@vincenzosplate]

That actually isn’t a dish! This guy just created a really bad dish and called Carbonara…

[@acel32rcb]

@@vincenzosplate You didn't read my other reply. So I'm replying to you again. Chef Tatung (the guy in this video), didn't just invent this recipe and called it "carbonara". This is really how most Filipinos cook "carbonara". Hence, in the video, it is called "Filipino Carbonara". Now, how did Filipinos come up with this? There are two factors. One, most Filipinos aren't really aware of the real Italian recipe. We don't really have a historical connection with Italy. Most of the pasta, even pizza, that we have here, we got the idea from Americans, hence the use of cream. If you ask a typical Filipino what carbonara is, they will show you this. They completely have no idea that carbonara should have eggs and no milk or cream. Second, and more important factor is the ingredients. Authentic ingredients such as guanciale and pecorino, heck even real parmigiano and pancetta are expensive and hard to access here. I know some people in the comments say that it is available. Yes, you can buy it but in higher-end stores in the city. In provinces and normal grocery stores? No. As I said in my other comment, the cost of a few grams of guanciale or pecorino is higher than an ordinary person's daily wage here. You can't spend 1000 pesos on one meal if you only earn 500 a day. Hope that gives you a perspective. Filipino carbonara and spaghetti were invented because people here actually want to eat your food but can't afford the real deal. So a new recipe is created with ingredients that are affordable and accessible here. It is not out of disrespect to the cuisine, but lack of knowledge and resources. It is simply an adaptation. I hope you read this so you can understand the situation more and not pin this down to Chef Tatung only or think that Filipinos just want to bastardize Italian food.

@@acel32rcb If I were you, I'd hide from Vincenzo and pray to the Lord! No cream on Carbonara, Mamma mia!

When I saw the ingredients in the chopping board I thought that he was making fried rice.

I didn't know you are from Pescara, I have been this year there and was amazing and the people extremely friendly. I proposed to my girl there it just felt right :X
