Mahal and overrated.. well atleast for a Pinoy like me. But if I want to have a date I'm sure Hapag is one of that place for a dinner date with your special one who likes Pinoy food.

Erwan has a wider knowledge of Filipino food than most of us. He can talk lots of authentic local dish and many ingredients just like the many islands the Philippines is made of.

[@sympathypains]

Because he's rich. He's got the time and money to explore. I wish I was rich like that.

[@ian7375]

Erwan is literally lecturing. Love how he speaks very substantial, really makes you want to listen to him. Same to Jessica. I love everything abt this vlog. YOU REALLY DID A VERY GOOD JOB JESSICA! proud of you❤❤❤❤

[@juantamad229]

he is so curious that he became more knowledgeable to the filipino cuisine,its origin and cultural significance.. erwan does not just feature filipino dishes..he showcases history and culture

[@aejoymamotosfermin2497]

Ang saya na nakikita si Jessica nakikipag collab sa mga filipino youtuber/celeb/artist. Amazing filipino food content Jessica. I love it.

[@TiPanBu]

naadik kana oi... pinoy baiter yan.. kakapanood mo yan ng kpop eh.. utuin ka lang ng isang koreana maniniwala ka agad..

[@lasvegasnevada7514]

I’ve talked about this to my fellow Filipino friend that something we both agreed. That why Filipino food didn’t make up globally because it has authenticity and quality. The main drawback is the native ingredients and freshness that has to be from the Philippines. Our ingredients has genetic component coupled with the unique agro-climatic condition that help bring about its superior fruit and vegetable quality.

[@aejoymamotosfermin2497]

Jessica and kuya erwan, best collab!. Ganda ng convo nyo about foods. Sana next time cooking vlog naman.😊

[@yelyl136]

I'm sure Jessica is super KILIG while doing this content 😊 She has mentioned on some of her earlier vlogs how Erwan is one of her favorite content creator.

[@udsmusic_official]

The way Jessica's eyes *EXPANDED* as she recognized the taste of *INASAL*

[@gailborillo1124]

Gosh I’m Filipino but I still need to learn more about our cuisines. This is really educational. Erwan is really good in explaining and describing the different diversity of our food. I’m definitely going to visit that resto for the experience when I go back home. Thanks Jessica and Erwan 👍

[@philph3592]

Erwan was correct. We need to accept that the average (usual) filipino food will not live up to the international palate. We need to identify what makes us unique and market it as something fun and world class. Let us support young and talented chefs!

[@ken8342]

Exactly, the problem is people love to gatekeep the standard food that we used to eat, if someone put ginger to an adobo, one for sure in the comment will pick it out saying adobo don't have ginger.

[@cybermoja]

@@ken8342 Presentation not flavor, we can change presentation and not flavor. That's what I've picked up from the video.

[@crimestalker4873]

It should served the food properly to make it internationally as he said. Hapag is doing it, they should have this kind of restaurant in other countries.

[@jev2867]

Nah. It's been tried many times and failed. They go in the direction of trend of which we all know is not sustainable. Palitan ang itsura pero wag palitan ang lasa. Sa ibang bansa kahit ano pa gawin sa pagkain authenticity pa rin ang habol ng mga tao. People flock to trendy restaurants but in the end true foodies will clamor for authenticity. Kadalasan kasi mga tao pakiramdam nila alam ang tamang pagluto ng pagkaing Pilipino when in reality mali luto nila, tulad ng pakbet ng Norte. Stop reinventing Pilipino dishes, lumalayo na sa original recipes.

[@aircorgihui43]

[@dee9464]

erwan and jessica tandem is so cool, they have both represented well, each and everyone's culture in their respective blogs. i admire jessica on her skills, so natural, erwan gravitated to her down to earth demeanor. more collabs in the future please :D

[@titodean8072]

Is it just me or this is by far the most “organized” vlog of Jessica? Like walang nangyari technical difficulties etc hahaha. Happy to see Jessica slowly getting collab with other KZbinrs :)

[@ninoangelogonzales5552]

Okay.. can we all agree how this lady who made a series about a mural project on a public wall is now living the time of her life? Like, she's doing what she wants.. and now being recognized by other bigger personalities/channels.. she's a definition of never giving up is worth it.. not saying this is her dream, but I'm sure this is what she enjoys doing for now.. she's always cute and feels genuine in all her videos.. the best thing is she's not acting stupid or childish in all her content.. in fact, her's is more like informative most of the time.. and back then, she's still able to reply and react on almost every comment.. So i guess, that's the downside if your channel grow..your interaction to your audience will be limited..but atleast your content doesn't disappoints..so i think it counts as a form of appreciation to your followers/supporters/ subscribers and audience.. You're still far ahead.. but you've come really far from where you started.. road to 1M is not that far away anymore..☺️

[@ivylenzmelody5061]

You know you've levelled up as a vlogger if you have a collab with vloggers like Erwan. This is an achievement for you, Jessica.

[@alvinverga1140]

Erwan and Jess are like two cool college professors discussing a topic they've been researching.. serious, focused, knowledgeable and, more importantly, having fun while doing it.

[@iskabaker]

HAPAG should definitely venture out of the country & to showcase what the Filipino food has to offer. One of the best presentation I have seen so far. This makes me want to book a flight to MNL just to eat in Hapag with my loved ones! 😍 Jessica representing the Chicken Inasal & Erwan loving the Batuan, my Negrosanon heart is pumping 💘 When Erwan visited Bacolod, he mentioned that he will definitely return to BCD just for the Cansi 🍲

[@suhotv6894]

Salute to Erwan for embracing Filipino cuisine his passion for Filipino food is obvious. He is really promoting local cuisine. Thank you Jessica for this awesome collab!

[@realkristinefaye]

I really love how well you can pull off different kinds of conversations with different kinds of people, Jessica. It shows how passionate you are in every thing that you do. Hoping for more collab vids with content creators like Erwan/FEATR! 😁❤️ Would love to try dining in Hapag MNL in this lifetime. 😋👍

[@rizcruz4421]

Yes I agree. . .

[@Silentscreamer2009]

I love the variety and how versatile the concepts of Jessica's vlogs are. Whether it's about culture, daily life, food, or traveling, it gives you the tendency to binge-watch her videos.

[@rashdee447]

You should collab more with Filipino content creators. I was smiling from the start and to the end of the video. You are doing a great job, Jessica!

[@gabsl1552]

They should collab more!!!! This is getting more interesting to hear the food culture! Please invite Anne Curtis! She loves Korean food so much!!!

[@wisxxx1936]

wow. i didn't know Filipino foods can be served as fancy as that. if only a lot of restaurants are established in a way that they present the Filipino foods with authenticity, it could have been global as well. i wish i could visit that restaurant someday.

[@bloom.7619]

Erwan’s right. According to one of our course readings during college (I’m not 100% sure if it’s by Nick Joaquin or by Cesar Adib Majul), Spanish historians recalled being invited by a rajah to eat with them during a festival. One of the foods served is a sour soup or sinigang in modern years.

[@Ilaya593]

Wow, Jessica! You did a collab with the legendary Erwan Heussaff?!! That's amazing! I think you are a Filipina at heart ...

[@BlastinGuitars]

No way, this is such a big collab. Explains how big you are at the moment. Proud of you, Jessica! Long time supporter here. Keep going 🥰

[@thepinoychoppingboard1012]

That's right. Well she already made collaboration with known artists/content creators eversince. Like, SB19 alone says a lot how huge her channel is.

[@NoOne-pg2yy]

Ate Jessicaaaa, your content is like a tv show, it's not a normal vlog you put so much effort in it, angg galinggggg!!! GOODJOBB ATEEEE♥️♥️♥️

[@danielronda3918]

This is a good way to educate Filipinos of how diverse our food and culture is. I myself didn't know about few of those food and I agree that we should also be open to try something new.

[@daxenus1]

I like what they are showing the diversity of Filipino Cuisine and the idea that Filipino cuisine be presented Internationally, but I like itmore to presented in Traditional in Presentation. That itself is also part of Culture.

[@relaxingparadisetv276]

I love how this hapag restaurant making our local dishes to make it international. Definitely will try this place with family and friends.

[@pebblewash]

I didn’t expect this collab , but I’m glad Jessica did one with Erwan! Your contents are getting better and better. I’ve been a fan since you were in highschool. I’m so happy how your channel has grown and reach so much people. Thank you for loving the Philippines.

[@aryllfan2083]

Oh wow ! The way that Erwin thoroughly explained the Filipino and the cultures influenced by them is very interesting I never thought of it that way!

[@johndavemcfollin9214]

[@thraiamercadejas_]

A collab we did not expect we needed!!! 🥰

[@eraserheadsmoshpit17k39]

I like the energy of Jessica and erwan Complimenting each other, Jessica being the "still learning" and shy culture student and erwan being the educator and vocal but formal Guy XD

[@GiTyNic]

In the US, it took a very long time for Filipino food to become mainstream. Personally I think Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations feature of the Philippines really opened it up, followed by Andrew Zimmern and other features from the Food Network channel later on. Travel and Leisure magazine also rated the beach resorts in Cebu and Palawan top 10 destination in the world which brought more exposure to the country in general. Lastly travel vlogs from many foreigners vacationing in the Philippines have spiked content about the Philippines globally. Erwan's content was well presented very pro and I love Jessica's vlogs, she has that young energy and vibe plus the fact that she is Korean who grew up partially in the Philippines has been particularly interesting an quite refreshing. Keep up the awesome work we love it!

[@Migzzzzz]

Daaang. Some of the foods here are done by Molecular Gastronomy methods. Molecular Gastronomy is a masterpiece talaga. As a culinary arts major, this brings me so much joy and excitement, these are like a peek at the path I chose. haha! So much for me to learn and explore about food. More food vlogs to comeee!! 🤤❤

[@alinocencio1798]

Im very impressed how you remained calm and composed.. i mean Erwan is huge celebrity in the Philippines, youre into one great opportunity to even sit beside him

[@mysterycharm03]

I am a big fond of FEATR bec Erwan knows how to dig up a lot of long lost or obscure filipino dish. We actually have a very diverse cuisine but people only knew sisig, sinigang, adobo and the tomato based stews like menudo afritada etc etc. But there are a lot of indigenous dish like in the province of cordillera, they have pinikpikan and diningdeng which is free of any colonial influence. Also the cusine of the mindanao which is very related to indian/arab cuisine. There is this stuffed turkey he featured pavo embuchado which I'm surprised bec my aunt knows how to make it and not everybody knows that dish. Also there's soup with burnt coconut husk he featured too which originates in the southern part of the archipelago.

[@arrjhaysantillan1215]

It was just so applausable and amazing how Erwan really knows the diversity and history of our cuisine and culture. Kudos! Thanks ate Jes for this wonderful content. I am so enlightened and gutooooommmm. Sobrang nakakagutom. 🤣😂🤣

[@kawaiiafangirl]

Jessica has really blessed us these last few days with her videos.

[@_keysaclag]

Ate Jessicaaa, how do you always manage to make your videos soooo engaging? I felt like I'm actually sitting in there and enjoying the food while listening to you guys talking 😆

[@karenmanis6441]

I love how simple, organized & informative this vlog is! Its also making me proud to see two people who arent pure filipino but loving so much our country! This is a wake up call to us filipinos how beautiful and diverse our food is! Really nice vlogs ♥️ thank you jessica for loving ph ♥️♥️♥️

[@laurencetagra2720]

I always loved how articulate Jessica is to her contents. Like always informative and fun to watch! 🙌🏻♥️✨

[@darwinsvaleza]

This is so worth the wait Jessica a very informative content. Just when i thought i knew everything and this comes out, Thank you for sharing this and doing a colab with Erwan is soooooo cool 🤗🤗🤗

[@triptip00]

Next week: Lots of vloggers will be here. Lol! Good content Jessica & always nice to see Erwan in these types of videos. Keep up the great work, both of you. :)

[@Nopski_]

i forgot the name of the business lady owner in new york i think...she said for her filipino food is authentic as long as you use the natural ingredients(no powder stuff, so shortcut)...whatever style you choose as long as the ingredients are all natural and filipino

[@Simplicity992]

This video made me hungry and crave filipino food! A very well made video introducing Filipino food. Erwan and you presented the dishes really well!

[@gallenreybrillantes4771]

Ang galing ng restaurant ni erwan, old tradition apply and different region recipe

[@anniejoy8061]

The video is so informative, I liked what erwan said about not caring about the labels and just trying new things, I think a misconception we commonly get is that when we see something that's made like in a new way or something we're not familiar with, our common response would be that oh that's not supposed to be how it's made, or it's not traditional anymore or the essence of that something is not preserved anymore, it's not going to taste like how it's supposed to taste etc etc because it was done/made in a different way, but there's no harm in trying things that were made differently, this can be a step towards innovation, in terms of food, I don't see anything wrong with traditional foods being made and presented in a different way, as long as it was done with utmost respect and with good intentions.

[@robertaschalkhammer3446]

I grew up with "BATUAN" in Negros. We put it in our paksiw, tinola, nilaga..etc. So surprise that it´s Erwan´s favorite and preferred souring agent. Very natural.

[@jamesheng1878]

I feel like talking to Filipino friends, it’s this lack of confidence to show Filipino food to the public outside of the Filipino community. I feel this as a Cambodian because every Cambodian I know who is a generation above me, always says “maybe they can’t eat our food” and as a result I wonder if Filipinos of an older generation share this mentality. It’s up to us younger to promote it.

[@rozjibbytv]

Off topic im filipino but my fave cuisine is khmer and ima slaughter the spellings but salor maju yuon, loklak, numpachok, prohok etc etc fil dishes are bland compared to khmer dishes no shade no emotion just my personal preference

[@juicewar1]

I love this girl. She loves the Filipino culture more than i do. And im born and bred there, actually got off the place as soon as i could.

[@bonnie9000]

a collab i didn't know i needed!!! please do more collabs in the future!!! you guys have such a good chemistry!!! like tito and pamangkin 😝 kidding aside, i love this so much!!!

[@jayeeee7263]

I love the way some of the foods came from negros, people coming from different regions always has a positive feedback about our food, as a local here i never thought in the way that other people coming from different regions telling that the food here is very good especially the chicken inasal, cause i grow up in here ever since😅

[@Learning_Boosters123]

New sub here. This vid is very informative. The guest Erwan's knowledge about Philippine cuisine is impressive. This might be one of your best vids Ms Lee. Keep it up.

[@JAE-yq3bz]

I love that you are collabing with other Filipino content creators. How about Chef JP Anglo? His vlogs are very wholesome, authentic and very knowledgeable about filipino food and culture. Then after that since Chef JP and Ninong Ry are buddies, maybe Ninong Ry? Lol. Anyways great upload!

👏👏 so happy with new videos lately! Here you can see there is a different vibe with Jessica in the Philippines. The food looks delicious and I would want to taste the different regional flavors! 😋

[@yenyang-2017]

very informative. i think its not also sourness as the common taste to filipino food but also the saltiness as an act for preservative.

[@carlobonilla7798]

Please start doing this kind of content it's nice to see you collaborating with known filipino vloggers.

[@mykpando]

so nice to learn and be awe with Erwan 😲

[@mrzznngsc]

[@brightheartvlog]

And also Corn rice (Mais na Bigas) - it goes perfectly with Sabaw (Soup base Ulam like Tinola sa Malunggay with Lemon Grass) its a very classic menu or food down south! Of course, it is best eating it with Kinamot Style (eating with hands)😋😋

[@ddalpittue6582]

I'm hoping the mindanao part of Philippines' foods could also be introduced in your upcoming vlogs. I feel like you'll like it especially the "palapa", balbacua, papait, curry beef n chicken, and such. The palapa, its like the kimchi of northern Mindanao aside from the known bagoong and atsara of the Philippines.

[@xiamyracle]

Simply, WOW.

[@harpquioon9172]

[@joshuabriel9250]

the reason why our filipino food not able to go global dahil hindi consistent ang mga ingredients na nilalagay at hindi presentable sa eye ng costumer ang pagkain . if you look at the japanese cuisine makikita mo maganda ang presentation ng kanilang dish. Ang pinas kasi ang laging style ay turo turo lagay lang sa plato o sa bowl and then serve.

[@martinik19]

by the way HAPAG means table or as we call it HAPAG kainan or table for eating

[@jasm361]

I like Erwan's vision on pinoy food culture, 😊

[@camillatatar8421]

As a Filipino living in Sweden (northern Europe), I noticed how Europeans accepted these dishes naturally more than what was mentioned in the video: 1. Lumpia Shanghai 2. Nilagang Baka 3. Chicken Adobo Unfortunately sinigang is too sour for Europeans palate :(

[@nuketurnal2]

hmm top 3, id probably have - karekare, sisig, then a 3-way tie between tinola/sinigang/bulalo lol

[@trixiemotz7823]

I like how this looks like a documentary but a casual vlog at the same time.

[@frisc0pn0ib0i]

I always say growing up in America, Filipinos need to stop thinking “Filipino” and think in the mindset of western foreigners. When I look for Filipino food it is mostly presented as turo turo. We need more upper class Filipino restaurants. JESSICA I am impressed with the new editing style of the video

[@ilonggopoako]

I noticed the thumbnails and the whole ambiance and atmosphere changed into a more fine dining color with a touch of brown and golden hue to make it similar

[@janerickaminardo3915]

Watch FEATR video guys. I once watched a video of Erwan for my HIS003 requirement. Masasabi kong marami talaga kayong matututunan at madidiscover na bago tungkol sa Pilipinas.

[@Jopay9894]

We have Sunda in Downtown Chicago which I hope will achieve that same objective as Erwan had mentioned. Kare Kare is also my favorite. 😋

[@yasqueen530]

Erwan was right...as a person who grew up in Mindanao and moved in Manila i got confused on sinigang taste bcoz we don't usually eat sinigang in mindanao-well i don't know on other part but i just tasted sinigang when i moved here in Luzon hihi
