[@drexartim560]

Thing i like the most about you, aside from being so open minded to cuisines, is how you eat rice. Ive seen a lot of food contents from westerners that eats asian food but disregards the rice that comes with the food. You eat rice like it's something to fight for and i really respect that

[@reapd2576]

yeah i really like how he straight meals up the rice unlike most western food reviewers

[@poorpinoyvlogs]

Westerner's and typically non-Asian people look at rice as a side dish. Which is super weird when its basically flavourless, but they would eat it alone sometimes lol. But for some people, they really just dont want to eat additional carbs and Filipino meals usually have a ton of rice with them.

[@CoFFee-uw5sv]

[@f.b.lagent1113]

⁠​⁠@@poorpinoyvlogs the fats and other carbs like bread, potatoes or corn makes up for their diet’s “heftyness”, just not used to rice

[@MaximaToluene]

This. Filipino cuisine almost always requires rice. Its not optional haha.

[@juliusconcepcion3919]

Mustard is not part of any filipino traditional dish nor part of any filipino food culture. Filipino chicken curry is mainly just curry and coconut milk based. How you ate your bbq and lumpia and rice with the vinegar, that is actually how filipinos eat. For westerners, fiipino cuisine might definitely be too strong in terms of flavor. But that is why the rice is there. To balance it out and fill you more. Edit: wag na kayo umeme. Sa kanya na nga nanggaling na French's tinutukoy niya.😅

[@zenheiser9695]

Turmeric yung nalalasahan nya since kasama ito sa main ingredients ng mga yellow mustard.

We do eat a mustard. Mustard greens. Mustasa! However yeah he’s tasting turmeric probably cause that’s what makes mustard yellow.

[@juliusconcepcion3919]

Which part of my comment did i ever say we do not eat mustard.? He said it himself. He was referring to French's mustard. Obviously, that was what i was referring to as well.

[@docbojoc1466]

Tropical Hut is my go-to place for Filipino Food. The original one is at Rt. 9 in Old Bridge,NJ where I used to live. They had that place since the early 2000. They only have 2 small table and a few chairs at that location during that time. Owner is a chef and very friendly. Their food is not only tasty but also consistent every single time. And the secret to the consistency is the chefs exact measurement. You can see it at the walls of his kitchen. Back then, if you come during closing time, they make sure to sell off all their food. To do that, if you order a small size serving, they will give you medium size for the price of a small serving. And sometimes I get an extra free small order. This assures you that food is being prepared fresh daily. I don't know if they still do that though. I miss that place.

[@Mike_219]

tropical hut is legit. That's where most of hte filipinos be ordering catering for parties when they don't feel like cooking. Love that place

We don’t put murstard in, our spice mix just has similar spice as French mustard. WHICH IS TURMERIC. Though. Usually you do t really taste it at. This one might just be very turmeric forwards. We also eat yellow turmeric rice sooo

[@0perabae]

I mentioned on a stream once about trying different Filipino restaurants so this made me happy to see! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aidawilson971]

Thank you for trying our Filipino pinoy foods. Crispy Pata is great pairing with Beer just like Sisig. And Btw, the Filipino chicken curry has no mustard in it. Lol Its cooked with coconut milk, ginger , and curry powder , and turmeric . Indian curry otherwise, they mostly don’t use coconut milk , but use yogurt instead. Enjoy ! 😁🇵🇭❤️

[@S4XNE]

LOVE these mom and pop restaurant videos. I feel like I learn something new everytime.

[@yvtts]

Looove filipino curry. We use no mustard in our curry though. Yellow curry powder, sometimes added tumeric, makes it yellow. Might be the ginger variant mixed with the coconut milk, curry powder and fish sauce that mimicked the pungency of mustard. But the beauty in our food is that the recipes vary but they're all good! Great to see you enjoy our food!! 😊

[@KingSchratz]

It literally tasted like yellow mustard. Maybe they make it different.

[@TheMaisonets]

Maybe THIS PLACE specifically uses yellow mustard though.

the flavor profile of filipino curry is reminiscent of mustard now that I think about it but mustard is def not an ingredient in a traditional preparation...maybe that store used mustard as a substitute bec of the similarity in flavor profile

[@easya5663]

Kudos to you man You actually do something Most of the channels just say "Oh my god" or "wow" Just to get filipino views You actually describe the taste texture and feeling of the food As well as expectations and psychological responses Massive respect man keep it up

[@aigurango84]

The spiced vinegar on the rice with the beef BBQ.... That's a classic Filipino way of eating it. I nominate you as an honorary pinoy.

[@Spade_XI]

Fun Fact: There is a Tropical Hut brand that is a fast food chain in the Philippines and they are older than Jollibee.. Back in the day, there were 3 popular Filipino fast food chains, Tropical Hut, Cindy's and Jollibee.. Their burger patties taste very similar, until Jollibee went commercial and change theirs into a more beefy taste..

[@rollmyeggroll8947]

[@kapitanbasahan]

the vinegar sauce we use can be made with 1 part white vinegar and 1 part cane vinegar. a ton of diced red onion and maybe a few slices of chilli depending on the person, slices or smashed bits of garlic then black pepper and a bit of sugar if you want. let the vinegar sit in a cool dark place for a week or 2 then depending on how much you want the spices to get mixed up before use.

[@RobertoSabasArtist]

Excellent reviews! I like how you break down the flavor profiles for each item that you try. I’m new to the channel and have yet to check out your other videos… If you haven’t already reviewed it, I recommend Filipino store bought items and/or reviews of Filipino snacks like siopao (heavily borrowed from Chinese cuisine). Ditto re above comments on Filipino chicken curry. I use either yellow curry or Madras curry and coconut milk when I cook it. Throw in some string beans and cubed potatoes and you got yourself a great meal!

In Ph, we always have "dip sauce" on our table. Spicy Vinegar, or shrimp paste (alamang) or soy sauce (datu puti / silver swan) or (bagoong) fish sauce.. We always have atleast 2 or 3 dip sauce. So when you put vinegar on your BBQ, i knew that you'll taste heaven. 🤭

What a lot folks don't know is that almost every filipino meal food always comes with a side of rice. My all time favorite filipino dish is Dinuguan(chocolate meat) savory stew usually of pork and/or meat simmered in a rich, spicy dark gravy of pig blood, garlic, chili, and vinegar over rice yo. Another dish Kare-kare another stew that features thick savory peanut sauce. It is generally made from a base of oxtail, beef tripe, pork hocks, egg plant, so good!

[@dennissanvicente1576]

Typical we don't use mustard, the piquancy is most probably the use of vinegar in the braising liquid w/ curry spices & coconut cream. The BBQ stick is most likely pork shoulder, marinaded w/ banana ketchup, lemon-lime soda, soy sauce, S&P, vinegar & brown sugar. Unfortunately lumpia has to be eaten freshly fried, if covered, the steam or humidity will make it soggy. Bicol Express has ver tender braised meats, rich coconut cream & hot chili peppers. Anything abodo requires plenty of steamed rice. Pancit is so variable according to many different regional & family recipes. Cripsy pata is for very special occasions and don't tell your doctor about your cholesterol levels! As for leche flan is best homemade. Thanks for sharing and enjoying Filipino food!

[@frankiexyborg5980]

We dont use mustard in our filipino curry chicken. The yellow color is from fresh yellow ginger or powdered form normally called turmeric. It has health benefits for your stomach. Its also good to apply to open wounds. It lowers cholesterol and blood sugar. I use it for tea also. Plus we use coconut milk for a creamy consistsncy . 😊

As a Filipino the vinigar dip for the lumpiang touge goes as well to the barbecue. You can also use banana ketchup if you don't want something sour but a mild sweet and sour ketchup.

[@claudinebernadettejimdar1681]

I love cooking Philippino dishes! Just haven’t cooked in a long time. Over here at home the sweet and sour chicken or pork and Chow mein is the cuisine. It’s not like philippino food at all. The noodle is different from what I’m used to. We use Pancit noodles. Adobo is goooood! There’s the Indian dishes too. Do you like curry and Roti? The oxtail is good! I’m always so happy when we get that. It’s my favorite. Nobody really shares the Philippino dishes over here at home. I have no idea why. Probably because somebody over here is isolating the foods. That’s what I think.

I've had some that taste ok, & some that you can eat the meat without needing a dipping sauce bec. it was that tasty! OTOH, I am curious how foreigners would find the taste of other local dishes like Mongo and Papaitan 🤔

Watching this made me miss my sister in law's cooking. She's Filipino so she always makes quite a few of her dishes for family functions. I could eat like ten of her lumpia in one sitting and call it a meal, they're that good. Definitely a labor of love though.

[@71nk94]

Vegetable lumpia, if it sits after some time, the water in the vegetables will seep through and will remove some of the crispiness of the wrapper. It is best eaten around 5 minutes to 30 minutes to keep the crispiness.
