Rice Palay is Pounded All Night for This Dish in the Philippines

Perseverance and hard work; two values that laruk-laruk imparts to both its makers and consumers. From Rice Palay to Plate, Philippine dishes aren’t just tasty, but they preserve a lot of our culture and history.

This channel really slaps me the fact Philippines has a lot of regional traditional dishes that we should be proud of.

[@featrmedia]

Big yes!

A lot more to find about phillipines sir.

It’s sad how some of these dishes lack the visibility they deserve.

FEATR Thank you for featuring our town of Zambales especially Babancal where I was born and grew up for 18 yrs . Your content is really educational. I miss making laruk laruk to tinupak. That is sooo yummy. By the way that's my brother who sings and played the guitar . Proud of him " ca Boden."

[@angelosparks12]

Now this is quality content! Thank you for bringing the Philippines' hidden cultures, traditions, and food to the public! I hope that I can see someone at least market and sell these here in Manila.

[@arminsarcia]

This reminds me of a dish we call bayibayi in iloilo. :) i find it interesting how similar dishes have different names in different parts of the country. And there are also those that (i think) have the same name wherever you go, like adobo. It would be nice to know the origins of the dishes. :)

[@impangcarlof.9180]

Yizz we call that bayi-bayi too. 😁

[@linobocarlgeomari9487]

Yeah me too, it reminded me of bayi bayi, we have the same mortar and pestle like they do (although ours is more than 30 old years old already 😂). Siling ko nagid may Ilonggo gid ya nga makahalata nga daw bayi-bayi ni 😂.

[@annabp4260]

Nostalgic! I was talking about this delicacy to my friend just few days ago and for us ilonggos we call it Baye-baye. This is a must try when youre visiting panay island and the mais version really taste good too. It amazes me that we call it in different names in different areas of our country but the tradition that we prepare it before ani/harvest ng palay or during all souls day its the same. I have wonderful childhood memories when we prepare this and I look forward to eat this whenever I go home in the Phils..such a great content

Great video, but please work on the legibility of the subtitles. The yellow is very hard to read a lot of the time. Perhaps add a thin, dark outline (not necessarily black, even a darker yellow would do the trick) to boost legibility. The light and dark contrast should keep things readable on any background. Other than that, great video! I’d never heard of this before. I’ll need to see if I can find it next time I’m in the Philippines. So many things to do, so little time!
