Hi, I'm watching from Haiti, I really like it when you use real coconut, because anything with coconut, I'm in. Thanks a lot and bring us more. Pleaaaase.

I would love a turkey video from you for the holidays! You add something money can't buy....Love...

[@nachomama8645]

Love you guys!! I’ve adopted you as my brothers from Queens! I learned who my father is as an adult and he is from PR (I grew up with a white mom in NJ), so I watch your videos to learn to cook traditional dishes for my PR fiancé and family! So far you’ve taught me to cook arroz con gandules, Arroz con pollo, sancocho, and flan! I can’t wait to try this! Mucho gracias mi hermanos!!! Would LOVE a good recipe for Sobao! We’re in SC and only get good bread if we go to FL!

[@swepea6558]

Nacho Mama , sorry to say but Florida does not have good bread unless it's made with bottle water my sister has been there for 32yrs now and when she comes to NYC she brings bread back especially bakery quality, water in Florida is not the greatest that's why bread is not very good.

[@nachomama8645]

It’s the closest connection we have in the south and I think it’s very good. Looking forward to learning to make it myself though.

[@honeyydrip9466]

yasssssss! we need more boricua videos. i see all thee korean channels, thai, italian, bbq etc pero what about us? our food is poppin and its good for your soul. KEEP IT UP!

[@penelopepitstop13]

@ Honeyy Drip, Hi. Agreed. Seguro que Yes, Salsa y Sabor ... 🇵🇷 🐶 PEACE! 🚭

[@jimdee1599]

So happy you are back. My dad use to use a screw driver and the mallet from the pylon to get the water out of the coconut. LOL. And to crack the coconut, he would put it in the oven at high heat until it cracked. Out of all of my siblings, I am the only one who can cook Puerto Rican food. My Mom and Dad were great cooks and taught me well. My husband who is Italian rather I make him a good plate of rice and beans over pasta!

[@victoriagamboa-thacker3708]

Love to see you have fun while making this video I really enjoyed watching this.

[@yodark2tee]

Making it the old way is always the best. The Puerto Rican Way.

[@mrs.meekersclassroomfamily4153]

As a displaced Nuyorican in Oklahoma, I love to use your recipes to bring a taste of home. I have missed your videos but I hope that you and your loved ones are blessed.

[@thecreativehermit]

I was just asking my mom if she can make some. My grandmother use to make and sell them all the time in Puerto Rico.

[@nadys6206]

Thank you for posting, I am going to make this in honor of my Abuelita who is the only one the family who make this for the holidays and passed away two years ago. Love your energy

[@carmenalicea4876]

I like the fact that you keep it real. I had a good laugh learning to make tembleque your way. Thank you. I love the salsa music towards the end😂❤

[@susiereyes2234]

This bought back memories of my Dad in the kitchen making holiday meals and desserts using real coconut.....and this dessert was one of them. Thank you 🙂

[@nuyoricaninthailand3911]

I SUBSCRIBED YOU GUYS ARE TO FUNNY. MUCH LOVE FROM THAILAND.

[@lourdesreyes7952]

[@egmn007]

Finally a Puerto Rican Restaurant in Astoria AMEN to your videos.

[@picantesworld7723]

Derrick I haven't had tembleque like in years. I agree I think using real coconut is much better than canned coconut milk. Thank you for sharing your recipe bro take care 🙂

[@Wildcat32615]

I ran into this KZbin channel I am so amazed. I have some Puerto Rican background. But was never taught how to cook Puerto Rican food. You have made me feel confident to attempt to try your recipes. The only one I can’t tackle Pasteles. Since I only cook for myself. Thank you I am a fan now lol

[@carmelomiranda2905]

My girl loves your show! Give her shout out next please! Melbie Ramos! Ty 🇵🇷

[@Brooklyncv]

You are amazing! Love how you keep the tradition of Puerto Rican culture going. Praises 🙌 to you Boriqua 👌 My parents went to your restaurant and absolutely loved everything they ate. I can't wait till they bring me.

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

[@Evyann305]

You were on a mission but that tembleque looked so creamy and amazing. 🇵🇷 ❤

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

Oh it was delicious. Let me tell you the cans will never taste like fresh coconut!

[@elizabethrosado8113]

It's a joy watching your videos. Not only does it teach us how to cook. It teaches us how to cook with Love. Thank you for putting in the hard work and love. It is truly appreciated.

[@bml3699]

[@kingpoe8385]

I am a big fan from one chef to another but you really impressed me how you dip fugitives out the the big tray and you had the three little trays and it was perfectly portioned out good stuff man good stuff

[@anajbellolio2240]

Se ve delicioso! Aprendí a abrir e coco calentándolo. Yo uso el martillo. Siempre algo nuevo uno aprende en tus vídeos! Yo compré tu sofrito. Adobo y el sazón. Me encantó.

[@fzilla42]

You are so informative and what’s good sense of humor!

[@White_Tiger2169]

My friend and I went to your restaurant and we had tembleque for dessert. It was delicious. I told the waiter that I was tempted to lick the plate

[@KitCat-yg3pc]

Next time I'm in NY I HAVE to go to his restaurant

[@gladtidings4all]

I sent pictures of your website restaurant food to my 30 year old doppelgänger son that looks like you. I’m Puerto Rican too. He said he would take us to your restaurant. I have to wait until I get better from my total knee surgery. I have a twin sister that will be going too! The word you were probably thinking was being resourceful. I’m from Woodbridge, New Jersey

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

It actually was improvise. Yay cant wait to see you and the fam. 🥰

[@nancyr7825]

LOL definitely one of your more entertaining videos. Love that you are so down to earth. Keeping it real. We love tembleque for the holidays. Giving it a try. Thank you.

[@jaredrios9575]

I love Tembleque. I had a coconut challenge at work and I won with Tembleque lol. I added heavy cream, coconut powder, and orange blossom water. Topped with a sherry wine spiced syrup and dry figs a seared in coconut oil. It was 😍. Such an easy, flexible and delicious dessert to whip up.

[@derod116]

Thank you for the recipe and the laughs. You really needed your hammer, lol This video was hilarious from the 'don't burn your weave', to the 'coconut incense house blessing.' Your face when the coconut was not breaking was priceless and Victor chuckling behind the camera had me dying. I love you guys, xoxo

[@cbomparola6092]

This was such a fun video to watch, I’ve never seen tembleque made with fresh coconut . Looks amazing and worth the extra step with the fresh coconut. Thanks for the blessing from the smoking coconut too lol !

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

I'm so glad! Thank you

[@slyflea]

I watched this with my wife and she said that her grandmother used to make it with fresh coconut. The simmering spices were a nice twist. Really enjoy watching your vids. And you really need a whisk that won’t scratch that pan!!🧐

[@francesmorales1094]

Lol did you really go there with tha har --(hair). I’m still laughing!!! You’re that primo in the family that keep it real with jokes!! Thank you so much for sharing our Puerto Rican traditions. My grandparents passed when I was young so these cooking traditions are helpful for me to cook during the holidays! Abrazos from Texas!!!

You can use the back of a sturdy knife to crack it as well, save the sink and tile floor

[@gnavarro58]

Resourceful for RECURSIVO. Nunca había oído esa palabra en español. Ja ja ja. En Venezuela lo llamamos Majarete y es con harina de maíz. Delicioso!

[@dcarof]

[@snoopy1585]

Gracias for the recipe. I’m going to give it a try this Thanksgiving.

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

[@PassionGrows]

I wonder if you can put the coconut in the hot oven for a few minutes?

[@ernestmeyers253]

Hi! Love your cooking videos. Welcome Back...😄

[@carmenalicea4876]

Oh so heating it will also separate the coconut meat from the shelf??? Thank you. I learned alot.

[@lydiarodriguez8161]

Love It! That’s how I grew up eating it!

[@nerissathomas7777]

[@edgardorivera617]

Inovative with the coconut brakage

[@ityuno]

You are too funny! I love your videos. No hammer? No problem, you improvise (was that what you meant?), LOL

[@Thefreakinricanrestaurant]

That is the word. I love you!

[@carmenalicea4876]

Question: thé rotating on the heat is to make it easier to crack the coconut?

[@rosaoyola694]

Dios mío coco el piso 😂😂😂....que rico coco tembleque 😄

[@jacquelineocasio583]

Like my grandmother do👌

[@ruthstevens3720]

[@omirapena7426]

That’s amazing 🤩 can you add Coconut flakes

[@sunshinehaydeeify]

Jaja oh my goodness como me reí!! Chèvrre jaja lo intentaré

[@daisycardona2910]

Question your coconuts have a different exterior color, why? And were do you get them from?

[@MariaRodriguez-nc2ew]

Does it stink while it’s un the burner?

[@GypsyTheGoatOnTube]

For night snack we had this hot spread on a plate with cinnamon

[@tararobles3245]

That’s how I break my coconuts lol I slam it on the floor

[@beatrizaguilar2886]

This is great.....

[@makeupwaifu]

What can I use instead of water?
