The Best Buro in Pampanga (Filipino Fermented Rice)

[@featrmedia]

Erratum: We edited the caption referencing the word "Buro" as a Tagalog word. This video in particular, explores the different varieties of Burong Kapampangan. Buro is a Filipino term that is used in different regions (with different spellings) of the country, to refer to a method of pickling, fermenting or preserving ingredients.

[@segundina6876]

YES . HINDI KO MAIPAGPAPALIT ANG LASA NG BURONG ISDA SA KARNE. . YUMMY😊😊

Hi! How can we buy the buro from Lola Priscilla?

[@lourencedelacruz4748]

I feel the happiness of nanay Precilla on cooking and sharing how to make the buro. Very passionate. People like her should be protected at all cost.

[@lornabegley9913]

I totally agree. She's truly a treasure.

[@watersports1381]

she is what Filipinos lost, the passion for our craft and the passion to what we do

[@mln7771]

I tasted this once in Pampanga many years ago. It surprised me. I didn't realize it was buro (fermented rice) until I put it in my mouth. I did not care for it. It's an acquired taste. I so appreciate this channel. You are teaching me my heritage. I grew up in North America. I find this channel like a class in cultural anthropology. Bravo! I am grateful for this type of content.

[@featrmedia]

Thanks for sharing!

[@AliceKamatis]

I agree. I searched for "Burong Isda" in the internet since I learned that my late father used to craved it whenever he comes home to Nueva Ecija. This episode beautifully narrated the people preparing this dish, a dish that's popular before but slowly being forgotten. Thanks FEATR for featuring this story.

[@Nico-zp6wg]

Took me moving to a different continent to truly appreciate what being a Filipino is and it’s thanks a lot to channels like yours. Also I’ve been eating buro since I was a child and steeling myself against that initial pungency sparked a 3 decade love of all things fermented

[@maverickjudd]

watching this somehow made me think of the mom of a friend. I remember one time this friend asked a couple of us to go to his hometown in Pampanga for their fiesta and who would say no to food. What a spread of food as his mom prepared her signature dishes of menudo, mechado, various vegetable dishes and grilled meats and fishes. In one side there it was the buro looking like a paste or porridge and when I ask her what it was she explained to me how they would use it to enhance the flavor and appetite especially if paired with grilled catfish or assortment of vegetables. I took one whiff and boy my stomach recoiled at the smell. Yet she looked at me with an approving gaze and told me to try it. Not wanting to be rude I did and man that first taste was magical as it had sourness, saltiness and that unmistakable aroma and taste of something fermented, that funk that was addicting. I tried it with a side of the catfish, then some mustard greens, then some grilled eggplant. I made a wrap of the green, with some fish and the eggplant with a generous portion of the buro smeared int the wrap and it was bliss. I saw her happiness seeing me enjoy it and that started my love affair with buro. I would often go to their house during fiestas. She would often make it a point to seal some buro for me to take home to the utmost horror of my siblings which hated its smell but I love it. sometimes she would send me a package whenever she made a fresh batch and her son would take to the office again to the horror of those that didn't like its smell. A few years ago she died and no one continued her legacy of making buro so watching this is a bittersweet memory and making me remember the first time I ate it. Thank you Featr for this walk to memory lane and always showing our heritage.

[@joeylizasimbulan3973]

It's definitely an acquired taste. I didn't like it when I was young and the whole house would smell of buro whenever my grandma cooks it. But now it's one of my fave kapampangan delicacy. I often eat it with inihaw na tilapia and mustasa leaves (eat it like a samgyupsal).

[@MFachriAlShidqi]

We have similar delicacy in Indonesia particularly from some area in Sumatera island, we called it “Bekasam”. It is nice to know that we share similar tradition in food fermentation 😊

[@galemaguarin3906]

Yes there is pakasam here in rizal province of Philippines i think its the same as bekasam of Indonesia it is fermented fresh water shirmp.

[@BrianHassanBadi]

I remember eating this in pampanga when i was a kid. My mother was in the US army, but we lived off base. There are so many fond memories except for running for my life from Mount pinatubo, but other than that, it was grand.

[@angelicagaitos4230]

Apong Precy is a delight to watch. Her happiness radiates and she takes pride in her buro. What a simple way to live! Mabuhay ka Apong Precy!

[@jomelzorilla1773]

“Kahit tulog ako papag timplahin mo ako ng buro, okay lang sa akin” napatawa at ngiti ako bigla sarap marinig ng sinabi nya with a very welcoming smile n talagang ma feel mo na okay na okay tlga sa knya. ❤️

[@Viie42]

I have distinct memories of watching my late Lolo make Buro when I was a child. I never really acquired the taste for it but seeing this takes me back to those memories of my childhood spent in my grandparents' old home. Thank you for featuring this dish.

[@aureabaca]

Not many Filipino knows about this Burong Isda, originally from Pampanga. I tried this and it was delicious especially with steamed vegetables like eggplant, okra, dahon ng mustasa, at pritong isda. Mapapa Extra rice ka. Super duper delicious.

My grandmother served this to us when we were kids (buro - rice with fish) and I always looked forward to it - very distinctive flavor.

[@tashliwanag4061]

My mom is a kapampangan, and as a kid, noong bumibisita kami sa bahay ng mga kamag-anak sa Dau, maamoy ko palang yan, inaayawan ko yan. Out of nowhere last year bigla ako nagcrave sa buro kahit di ko pa natitikman, so noong last visit namin is nagpabili ako ng buro. It's really either you like it or not. For me, sobrang sarap niyan!

[@rickvargas1002]

Paborito ko na kapampangan condiment. Masarap yan sa mustasa, talong at okra. 😋

[@Faye-e6l]

Candaba is my hometown and pampanga is a culinary capital. Kahit sabihin pa ni anne Curtis na ordinary nalang ang sisig sa pampanga, hindi natin maitatago ang katotohanan na sa mga kapampangan lang natuto magluto ng sisig ang mga iba. At sa amin lang natutunan ng iba na isinisingkotsa muna bago igisa ang ibang putahe, para maging malasa, sumarap, tumagal at hindi masira agad ang ulam. Madalang lang sa aming pamilya ang hindi marunong magluto.

[@TheJamglam1]

Omg... Love burong isda. The best! Missed it.

[@M1kkoo]

I can eat any ulam with buro. My fave food from pampanga 😋

[@swtladyy16]

Yum! We love burn! My mom makes burong isda for us here in the US, or when family goes to the Philippines to visit, they bring huge containers of buro back with them.

[@JoenceValdezValdezJoenceS.]

Ang burong isda na may nilagang talong at okra or ampalaya or fresh mustaza ay talagang masarap kumain lalo na kung ang buro ay galing sa Candaba the best in BURONG ASAN.

I LOVE BURO WATCHING FROM SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA

[@petermypope7591]

Mme Priscilla Torres David, Her dedication to the traditional method is admirable. There could be a few reasons why she avoids machines: Flavor: Perhaps she believes machines alter the taste or texture of the buro compared to the handmade method. Quality Control: She might feel she has more control over the quality and consistency of the buro when doing everything by hand. Cultural Significance: There's a chance the traditional process of making buro holds cultural significance for her, and she wants to preserve that heritage.

[@renepamintuan3043]

i have a different thesis/belief on how we developed fermentation and other methods of cooking. The 300 years of Galleon Trade i think allowed us to think different ways and methodologies. It would take 2 to 3 months to travel by sea to reach Acapulco from Manila Bay. Manila Bay included the mouth of the Pampanga River, so many of the food, provisions, water, and even carpentry repairs were done there. The extensive use of Capampangan carpentry and woodworks meant not just jobs for the Pampanga artisans, but meant too that most of the woods/trees would be felled down to supply the woods for the Galleon Trade. That is why Pampanga is less of forested areas, and instead became more of rice, and even Sugar Cane because that is what was traded then. Places like Dau, Mabalacat, and many other regions were named after the numerous trees there beforehand, that are not there anymore today. The Galleon Trade marked Pampanga in the most heavy way, as most of the names of places and barrios were named after Mexican places. Food was to be carried and transported for months, so it has to be preserved. Buru became one of the best methods to do it. Other foods from Mexico too found its way to Pampanga, like Tamales. Pindang(fermented pork, chicken, beef, carabeef) became prevalent because not only did these taste very well, but also stayed good for food even after weeks and months. Capampangans adapted menus to what was available locally, hence our tamales is different from the mexican's.

[@Seoulsearcher131]

Sarap.. fave ko yang buro..❤

[@RGisOutOfOffice]

Burong isda is one of those dishes that I just can't get over the visuals - seeing the fish bones in the wet rice reminds me of something else😅.. i guess that's why some put food coloring nowadays to get that bright pink color, almost like alamang.. but a lot in my family loves this as dip for boiled veggies, usually cooked on the 'drier' side - i still prefer bagoong isda and tomatoes, as I've never got used to it. Definitely an acquired taste, but you'll never know unless you try. Maybe it'll surprise you. Un our household, this is usually brought home as a pasalubong whenever someone visits central luzon.

[@edgardoaguilar8136]

I first had it as a child. I didn't like it. It looked, smelled, and tasted like vomit! No kidding. But since the adults around me relished it so much, I gave it a chance, and it soon grew on me. Delicious as a sawsawan condiment, or drizzled sparingly on plain boiled rice for its strong umami flavor. I remember the product as pink in color due to the addition of red yeast rice, or "angkak" in Tagalog. The traditional fish used with the rice is the gourami, a fresh water fish. Yes, I'd still have this delicacy in a heartbeat.
