Trying 12 FILIPINO FOODS for the FIRST TIME

[@zackdkwik]

most Filipino food is intended to be eaten with rice, that is why the dishes on their own are seasoned strongly. The rice balance or softens the strong flavors. Tip: if the dish is too salty/sour/sweet/spicy, just add more rice on your spoon to water down the strong flavor.

[@brokenhearted4962]

The shrimp paste is for the kare kare, just put a small amount when you eat kare kare, it will level up the taste.

The Filipino silogs... It's called that coz its a combo of stir fried rice =sinangag, egg = itlog... Thats where you get the "silog" = sinangag + itlog.. Then pair it with whatever you like. Hotdog becomes hotsilog, tapa is tapsilog, bacon is bacsilog, longanisa (filo sweet sausage) is longsilog. Usually the classics are tapsilog, longsilog and tocino (sweer pork) is tocilog. Enjoy!

[@sigangelsph]

Shrimp paste was missed on Kare Kare so funny. 😅 I'm glad the world is enjoying Filo cuisine. It simply slaps! Funny thing is that Filipino food is not esthetically pleasing to look at, but the more it looks weird, usually the better! So don't judge, just try!

[@erikavillanueva4636]

@8:22 it is called Sagot Gulaman. That coca cola color is made of brown sugar with gelatin and tapioca pearls. Its so cool that it reminds you of your childhood.

[@Z020852]

Kare-Kare: Just say "curry" with a Japanese accent twice. Also the fermented shrimp paste that comes with it is a condiment - pinch a little bit of that with your chopsticks and put it on a piece of veg or beef. If you ever cook this at home, make this extra saucy and save the extra sauce - you can use that for Americanized dandanmian. And about the instant champorado...that one uses something like rice krispies. The non-instant version uses congee rice. Consistency also varies, kind of like regular chicken stock congee. And yeah if you're having a rich breakfast, just make a heck of a lot of extra hot coco so you can set aside some in a saucepan and keep it hot while you make the chocolate congee (then mix up either as you like, like add espresso shots or black coffee; maybe some rum too and for that I recommend Don Papa). If you can't locate any of the cocoa tablets (although unless you got the instant stuff from a Filipino grocery, chances are they have it; otherwise, get some from a Mexican store), Hershey's and Ghirardelli coco powder will work.

No worries with the pronunciation. No cheese in Palabok. That's probably hard boild egg yolk. Halo-halo has no noodles but that's macapuno which is a mutant of coconut. The green things if crunchy are rice crispies if not the its gulaman or just jello. The only thing you are missing is the local ingredients which is a whole different story. Look for Crispy pata, dinuguan (if you dare), kaldereta, humba, bulalo, lumpiang sariwa, binagoongan, ube halaya, any ginataan dishes and sisig. There are more but this is a good list. Find a Filipino family to feed you. That would be a better experience haha.

Hey Chris! Thanks so much for trying our food ☺️ The shrimp paste (bagoong) is actually for kare kare and pinakbet, not the lumpia. You add a little bagoong to each bite and it adds to the taste. :)

hi, filipino food lover here!!! i think the drink you drank at your filipino neighbor's house you were referring to at 8:34 is sago't gulaman, it's basically a sweet, refreshing drink that the main stars are the sago (tapioca pearls) and the green jelly you saw in your halo-halo. sometimes halo-halo also uses sago!

Tapsilog is just one of the different types of silog in the Philippines. My favorite silog is bacsilog.

[@eduardochavacano]

That is just FOOD sold to office workers and poor people in the capital city. But Filipinos assumed that is their culture.

[@mad23laracelestesiosana7]

​@@eduardochavacano This IS our culture. Most silogs have a filipino dish as their ulam/viand. Also this is a classic filipino dishes that a lot of filipinos grew up with. It doesn't matter who the food is sold or who's eating what to it matters who made the food and as far as my understanding of tagalog goes SILOG is a filipino name that translates to Garlic fried rice and eggs in english. Please do not say people assume parts of their culture when it is part of their culture and it's a bit disrespectful.

The one with bittergourd is called Pinakbet. It's stir fried assorted veggies (pumpkin, okra, tomato, eggplant, stringbeans) in shrimp paste. It's akin to french dish ratatouille.

[@jperez7893]

excellent review. I think you forgot to put a little shrimp paste on your Kare Kare and pinakbet. it's required you put a little bit of that shrimp paste but not too much. a lot of filipino food depends on corresponding sauces and dips and chilies. suite to taste. try their crispy pata dipped in their special sauce of soy sauce vinegar, onions, and chili
