Trying more Filipino Food! | Romford Shopping Hall

[@roverlights6113]

depending on how the shrimp paste was seasoned (it can get really salty, some prepare it a little sweet and less salty and spicy) you can always start with the smallest amount a dab on the meat would do

[@MarkWilliamsRom]

It's good seeing you going back to the cafe I luv this place the food is amazing I still recommend that you go to asda and see the picture of what romford used to look like back in the day

[@ADayintheUK]

Cheers Mark, I'll take a look when I next shop there

[@MarkWilliamsRom]

Poppy is gorgeous. I enjoyed to eat Filipino dishes in Croydon's food and music festival last year.

[@LorraineBarcoMejia]

I’ve finally finished watching this!!! It’s so nice to see how much you appreciate Filipino food. My husband and I were so happy to meet you and your mum earlier at the new Sunrise location. I think our baby was happy to meet you both too. Hope to bump into you there again.

[@ADayintheUK]

Hey Lorraine, it was lovely to meet you both and your gorgeous little one, I'm sure I'll see you in there again, and if I'm filming come on over!

[@derekantill3721]

Sunrise cafe’ looks an amazing place, I used to go to Romford often but never knew of this place. However I left England 18 years ago so no chance of going to Romford now.

Combine rice + 1 kind only. Flavours are strong, the rice to balance it out.

[@jeremiehernandez905]

Spoon goes to the right, fork to the left (if you are right handed/ vice versa if you are left handed). Yes the spoon acts as a knife in most occasions but it's main purpose is to put a small scoop of rice with the "ulam" ("dish or protein" which is the kare kare) onto the spoon, spoon with food goes to the mouth (instead of the usual protein on fork to the mouth.) You can also do a 2 part thing - scoop of rice then scoop of ulam. Yes It'll be a lot of getting use to. But if you like using the fork, you can use it like a "fork"lift for the rice if you can manage it easy. Although it'll be tough if the variety of rice is not sticky enough and breaks easily. That is why we use spoons. On the crispy squid, I believe she may have forgotten the sauce or dip for those (like vinegar or something sour+sweet or sweet+spicy). You should ask her if there are recommendations for dips or sauces to go with the crispy squid when you visit again.

[@ADayintheUK]

Cheers Jeremie, thats some great information...and I've learnt a new word... 'ulam'

[@piemiller4433]

Lechon Paksiw is with vinigar, sugar, and with spices. So good!

[@Arnel_A67]

first time to see this place from vlogs. very good find. 🇵🇭👍

[@ADayintheUK]

Glad you enjoyed it Arnel!

[@raybanares1843]

Try ordering veggies like pinakbet, laing, ginataang langka

[@jennyoshea1958]

Aww Holly was brilliant trying all the food despite being reluctant to. I'm not keen on squid 🐙 however the other food looked delicious. Friendly staff too. Lovely seeing your niece. ☀️🌻☺️👒✨

[@ADayintheUK]

Nice one Jenny...although her name is Poppy haha ;)

[@jennyoshea1958]

@@ADayintheUK oh so sorry. It's my niece who is Holly 😂. Poppy is lovely, by the way; and a great sport. Look forward to your next venture.

[@pinoyislander4400]

Shrimp paste for me is an appetizer. I like most lechon kawale.

[@Windows2Life]

Don't be shy, just dig in and enjoy the food!

[@zzzzzsleeping]

You should visit the PHILIPPINES! Amazing islands Breathtaking beaches - turquoise ocean - waterfalls - rainforest as well as the greenery

[@ADayintheUK]

Sounds incredible, I hope too in the future!

[@jarenjackson7139]

Edna the owner real sweet lady so funny and wonderful interpreter and also good shaker and dancer

[@cheyfncvenconi6982]

use the spoon to scoop the rice instead of the fork

[@troyl8441]

Most Pinoys leaving abroad do not teach their children Pilipino; that is what i have noticed with all my friends living in the US and I hear their children complain “why did you not teach us Tagalog growing up.” Such a shame because they could have been bilingual.

[@NStalgia070]

Someone explained this a long time ago I can't remember where the article is but they said for Asians particularly Filipinos, it's a lot more important for them that their kids are able to blend in so they'll be prepared for later in life or something like that. I've noticed that too. A lot of my relatives speak English and Dutch/French/Spanish/German but extremely little to no Filipino.

[@piemiller4433]

That is such a shame because there is nothing as sweet as Pilipino dialects. Filipinos are the only Asian countries whose kids do not know their own Filipino language!

[@rodolfodelosreyes6314]

Happy Eating 👍🏻❤🇵🇭

[@ADayintheUK]

Cheers Rodolfo

[@noahpanuyass]

Always: the spoon is the vessel. The fork is only a support to get food to the spoon

[@pcsixty6]

that's why it's easy to mix all three in one serving. The egg is cut up and actually mixed with the rice like in egg fried rice

[@songd.k2011]

If shes a beef lover try beef kaldereta. and if she likes pork... pork adobo or chiken. and also sisig. 😍😍😍

[@ADayintheUK]

Thanks very much, I''ll let her know

[@contessaaves310]

I love that you tried using the fork & spoon to eat, but you just look awkward 🤣 you should use the spoon to scoop the rice , soup & any viand. And the fork is to push/bring the food to the spoon.

[@kllsw1tch729]

Kare-Kare is British by origin made in the Philippines by Sepoys-West indies company as a substitute for Indian Curry but the outcome was way different. 🤣

Thank you darling 🤟🏼

Hello new friend here watching from Toronto 🇨🇦.. coz it’s Pinoy Food 😍 🇵🇭 YT suggested your channel 😉 subscribe already 👍

[@ADayintheUK]

Hey thanks for the sub Cyndi ;)

[@gerrygatchalian8738]

Next time, use your fork to scoot all that goodness into your spoon. They should have given you the dipping sauce for the lechon to take the flavor to the next level.

[@ADayintheUK]

Thanks for the tip!

[@pawswhiskers1981]

Please use a wireless mic next time. I could barely hear you talking.

[@ADayintheUK]

Yeah I had a big problem in that cafe with noise...Mic update needed badly

[@pawswhiskers1981]

U should go to the Philippines now if u want your channel to explode. Filipinos will absolutely love u.

[@ADayintheUK]

For sure, I'd love too...I'll definitely do more filipino content in the future. More UK destinations to come first but looking fwd to getting to know the culture!

What!... that Squid is basically Calamari I can eat Calamari all day long the steak or tentacles

[@paololazaro6133]

🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@bashersbeware]

1. Salt and Pepper Squid isn't really Filipino. It's Chinese and the Chinese have a spiced sweet vinegar dip for it. Filipinos have a similar dish, we call it Calamares. We usually dip in a thousand island sauce. 2. The way we eat our food is a portion of rice and a portion of the viand (Ulam) then scoot them over using your fork onto your spoon. If there's a side dish like an egg or a vegetable, people either eat them separately after that scoop of rice and ulam, or eat altogether with the rice, ulam and a portion of the side dish. 3. Kare Kare definitely is a dish that got lost in translation. Supposed to be a curry dish but became totally different when the first few locals who had curry tried to recreate it. 4. Paksiw na Lechon basically is Adobo although more sour. Adobo, like Paksiw is a mode of cooking. To adobo a dish is to use soy sauce, vinegar and garlic. To Paksiw a dish is to cook mainly in vinegar and water.

[@ADayintheUK]

Great information, thanks very much!

[@davesalazar8532]

Kumusta is not hello. Kumusta is how are you. Hello is hello, we borrow that word.

[@ADayintheUK]

Thanks for the the correction Dave

[@SelwynClydeAlojipan]

Good vlog with your niece! Next time you pass by, ask if they have Bistek (beefsteak) Tagalog with lots of onions. That would be different but familiar and outstanding for your British palate. Ask also if they have Lumpiang Togue [tohw-geh], a fried spring roll containing mung bean sprouts and chopped vegetables. Dip it in spiced vinegar. Filipinos use different dipping sauces ("sawsawan" [sahw-sah-wan] for different dishes to have a flavor counterpoint like you had the "bagoong" [bah-goh-ong] shrimp paste on the "karekare" [kah-reh-ka-REH] (meat and vegetables cooked in peanut butter sauce). They should have given you Mang Tomas All-Around Sawsawan (sweet liver + breadcrumbs sauce) to match the Lechon Kawali (deep-fried pork belly slices). The Lechon Paksiw is actually made of Lechon (pork) slices stewed in a sweet vinegar sauce. When using the spoon and fork, you use the edge of the spoon to slice meat speared with the fork, and you load the spoon with mixed food bits using the fork, then bring the food to your mouth with spoon.

[@ADayintheUK]

Thanks very much Selwyn, I'm looking fwd to trying more. The Bistek sounds amazing!

[@nicerjoshsy7605]

You use the spoon and fork now but your using it not in there proper way..

[@philph3592]

When I eat Calamares (the squid dish you had), I dip in vinegar with pepper, garlic and a little bit of salt. Others dip it in mayonnaise with banana ketchup. But I guess you just don’t like the squid. 😀

[@ADayintheUK]

That sounds nice. No I'm not a fan of squid, but that banana ketchup sounds great!

[@religiondoesntpaytaxes7861]

Majority of Filipino immigrants doesn't teach their children Tagalog or any other Filipino languages because assimilation to Filipino immigrants is the equivalent of losing their Filipino culture and that includes the languages. Other than food, her son probably knows NOTHING ELSE about the Philippines. That's the truth. But in my opinion, knowing how to speak in another language is a skill and as people, we should all learn as many skills as possible.

[@melvinb9203]

You’re probably right. But you have to consider that it’s not easy to raise a child in a different country where people speak a different language than your native one. Im filipino but born and raised in Italy and, as I was growing up, my parents didn’t teach me Tagalog ‘cause it was better for me to learn Italian for school and social interactions with other kids. My parents still speak Tagalog at home and I’m able to understand them perfectly but when it comes to talk in Tagalog, man Im so bad at it hahaha But I guess it’s never too late to learn my native language ;)

[@tillyfreeman5192]

And by the way religious people pay taxes!

[@tillyfreeman5192]

Yeah there’s a lot of things to know about Philippines other than language. How about bullying others the toxic culture of being jealous about others and putting them down like crab mentality? How about throwing insults at someone when she’s different ? Experienced that in that awful country, our homes being burglarized three times and how about those men who are pervs and always have to make sexist comments to women! The rampant overcharging when an expat goes there and corruption. My white friends hate the toxic gossiping, nosiness and bullying culture. And don’t worry we won’t go back.

[@tillyfreeman5192]

And elder uneducated folks insulting their own nieces and nephews telling them their either too fat, too dark-skinned, too dumb and too un-Filipino. As if.

[@tillyfreeman5192]

I hate it when Filipino gets too involved with other people’s lives like how their kids are to be raised. Know it alls. It’s none of your business and just because the kids were not able to learn their mom’s or dad’s native dialect that doesn’t mean they hate to teach it. Kids get confused and can’t assimilate in school well if they speak another language other than English if they’re in English-speaking countries. There are times when they have to go to government agencies like get a driver’s license, ride buses etc and they have to know how to communicate and in English! Don’t be such a prude and be all patriotic when people have to adopt to the country they immigrated. Besides kids are kids. Who are you to judge people? You prolly judge those who became US citizens? Your Filipino attitude stinks in this case, rude and crass.
