[@ryanjuguilon213]

Should be tamarind not that shitty mix. But it works great with fatty meat as the sourness balances the fatty pork. And the rice mellows the sourness

[@angelsam0629]

With your "puto" it's actually putubombong made of sticky rice and it's being cooked steamed with margarine, and it's served with shredded coconut meat and sugar. With sisig - it's supposed to be spicy not sure where you bought it but it did not justify the taste. Kalamansi is a smaller version or kinda family of lemon, it's best served on a sizzling plate with fresh drop egg. Sinigang original recipe is you have to boil the unriped tamarind or the leaf will do as well then strained it then boil the pork on it. It is being served with rice as well. Hope this helps😊

sisig is the fakest of all Filipino Food that was hype in social media. 99% of Sisig sold in bars and restaurant is just minced fried pork slapped with something that 97% do not eat, Raw Egg. Also who needs Mayonaise on fried pork, absolutely no from Europe or anyone with good taste.

[@jakeramirez273]

taste is subjective. not because you liked it means others should. Stop with your nonsense.

[@thepinoychoppingboard1012]

​@@jakeramirez273 Sisig is actually like lumpiang Shanghai, an instant favorite for first timer if well prepared. The sisig here doesn't look tasty and appetizing at all. It looks cold which is supposed to be eaten while it's hot, hence best served in sizzling plate tops with an egg and a drizzle of calamansi juice.

[@jonestraloma]

That sisig looked dry and not creamy at all like the real sisig in pampanga.

[@balinesecat54]

Pork Sisig is really meant to be served on a sizzling hot plate , it is usually served with a raw egg in the middle . The hot plate keeps the whole dish really warm. It is usually served with small slices of chili pepper and a sliced wedge of calamansi , which our version of lemon / lime citrus taste. You just take a spoon and slowly mix everything together. A glass of beer is the beverage of choice to go with this dish.

[@rydellgarcia]

[@storm6245]

Love the open-mindedness in trying new food! Just some facts about the food yall tried: 1. The first dip was not just 'Lechon' it was 'Lechon Kawali' bcs Lechon by itself is a different dish. 2. The second dish as well was not just 'Puto' it was 'Puto Bumbong' bcs Puto is another different rice cake desert. 3. The shrimp paste with the Kare-kare is pronounced in 3 syllabes as 'Ba-gouh-ong.'

[@SeaKrait571]

Puto bumbong usually has margarine or butter and served with brown sugar and grated coconut. Offal consist of internal organs, usually intestines and liver in Dinuguan, which can also include regular pork meat. Jowl is the pig cheeks down to the jaws. Calamansi is Philippine lime and it tastes like lime with orange.

[@gigigavino-punsalang7400]

Hindi naman ganun ang puto. Kung ipapakain sa ibang lahi,wag mag-deviate sa original na lasa at itsura. Madalas pag nakabalot sa dahon ng saging,suman ang tawag.

Puto is made from white glutenous rice, and steamed until fluffy. Sometimes, it has melted edam cheese on top, and sometimes it has meat inside. It's always paired with Dinuguan, pork blood stew. Puto Bumbong is what you tried, is also steamed but it's made from purple heirloom glutenous rice. They are ground into powder, mixed with coconut milk, and steamed in bamboo, hence the bumbong in the name. They are served in banana leaves, spread with margarine, and sprinkled sugar on top with coconut flakes.

[@alexsura2168]

I never had puto bongbong at all so I wouldn't know how what to say about it. But should try muron from samar eastern visaya region.

3:40, It's not a strand of hair, instead it is a strand piece of the fruit called jackfruit, which is one of the main ingredients of the Halo-halo.

[@BLaCkKsHeEp]

for dinuguan, you gotta mix it with rice to cut some of the more intense flavors. for pancit palabok, you gotta drip a bit of fish sauce in there and top it off with crushed chicharon. for sisig, you can actually make that into a taco, best served on a sizzling hot cast iron plate. crack a raw egg on top, add more chili and squeeze a lemon (or a calamansi) and its good. sinigang, needs to be mixed with rice, add a dash of fish sauce in the soup for that extra kick. balut is best served hot, sprinkle salt. can also add vinegar.

[@asianaalvarez]

Im a soup lover and Sinigang is my favorite Filipino dish of all time .

I think they should've done some research of the dishes they ate before giving their comments. the purple dessert is not just puto but PUTO BUNGBONG. aside from shaved coconut, there should be brown sugar and melted butter. for the balut, the white part surrounding the baby duck didn't need to be removed. still a good watch!

that's not puto, it's "PUTO BUMBONG" a traditional Christmas dessert sold in the streets.. puto is usually shaped like a cupcake/muffin that's made of rice flour sometimes topped with cheese or salted egg and is commonly paired with dinuguan (pork blood stew)

Half Filipino here. I love the video. I only have a few things to say. First is that Filipino desserts tend to be a lot less sweet than western ones which is typical of Eastern Asian in general. It's why you see things like red bean paste being used in desserts because beans do have a subtle sweetness to them but in the west we associate that with savory dishes which doesn't help. Second is very simple. Dinuguan and Sinigang are both usually eaten with rice, in my experience. Third, I've never heard of people peeling away the rest of what's inside of the egg to have just the duck embryo in Balut. What I've been told is that you put a little vinegar and maybe some chili sauce into the 'soup' before drinking it and then you eat the rest. I've only had it once in my life so I might be wrong but I don't imagine Filipinos wasting the rest of the egg just to have the embryo.

THANK YOU! FOR TESTING OUR FILIPINO DISH

Me and my friends eat balut or quek-quek after gym for protein because it's cheaper than the shakes. I also have a personal lifehack that if there is left-over sisig or adobo, we get the lumpia wrappers and turn them to lumpiang shanghai filling.
