Words to live by - "Mata(eyes) sa Langit (sky), Paa(feet) sa Lupa(land)"- Aim high but remain humble....I will definitely reserve one of my meals when I go there this month...
This is probably one of if not the best short documentary about a business owner that I have seen. Showed us his business, informed us about his roots, nationality, goals and still humble. Look at those genuine, happy workers.
That's simply because there is no Michelin Guide for the Philippines. And just throwing it out there, this restaurant star rating system, created by a company more than a century ago to increase its tire sales, is flipping overrated.
Just a reference for non Filipinos. “Bahay Kubo” does not translate as “a house with a garden”. Bahay Kubo is what we call our traditional Filipino Hut House. The song they were singing were about different types of vegetables in a “Bahay Kubo”.
Ang bahay kubo ay hindi tungkol lamang sa loob ng bahay kundi kasama ang labas ng bahay at buong nasasakupan nito. "Bahay kubo kahit munti, ang halaman doon ay sari sari". Parang bahay kubo sa gitna ng palayan. O bahay kubo sa gitna ng pala isdaan.
You’re right, it doesn’t translate to a house with a garden. But put into context, that translation isn’t so inaccurate. Bahay Kubo is generally associated with the province and agricultural areas. Typically, farms would have bahay kubos.
Bahay Kubo literally means hut. But the Bahay Kubo song means something more than the hut as it includes the entire garden and each vegetable in it. I hope they update the lyrics to include okra and ampalaya. Then add bagoong in the end so we now have Pakbet. 😅
Thank you so much for this uplifting and climate solutions storytelling. Please make this type of story blending the pleasure of great cuisine with reducing waste and growing food sustainably a regular feature.
The "Bahay Kubo" song is actually an instructional on what veggies to plant (in the PH climate) as the year/seasons progress/es, back when farms were biodiverse and not yet monocrop.
Recently, If you ask some Americans, Europeans, and other Asian countries, What's their favorite food? They would answer Filipino food... Filipino dishes are making big waves in the culinary industry .. Its really full of flavor and I cannot blame foodies for liking them..
All these "initiatives" won't make a dent in the waste problem. Congress needs to allow Waste-to-Energy Powerplants by amending the Clean Air Act which right now forbids burning any waste by any method. Not even medical incinerators are allowed. Waste-to-Energy can also lower electricity costs for the country, which are the highest in Southeast Asia.
"Bahay Kubo" means wooden hut, "house with a garden", though the song is basically about a house full with crops.... It's a nursery rhymes that every filipino knows.
I'm a professional translator and - if you knew anything about translating - you'd know that direct translation usually isn't the way to go. For example, in the video they say "Mata sa langit, paa sa lupa" which directly translates to "Eyes to the heavens, feet on the ground", but that doesn't really capture the essence of what the motto means. The correct translation (and the one they used) is "Dream high, but stay grounded". "Nipa hut" might be the direct translation of "bahay kubo", but for foreigners that don't know what a nipa hut is that translation doesn't do anything for them. What in the world is a nipa hut if you're someone from America or Europe? "Home with a garden" is something that people from all walks of life will understand, that's why that's the correct translation.
@@Soybomb05 but a bahay kubo does not necessarily have a garden. actually bahay kubos i've seen up north (Cordilleras) are in a village away from the fields and the gardens. it's probably the ones in the lowlands that have gardens around them.
@@oxoelfoxo Exactly, I suppose if I were to translate under the gaze of a certain demographic, I would reduce it to "house with a garden." Plus, it really means nipa hut or grass hut, unlike the direct translation as previously stated.
@@oxoelfoxo The term "kubo" is from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *kubu, "field hut [in rice fields]". You can see the similarities between "rice field" and "garden".

@@monkeyking4997 Let me correct my earlier post - he is referring to the Bahay Kubo, the dish. The vegetables inspired the song Bahay Kubo which in turn became the inspiration for the signature creation of the chef - the song in salad form.

Google Maps says this place is like just 100 feet from my old man's office and I've never even heard of it, despite being in the vicinity a handful of times. Street View shows it somewhere behind a bank, which I have seen from the street. I kinda know the neighborhood because I went to school there just a mile away. Talk about "niche" eh?
Sinuglaw started in CDO. And the Kinilaw version of Northern Mindanao - Region 10, including CDO, is way more yummy because of "Tabon-tabon" and "Biasong". Other regions in Pinas don't use "tabon-tabon" at all for their Kinilaw/Sinuglaw. Even friends of mine from Cebu see the difference of Kinilaw with and without "tabon-tabon".
Not good. I’ve been there and I didn’t like their presentation at all. I love Filipino cuisine! I thought they trying too hard to elevate Filipino dishes. I’d say leave it alone.
it has nothing to do in mentioning of his achievements did nothing beneficial to the informal settlers but just by exploiting them and using them as frontliners rubbish!
“Mata sa Langit, Paa sa Lupa” that’s one of the best motto I’ve ever heard. I got teary eyed there!

Toyo Eatery is just amazing ! Working to impact pressing environmental problems in the Philippines !!! Amazing Chef Jordy & his wife !!!

It baffles me why TOYO still doesn’t have a Michelin Star.
That's simply because there is no Michelin Guide for the Philippines.

As a culinary arts graduate it's thisss.. I hope this happens in my lifetime there's so much talent here in the Philippines...

I’ve never even heard of Toyo. Thanks
Tried their tasting Menu last May it’s so good!!
Thank you for introducing me and recognizing Toyo Eatery. First time hearing about them.
Toyo eatery is the best, watching this just makes me hungry again and remember the flavors of what i got last time.
Bahay kubo is equal to Nipa hut usually situated in a farm or vegetation land. It's a type of house.
❤❤❤❤❤The Best! God bless you for your earth 🌍 friendly advocacy
Mata (eyes) sa langit (towards the sky), paa (feet) sa lupa (on the ground). Dream high and stay humble.

Wow!! Congratulations Po!!!

Bahay Kubo does not mean "home with a garden." Direct translation would be house hut. But it really means Nipa Hut.
kubo has spanish roots in cubo or cube. literally a cube house

Bahay Kubo does not mean "home with a garden". HUT, Kubo means HUT. A bahay kubo is a simple hut with or without a garden.
He’s referring to the song, not the structure. The song about a house surrounded by different kinds of vegetables.

Never heard of this famous restaurant until now.

Street View shows it somewhere behind a bank, which I have seen from the street. I kinda know the neighborhood because I went to school there just a mile away. Talk about "niche" eh?
And this article says it's the "most famous."
Toyo's kinilaw is a must-try 👌
Okay
Sinuglaw started in CDO. And the Kinilaw version of Northern Mindanao - Region 10, including CDO, is way more yummy because of "Tabon-tabon" and "Biasong". Other regions in Pinas don't use "tabon-tabon" at all for their Kinilaw/Sinuglaw. Even friends of mine from Cebu see the difference of Kinilaw with and without "tabon-tabon".
Bahay kubo is Nipa Hut
How much is the food on average
I looked it up and the 8 course tasting menu is about 6000 pesos or about $100 per person.
@@Mark-wv2omabot kaya naman pala. Mg mang inasal nalang ako haha

I don't like pretentious overpriced food either.
Too expensive
