I love how the girls described the carne guisada as tasting like either menudo or kaldereta, thus fueling the never ending debate on what really makes the difference between menudo, kaldereta, afritada, and mechado 😅
basically, menudo, afritada & mechado are the same except for their meat contents. Menudo has chopped pork meat and some innards, Afritada has chicken, Mechado has beef. Caldereda has the basic sauce like the three but it's more spicy, and it can contain any kind of meat.
I used to work with a Filipino who would bring a big plate full of lumpias every time we had some kind of party. They always went really fast! Sooo good! 😋❤
In some places it's called the Filipino Crack. Imagine walking in a dark alley, and a Filipino guy in a trench coat will walk up to you. "Psst kid, wanna buy some Lumpia?"
That’s only half true. I think we all give the Spanish way too much credit. Even cuisines/culture that we all think of as Spanish came from the Moors. Puerto Ricans are mixed people and it’s your West African ancestors who are responsible for a lot of the culture. West Africans were linked with the Maritime Spice Trade via the Arab World the exact way the Moors were. Practices that link you to the rest of the world are from your W. African ancestors. Dishes that utilize roots and beans like black eyed peas are specifically W. African in origin. Even eating rice is W. African from Arabs. Otherwise Asian influences in the Caribbean are directly Indian/Chinese similar to the Philippines. We need to all stop giving Europeans all the credit...
Filipinos and Puerto Ricans have a lot in common and we admire the friendship that comes along with it. Whether it the people or it’s the food we love to showcase our food since both Philippines 🇵🇭 and Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 have Spanish influences.
I am a Filipina who grew up in a neighborhood mostly occupied by Puerto Ricans. So I had lots of arroz con gandules, pernil, and pastelillos in my youth. Our cuisine is very, very similar. Your video brings back those memories. Wish I had smell-a-vision.

I’m Puerto Rican and Filipino. I’ve had both types of food! Glad you guys made a video on it. The cooking is very similar except Filipino cuisine uses more vinegar.
frankly, I thought this was a Filipino YT channel bc of the name. Filipinos are used to mixing words in Filipino and English, and one of the phrases we’ve come up is “pero like” which means “but like” in English. Common among those who speak more English than Filipino. Anyway this is great! I’m glad you’re getting a taste of our local cuisine ✨ hoping to visit Puerto Rico as well :)
Yup. I'm Viet American born and raised in Orange County, California about 45 minutes from BuzzFeed's LA location, and EVERY Vietnamese grocery store will carry coco Rico for thit kho. I've actually never really heard of anyone drinking it as I've always associated it with being poured into the dish.
Yeah actually I was wondering about that. I live by the bay, I’m puerto rican, and when I saw coco rico in an asian market I was so excited and confused lol
@@Username-le4eq thit is general term for meat, kho means a stew, but it's not exactly a soup or a stew. It's more of a caramelized meat dish with boiled eggs added, however you can also make ca kho, which substitutes the meat (usually pork belly) with fish - though this version typically doesn't come with eggs.

I had a Filipino co-worker and we used to do this all the time. We concluded that the Philippines is Latin America in Asia 😂 Like the dishes we share a protein with a very similar, but with an asian twist to them.

White/Puerto Rican here. This may explain why I like drinking coconut water straight without mixing anything into it. I'd probably love that soda. I'm in the US and have never had the pleasure of going back to my roots, but maybe one day. I have cousins, and probably great aunts and uncles over there I've never met.
What cracks me up the most is that the Guy asked why she is eating with a spoon 😂 BTW eating whilst just using a Spoon and a Fork is commonplace here in the philippines. It's just normal for us to eat that way. If going to someone's house it's already a guarantee that you'd only see Spoons and Fork, I'd even bet all my savings that you'd only be served with a Spoon and Fork when eating.
I'm Filipino American and have a huge interest in both Filipino and Latin cuisine. Off the top of my head, kaldereta/mechado/menudo/afritada is very similar in style to carne guisada, ropa vieja, carne mechada,. Filipino tamale looks very similar to pasteles (but the Filipino version uses rice flour in place of cassava/malanga/plantain), empanada is similar to empanadillas (also picadillo/giniling and carne molida), both have a fried corned beef hash dish, also bistek and bistec encebollado 😋
🇵🇭 I was watching and enjoying this video, but then suddenly at around 5:25 the Philippine national flag was shown and displayed vertically with the crimson red banner on the left of the video while the Philippines is currently in a state of peace and hopefully still in a state of peace in the future. ... Me (a Filipino): 😲 Oh no! ✌🏼😄🇵🇭
Me gustó que mostraran la carne guisada, normalmente se ve mucha comida criolla frita de PR en los videos de youtube, pero hay un montón de recetas criollas en el país que se comen que no son frituras, y merecen atención😀
When the filipinos said the taste of the dish is same as menudo and kaldereta they basically means the same. Because those dishes has very similar in cooking process, tomato based sauce and ingredients the only difference is the meat. Menudo use pork, Kaldereta use goat meat. There are also Afritada that use chicken and Mechado that use beef.
Growing up in a Filipino family in SoCal, I was always finding the CocoRico soda in various Asian markets. My parents even remembered a jingle from a commercial for CocoRico
By watching this video i think theres a lot of similarities about the ph and other latin countries that is us due to colonization as a filipino i feel more connected to them than other asian countries
As a Puerto Rican I would be very interested in trying The Filipino Lechon. I'm so curious about the flavor because it look the same but I'm sure the taste may have variations. I wonder if it has the same spices or the same crisp of the pork skin.
Any Latinos that visit the Philippines will see the heavy Spanish influence, not just in the culture, food and language, but just how people behave. Most Asians are typically pretty reserved, very quiet and conservative. Filipinos are the complete opposite and more similar to Latin Americans in that they are extremely extroverted, love to dance, sing, are very social and love to joke around with foreigners. DJaying, breakdancing, hip hop and basketball are huge there. It feels much more like Mexico or a Central American country than a typical Asian country.
@Damen Rex Philippines is culturally nothing like Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore though. Those countries have heavy Chinese or Indian influence, which the Philippines doesn't have. Jakarta and KL are also primarily Muslim, which is rare in the Philippines. Bali is Hindu. Singapore is primarily Chinese with some Indian and a few Malay. It is also highly developed and more like any East Asian country. It's nothing like the Philippines. It's not simply the religion in the Philippines that comes from Spain. It's present everywhere - the language, food, traditional clothing, architecture, culture, activities etc. Mexico is more similar to the Philippines than Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore. I am only talking about the culture, not the people, of course we're still Southeast Asian but we were under Spanish rule for 333 years and that has altered our culture.
@@kayflip2233 theres a lot of chinese influence in filipino culture, language, and food too brought in from traders and immigrants mainly from the Fujian province (like in this video alone, lumpia is literally from chinese), while Philippines starts to resemble an Indonesian province in a lot of ways the further south you go As for indian influence, you'll only really find it in studies of precolonial animism, as well as certain loan vocabulary (eg.gulay, tupa) and our rice desserts (eg. puto) Im not saying we don't have _any_ Spanish/LatAm traits, but that more often than not alot of people when they mention this, they (unintentionally or not) also understate our Asianess and not giving it the proper credit due in forming Filipino culture and identity
Filipino flag has resemblance with latin flag like puertorico because when it was made we we're part of Hispaniola and many Filipino would be transported from asia to latin america like puertorico. Also my fiance is Puertorican 😁🇵🇭🇵🇷❤️❤️❤️
Although the Philippines is geographically/ethnically Indo-Polynesian, I feel as if the Philippines has no "neighbor" to relate with on the subject of Spanish culture. I'm just as much related to any Spanish speaking Latino as I would be with Indonesians or Malaysians.
Christian Filipino can relate to Chamoro people from Guam they are Austronesian and also have spanish names. Muslim Filipino can relate to Indonesian & Malaysian.
Bacalaito sounds like bacalao dish we make in Cavite City. Ours is also dried cod but its not fried. Its cooked like menudo with garbanzo and served with rice.
It's interesting to see, over and over, how the legacy of Spain's colonial dominance so often involves people from opposite hemispheres saying: "Hey, our cultures have so many similarities, it's like we're long-lost cousins! And also, @#%! you, conquistadors!"
I'm not sure if Lumpia seasoning has anything to do with the Spaniards? it's literally just ground pork with minced garlic, onions, carrots, turnips, celery or cilantro, powdered black pepper, salt, soy sauce, wrapped in rice paper and fried. I honestly don't see any "Spanish influence" on Lumpia at all.
@@dayangmarikit6860 wrapped in rice paper? lumpia wrapper is made from flour and cornstarch, they're quite different. I won't say they look like egg rolls cause they are thicker and rice paper is much thinner and transparent compared to lumpia's translucent nature. It is made with ground pork, minced garlic, carrots, ground black pepper, salt, and soy sauce (not sure about turnips, celery, or cilantro, you might be misremembering or have a different recipe but all Lumpia I've had never had any of those and I'm filipino, born and raised) but you can't rule out that over time the "traditional" recipe for what was once Chinese has developed to include our own "filipino" mix, which includes a Spanish influence. Secondly despite being inspired from a different culinary culture, it still may appeal to those of a different culinary culture, for example: the use of garlic. Garlic is a big thing in Spanish cuisine as well.
No no no !!! There's a big need of a 2nd episode of this video !!! How can you leave out mofongo and coquito out ???? Please make a video with those included, PLEASE ! Coquito is the BOMB !!!!
This was a good video for people in Hawaii because you can do this swap At a typical party in Hawaii because a lot of Puerto Ricans married Filipinos because they were both catholic in the plantation days and because Filipino people also have Spanish names the last names are so similar like for example if your a Gonzalez Perez in Puerto Rico and both you’re parents are puertorican! You could be from Hawaii and be a Rodriguez Rivera and have a Filipino mother and a Puerto Rican father lol .
There are amor of Puerto Ricans on Hawaii I assume at this point they would be considered Hawaiian due to it being a couple air generations since migration but they did take many customs with them to Hawaii
bacalaito is like a similar dish in the Philippines called tortang isda isda means fish its very similar but we use anchovies instead of cod and we dont grate it and we sometimes use eggs or like combine both eggs and flour and we dont only stop there sometimes we make torta out of shrimps which is featured in the video called okoy and vegetables such as kangkong eggplants and more
Puerto Ricans don’t really grate it either lol It was a wrong choice of words. Mostly, we flake the fish off with a fork or hands. It’s very easy to make! Highly recommend trying it hot and crispy 😋
Filipino food is soo flavorful! Their lechón is similar to ours (🇵🇷). I think the main dish should have been arroz con gandules y pernil or mofongo. I don’t think of PR when I see carne guisada.
I have to admit that their Lechón is better than our PR lechón. I have a vacation house in the Philippines, and have tried their lechón there. Even the places near where I live (Vacaville California), are better than PR.
I think that was purposeful because a lot of Filipino dishes are stew like and carne guisada is similar. Arroz con gandules is similar to Nigerian rice jollof.
Just sharing my thoughts. Rice and bananas originated in Asia and it was probably brought in the Americas by Filipinos via the Manila Acapulco Galleon trade. As far as I know, based on the information available on the internet, dishes with rice and bananas didn't exist in the Americas before the Spanish colonization. Spain colonized the Philippines and the Americas at the same time.
I think rice is already a staple in Spain even before the conquest. The rice that the Spaniards use are actually from Arabs and Spain was once an Arab civilization for at least a thousand years. I dont know about the bananas though but it is believed that eating squid ink originated from the locals in the islands of the Philippines. The practice was then brought to Europe and Italy learned the consumption of squid ink from the Spaniards. A practice that they learned from the pacific islands of the Philippines
@@bihapi Filipinos came before Polynesians. Filipinos were the first Asian Americans in the USA. Look up the history of Austronesians so you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Some people too actually, that's why some Mexicans looks like Asians so It's kinda funny how they're saying that Filipinos are water Mexicans or something when historically, those people came from us
@@sagisag-panulat Mexicans didn't come from Filipinos but rather we all came from the same race! We all came from the Mongoloid (btw scientific name of the race, not to be used in an offensive manner) which then migrated through Russia and into Alaska, then they went down and after that through thousands of years, the people adapted to the climate of Latin America Mongoloids also migrated down to Southeast Asia, settling in Formosa (known today as Taiwan) spent a thousand years adapting to the climate AND THEN they migrated to the Philippines and to the rest of Southeast Asia, Madagascar and the Pacific The more indigenous the Mexican, the less mixed they are then the more Southeast Asian they'd look and again this is because of the climate and our origin We are all just Mongoloids who migrated and adapted to similar climates, we didn't come from eachother.
We have that balacaito as well, but we use small fish or small shrimp (I forget the name of the small fish) we put it in flour and deep fried we call it "Okoy"
Filipino versions of, I suppose, Hispanic dishes (e.g. kaldereta, menudo, afritada, mechado... etc. because they all sound Spanish) taste very similar. There was a time where I thought the only difference among these dishes is the spelling XD So I'm not surprised one said menudo, the other kaldereta. Though to us, they're all tomato-based dishes, with a little difference on one ingredient (slightly perceived though) like mechado is a bit sour (because of lemon or vinegar), menudo is a bit sweet (because of raisins, and the ingredients are diced to bring out the flavor more perhaps. Also, they use ground meat), afritada is the most basic, and kaldereta is a bit spicy and thick, if I'm not mistaken, because of liver spread, not sure. I don't cook but my best friend told me lol. I love all of them though.

Ok here is the thing menudo is so different even in Latino america,we call menudos de pollo that means the feet the throat the mollejas the heart liver but it doesn't contain any legs or wings menudo is what is left of the pollo,and guisado here in my country is picadillo you chop potatoes chayote with carrots cilantro all in a hot pot with or without tomato sauce

What cracks me up the most is that the Guy asked why she is eating with a spoon 😂 BTW eating whilst just using a Spoon and a Fork is commonplace here in the philippines. It's just normal for us to eat that way. If going to someone's house it's already a guarantee that you'd only see Spoons and Fork, I'd even bet all my savings that you'd only be served with a Spoon and Fork when eating.
I'm Filipino American and have a huge interest in both Filipino and Latin cuisine. Off the top of my head, kaldereta/mechado/menudo/afritada is very similar in style to carne guisada, ropa vieja, carne mechada,. Filipino tamale looks very similar to pasteles (but the Filipino version uses rice flour in place of cassava/malanga/plantain), empanada is similar to empanadillas (also picadillo/giniling and carne molida), both have a fried corned beef hash dish, also bistek and bistec encebollado 😋
I'm Filipino 🇵🇭 but when I'm in New York I'm Puerto Rican. 🇵🇷 😁😂 True story.👍🏽
Lmaooo 😂😂😂
I didn’t realize the spoon and fork was a filipino thing 💀 but now thinking about it does make sense as we eat a lot of rice with our foods.
🇵🇭 I was watching and enjoying this video, but then suddenly at around 5:25 the Philippine national flag was shown and displayed vertically with the crimson red banner on the left of the video while the Philippines is currently in a state of peace and hopefully still in a state of peace in the future.
...
Me (a Filipino): 😲 Oh no!
✌🏼😄🇵🇭
I did enjoy the video but I was bothered as well...
Ow no we are at war...joke
Me gustó que mostraran la carne guisada, normalmente se ve mucha comida criolla frita de PR en los videos de youtube, pero hay un montón de recetas criollas en el país que se comen que no son frituras, y merecen atención😀
beautiful hispanic connection between two countries.
Your not Hispanic anymore your Americans
I enjoyed this video! The guests were so candid and honest. The food really are similar.hahahaha
When the filipinos said the taste of the dish is same as menudo and kaldereta they basically means the same. Because those dishes has very similar in cooking process, tomato based sauce and ingredients the only difference is the meat. Menudo use pork, Kaldereta use goat meat. There are also Afritada that use chicken and Mechado that use beef.
Yes i am from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I would love to to try Philadelphia food
I love this so much cuz I’m Filipino and my husband is Puerto Rican 💙❤️
Growing up in a Filipino family in SoCal, I was always finding the CocoRico soda in various Asian markets. My parents even remembered a jingle from a commercial for CocoRico
I’m Boricua, Wife is Filipina.
Many of our dishes are similar , and Filipino dishes are way better than ours.
Boricua? From which country are you?

By watching this video i think theres a lot of similarities about the ph and other latin countries that is us due to colonization as a filipino i feel more connected to them than other asian countries
As a Puerto Rican I would be very interested in trying The Filipino Lechon. I'm so curious about the flavor because it look the same but I'm sure the taste may have variations. I wonder if it has the same spices or the same crisp of the pork skin.
Love this! Now I am hungry. The filipino store near my house carried that Coco soda. My parents would only buy it as a treat for us.
Yep, we don't use chopsticks much unless we eat at Japanese, Korean, Chinese restuarants 😅
Any Latinos that visit the Philippines will see the heavy Spanish influence, not just in the culture, food and language, but just how people behave. Most Asians are typically pretty reserved, very quiet and conservative. Filipinos are the complete opposite and more similar to Latin Americans in that they are extremely extroverted, love to dance, sing, are very social and love to joke around with foreigners. DJaying, breakdancing, hip hop and basketball are huge there. It feels much more like Mexico or a Central American country than a typical Asian country.
@Damen Rex Philippines is culturally nothing like Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore though. Those countries have heavy Chinese or Indian influence, which the Philippines doesn't have. Jakarta and KL are also primarily Muslim, which is rare in the Philippines. Bali is Hindu. Singapore is primarily Chinese with some Indian and a few Malay. It is also highly developed and more like any East Asian country. It's nothing like the Philippines. It's not simply the religion in the Philippines that comes from Spain. It's present everywhere - the language, food, traditional clothing, architecture, culture, activities etc. Mexico is more similar to the Philippines than Indonesia, Malaysia or Singapore. I am only talking about the culture, not the people, of course we're still Southeast Asian but we were under Spanish rule for 333 years and that has altered our culture.
@@kayflip2233 theres a lot of chinese influence in filipino culture, language, and food too brought in from traders and immigrants mainly from the Fujian province (like in this video alone, lumpia is literally from chinese), while Philippines starts to resemble an Indonesian province in a lot of ways the further south you go
As for indian influence, you'll only really find it in studies of precolonial animism, as well as certain loan vocabulary (eg.gulay, tupa) and our rice desserts (eg. puto)
Im not saying we don't have _any_ Spanish/LatAm traits, but that more often than not alot of people when they mention this, they (unintentionally or not) also understate our Asianess and not giving it the proper credit due in forming Filipino culture and identity
@@zaqareemalcolm compared to the rest of Asia and Southeast Asia, Philippines has the least Chinese influence.
@@kayflip2233 debatable because east timor exists, but also that isn't the same as insignificant or none at all either
Your not Spanish
Me encantó este video. Ya sé que puedo ir para Filipinas porque de hambre no me muero lol
Filipino flag has resemblance with latin flag like puertorico because when it was made we we're part of Hispaniola and many Filipino would be transported from asia to latin america like puertorico. Also my fiance is Puertorican 😁🇵🇭🇵🇷❤️❤️❤️
Although the Philippines is geographically/ethnically Indo-Polynesian, I feel as if the Philippines has no "neighbor" to relate with on the subject of Spanish culture. I'm just as much related to any Spanish speaking Latino as I would be with Indonesians or Malaysians.
Timor Leste can be, considering that they were conquered by the Portuguese.
What is Indo-Polynesian? I only know Austronesian (Malayo-Polynesian)
truth!
Christian Filipino can relate to Chamoro people from Guam they are Austronesian and also have spanish names.
Muslim Filipino can relate to Indonesian & Malaysian.
Hmmm. Maybe if you are from Luzon or the Vizayas but I think the people from Mindanao can relate to Indonesians or Malaysians.
Necesito más videos like ito. Jaja. Sana en el futuro gumawa pa ustedes ng videos como así. Un abrazo fuerte desde Filipinas! 😊😁 🇵🇭
This is so awesome. Proud Puerto Rican here.
Bacalaito sounds like bacalao dish we make in Cavite City. Ours is also dried cod but its not fried. Its cooked like menudo with garbanzo and served with rice.
Traditional Filipinos enjoy eating our meals with our hands as well ☺️
Everyone eats with their hands. Dont assume you are very special. As your former Miss Universe once said “Why do you eat with your feet?”
@@eduardochavacano No she was asked "why do you eat with your hands" in which she responded with "what do you want us to do? Eat with our feet?"
It's interesting to see, over and over, how the legacy of Spain's colonial dominance so often involves people from opposite hemispheres saying: "Hey, our cultures have so many similarities, it's like we're long-lost cousins! And also, @#%! you, conquistadors!"
I'm not sure if Lumpia seasoning has anything to do with the Spaniards?
it's literally just ground pork with minced garlic, onions, carrots, turnips, celery or cilantro, powdered black pepper, salt, soy sauce, wrapped in rice paper and fried.
I honestly don't see any "Spanish influence" on Lumpia at all.
@@dayangmarikit6860 lumpia is a asian food...he/she just saying that cultures have so many similarities
@@dayangmarikit6860 Yes because lumpia was brought by the Chinese immigrants from Guangzhou and Fujian province
@@dayangmarikit6860 wrapped in rice paper? lumpia wrapper is made from flour and cornstarch, they're quite different. I won't say they look like egg rolls cause they are thicker and rice paper is much thinner and transparent compared to lumpia's translucent nature.
It is made with ground pork, minced garlic, carrots, ground black pepper, salt, and soy sauce (not sure about turnips, celery, or cilantro, you might be misremembering or have a different recipe but all Lumpia I've had never had any of those and I'm filipino, born and raised) but you can't rule out that over time the "traditional" recipe for what was once Chinese has developed to include our own "filipino" mix, which includes a Spanish influence.
Secondly despite being inspired from a different culinary culture, it still may appeal to those of a different culinary culture, for example: the use of garlic. Garlic is a big thing in Spanish cuisine as well.
@@mikesoria3418 Maybe modern ones in super markets, in my province they make lumpia wrappers in the local market.
No no no !!! There's a big need of a 2nd episode of this video !!! How can you leave out mofongo and coquito out ???? Please make a video with those included, PLEASE ! Coquito is the BOMB !!!!

They first tandem have very good chemistry 😍 bagay sila
Fun fact: Puerto Rico and the Philippines both got annexed by the USA at the same time.
Yup via Treaty of Paris (1898)
Also Cuba got independence from Spain
And that makes Puerto Rico and Philippines not Spanish countries until given back for now your Americans
This was a good video for people in Hawaii because you can do this swap
At a typical party in Hawaii because a lot of Puerto Ricans married Filipinos because they were both catholic in the plantation days and because Filipino people also have Spanish names the last names are so similar like for example if your a Gonzalez Perez in
Puerto Rico and both you’re parents are puertorican! You could be from Hawaii and be a Rodriguez Rivera and have a Filipino mother and a Puerto Rican father lol .
There are amor of Puerto Ricans on Hawaii I assume at this point they would be considered Hawaiian due to it being a couple air generations since migration but they did take many customs with them to Hawaii
@@CharletteG in Hawaii you are considered Hawaiian if you actually have Polynesian blood and ancestry.
I definitely wanna see a Dominican and Filipino food swap now😍😍
Filipino are one of the most down to earth people I have ever met, my cousins.
It makes me so happy that Pero Like is back!!! Wth y'all where you been?
bacalaito is like a similar dish in the Philippines called tortang isda isda means fish its very similar but we use anchovies instead of cod and we dont grate it and we sometimes use eggs or like combine both eggs and flour and we dont only stop there sometimes we make torta out of shrimps which is featured in the video called okoy and vegetables such as kangkong eggplants and more
Puerto Ricans don’t really grate it either lol It was a wrong choice of words. Mostly, we flake the fish off with a fork or hands. It’s very easy to make! Highly recommend trying it hot and crispy 😋
Both looks so yummy 😋 omg I wish I can find a good restaurant from Philippine and Puerto Rico
My daughter is filipino and Puerto Rican
Filipino food is soo flavorful! Their lechón is similar to ours (🇵🇷). I think the main dish should have been arroz con gandules y pernil or mofongo. I don’t think of PR when I see carne guisada.
I have to admit that their Lechón is better than our PR lechón.
I have a vacation house in the Philippines, and have tried their lechón there.
Even the places near where I live (Vacaville California), are better than PR.
I wanna try lechón from other countries too! And other similar dishes like Empanadas and etc. I'm curious how they actually are similar to one other.
I think that was purposeful because a lot of Filipino dishes are stew like and carne guisada is similar. Arroz con gandules is similar to Nigerian rice jollof.
Arroz con gandules is similar to our filipino arroz a la valenciana
@@Dangic23 Try babi guling (suckling pig) in Bali. It's even better than Filipino lechon and I'm Filipino.
love to puerto rico brothers and sisters from ph
ivan is cute and he look so fun to be with.🥰
Just sharing my thoughts. Rice and bananas originated in Asia and it was probably brought in the Americas by Filipinos via the Manila Acapulco Galleon trade. As far as I know, based on the information available on the internet, dishes with rice and bananas didn't exist in the Americas before the Spanish colonization. Spain colonized the Philippines and the Americas at the same time.
I think rice is already a staple in Spain even before the conquest. The rice that the Spaniards use are actually from Arabs and Spain was once an Arab civilization for at least a thousand years. I dont know about the bananas though but it is believed that eating squid ink originated from the locals in the islands of the Philippines. The practice was then brought to Europe and Italy learned the consumption of squid ink from the Spaniards. A practice that they learned from the pacific islands of the Philippines
@@bihapi Filipinos came before Polynesians. Filipinos were the first Asian Americans in the USA. Look up the history of Austronesians so you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Also coconuts and carabao mango/Philippine mango that's called Manila mangoe in Mexico?? not sure tho
Some people too actually, that's why some Mexicans looks like Asians so It's kinda funny how they're saying that Filipinos are water Mexicans or something when historically, those people came from us
@@sagisag-panulat Mexicans didn't come from Filipinos but rather we all came from the same race!
We all came from the Mongoloid (btw scientific name of the race, not to be used in an offensive manner) which then migrated through Russia and into Alaska, then they went down and after that through thousands of years, the people adapted to the climate of Latin America
Mongoloids also migrated down to Southeast Asia, settling in Formosa (known today as Taiwan) spent a thousand years adapting to the climate AND THEN they migrated to the Philippines and to the rest of Southeast Asia, Madagascar and the Pacific
The more indigenous the Mexican, the less mixed they are then the more Southeast Asian they'd look and again this is because of the climate and our origin
We are all just Mongoloids who migrated and adapted to similar climates, we didn't come from eachother.
Their energies are just immaculate!
interesting, not just the food, the landscape, but the flags look similar too (the triangle, the stars, then the stripes)
We have that balacaito as well, but we use small fish or small shrimp (I forget the name of the small fish) we put it in flour and deep fried we call it "Okoy"
Adobo is good but I think we all should spread Sinigang more! That’s my fave
Filipino versions of, I suppose, Hispanic dishes (e.g. kaldereta, menudo, afritada, mechado... etc. because they all sound Spanish) taste very similar. There was a time where I thought the only difference among these dishes is the spelling XD So I'm not surprised one said menudo, the other kaldereta. Though to us, they're all tomato-based dishes, with a little difference on one ingredient (slightly perceived though) like mechado is a bit sour (because of lemon or vinegar), menudo is a bit sweet (because of raisins, and the ingredients are diced to bring out the flavor more perhaps. Also, they use ground meat), afritada is the most basic, and kaldereta is a bit spicy and thick, if I'm not mistaken, because of liver spread, not sure. I don't cook but my best friend told me lol. I love all of them though.
To me, they all look the same. Until someone points out which is which.
@@girlsquad224 you can easily tell by the meat used and how the meat was cut.
This deserves more views. Where my Filipinos at?
Fun Fact: the Puerto Rican flag was one of the design inspiration of the Philippine flag.

This is from the Official Gazette of the Philippines
the Philippine flag has roots in the flag family to which it belongs-that of the last group of colonies that sought independence from the Spanish Empire at the close of the 19th century, a group to which the Philippines belongs. (This include the flags of Cuba and Puerto Rico)

looks like im going to PR in the future
American-Puerto Rican actress and singer Jennifer López said on an interview that Lumpia is her favourite Filipino food because JLo was married to a half Filipino-American but got divorced..
It’s the same in many ways. Spanish colonists left their impression.
Puerto Ricans and Filipinos aren't Spanish because they didn't get independence from Spain
In 1898, The Philippines and Puerto Rico changed hands from Spain to the US. (Along with Cuba and Guam)
Cuba got independence from Spain idiot
@@familyandfriends3519 look up the history. It was under US occupation immediately after 1898. It was under US Occupation another one or two times after that.
The Cuban constitution also stated that the US can intervene to establish order whenever necessary. It’s in US history textbooks. Further, there are political cartoons from around 1900 about the US and its new “possessions” including Hawaii, PR, Cuba.
@@TheJayaldae occupation only even treaty of Paris states that in the wiki that the treaty provided the independence of Cuba from Spain even search it on Google who did Cuba get independence from the answer it will give you is Spain Haiti was under USA occupation for almost a decade but it was not colonized same with Cuba it was protected by USA since if Spain wanted to take Cuba's independence away again USA will be there to defend it yet again similar to Uruguay after independence from Spain in 1811 they were invaded by Brazil Since Spain left anyways even searching the decolonization of the Americas it States that Cuba got independence from Spain the wiki of Cuba also states Cuba achieved independence from Spain in 1898 even search the USA second occupation of Cuba it states that the second occupation of Cuba occured years after Cuba declared independence from the Spanish empire also in gerogaphy now in the Spain video they say Cuba was the last Spanish colony in America referring to the Americas to gain independence from Spain
@@TheJayaldae the cartoon can also be misleading it was controlled but not colonized yet again bringing up Haiti
Can't go wrong with those foods. Good stuff.
The second Meal that they served is like KALDERETA a beef stew as what she describe and said in the ingredient.
Or pochero
Ok here is the thing menudo is so different even in Latino america,we call menudos de pollo that means the feet the throat the mollejas the heart liver but it doesn't contain any legs or wings menudo is what is left of the pollo,and guisado here in my country is picadillo you chop potatoes chayote with carrots cilantro all in a hot pot with or without tomato sauce
I love lumpia specially the pescada or lumpiang isda,I wanna try the cod fish since that reminds me of tortang dilis or okoy yum yum.
I prefer my lumpia dipped in “tuba” vinegar with crushed garlic, pepper corns & rock sugar. 😋😋😋
Damn. You are elite.
This was great!!! Now I'm hungry though
tbf Menudo and Kaldereta kinda taste alike but Kalderatas slightly spicy/smoky sometimes
Kaldereta is mostly beef. I have never eaten a caldereta made of pork or chicken. If it's chicken, I call it as afritada.

We have something similar to the bacalito, but instead of bacalao which would be expensive here for us we use bolinao (anchioves)
Am from the Philippines and the Bacalaito Its look similar That My dad cooks When it's Sunday (I forgot what it's called), It's has Flour, Small Fishs (that idk what the name is) , and some Sisoning. It's really similar 🤔
bacalaito is beach food... you find AROUND the island
