Awesome to be in this video with y'all. Hope everyone enjoys it! Also I meant to say Taro and Ube are pretty much the same, when it comes to taste (in dessert form), not the same thing as in ube comes from taro! Mybbad!
AJ Rafael, thank you for this video! So much nice whiles with people, nice video! I offering you my channel on YTbe is "Darja Hlouskova" my Gmail is.dada.klucka@gmail.com. I sing with joy and i compose a songs with joy! Offering you-if you will be to want! With friendly greeting! So much happiness and much nice whiles with you friends!
I was wondering yesterday y my friend kept on saying lola , she brings or cooks everything from this video , i just had some yesterday, filipino food is bomb lol
Been in L.A. almost 20 yrs and have never tried Filipino food. Thx for the introduction....I think Filipinos and Filipinas are the nicest warmest people.
I'm Hawaiian and i absolutely love Filipino food! We grew up eating this in Hawai'i. I have so many Filipino family members (through marriage) and friends and i love going to their parties for the ono food and the pretty girls. lmaoooo
I use to have a Filipino neighbor, and oh my gosh. They were soooo nice, one of the nicest people I've ever met. They're so genuine, kind, warm hearted and just great people in general. And also, back on topic, the food is amazing!!! It's sooo good and delicious! So I would totally recommend it!!!
***** if ya gonna eat a filippino traditional food i recommend you sinigang (it's like tomyum/hot pot but better) dried mangoes , lechon de leche , afritada , adobo and chicken inasal with atchara for fast food jollibee's mango peach pie idk if the american version sells that but it's f*cking delicious.
I agree. Jollibee is the most overhyped shit simply because it's Filipino. It's mediocre food at best. Filipinos desperately cling onto it trying to scrape together what little pride we can scrounge up because we have very little to show to the world. So basically anything "filipino" we will worship even if it sucks. If someone dissess McDonalds do you think americans will care lol?
Whenever I invite my hispanic friends to a Filipino party of mine they always ask what it is. I just stay silent and afterwards offer her something else like adobo 😂
Wilda Marie Rivera Adobo is an indigenous Filipino food. It has nothing to do with Spain. the Filipino natives have been cooking that stuff even during pre-colonial times.
Wilda Marie Rivera The pre-colonial Filipinos have been cooking the dish we now call Adobo even before the arrival of the Spaniards. When the Spaniards arrived to the islands, they saw the natives (Filipinos) cooking a dish; a stew, which is stewed in vinegar and spices, like garlic, pepper, bay leaf, etc.. The Spaniards thought that the "native" dish reminded them of their own way of cooking back home in Spain, which is "Adobar". Which means to "marinate" in Spanish. So they called the native dish as Adobo. Hence the dish is called Adobo. But Adobo is a uniquely indigenous Filipino dish. Aside from pork and chicken, Filipinos also use squid, fish and even vegetables (water Spinach), etc. Originally Adobo was cooked using only vinegar and spices, but later on when the Chinese started trading with the pre-colonial Filipinos, they brought with them soy sauce. Which eventually also became a staple ingredient in most Adobo. By the way just to give you an idea of how long this dish has been around; Pre-colonial Filipinos were already trading with our neighbors in S.E. Asia, with China, India, Arabs and Ryukyu kingdom (Okinawa), long before the west came to Asia. And we were cooking it even before we traded with these countries/kingdoms. And these countries/kingdoms have been trading with the pre-colonial Filipinos long before the arrival of Spain. The reason why Adobo is popular in the Philippines during pre-colonial times and even today is because Adobo has a very long shelf life. It does not spoil easily. This is because of the vinegar component of the dish. Preserving food was a very important thing during pre-colonial times.
A lot of Filipino mistake taro for ube. They're not the same thing, they're completely different food. Taro is called gabi in the Philippines and ube is called purple yam in English.
"top ramen of the philippines, pancit canton" haahaha a lot of people confuses chow mein with ramen rofl ;) btw at 3:14 i like the fact that AJ did that. it's very common among young boys usually teens in the philippines to sit on a curb or any low elevated floor then eat snacks or street foods. reminds me so much of my highschool days.
+negawut™ His analogy is for the popularity in the noodles section. Not as the soup noodles since pancit canton does not have soup. We do have a substitute for soup noodles like ramen, it would be mami, but pancit canton is still a better seller than mami in the Philippines. Lol!
***** Austronesians aren't limited to those few countries. They stretch all the way to Hawaii, Easter Island (off the coast of South America) to Madagascar (off the coast of Africa) to New Zealand. Austronesians are not just Southeast Asians
Why wasn't Lechon Baboy (roasted pork) highlighted? It's like one of the most festive Filipino foods. Or lechon manok (roasted chicken), or grilled tuna cheeks. I got to stop because I'm getting hungry saying this.
Yay finally! But where's the longsilog? And puto bungbung!?! And I can't believe they have Jollibee outside of the phils. Piatos are the freaking best. Way better than lays!
Different dialects can interpret differently or mean a variety of things. Like the main language is Tagalog but there are many hundreds more. My family is Ilocano and speak that dialect.
I love these videos. Every time I visit the US I try my best to share some of my culture to my relatives who grew up in the states. It's a lot of fun and you feel like you have a secret language every time I speak tagalog.
Dang AJ did good but missed alotta bomb foods. Sisig,Champorado (Every Asian is missing out on), Mechado, The -silog line up (tapsilog, longsilog and all that), Kwek Kwek, KareKare + Bagoong, Filipino hotdogs (BOMB!), Kikiam. And where the BALUT AT HAHAHA
antonio del rosario Pinoys on the mainland haven't forgotten how to cook you know. hehe. we have almost all of those foods here. except maybe for the red hotdogs. and you can't get fresh chicharron like in the Philippines. the vietnamese store in my neighborhood even just started selling balut -- but they are cold -- note like the ones in the bucket that are still warm. :-)
Juana Mangaong, I wasn't trying to say Filipinos forgot how to cook their own cuisine, I just underestimated how much Filipino food there is in America. For that I am sorry.
I loved watching this because it reminds me of when I gave my non-filipino friends the food my mom made for parties and I love all the foods named in this video besides the dinuguan. Lol
Went to Ilocos Norte in Jan. this yr. I discovered more about the Filipino culture and being a third world country, it humbled me. They had to use water buckets to flush and all and the most affordable vehicle there was a motorcycle. The people there were very warm and friendly. I stood out lol being the only mixed light skinned dude there lol but people treated me respectfully. Filipinos very hard workers and pretty chill people. Really respect their culture. I had a blast in the Ilocos Norte in the Philippines with my wife and her family and all and made a lot of new buds. Probably my favorite asian culture other than Japanese and Chinese. My favorite food is Spanish food and Filipino food there are some similarities i notice.
I'm Filipino and literally everything AJ pointed to at the store is what I ate growing up and I still eat to this day and basically all the other food too 😂😂 it's pretty cool seeing other people enjoy Filipino culture. and it's pretty true that Filipinos have the best dried mangos, I've tried all kinds of different brands of dried mangos and the Philippine brand is the best. other brands I feel like are drenched in sugar. and Filipinos have the best PURE mango juice too !!!!!! I love it!
You really captured the beauty of the Filipino people and food in one short video! Thank you for showcasing all the classic Pinoy eats! Peace, boys! Great work, as usual! :)
Wow you just earned my respect there FungBros cuz of this. I like how Mr. AJ never forgets how to act and treat others the "Filipino" kind-of-way too. Humble and never arrogant. And to you FungBros thumbs up to all of you and more power! Continue being respectful and an advocate of diversity. Love you all so much ❤️👍😉
i guess when he said grandma's cuisine it was correct. he meant these are the food grandma will cook. and they are not posers. at least they are not like those pinoys that sounds american slang and british english althought they haven't been in the US or near the US embassy in manila. pretentious.
Well actually it depends. When we're outside of our home we eat with table manners accordingly but if we're in our house we go all finger style on that shit. Using your hands IMO is the best way to eat.
paridisenwinter3313 don't you ever eat with your hands/fingers, ok?? use your spoon and fork when you're eating french fries, pizza, junk food and burgers! how ever way we eat at least we pray before we eat and we eat with our family. whatever culture you came from shows that RESPECT isn't instilled in you. what a shame.
Wow. This is so cool! I'm a Filipino. Born and raised in the Philippines. And one thing is for sure if I migrate in other country, I'm gonna miss the food! But good to know that they have a LOT of restaurants and stores that sell Filipino goods :)
Yaaasss I'm half black half phillipino and live in jersey! I found your videos last night and have been watching non stop. You guys should do one on blasisns I know there's a lot in Cali
You guys should try Filipino Kakanin also! They're yummyyy! Sapin-sapin, kutchinta, baye baye, puto, bibingka, suman, maja blanca, palitaw... I forgot whaf the violet thingy is, it's more famous during Simbang gabi! I miss the Philippines!
Filipino food is nice except that they are not spicy enough for me. Compare with Malaysian and Indonesian food, Filipinos generally just cannot handle very spicy food. Only some Mindanao aka Southern Filipinos eat really spicy food (generally).
Music_lover:) Come on, no doubt you might have a few spicy dishes, I tasted the so called spiciness of the Filipino food. Oh my god. it's not spicy at all for Thai and Indonesian standards and some say Malaysian standard. I have friends with Filipino maids from Bocolod, Cebu, different parts of Luzon, different parts of Mindanao etc etc, none of their cooking is spicy, my friends asked them to cook the most spicy Filipino food (they wanted to try something special and new), but unfortunately it was a big disappointment, Filipino food just ain't spicy enough for ASEAN standard.
Jeffrey Ang its because filipinos are not purely asian by blood. filipinos are multicultural. indonesian, malay, chinese, spanish, mexican, american, and japanese culture contributed to this multicultural nation. thats the reason why filipinos are not so asian's in taste.
Cap America Wrong, it's not the spicy food that cause colon cancer among Koreans, but FERMENTED PRESREVED food like the kimchi and fermented Korean bean paste.
michael emboltorio Really? I suppose that is natural considering 11% or so is Muslim, especially in the southern islands. I don't actually eat halal myself, just non pork.
SilverAbsol You should try southern Philippine food! I'm not Muslim, but I could totally live without pork whenever I go down to my hometown in the south. I'm not a huge fan of northern food which, in most cases, tends to be much sweeter and less spicy.
Hazy A. Wow, I didn't know the Philippines were so lenient to a minority, even though it's a sizable minority. Maybe I'll visit the Philippines one day.
SilverAbsol To tell you the truth when it comes to equality with minorities the Philippines still has a long way to go. (Though the average Filipino will not admit this for some reason :P ). But it comes easier for those who grow up in diverse mixed communities. When you come here, I'm sure you'll have lots of amazing food. (If you know where to look.) :D
That is probably because they are not so familiar with it. Unlike their other videos where you can see that they are more knowledgeable with the food as they grow up eating them. So they can be more natural and sassy. Filipino food is also not as known as other Asian foods like Thai, Indian,Korean and so on, and its more of a mix of Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish Cuisine.
lol I was thinking the same thing! glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. and they should've went to other restaurants. jollibee is too mainstream.
+jeremiah agtarap AJ Rafael is a Filipino-American TH-cam star. He isn't very famous, but his fans really love him (like me). He is good friends with Tori Kelly. Hope that helps :)
Kusina can mean kitchen or cuisine. I think "kusina" is derived from the Spanish word, and it's related with the French word "cuisine". I think the etymology of those terms are denoting kitchen and cuisine, which in a sense, are almost synonymous (even though in modern terms, kitchen is a place where people cook, and cuisine is a type of food from a certain place.....like a kitchen).
oh my glob guys you guys brought me back to my childhood I used to eat lumpia all the time and I never wanted to eat anything else I loved my grandmothers fried tilapia I loved all my grandmothers cooking and you guys just brought me back to that and I just wanted to say thank you
***** It's not really barbaric, it's more of a traditional style. That style is said to have been adopted from early Indian influence. But it is true that nearly all Filipinos eat with spoons and forks.
Yeah, but i think that depends on a person's preference, and some dishes. They probably didn't eat with their hands in the video for sanitary purposes. It's better to eat with your hands when you're in your own home or another filipino's home. The only time I kind of eat with my hands is when I eat fish. I prefer to separate the bones with my fingers and being safe lol
Does some here knows why Filipinos and Latinos have so much in common? like names of peoples, food, dishes, some traditional staff. We are so far apart but I find so many things in common and I still don't know why that happens. Are Filipinos related some how to us or Spain in the line of History?
Simply Mutya Thanks for the answer. I didn't know that. Here we only get the History of our country, America in general and how we are connected to Europe, but nothing from Asia, except of course how and which countries got involve in both World Wars.
bulmak Google, Wikipedia, I don't know? The internet maybe? In this day and age of such ease and accessibility of knowledge thanks to the internet, there is literally no reason not to know something. A simple Wikipedia search of the country Philippines, you can find that the Spanish occupied the Philippines from 1521 up until the late 19th century.
hi fung bros! im filipino and i love your channel, even watched most of your videos already! appreciate if you can feature more filipino stuff! keep rocking guys! :-)
That was some poor quality pancit right there, Im like "WTF is that?"......what a disgrace, they didn't pull out any good REAL MEALS, Minudo, Kare Kare, Nilagang Baka, Pinakbet, AresCaldo, Lechon Kawali, Tokwang Baboy,,,,, And ESPECIALLY THE LEGENDARY SISIG!!! not to mention any desserts, Suman, Puto, Hopia,and Karioka.... All these places really downgrade the quality of the overated food, that is why the best filipino food is home made
Awesome to be in this video with y'all. Hope everyone enjoys it! Also I meant to say Taro and Ube are pretty much the same, when it comes to taste (in dessert form), not the same thing as in ube comes from taro! Mybbad!
AJ Rafael, thank you for this video! So much nice whiles with people, nice video! I offering you my channel on YTbe is "Darja Hlouskova" my Gmail is.dada.klucka@gmail.com. I sing with joy and i compose a songs with joy! Offering you-if you will be to want! With friendly greeting! So much happiness and much nice whiles with you friends!
Also you meant to say "Grandma's kitchen" instead of "Grandma's cuisine". Are you even filo bro?
I was wondering yesterday y my friend kept on saying lola , she brings or cooks everything from this video , i just had some yesterday, filipino food is bomb lol
John Primrose Hey man chill. We get things wrong

It's so delicious you should try it!
Franchesca Ortega hahaha paborito ko yun 😂
+RHOLAND PALABOK 😍
+RHOLAND it did lmao i want some sinigang now
I use to have a Filipino neighbor, and oh my gosh. They were soooo nice, one of the nicest people I've ever met. They're so genuine, kind, warm hearted and just great people in general. And also, back on topic, the food is amazing!!! It's sooo good and delicious! So I would totally recommend it!!!
This is why its hard to diet in Philippines, everywhere the food is just so nice.
Everything is cheap too. I miss the food in PH.
***** Haha! I Feel u
RIIIIIIIIIICE!!!
*****
because he need to pay for all of you and not only for himself
***** haha you will know that feeling when you're independent and go to philippines
I have never tried Filipino food but really want to try it someday. They look so savoury, sweet, and everything delicious!!!
Yeah!It's So Very Delicious!! Hope You'll taste it someday
***** Please watch my music video, Pinoy Pood, on my page! I promise you will want to eat filipino food! hahaha
***** if ya gonna eat a filippino traditional food i recommend you sinigang (it's like tomyum/hot pot but better) dried mangoes , lechon de leche , afritada , adobo and chicken inasal with atchara for fast food jollibee's mango peach pie idk if the american version sells that but it's f*cking delicious.
***** I see you everywhere Filipino related xD
Mao Sama Don't forget about bistek! (Beef steak)
Good to see Filipino representation. Gotta rep the homeland.
Filipino's have the best food in asia period a lot of my friends are filipino and their mom's cook like jesus are in their fingers lmao ♡

I live in the UK now, and omg I miss jollibee's so much
jolibee is the most overated fucking copying kfc
***** I go there for the spaghetti mate
Natalie Rock oreyt then pal
Dang, me too! I miss Jollibee and Red ribbon 😍
I agree. Jollibee is the most overhyped shit simply because it's Filipino. It's mediocre food at best. Filipinos desperately cling onto it trying to scrape together what little pride we can scrounge up because we have very little to show to the world. So basically anything "filipino" we will worship even if it sucks. If someone dissess McDonalds do you think americans will care lol?
Can you do a Cambodian food episode? I want to see there dishes, I have many friends that are Cambodian and I will like to know their dishes!
the look on spanish people's faces when you offer them puto is hilarious
Hahahaha 😭 imagine when you're a Spanish man and then a friend of yours randomly gives you a white cupcake thingy named PUTO .... Lol
Whenever I invite my hispanic friends to a Filipino party of mine they always ask what it is. I just stay silent and afterwards offer her something else like adobo 😂
Say " want some puto?" To a hommie , im sure they will kick your ass , ahahhaha
Johnmichael Cierro "you dropped you're puto. Let me pick it up for you"
What does Puto mean?
kusina ni lola doesn't mean grandma's cuisine. haha it's grandma's kitchen. kusina is kitchen not cuisine.
maganda ka.
+Pizza Dude salamat :)
I was thinking the same thing lol
cjaaay18 anong pangalan mo?
+cjaaay18 though basically the same thing :) if we are talking about food. Grandma's kitchen you can say that luto ni lola diba? peace
I'm so fuking happy I'm philipino HELLS TO THE MUTHAFUKING YEAH

***** how you know I'm not bruh
Well I got autocorrect on shit y yall so douche to me
Josh Pitpitan lol if anything autocorrect should have fixed it but yea. philipino doesn't fly lol
***** well his last name is pretty filipino, if that's his last name
HAHAHAHAHA! Adobo is something else in Puerto Ricooo! And that lechon thingy! We call them chicharron!
We also have chicharon in the Philippines but it's saltier and thinner than lechon.
Ours is fatter and greasier. Ugh. Anyways, we have so much in common! Thanks to Spain -_- Oh well!
Wilda Marie Rivera
Adobo is an indigenous Filipino food.
It has nothing to do with Spain.

Lol us Filipinos are the Latinos of Asia.
LOL!

If they have Jollibee, maybe there is hope for Rufos!
I'm Lao & was introduced to Filipino food in '94', my Freshman year in Highschool.
My favorite is diniguan.

Filipinos eat with our hands
LittleImpaler true
LittleImpaler true
After Spanish colonization, we were introduced to western culture so we also started using fork and spoons. So, we have a choice--hands or flatwares.
Not always
We do it too,indian btw
Dang AJ did good but missed alotta bomb foods.
Sisig,Champorado (Every Asian is missing out on), Mechado, The -silog line up (tapsilog, longsilog and all that), Kwek Kwek, KareKare + Bagoong, Filipino hotdogs (BOMB!), Kikiam. And where the BALUT AT HAHAHA
bruh yassssss omg i still eat it
I think reason why they didn't get all these different types of food is, because they can't export there to America
Or make it there
antonio del rosario Pinoys on the mainland haven't forgotten how to cook you know. hehe. we have almost all of those foods here. except maybe for the red hotdogs. and you can't get fresh chicharron like in the Philippines. the vietnamese store in my neighborhood even just started selling balut -- but they are cold -- note like the ones in the bucket that are still warm. :-)

you know that feeling when your friends are also Asian and they want to taste your country food, is the biggest respect you could ever get :D
I loved watching this because it reminds me of when I gave my non-filipino friends the food my mom made for parties and I love all the foods named in this video besides the dinuguan. Lol
Gutom na ako 😩 I need to find some good Filipino food here in Michigan
I agree
Have you ever gone to the Toronto Filipino food festival? The biggest in North America
It hurts hearing he said, Grandmas Cuisine. Huya man ta kay lola, Kusina is Kitchen.

That's what I thought. 😂

Whenever I tell my friends about chocolate meat, they think I'm crazy...
that sounds good though
Jazzy Cleats IT IS. You should eat some...
My parents always said that it's "chocolate soup" since it's usually served from a huge pot then doled out to the congregation. ^^""
MAN I LOVE IT! my mom called it chocolate meat when i was little to get me to eat it. and then i found out what it was made of lol
you vamps!!! :P
So Indonesian and Filipino have the same food called Lumpia! That's cool!
Yes, I had an Indonesian co-worker and she said they call is lumpia also, and I looked it up on wikipedia.
You really captured the beauty of the Filipino people and food in one short video! Thank you for showcasing all the classic Pinoy eats! Peace, boys! Great work, as usual! :)
reminds me of holidays at my Aunt's house. love Filipino food!

omg please watch this with subtitles on and wait for the part about kusina ni lola
LMAO grandma's pussy clip 😂 im dead
What even
Wow you just earned my respect there FungBros cuz of this. I like how Mr. AJ never forgets how to act and treat others the "Filipino" kind-of-way too. Humble and never arrogant. And to you FungBros thumbs up to all of you and more power! Continue being respectful and an advocate of diversity. Love you all so much ❤️👍😉
Thanks so much for this video. Much love 😊👌🏼
I eat Filipino food everyday
do i care though?
^ rude. 😒😒
***** stfu you dont lift, so your statement is invalid
***** lifting has nothing to do with what she said, so your statement is invalid
Nnael Gaeul Lagutacam Dap do you even?
"Kusina ni Lola" means Grandmother's kitchen is it not?
It is
I think he made it sound better or maybe he thinks kusina is equivalent to cuisine in english
Nathaniel Rapelo it is.. im Filipino..
Nathaniel Rapelo You are correct dawg? Where do they meet these posers???
i guess when he said grandma's cuisine it was correct. he meant these are the food grandma will cook. and they are not posers. at least they are not like those pinoys that sounds american slang and british english althought they haven't been in the US or near the US embassy in manila. pretentious.
what Filipinos eat with a spoon and fork? quit playin yal eat with your hands/fingers LMAO.
Bruh.......you don't eat everything with hands. You're not gonna eat spaghetti with your hands.
Well actually it depends. When we're outside of our home we eat with table manners accordingly but if we're in our house we go all finger style on that shit. Using your hands IMO is the best way to eat.
paridisenwinter3313 don't you ever eat with your hands/fingers, ok?? use your spoon and fork when you're eating french fries, pizza, junk food and burgers! how ever way we eat at least we pray before we eat and we eat with our family. whatever culture you came from shows that RESPECT isn't instilled in you. what a shame.
true
The ones with manners eat with a spoon and fork, like me, but the ones with no manners and are hungry, eat with their hands.
i can only say that the fung bros are really nice and polite. they are really good in blending in with something different
I LOVE IT WHEN SOMEONE DISCOVERS OUR CUISINE AND CULTURE!!!
Wow. This is so cool! I'm a Filipino. Born and raised in the Philippines. And one thing is for sure if I migrate in other country, I'm gonna miss the food! But good to know that they have a LOT of restaurants and stores that sell Filipino goods :)
kahit saan ka pomunta may filipino store at restaurant. at may filipino community
Mamon is a bad word in spanish lol but yhat blood meat is fucking good.

Elaine Mercado I think you mean puto bumbong
Puto Bumbong!!! ^^
Filipino food is nice except that they are not spicy enough for me. Compare with Malaysian and Indonesian food, Filipinos generally just cannot handle very spicy food. Only some Mindanao aka Southern Filipinos eat really spicy food (generally).
We have some spicy dishes like Bicol express and sometimes Laing and kinulaw
Music_lover:) Come on, no doubt you might have a few spicy dishes, I tasted the so called spiciness of the Filipino food. Oh my god. it's not spicy at all for Thai and Indonesian standards and some say Malaysian standard. I have friends with Filipino maids from Bocolod, Cebu, different parts of Luzon, different parts of Mindanao etc etc, none of their cooking is spicy, my friends asked them to cook the most spicy Filipino food (they wanted to try something special and new), but unfortunately it was a big disappointment, Filipino food just ain't spicy enough for ASEAN standard.
Jeffrey Ang its because filipinos are not purely asian by blood. filipinos are multicultural. indonesian, malay, chinese, spanish, mexican, american, and japanese culture contributed to this multicultural nation. thats the reason why filipinos are not so asian's in taste.
Jeffrey Ang
there`s nothing wrong about non-spicy food...it reduces the risk to get colorectal cancer as it is common among older korean folks.
Cap America Wrong, it's not the spicy food that cause colon cancer among Koreans, but FERMENTED PRESREVED food like the kimchi and fermented Korean bean paste.
It's so nice how all of them are so game to try out the Filipino dishes!!
You know you're hella Filipino when you know everything and half of this stuff is what you eat at Christmas😂😂
Filipi-NO? More like Filipin-YES
JOLLIBEE....YUM!
hehehehehehe
ew its gross af, sweet spaghetti
+byAquaaaaaa all you need to do is try it
+byAquaaaaaa Sour spaghetti is "gross af"
As a Muslim, I think I've determined I'm not gonna be eating Filipino food. Too much pork everywhere. xD
Don't worry... philippines has lots of halal restaurant that serves to our muslim brothers and sisters... :-)
michael emboltorio Really? I suppose that is natural considering 11% or so is Muslim, especially in the southern islands. I don't actually eat halal myself, just non pork.
SilverAbsol You should try southern Philippine food! I'm not Muslim, but I could totally live without pork whenever I go down to my hometown in the south. I'm not a huge fan of northern food which, in most cases, tends to be much sweeter and less spicy.
Hazy A. Wow, I didn't know the Philippines were so lenient to a minority, even though it's a sizable minority. Maybe I'll visit the Philippines one day.
SilverAbsol To tell you the truth when it comes to equality with minorities the Philippines still has a long way to go. (Though the average Filipino will not admit this for some reason :P ). But it comes easier for those who grow up in diverse mixed communities.
When you come here, I'm sure you'll have lots of amazing food. (If you know where to look.) :D
Always love Filipino food. Can't wait to go back the Philippines for some! Oh and yes, Adobo is the best!
Lol I love how these guys can make the most casual sentemce funny by making it high pitched and giving a close- up.
YO IM FILLIPINO AND I EAT ALL OF THOSE FOODS!!!!!
Filipino for life!
Either the Fung Bros weren't feelin the food or AJ wasn't the right guy for this, but this video doesn't seem as good as the other ones. D:
That is probably because they are not so familiar with it. Unlike their other videos where you can see that they are more knowledgeable with the food as they grow up eating them. So they can be more natural and sassy. Filipino food is also not as known as other Asian foods like Thai, Indian,Korean and so on, and its more of a mix of Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish Cuisine.
lol I was thinking the same thing! glad I wasn't the only one who caught that. and they should've went to other restaurants. jollibee is too mainstream.
You're absolutely right.
So true, dude
how do you know? your not even Filipino.
That settles it; I need a Filipino boyfriend...
it's very refreshing to watch you guyss... thanks... Filipino Food is Awsome...
this is very filipino. thanks for knowing more about our food. mabuhay tayong lahat!
I am filipino from NYC but who the hell is AJ Rafael??? sorry but we don't know him.
We still don't know him, sorry
+jeremiah agtarap AJ Rafael is a Filipino-American TH-cam star. He isn't very famous, but his fans really love him (like me). He is good friends with Tori Kelly. Hope that helps :)
+jeremiah agtarap He's the philippine ambassador their i think.
+jeremiah agtarap I'm sorry for you, it seems that you don't know a lot of things
I though I was alone. haha I don't know him either hahaha
No kare kare?
that's the best dish imo
yeah i was looking forward to that too :(
They probably didn't have kare kare in the restaurants
Omg that's the bomb right there! XD
no Balut also lol
I'm pretty sure kusina means kitchen...
he got confused
Kusina can mean kitchen or cuisine. I think "kusina" is derived from the Spanish word, and it's related with the French word "cuisine". I think the etymology of those terms are denoting kitchen and cuisine, which in a sense, are almost synonymous (even though in modern terms, kitchen is a place where people cook, and cuisine is a type of food from a certain place.....like a kitchen).
yes.. kusina ni lola= grandmother's kitchen
oh my glob guys you guys brought me back to my childhood I used to eat lumpia all the time and I never wanted to eat anything else I loved my grandmothers fried tilapia I loved all my grandmothers cooking and you guys just brought me back to that and I just wanted to say thank you
Ugh AJ Rafael's personality is so sweet and refreshing
Technically, Filipino would use their hands to eat their meal.
But everything looks so good!
***** It's not really barbaric, it's more of a traditional style. That style is said to have been adopted from early Indian influence. But it is true that nearly all Filipinos eat with spoons and forks.
It's like 50/50 and usually depends on what food. i eat with my hands sometimes especially rice sometimes but definitely not always
i eat w. my hands everyday but at the end my hands are sometimes filled with rice lol
Yeah, but i think that depends on a person's preference, and some dishes. They probably didn't eat with their hands in the video for sanitary purposes. It's better to eat with your hands when you're in your own home or another filipino's home. The only time I kind of eat with my hands is when I eat fish. I prefer to separate the bones with my fingers and being safe lol
teentene Filipinos are very Westernized, so technically it depends lol
kusina ni lola does not mean grandmas cuisine lol where did u get this guy
It does..... Where did you come from is the question.
lol you should ask around...kusina is not cuisine
Gian is right, kusina is not "cuisine", it's "kitchen" ^^ There's a difference :)
So technically, it's Grandma's kitchen, not grandma's cuisine.
Gian abadilla well its kitchen now that i think about it but alot of people understands kusina ni lola as grandmas cuisine xD
a lot of people that doesnt know how to speak tagalog lol
Does some here knows why Filipinos and Latinos have so much in common? like names of peoples, food, dishes, some traditional staff. We are so far apart but I find so many things in common and I still don't know why that happens. Are Filipinos related some how to us or Spain in the line of History?
well,we're both colonized by the Spaniards.
Please read a history book.
Simply Mutya Thanks for the answer. I didn't know that. Here we only get the History of our country, America in general and how we are connected to Europe, but nothing from Asia, except of course how and which countries got involve in both World Wars.
bulmak ohhh thats nothing :)
bulmak
Google, Wikipedia, I don't know? The internet maybe? In this day and age of such ease and accessibility of knowledge thanks to the internet, there is literally no reason not to know something. A simple Wikipedia search of the country Philippines, you can find that the Spanish occupied the Philippines from 1521 up until the late 19th century.
hi fung bros! im filipino and i love your channel, even watched most of your videos already! appreciate if you can feature more filipino stuff! keep rocking guys! :-)
haha. where is this shot? The Jolibee burger looks waaay better in the vid than it does in Cebu..
Are there any Filipino youtubers?
ahaha lol im a Filipino.. and yeah theres a lot of them
*us i mean
As far as I know the most famous youtuber here in the Philippines is LC Learns
another one is Jamich.
Heart of thatsheart, Judy of itsjudyslife, and athena17
anthony from smosh is half filipino
Ubé is not Taro... lol
yah, ube sa halo2 or sa mga kakanin natin, pero pag sa mga coffee shops or sa mga milkteashops, it's Taro. hahaha ewan ko ba
+47crazed purple yam is the exact term. Taro is Kamoteng Kahoy :D
ube is yam; taro is gabi
+kumagcow Taro is Gabi, while Kamoteng Kahoy is Manioc or Cassava. Ube is Purple yam.
That was some poor quality pancit right there, Im like "WTF is that?"......what a disgrace, they didn't pull out any good REAL MEALS, Minudo, Kare Kare, Nilagang Baka, Pinakbet, AresCaldo, Lechon Kawali, Tokwang Baboy,,,,, And ESPECIALLY THE LEGENDARY SISIG!!! not to mention any desserts, Suman, Puto, Hopia,and Karioka.... All these places really downgrade the quality of the overated food, that is why the best filipino food is home made
Man they should've gone to Maxs where the real Filipino food is
I keep on looking for Grill City everytime I go to the US, but just couldn't find it anywhere. Where is it located?
+Emjay Jay In California you will find them inside the Seafood City supermarkets. The one in the video is located in West Covina, California.
FAVORITE SONG IN THE BACKGROUND AAAYYYEEE
