Ang galing nung nakuha nyong local resource person. He knew how to explain things and he knew what he was talking about. Di tulad ng iba kung ano-ano lang sinasabi. Being Ilocano myself I know what he was saying was right.
When you say bagoong to ilocano it is the bagoong na isda by default and that is the bagoong we use for pinakbet. Unlike in the tagalog regions bagoong to them refers to the bagoong alamang. 😊
This is the first time I heard of bagoong na isda 😱 I’m allergic to bagoong alamang, hmm might try the bagoong na isda if I find one, baka sakaling its the one for me 🤞🏻
I love how Erwann eats 😂. Sooo tempting. As if everything is sooo yummy. Maybe he can also try Cagayan Valley one time. I'd love to see how that place looks like, more than the foods bec.most probably, they are just the same --- bagnet, pakbet, paitan, etc.
My mom is ilocano and I was born here in America. I loved watching this to learn more about my mom’s roots. I feel so in touch with Filipino culture especially the culture my mom grew up with. I know a lot of people need videos like this since not everyone has the luxury to travel to their home country often. Watching these kind of videos on Featr really educate others and help people get in touch with their culture. ♥️🥰
This is so true about eating vegetables. Both parents' roots hail from Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. But the Ilocanos from Ilocos Norte eat a lot of FRESH vegetables. I grew up abroad and in Makati, but boy, we ate a LOT of vegetables! We always had 2 dishes with rice. Our meat dishes always had to be paired with a vegetable dish. I remember saying, 'oh, no, they're feeding us grass and flowers again!' Lol we were literally eating flowers! (kalabasa flowers and boiled katuray -- kaway-kaway mga batang Ilocano) OMG hated them, the bitterness gave me headaches. We were eating out-of-this-world vegetables that no kid should ever eat haha. But now that I'm older, I couldn't eat any dish without a vegetable dish on the side. My meal is always incomplete without them. Don't forget, we eat a lot of fresh seaweeds, too! (arurusep, gamet, kulot, pukpuklo - hope I spelt them right).
I grew up in Pangasinan and my maternal family comes from Burgos. Both my parents are Ilokano, and it's the same here. Sometimes I feel weird around non-Ilokano Pinoy here in America who eats a LOT of meat. And I'm here like, I grew up eating more vegetables than meat.
@@shahani6037 Yes, I can totally relate!! I think it's become a pet peeve of mine when I see people eat JUST meat. I always have this urge to tell them they're missing the vegetables. But of course, I keep my mouth shut to avoid being stared at 😂
This explains the 3.18 M subscribers. Super in deep presentation of Ilocano food and delicacies that surely made me the viewer WOWed all through out the video.
Love illocano food. I was born and raised in Hawaii and grew up eating illocano food. Parents made their own bogoong, had our own garden full of veggies in backyard, and even butchered our own live proteins once in awhile for family gatherings.
My grandfather emigrated from ilocos Norte to Hawaii 100+ years ago. I don’t know anything about ilocano traditions but this video really opened my worldview. I’d love to go to ilocos for a visit. Thanks Erwan!
I grew up in Hawaii, the highest ilocano population in the United States. When I moved to Las Vegas , I was sad I couldn’t find ilocano places to eat. Love ilocano foods 😋
if other people hear ilocano foods they always talk about empanada, bagnet and longganisa.. what they dont know there is, there's so much more to offer when it comes to ilocano dishes.. glad you tasted genuine ilocano foods that most Filipino doesnt know.. there are still a lot of hidden gems that you should try-- from veggies to meat definitely u will enjoy😊
As a Ilocano who lives in the states, my parents and relatives grow their own vegetables in their backyard too. So it’s so cool to learn that it happens back home in the Philippines too. ❤
I am Ilocana/Filipina-American and extremely proud of my roots! My family is from Binalonan, Pangasinan. I love Ilocano dishes (e.g., dinengdeng, pinakbet, etc.) with all the vegetables and kankanen tupig is my fave. Thank you for sharing Erwan and team.
I am ilokano but was raised here in Mindanao. Haven't been to Ilocos, that's why now I think I should be there, all the foods there are my comfort foods, especially pinakbet. Woww hope someday I can visit Ilocos. Seems like a home I haven't been to.
my lola was ilokano as well and was raised in Mindanao.. i think kidapawan. we grew up with her here in manila. she cooked a lot of ilokano food when she was still alive!
@@nashjacinto9473 woww we were from the same province. Im also in North Cotabato. Kidapawan is just 30 minutes away from my university back then. Now I always pass through Kidapawan if I go back to my hometown on holidays. Missed Lola's dish as well. Bet your Lola cannot only speak/understand Ilocano, but Bisaya and Ilonggo as well!
Kudos to you Sir Erwan for featuring a local food in the Philippines and you are not “maarte” and just genuinely eating the food. You are a great food vlogger. ❤ I also like how those interviewees are speaking in english. 😊😊😊
Mmmmm! My family is from Pangasinan, but the food is very similar to Ilocano cooking. I used to absolutely hate papaitan, but now that and kilawen are my favorite gout-inducing goodness! lol Used to also hate pinakbet because of all the veggies, but my mom cooks a MEAN pinakbet too 😋
Ilocano Filipina American here. My family is from Bacarra Ilocos Norte. I haven’t been back to the Philippines since I was younger thank you for representing our food ❤️
God... I missed my old school Ilocano dad suddenly. Pinakbet, dinengdeng, inabraw, pupuklo seaweeds, pinapaitan always bring back memories... my old man is from San Narciso, Zambales but his parents are from Ilocos Sur.
I love ilocano dishes thank you to my husband diego a pure ilocano and i am from mandaluyong i love their pinakbet,dinendeng,longanisa,bagnet,papaitan ,fresh salad gulay
What a beautiful way of featuring the authentic Ilocano cuisine. Thanks FEATR for transporting me back to my younger years. I remember back then going to public market early weekend morning and be overwhelmed with the smell of fresh produce, what a bliss.
The province I will definitely go back. Best empanada can't compared dun sa nabibili sa mall sobrang yummy and bagnet.. fresh food in all karinderyas kasi konti yung fast food jan kaya fresh and lutong bahay. Sarap bumalik
I'm so grateful... nkakataba din ng puso. See how we, ilocanos are very good in cooking. As i watch your vid im so very proud coz we are able to speak in english fluently. Char.... imiss my hometown ilocos norte. Thank you po for advertising ilocos. GODBLESS.. greetings from AUH,UAE
Honest suggestion… Erwan this is the perfect time for you to incorporate you speaking the local dialect or Tagalog….. So you can be understood perfectly well and appreciated to the max!!!
Good day Erwann! I am from Laoag City and I would like to clarify that San Nicolas isn't part of Laoag but instead another Town. Anyways, love that you feature the Ilocos finest foods. Hope you could have also visited Paoay's cornick/chichacorn in Namnamas Food Products 🤗
Erwan is such an exeptional vlogger, very fluent, detailed,exploratory,intelligent, and really brave specially when he explored my place in Mindanao. His vlog on Basilan is one of the best… Exhilarating Unforgettable Mae
I'm glad he showcased Sulu cuisine, sadly underrepresented in stateside Filipino restaurants. Why downplay our connection to the larger Malay and Indonesian world? We share the tsile ingredient, our Toragan may eve n come from Indo. My Mindanao aunt is Muslim. Erwan is very down to earth- great vibe.
Ilocano Provinces are the places you could find healthy and chunky people because they love to eat fats and proteins. Vegetables are always the side dishes. Good finds Erwan not bad for a city man. We love you.
You're way to go Chef Erwan~! Hope every person will know you as you and because of your amazing cooking skills but not as husband of Anne. But it's good naman because they respect and know you as the amazing husband of anne. Proud of you!
I'm half Filipino and my father is from La Union. He is very bias to say that the best Illocano food he's ever had are in San Juan and San Fernando, La Union. I may have to show him this video to convince him to take us to Laoag the next time we go back to the Philippines!
From Ilocos Norte here! Proud! Town po pala ang San Nicolas, hindi po siya part ng Laoag City, bale two towns na po yun San Nicolas and Laoag. Thank you po 🥰
I remember my early childhood having empanadas outside the Immaculate Conception Church in Batac as it was just getting dark. There's nothing like it in the world. It's so good😋😋😋🧡🧡🧡
I am now craving for Ilokano dish. Kept wondering what the paksiw was until I remember we call it sinanglaw. It is such a comforting food and quite tasty too. Hope you can also go up north to Cagayan Valley in the future and taste their version of Ilokano cuisines.
This vlog is right on time. I feel like Erwan is preparing me for the food in Ilocos Norte. My family and I will be there soon. Thanks for this food vlog❤️🙏🏻
Some of these comments got me… 😅 My great-grandfather on maternal side is from San Nicolas; my great-great grandparents are part of the sakadas (you can also look up Alaskeros) marami talagang kasi marunong mag sakahan kaya abroad na Hawaii & Alaska po ang daming Ilocano. 🇵🇭 I like to think our food is very underrated, precisely because of the fact we are so prideful. I’m grateful this video was unplanned. It was a pleasant surprise to somebody like me - who only knows English and is trying to learn Hawaiian! I am proud. Mahalo, Erwan for showcasing your introduction to ilocano food; salamat po FEATR for giving us Ilocos Norte series 😊
My late grandparents & late mom is from Ilocos Sur San Juan and my late Dad is 1st Generation Ilocano born & raised in Hawaii (1925) and I’m 2nd Generation(1964) my kids are 3rd generation mixed ethnicities and ALL LOVE the Ilocano Style Northern Dishes…btw 90% Filipinos in Hawaii are Ilocano…Tagalogs we’re the LAST wave coming to Hawaii😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
The best version of dinuguan right there. Crispy dinardaraan. In ilocos pig's blood are already mixed with vinegar to prevent coagulation and the color is blood. Here in manila it has na vinegar and color red makes it hard to approach.
Kakamiss lalo pagkain sa Ilocos N.! Bagnet, longganisa, empanada, pinakbet, igado and more! 🤤😋 You missed tasting dinakdakan though. Gusto ko na tuloy umuwi. Thank you for featuring our local food ♥️♥️♥️
These are my people!!! I love how you mentioned our vegetable dishes. It always bothers me that Filipino food has a rep for being only fatty. I miss how my pops used to cook dinar daraan. Maybe you can touch on the rivalry between Batac's and Vigan's empanadas one day?
OMG! I love Laoag and tupig! I love the chewy, crispy and charred parts. I wish I could get a hold of them in Washington! This video makes me want to go home just for the food.
We we're there last Nov with friends and coming from Visayas where foods are mostly so diverse also, Ilocano food somehow tastes different from what most Pinoy usually prefers. Its very unique and new (though I prefer Visayan foods pa din.😅) but its a must-try when you go see Ilocandia.❤️🙌
My Mom is from Batac. And whenever we go there, we eat tons of empanada and miki in the riverside. The best!! Wow! Really missing the food and the people there. Thanks Erwan & Featr! 💙
That vegetable spread at breakfast reminds me of growing up with my ilocano grandparents. I HATED veggies as a kid but they really encouraged me to try it because super payatot ako haha. Thankful for my Ilocano roots for introducing me to great eats
Ang galing nung nakuha nyong local resource person. He knew how to explain things and he knew what he was talking about. Di tulad ng iba kung ano-ano lang sinasabi. Being Ilocano myself I know what he was saying was right.
When you say bagoong to ilocano it is the bagoong na isda by default and that is the bagoong we use for pinakbet. Unlike in the tagalog regions bagoong to them refers to the bagoong alamang. 😊
Agreed. Bagoong is never alamang for us ilocanos/pangasinenses :)
This is the first time I heard of bagoong na isda 😱 I’m allergic to bagoong alamang, hmm might try the bagoong na isda if I find one, baka sakaling its the one for me 🤞🏻
Is Bagoong Isda same as Ginamos? Just curious. Thanks.
Same with ilonggo. Bagoong is fish, while alamang called ginamos. In visayas, their bagoong and ginamos are fish😊
Yah, bagoong isda ♥️♥️♥️
What I love about Erwan is that he is nice, friendly and "hindi maarte". You will never feel intimidated. More power to the team!
Watching over and over again❤️More power featr!
Yaaas, he's cuteee too😍, Anne's so lucky.
I love how Erwann eats 😂. Sooo tempting. As if everything is sooo yummy. Maybe he can also try Cagayan Valley one time. I'd love to see how that place looks like, more than the foods bec.most probably, they are just the same --- bagnet, pakbet, paitan, etc.

(arurusep, gamet, kulot, pukpuklo - hope I spelt them right).

I am an ilocano. Everything that taste bitter we consider it as medicine or can cure like ampalaya that has many benefits and other leafy veg.

Empandad is one of my fave ilocano food!!!! Really love it!
My hubby is an ilocano ..grew up in Abra.
Nothing beats ilocos empanada! When we had a tour around ilocos, i will not miss a stop where i don't eat empadana
The province I will definitely go back. Best empanada can't compared dun sa nabibili sa mall sobrang yummy and bagnet.. fresh food in all karinderyas kasi konti yung fast food jan kaya fresh and lutong bahay. Sarap bumalik
There are fast foods in malls and some sorounding areas not just in laoag. But still carinderias are everywhere too. 😊
This is one of the calmest food review. I've seen mark wiens, sonny and strictly dumpling , but Erwan's reviews is more satisfying

Thank u FEATR for discovering the uniqueness and beauty of ilocos / laoag and sharing this vlog to everyone... Wishing u all success! ❤️ 💯
So nice to see you in Laoag. I lived in Laoag until age 17. I miss the food in ilocos! Certainly brings back memories. Thanks for this video

Wow !! My mother is Ilocano from La Union and I lived in Laoag city in the early 80’s seems like soo much have changed ! Thanks Erwan ❤️
I lived In Laoag too! Napanak Holy Spirit Academy!! Love my Ilocano heritage.
gotta say, i love how he adjusts and speaks in Filipino when talking to the locals. kudosss!!
Makes me want to visit to Philippines 🇵🇭 just to go there to try all these yummy dishes!
Found this video again and as an Ilokana, I’m rewatching. Kudos to the resource person in the beginning. Naglaing 😊
This makes me miss my province more! Cannot wait to come home, Ilocos Norte 🥹
I missed home. Been living in Thailand for 7 years. Ilocos Norte is one of my favorite places. Just love the vibes and food.

Ilocano breakfast usually consists of parboiled leafy greens or vegetables (okra, eggplant, sili) dipped in bagoong with sliced kamatis and sibuyas.
Tinuno nga tarong, okra sili sawsaw sa bagoong kalamansi or kamatis.. literal na breakfast namin noon,, after magsaing deretso ihaw ng gulay
Add talbos ng kamote and tuyo na may maanghang na sukang sawsawan!!
Hahaha! 'Anne Curtis's husband' should be an amulet for the 'bullied husband'.
What can I say but it was a great trip with you to Laoag! ❤
Sana all nakatikim na ng lechon baka😍 habang pinapanood ko si erwan na kumakain ng lechon baka, alam kong masarap talaga ung lechon🙃
The Lechon Baka is definitely worth trying!! + their Sinanglaw too. 👌
I am an Ilocano, for all dishes i’ve tasted my whole life. Our ilocano dishes is still my fave
So blessed to have an Ilocano dad 🫶
Did try all the ilocano dishes 😋😋😋
I miss home, Zambales!!! Lots of Ilocanos there too! Thanks for doing this video, now makes me want to go home more. -from Los Angeles
