Best Tapa in Cavite and How to Make it At Home with Erwan
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2024
- Where can you get the best tapsilog in the city? Erwan Heussaff is driving to Cavite to try the most underrated “tapsihans” that serve the staple Filipino breakfast: tapa (marinated beef), sinangag (garlic rice), and itlog (fried egg). This wouldn’t be an episode of Erwan Cooks without us trying our own version back at the studio kitchen! From a traditional dried version, to a really tender cooking technique, to a more premium dish this is the ultimate tapsilog video that you need for your home kitchen!
We are making all our tasty tapsilog recipes using the iconic soy sauce and vinegar from Marca Piña. Did you know that their products are now available in over 40 countries? Marca Piña has been around since the 1940’s and is a staple in every Filipino household. Try these Piñakamasarap tapsi at home!
We are just getting started with our Cavite series, so make sure to watch the rest of our videos to learn more about the historical city, its food specialties, and the lovely people who make it uniquely theirs.
Hidden Tapsihan - Gen. Mascardo St. Kawit, Cavite
TRADITIONAL BEEF TAPA VS MODERN (ERWAN COOKS)
Ingredients:
Premium:
½ cup Marca Piña Soy Sauce
1 tbsp Marca Piña Vinegar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ kg beef striploin, sliced into ½ inch thick chunks
3 tbsp cooking oil
3 cups lard, for cooking
Chinese-style/Velveting:
½ kg beef rump, breakfast cut
5g baking soda
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced
Traditional-Dehydrated
⅓ cup Marca Piña Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Marca Piña Vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ kg beef rump, breakfast cut sliced into 2 inch wide strips
3 tbsp cooking oil
Sawsawan:
2 pc jalapenos, sliced
1 tbsp brown sugar
¼ cup Marca Piña Vinegar
1 clove garlic, chopped
sunny-side up eggs
fried rice
Procedure:
1. For the traditional tapa: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and sugar. Add beef and massage into the marinade. Leave for at least 30 minutes.
2. Place it on a clean container covered with a net that can prevent insects from touching it and let it dehydrate under the sun for 3 hours. Alternatively, you may use a dehydrator at 70C setting for 3 hours.
3. You may fry each piece or slice into strips and then fry. Fry in hot oil for 30 seconds.
4. To make the premium tapa: Combine soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and garlic. Mix until the sugar has dissolved. Massage in your beef and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
5. In a pan, melt your lard and slowly cook the beef for 2-3 minutes making sure the garlic doesn’t burn.
6. To make the chinese-style/velvetted tapa: massage beef with baking soda. Leave for 30 minutes and rinse. Add in garlic, soy sauce, and vinegar. Marinate for another 30 minutes. Cook in a pan with hot oil for 1-2 minutes or until cooked through.
7. To make the sauce: Dissolve the sugar in vinegar and add jalapenos.
8. Serve each tapa with fried rice and eggs. Makes 8 servings.

yung sasagot si Erwan in Filipino kapag Filipino siya kinausap.. that's respect ya'all! 😊👊
Di nga
di nga
My Hometown! Thank you for so much for Featuring! Proud Caviteña here 🎉❤😮
The beauty of Filipino cuisine is that we don't rely on heavy spices or herbs, it's all in the technique. Its easy to mess up with very few ingredients.
The fewer the ingredients, the harder it is to make.
Agree! It's not about the ingredients, it's all about the technique.
Go to Mindanao. For a new perspective on Pinoy cuisine
Tapa is smoked..ginagawa nyu? Hakdog?
@@jefreyvillar1094 Originally, yes. Like Tinapa, smoked fish.
I love erwan's videos. You can really learn a lot from undiscovered goodness in the entire country. Keep doing it Erwan.
Made me miss my lola's tapa, she sun dries the tapa and only puts salt, pepper, vinegar and garlic. 😊 It's sugar free 😄
Original recipe, to preserve the meat without refrigerator
@@fidelamonera851 ano po province nyo? ganyan din ung tapa na kinagisnan ko
@@junjuntv7021 Bulakan
ganyan din sa amin. Very basic pero ang sarap sarap.
We always eat there when I was in highschool. I make sure to visit their other branch everytime I am in Kawit. For me, it’s the best tapsilog I’ve tried 🤤
Nakakatuwa naman, napapadalas ang feature ni Erwan about sa food ng mga taga Cavite. Nice! 😊 Gracias contigo!
Thanks for visiting Cavite my hometown.
Best tapa is found in San Andres Market, Batangas beef, the fat especially is to die for :-) it's the traditional tapa, plain salted beef, doesn't mask the beef flavor
Hidden Tapsihan is so good it has multiple branches in the province… also go tagalog king, Erwan!
"tagalog king"? 😂
Can't believe I'm only discovering this channel now in 2023! Considering the fact that I love love love Philippino foods!
I love the way you simply snatched the jar of vinigar there haha. Thank you Erwan and team for visiting my hometown and featuring our go to comfort food Hidden Tapsi.
Best tapa paired with the best sawsawan. But most of us in Cavite adds banana ketchup in our suka whenever we eat at Hidden Tapsihan. I don't know the reason why but it tastes so much better with ketchup.
We put banana ketch for everything
Halohalo na ketchup,suka,toyo,hot sauce sa sawsawan......rapsa talaga
Eto isa sa nmiss ko sa pinas.. maraming tapsihan sa cavite.. sikat at da best ang hidden tapsihan
Well Done Erwan! Oh my, the passion thru the years have improved your cooking technique and knowledge, just goes to show how your enthusiam and authenticity shines through...
Thank you Erwan for visiting my hometown Wakas, kawit Cavite. We used to live close to Hidden Tapsihan. Living in California now since 1978
Immediately I knew that it was the home branch of Hidden Tapsi in Wakas in Kawit. When I lived abroad, I CRAVED their tapsilog so bad.
ERWAN'S GENTLENESS IS MAKING HIM MORE POGI HUHU
Love watching your 3 version of cooking tapa .
Awww! Love Erwan! So humble! ❤❤❤
This made me run to the grocery and make myself some TAPSILOG! Awesome recipe, Erwan!
I love u Erwan- good Dad for Dahlia & good hubby for Anne.
Great video!
For those that are velveting for the first time, don’t forget to rinse you meat after the velveting process or else your meat will have a strong Alkaline taste.
After rinsing, then marinate.
Love this! Thanks for sharing different options how to prepare tapa! 👍😊
That's the spot! Love Hidden Tapsihan in Kawit
Omg Hidden tapsihan! When I was in Highschool in St. Mary Magdalene I usually go there with my friends. Ahhh memories. The best Tapsi!
that place gave so much memories on my life, when our drunk adventures have been there eating food and its great, never forgotten those times
I was lucky to eat there, when it was a bangko n table top in front of the cook. Mang Eggie powered me through many late night chibugan. The original hidden tapsihan has grown so much.
My aunt leonor, Lucban, Quezon,does carabeef tapa with nothing but salt but cooknit with very litrle oil and rub the meat strips around the pan on the caramelizing protein and fry it just untill you loose the redness of the blood in the carabeef. And for the dip, a real sour coconut vinegar, smashed garlic and a little salt.
Yeah, that's how my grandmother used to cook tapas, the traditional way.!
Here I am, binge-watching your "The Best Of..." series and enjoying every bit of it. You have your way of educating people. This is one of the vlogs that relaxes me the most, especially now that I am very pregnant and a very picky eater. 😅 There are days when I know I want to eat something but can't figure out what exactly it is. And through watching this, I get to realize what my cravings are. 😁 Later, when my husband wakes up, mag-aaya ako sa Hidden Tapsihan. 😋
Whew! I love tapa! This is surely going to up my game. Thanks, erwan! Galing mo.
The best tapa for me is the carabeef tapa made by my grandma way back 35 years ago. Im still craving for it to this day. RIP to my grandma. It seems mothers knows the best stuff but second only to grandmas in everything...
Wow! Thanks for always promoting our local foods
Marca piña sa wakas na feature dn sa tapa hahaha yan ang orig na pang probinsya na brand
We used to eat here after playing basketball!!! Love that it is alive and doing well! Hello from California!
Hey Erwan. I have a recipe that I created for a cafe here in Cebu that won the "Best of Cebu" "Best Coffee Shop" award when I was their sous chef. I can't name the establishment though but I would love to see your thoughts on it.
Tapa being my favorite, I love this video. 🎉❤
Shoutout sa mga laking Marca Piña 🫡

Thank you for sharing this iconic breakfast dish…
I’ll delve on this….looks delectable and easy to prepare and cook.
Unforgettable Mae
I use to live in cavite city and we go at the hidden Tapsi at night after a drink 🍻. It use to be small with benches. 😁
Aaahh, absolutely mouthwatering just watching this video 🤤🤤🤤 😝😂😂. Thanks for sharing 😊
I've eaten tapang usa from the native aeta's of Isabela, I still dream about it even though it's been twenty years since I've eaten it. The smoky flavor, that slight sweetness, and the umami from the meat. The taste is still vivid in my head, even two decades later.
My parents bartered two quatro kantos, a kilo of sugar, two packs of cigarettes, and a pack of coffee for 5 kilos of meat. The aetas wouldn't take more stuff in exchange for the meat, I wonder why?
Because they only take what is enough for them, and yes tapang ugsa is quite an exotic meat that not all Filipino can eat. I've tasted it quite a few times and it's on top of my list, 2nd one would be tapang kabayo.
Wow it must be super yummy that up to now you are still craving for it.. Sana kahit minsan matikman ko rin...Mahilig din akong magdevelop ng recipe..
I am watching this at 1:56 AM and it's making me hungry and miss Pilipinas so much. 😮💨
Appreciate this video. Hoping for more silog meals and healthy in the merienda ideas 😊❤
Love beef tapa it’s my favorite with eggs for breakfast 😋😋😋
And i craving for Tapsilog now 😋😋🤤

Nakakakaktakam
Amazing erwan ❤❤❤❤
banana catsup + vinegar! best sawsawan for cavite tapa! ❤❤❤
try adding banana ketchup to the vinegar. sobrang sarap paired with rice and tapa :)
Wow!! Hidden tapsi!!
I made my tapa like Hidden Tapsihan, it’s like adobo and then fry. But will try Erwan’s premium and the velvet(?) one💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing this to us! Watching from Monterey County California! 😋😋😋 I think the Premium Tapa is rhe best!😋😋😋
Rice cooked with salt is delicious. My husband is Puerto Rican and always cooks rice with salt and oil. Pinoy style rice to him is bland. I like both ways of cooking rice. My Lola always sun dried thinly cut beef for her home made tapa.
I personally like the sunny-side ups with the crispy slightly toasty edges and the semi-runny yolk, Malaysian/Indonesian style 👌🏻👌🏻
Wow! Sarap! ❤
I used to eat there with my kuya and my classmates in primary school #nostalgic
Now I'm craving for some tapsilog! (partnered with a cup of coffee, even if it's almost bed time soon!)
😮 bistek and fried = new way to present tapa
This reminds me of my hs/college days. Extra rice please!!
Thanks I learn how to cook tapa🎉
try mixing suka with banana ketchup. That's how caviteños usually do it😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂 yesssssss
ang cool ni sur and smooth spoken lang po sya habang nag c share sya ☺😄❤
Love it!
my forever favorite tapa.
made me drool all over my keyboard. Consistently fantastic vlogs Team FEATR, kudos!
Hello Erwan! Kudos to all your vlogs! Really informative and amazing!!!
Just sharing.. i have a "suki" who makes tapa with just 3 ingredients and is air dried. Not the sweet kind though. But its good!
Makes me hungry watching u eating😊
Good job erwan ..I enjoy your vlogs so much 😋🥰
We went there at Hidden Tapsihan❤ We weren't disappointed
The color grading is 💯
Hidden tapsihan from my hometown of kawit cavite❤❤❤
Ang sarap talaga
Would be really interested for you to try different meat tendering techniques without water (love the discussion about velveting with chinese stir fry) using beef, that is sources sa Palengke. I've noticed that majority of the famous Filipino dishes do have some sort of prep time with water (pakulo, paiga, etc.) e.g. Bulalo, Nilaga, Karekare, Caldereta
uwi ko ng august puntahan ko yan
So good! savoury and well balanced with the seasoned vinegar. But watch out! Heavy on the calories and can leave you feeling weighed down. Eat in extreme moderation.
I’m proud of how much vinegar you add! lol now I need to try this place when I visit pinas 😂
Wow, super delicious ❤🎉
ako lang siguro pero naiirita ako sa nalaglag na kanin sa plato ni erwan habang kinakain yung tapsilog. Damn! gusto ko tuloy ng tapsilog.
Next time try the vinegar with ufc ketchup. Heaven!
i hope you can do a documentary about quezon province too!
hell yes! spiced vinegar and garlic
favorite place to eat
Delicious 😋
I really love your videos. My love for food and cooking is still continuously growing and evolving, and content such as yours - educational without any hint of ego - really helps in that journey.❤
WAAHHH THIS IS MY NEIGHBORHOOD! I grew up eating here at Hidden Tapsi!!! And yesss that sauce! HAHAHAH SARAP! Now am hungry!!! 🥹🥹🥹
So good!
