I love how honest the dad in the white shirt is. As a Filipino I share some of his sentiments like the one about lemon and how kare kare is pretty bland without bagoong
with the exception of noodles, filipino dishes are cooked to be always paired with plain white rice. so when they eat it with rice, it elevates the flavor because the sauces are meant to flavor the rice. its only in the US that i see filams eating those dishes without rice.
My Mexican grandmother made Filipino food. Filipinos worked in the fields with her in Madera California. I had Filipino friends that made Mexican food. That’s when I realized Filipinos are the Mexicans of Asia.
The Philippines has been a Spanish colony for more than 3 hundred years, same time with Mexico. There were the Galleon trades from Acapulco to the Philippines before, it is taught in primary and secondary schools here.
@@Aquadus214add the fact that the Philippines was ruled under the Viceroyalty of New Spain, based in Mexico City. The Philippines was only ruled directly from Madrid when Mexico gained independence in 1821.
The Tito in the white guayabera was my favorite. Honest and direct, but not rude. He's probably a teacher, while the other two seem like coaches because they sound encouraging.
I’m Mexican and I’m so happy seeing these Mexican dads try Filipino food! It’s bomb 🤤 Now that I’m pregnant I lost all spicy tolerance😢 Even to bell peppers! :c Fiancé is Filipino and only thing that sits well with my stomach and baby is Filipino food 😊
Yeah because most of these dishes are Spanish-related food. Philippines was conquered by Spaniards for 333 yrs. So therefore, they left their footprints in our country, the food, the language and some ways of living. So it's no surprise that you Mexicans would love Filipino food. Adobo(from Pollo de Adobar- but just the name. Because it looks something similar to Spanish food), lechon kawali, chicharon, sisig, those food were just cooked to suit the Filipino palette but they're influenced by the Spaniards.
Awww my husband is Mexican and so he’s stuck eating rice and filipino food but he’s not complaining, his only complaint is he used to be around 140lbs now he’s 210lbs haha
As a Filipino living in a large province, we seldom get truly authentic Mexican food here, save for a couple or so restaurants run by Mexican expats married to Filipinas. I flippin' LOVE Mexican food and seeing these gentlemen enjoy our cuisine, made me emotional. Our cuisine highlights the different melting pots of cultures that have come to our shores. Asian/Chinese, Western/Spanish influences traditionally dominate our food culture. As some would jokingly say, we Filipinos ARE the Mexicans of Asia. Hahaha~
PANCIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! With Adobo a close second. When I was in the Marines and we were sent to the Philippines my Puerto Rican and Cuban buddies were NEVER seen in the Mess Hall the entire time. They absolutely fell in love with Filipino food. FULL DISCLOSURE: Later I went back and lived for a bit in Cebu and I TOO am in love with Filipino food and make a lot of dishes as part of our regular meal rotation.
That sisig needs to come out on a sizzling plate. Man these Mexican dads would love the fusion Mexican-Filipino restaurants we have in the Philippines. Kare-kare burritos, sisig tacos, sisig burritos, adobo nachos, kaldereta birria. They should know we like to put toppings of crushed chicharron on pancit palabok, or batchoy noodle soup. The best panciterias also have pancit con lechon, which is pancit with lechon kawali on top. We also have chicken skin chicharon at night markets and just all other kinds of chicharon like chicharon bulaklak (ruffle fat), chicharon bituka (chicken esophagus), etc. Sad that US Filipino restaurants don't offer those.
Do you have any recommendations of mexican fusion around Manila or Bulacan? I'm going next month and bringing my mexican bf and I think he would get a kick out of that😂
I was gonna say when they mentioned about putting sisig in tortilla, I immediately thought of the sisig tacos offered here in PH. They will for sure like it
Growing up, we had Filipino neighbors. I was totally hooked on chicken adobo and lumpia. Pretty much all Filipino food is great. It's like describing that it's mixing Chinese with Mexican food in how things look and taste. LOL
Nah mexican foods are just modern foods compared to ancient asian foods like Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Arabian, Turkish foods, etc
American Filipino here🖐️. Been to Mexico as many if not more times than I’ve been to the Philippines. Love hearing my Mexican brothers enjoying our cuisine as much as i love enjoying theirs. In my house, if you sit at my table, you are family. Food brings us all together
I swear Mexican and Filipinos has the same taste buds. All of my Mexican friends love Filipino foods, because it reminds them of a similar dish back home.
Ah FINALLY, a video where people try Filipino food served with WHITE RICE. Should’ve had the sisig with rice too, but overall great! Also bagoong is pronounced like bago-ong. Gotta get the two O-sounds, kinda like pausing for a split second on the O
Wish they'd serve the sisig the correct way; SIZZLING on an iron plate. But I understand why they didn't. WIsh they'd have served them Dinuguan and Sinigang tbh.
Growing up in Asian communities there have definitely been times where you feel out if place ..even other Asians do not consider us "Asian" enough. But the Hispanic community has always embraced Filipinos..some of my best friends are of Mexican and Puerto Rican descent. It used to bother me, but I realized we are uniquely connected to Spanish culture..and that is a good thing. Yes, we are the Mexicans of Asia..and we are damn proud of it
Even in ASEAN the neighboring countries label Philippines as a country with no original culture or a country that tries too hard to be Latin or Hispanic. Good God.
I’m Mexican and I used to work at a nursing center with 80-90% Filipino coworkers for about 7 years and I can say that they are the most caring and respectful people ever. Work was always so much fun! Sending much love and respect to any Filipino reading this 😁
Stop the cap…Mexicans don’t even consider certain Mexicans to be Mexican enough…let’s talk about how big skin colour and shade plays a roll in Mexican culture…but yeah everyone is excepted 😂
i live in the philippines and there's a lot of filipino + mexican fusion restaurants here. when vicente and tiberio were talking about wanting to make a taco out of the sisig i got so excited because that's actually one of my favourite fil-mex foods! sisig tacos are the BEST with a cold beer.
As a Filipino I would use calamansi, or Philippine citrus on pancit etc. It's easy to find calamansi these days as it's grown in California and other parts of the US
Oh yes! We have bottles of juice AND the powdered form. It's SO awesome. I actually really only buy Calamansi juice/powders (never seen the the fruit around here) and Meyer Lemons. Gotten VERY spoiled LOL
That karekare is probably made like that because it came from a restaurant because time constraints. Homemade karekare is soft like a slow cooked brisket and is a labor of love.
While most Filipino dishes you can just eat it as it is and pair it with rice to cut the saltiness, kare kare is one of those dishes that you need to explain to people how to eat properly cause it could be a hit or miss. Without the shrimp paste, the stew itself is usually bland, while adding too much shrimp paste could overpower the taste..
Or mix a little _bagoong_ into the stew while cooking itself. Idk why but I don't like kare-kare without bagoong cooked into the stew. The bagoong gives it a bit of a oomph without making it overly salty. To me, it's like cooking something without MSG or bay leaf: you may not notice it when it's there, but you will notice when it's _not_ there.
@@NJAD0 It's the umami from the bagoong. I don't like bagoong in general if it's presented as a condiment, but if it's mixed into dishes, it's perfect.
the ratio is hard to get. I describe it as a literal grain/stain per spoon of kare kare. It must be added that way per mouthful, or properly mixed in while cooking. Otherwise the taste is off.
Not to mention that there are several shrimp paste (bagoong) recipes that go really well with Kare-kare depending on the person's preference of taste. Some like salt and sweet taste of some shrimp paste while others like just the salty ones. That's why Kare-kare is really hit or miss if you don't know what the preference of the person tasting it is.
Wife is Mexican and one of my brother in law is Filipino! Filipinos and Mexican every time they have a party it’s a feast good food and a lot of kareokie (on the Filipino side)
Thank you, Papah! For having these papis rate my country's food. Just like the mamah video, it warms the heart that all y'all are respectful and have an open mind about any country's food. Thank you very much ♥
I just tried filipino food for the first time in my life 2 months ago, in Mexico City. I was curious but suddenly, some guys in a table next to me (it was a food festival) started talking to me in English and they told me they approved of the food, so I told them "if real filipinos approve this food, then it means it's authentic filipino food". It was AMAZING. No idea the name of the dishes, but the "standard combo" included deep-fried dumplings, noodles with pork and vegetables, and rice with a special sauce. Looking forward to this next Saturday because I'm totally going to the last edition of the year of that food festival and I got totally addicted to filipino food. And they said they're making filipino Adobo, which I'm dying to try 😋
I love how open minded they were with Filipino food! It truly is intimidating to try something you aren’t familiar with. Only if my parents were the same haha
Dude Mexicans and Filipinos have been shacking up in multigenerational households from Daly city to Union city since the 1920s (and further) I'm Pinoy married to a mexican-american and I also inherited her whole family with mine. I can genuinely say we dig each other's food.
For sisig, actually the correct citrus fruit to use it with is calamansi, which I understand is very hard to come by outside Southeast Asia or even the Philippines, so lemon is like the very far best substitute to it, which explains why one of the dads did not like it for the sisig. Calamansi is a citrus fruit not eaten on its own, but makes for great seasoning for certain food such as pancit, and as juice. Calamansi juice works effectively for flu and colds.
Protip for spicy - Filipinos do spicy vinegar for dipping, usually coconut vinegar but can be any vinegar, mixed with fresh chopped chilis, garlic and onion. Some even crack some black pepper into it. Serve with ANY deep-fried Filipino food. I prefer this sauce over the sweet and sour for lumpia. If you got either bird's eye chili or siling labuyo, you are set. If not, serranos do well as a substitute (imo) - good balance between the freshness of the pepper and a strong spicy heat.
Kare Kare is the kind of dish you have to explain to someone who doesn’t know how to actually eat it. Its definitely hit or miss food coz It’s bland in taste so you have to eat it with the shrimp paste- and it’s now up to your preference how salty you want it to be- And you can experiment with the shrimp paste as well, I preferred it to be cooked spicy with a hint of sweetness!! thats why it’s my favourite filipino dish. Yum!
It's bland because the kare kare you've been served isn't seasoned right. If it was seasoned well then you wouldn't need the bagoong (which should be the brown ginisang) to season it for you.
As I click on this quickly, I shall say this My uncle took an AncestryDNA test a little over 2-4 years ago and it said that from my deceased grandpa’s side (who would’ve been 65 today) had some Filipino roots. Maybe a great great *several greats later* grandparent could be Filipino, hence why my mom and her siblings have a Filipino surname growing up.
@@rgutierrez595 To add, later on during the spanish colonization, there would be ships that would sail straight across the pacific ocean from Mexico to Philippines and back. We sold and shared a lot of things to the Mexicans and the Mexicans/Spanish also gave us alot of their culture to us. IIRC, one of the biggest exports was Philippine Mango and textiles.
Filipinos & Mexican are deeply rooted because of the Gallon Trade during the Spanish era. A lot of Filipinos settled in Mexico during that period, so it's not that impossible to find Mexican with Filipino ancestry. Filipinos love Mexican food as well
Sisig is actually good with soft tacos, Like Carnitas that I also love. man I wish our schools in the Philippines kept the Spanish curriculum. It stopped after my uncles graduated highschool. Pretty much back in the day Filipinos can speak Spanish fluently.
Kare Kare is so good, but it’s one of those dishes that is usually better made at home. It’s usually made with ox tail, and needs the proper time to cook. Also, watching him put half a teaspoon of bagoong (the shrimp paste sauce) onto one spoonful - 😅😂 Can’t blame him for not liking that bite.
@@Duquedecastro Never been to Mexico but have lived in Spain and found similarities to Filipino food. Whether you like it or not Mexico and Spain will always be associated with the Philippines.
Ran into Arturo today at Costco !! It was a pleasure to meet him in person he is funny really nice guy just as in camera ! I love watching them try new foods!! 🎉
Isn't it amazing how the spanish says that our dishes really looks like thier local dishes but when they taste it, it taste so different... spanish influence thru colonization with filipino major twist to make it our own dish.. hehe.
It's a take-out. Of course, it won't be on a sizzling plate. And the original recipe of sisig doesn't have eggs. It's just something that other people started adding to it. So, regardless if it does or doesn't have eggs, it still counts as sisig.
"Adobo is almost always served with white rice." In a filipino meal, everything is served with white rice 3 times a day. My mom always says if it doesn't have rice, it's not a meal, it's just a snack. Sandwiches are a snack. Pizza? Snack. Burger? Snack. Spaghetti, bread, noodles? Snack. 😂
This video made me miss my Grandpa :(. Just hearing them talk i get flashbacks of when i was a kid n my grandpa would pull up in his white truck with fish he got from fishing. Love you grandpa. I miss u so much
San Francisco native 🌁 here. I also traveled to The Philippines 🇵🇭 last year, 2022. I eat both Mexican 🇲🇽 and Filipino 🇵🇭 food 😋. These fathers 👨 like 👍 Filipino foods served here. Adobo is similar in taste to curry 🍛 but the vinegar gives the mustard taste 😋. Pancit is available in Indonesia 🇮🇩, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Singapore 🇸🇬, China 🇨🇳, Taiwan 🇹🇼, Vietnam 🇻🇳. China and Taiwan name that as chow mein. I prefer pancit and adobo: they can be prepared as vegan 🥕 or with plenty if meat 🍖. I hope the next Filipino food these Mexican dads 👨 eat are Filipino desserts 🍨 Yummy 😋
I knew it! mexican and Pinoys do have at least the same taste when it comes to cuisine due to our connection during the Acapulco Trade during the Spanish Regime. Thanks Papah for sharing this content😊😊😊 Fun fact: Philippines also have its version of Barbacua but we spell it as Balbacua especially in Visayas and Mindanao region. Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Hi. I cook sisig but not as often anymore. Sometimes the crunch comes from the uncooked onion bits (I use red onion because it works best uncooked) added to the chopped pork after removing them from the fire. I love your reactions to our most popular dishes.
What you'll love with Filipino dishes is that Filipino cuisines are mixed with Spanish, Chinese, and bit American not only in taste but also in methods of cooking and their names are similar to dishes of the Spanish. Which is why some Filipino cuisines are sort of a resemblance their country's own dishes.
It's funny because we're referred to as the Mexico of Asia if only because of the heavy Spanish influence in our culture. Some of our cooking techniques and ingredients are Spanish but there's also Chinese in there. Glad to hear you liked the food! Also narrator dude, it's ba-goh-ong. Not bagung! (don't worry about it though, I call it bagung when I'm joking around)
yeah, the lumpiang shanghai and pancit bihon they tried are hokkien chinese in origin. we still eat those as favorites in traditional chinese filipino families
@@Duquedecastro but Filipino are the only SE Asian country with overwhelming majority Catholics. All surrounding countries are Muslims or Buddhists. That is one strong bond they share with Mexicans.
Funny thing when watching this video is that most of the mexican dish they reminded themselves of when tasting the Filipino dish also exist in the Philippines like chicharon, barbaccoa but we call it balbacoa, polvoron and many more
Shrimp paste needs to be added in a small amount with kare-kare as it will be too salty. Also, the best shrimp paste (bagoong) to get is sweet and spicy!
@@rots.866 where are you from? Filipino calls coconut milk as gata. And, we sometimes put tomatoes in our Bagoong. Sugar and chili are what mostly make it sweet and spicy.
Just to share, try reading the journal article of "Convicts or Conquistadores? Spanish Soldiers in the Seventeenth-Century Pacific" from Oxford Academic site. It may only be a few high class Filipinos or Chinese/Chinese Filipinos who became Mestizo, not like the great Mestizo of Mexico, which one can conclude that we didn't get mixed with Spanish blood, largely yes but if you look at the military garrisons stationed in the Philippines as well as it was only in the latter days of the Spanish Empire that Spain itself took direct control of the Philippines, for the most part the Philippines was handled by the viceroyalty of Mexico. In conclusion? we're more closely related to Mexican culture than Spanish culture itself, or at least for the majority of common Filipino--we may do business and official things in English now, but our daily interaction still uses Spanish words and even when counting things.
It feels good that these people are open minded about filipino cuisine. Last of all they appreciate it. Filipino cuisine is not as well renowned but it still has a place in peoples heart ♥️
Chicharon in Filipino is different, a pork skin that is deep fried until it becomes brittle and crunchy. Pancit, or vermicelli noodles, comes in different varieties; the popular one that was presented was Bihon, a very thin noodles. If opted for a thicker one, canton will be it.
I guess to answer the question from the video I would say yes if they try it and like it then yes if not then no. Depends on their personal taste just like anything else
Oh man, I’m such a huge fan of Vincent, he is legitimately the Latino version of my Italian dad/padre. It’s like uncanny to me, he’s been gone for a while now, it’s just so nice to watch him, looks, as well as mannerisms.
These gentlemen could probably do quite well as food critics. Excellent senses of taste and abilities to articulate the flavors and textures of their food.

Dude Mexicans and Filipinos have been shacking up in multigenerational households from Daly city to Union city since the 1920s (and further) I'm Pinoy married to a mexican-american and I also inherited her whole family with mine. I can genuinely say we dig each other's food.
the dad who said kare kare with bagoong is an acquired taste, he’s so right, i hated it before and now it’s something i look for every once in a while
For sisig, actually the correct citrus fruit to use it with is calamansi, which I understand is very hard to come by outside Southeast Asia or even the Philippines, so lemon is like the very far best substitute to it, which explains why one of the dads did not like it for the sisig. Calamansi is a citrus fruit not eaten on its own, but makes for great seasoning for certain food such as pancit, and as juice. Calamansi juice works effectively for flu and colds.
0:18 why did bro sound more French that Mexican 😂
As a true filipino,and 8 years old,i hope they have a great future
As a Filipino, I love Mexican culture and cuisine! Mexicans are like our cousins from abroad. We're so far apart yet have so many similarities.
they’re being honest without being disrespectful, i love them so much
Protip for spicy - Filipinos do spicy vinegar for dipping, usually coconut vinegar but can be any vinegar, mixed with fresh chopped chilis, garlic and onion. Some even crack some black pepper into it. Serve with ANY deep-fried Filipino food. I prefer this sauce over the sweet and sour for lumpia.
If you got either bird's eye chili or siling labuyo, you are set. If not, serranos do well as a substitute (imo) - good balance between the freshness of the pepper and a strong spicy heat.
Yes lumpia is better with a vinegar sauce. My mom would mix the vinegar with some soy sauce, crushed garlic, and pepper
loooved how they described it with such enthusiasm and critique! they defo knows cooking for sure.
The Manila-Acapulco galleon trade route really did a lot of trade and influence on the two countries during the Spanish Coloñal era
@marylytle7888 I wish this was taught in schools both in Mexico and the Philippines. It's a shame we have forgotten our past.
Our love for Our Lady of Guadalupe is a common thing for both Filipino and Mexicans!
I like that they're honest but not brutal that they give the filipino foods respect
Im a filipino happy aq n mkta na nagustuhan nyo pagkaing pinoy❤❤❤
These dads are too kind. They’ve been served Filipino famous dish in low quality.
Kare Kare is the kind of dish you have to explain to someone who doesn’t know how to actually eat it. Its definitely hit or miss food coz It’s bland in taste so you have to eat it with the shrimp paste- and it’s now up to your preference how salty you want it to be-
And you can experiment with the shrimp paste as well, I preferred it to be cooked spicy with a hint of sweetness!!
thats why it’s my favourite filipino dish.
Yum!
It's bland because the kare kare you've been served isn't seasoned right. If it was seasoned well then you wouldn't need the bagoong (which should be the brown ginisang) to season it for you.
Filipinos!?? Our Mexican version of Asians! ♥
I do agree 🇵🇭🇲🇽❤
As I click on this quickly, I shall say this
My uncle took an AncestryDNA test a little over 2-4 years ago and it said that from my deceased grandpa’s side (who would’ve been 65 today) had some Filipino roots. Maybe a great great *several greats later* grandparent could be Filipino, hence why my mom and her siblings have a Filipino surname growing up.
Not to be that guy or anything but you do realize the Spanish colonized both people so mixing of the two doesn’t seem too hard to imagine
@@rgutierrez595 yes I am aware of it.
@@rgutierrez595 To add, later on during the spanish colonization, there would be ships that would sail straight across the pacific ocean from Mexico to Philippines and back.
We sold and shared a lot of things to the Mexicans and the Mexicans/Spanish also gave us alot of their culture to us. IIRC, one of the biggest exports was Philippine Mango and textiles.
The Galleon Trade was between Manila and Acapulco, if I remembered that correctly, so a mixing of the genes is inevitable.
Filipinos & Mexican are deeply rooted because of the Gallon Trade during the Spanish era. A lot of Filipinos settled in Mexico during that period, so it's not that impossible to find Mexican with Filipino ancestry. Filipinos love Mexican food as well
Sisig is actually good with soft tacos, Like Carnitas that I also love.
man I wish our schools in the Philippines kept the Spanish curriculum. It stopped after my uncles graduated highschool. Pretty much back in the day Filipinos can speak Spanish fluently.
Bro, as a Filipino. I love Mexican food! So this is amusing to see 😂
Filipinos and Mexicans are the most hardworking people and one of the best food combined PARRTEYYYY 😊
Kare Kare is so good, but it’s one of those dishes that is usually better made at home. It’s usually made with ox tail, and needs the proper time to cook.
Also, watching him put half a teaspoon of bagoong (the shrimp paste sauce) onto one spoonful - 😅😂 Can’t blame him for not liking that bite.
Nothing beats home-cooked meals!
I’m Thai and I love Filipino food, but what I like most about the country is its people.
Nah bro, we're toxic as HELL when it comes to native people. especially younger people like teens. Hell, i've seen a 5 year old flip me off one time.
Considering the amount of spanish influence in filipino culture. I find the food to be a asian/spanish fusion, and what's not to love about that!?
There’s really not that much of Spain or Mexico in the cuisine of the Philippines, that’s nonsense
@@Duquedecastro Never been to Mexico but have lived in Spain and found similarities to Filipino food. Whether you like it or not Mexico and Spain will always be associated with the Philippines.
@@MA-pn9zx Untrue. Name them, other than bread…
@@MA-pn9zx And not foods that many countries can similarly have.
@@MA-pn9zx Mexico and Spain have more influences in the United States.
Started off with the right intro! Chicharron/Lechon! 🇲🇽 🇵🇭 ! Sauce, can't go wrong with vinegar!
Ran into Arturo today at Costco !! It was a pleasure to meet him in person he is funny really nice guy just as in camera ! I love watching them try new foods!! 🎉
This made me proud as a pinoy
MABUHAY!!
Isn't it amazing how the spanish says that our dishes really looks like thier local dishes but when they taste it, it taste so different... spanish influence thru colonization with filipino major twist to make it our own dish.. hehe.
that sisig was a crime imo. it lacks the sizzling plate, egg and calamansi
Kapampangan sisig dont have egg
It's a take-out. Of course, it won't be on a sizzling plate. And the original recipe of sisig doesn't have eggs. It's just something that other people started adding to it. So, regardless if it does or doesn't have eggs, it still counts as sisig.
You forgot the mayo
**proceeds to run**
Bruh hahaha@@isiaharellano3789
And chicharon. You forgot to mention chicharon.
Dad in white is the food specialist. He noticed the old oil where the lumpia was deep fried. Excellent.
Make a part 2 pls with Sinigang, dinuguan, bicol express, taho, and halo-halo
Thank you for your genuine and respectful reactions. :)
As a Filipino with Spanish & Mexican Ancestry, I really love spicy foods with my filipino dishes
Replace those sauces with vinegar chopped garlic and onion dip mix.. The lechón and lumpia will taste even wilder
"Adobo is almost always served with white rice."
In a filipino meal, everything is served with white rice 3 times a day. My mom always says if it doesn't have rice, it's not a meal, it's just a snack. Sandwiches are a snack. Pizza? Snack. Burger? Snack. Spaghetti, bread, noodles? Snack. 😂
Lemons steals the original flavor from the food is well said and i agree. I'm one of those who prefers without lemon in pancit.
Same! Just one lemon/calamansi will overpower the flavors of pancit.
This video made me miss my Grandpa :(. Just hearing them talk i get flashbacks of when i was a kid n my grandpa would pull up in his white truck with fish he got from fishing. Love you grandpa. I miss u so much
San Francisco native 🌁 here. I also traveled to The Philippines 🇵🇭 last year, 2022. I eat both Mexican 🇲🇽 and Filipino 🇵🇭 food 😋.
These fathers 👨 like 👍 Filipino foods served here. Adobo is similar in taste to curry 🍛 but the vinegar gives the mustard taste 😋. Pancit is available in Indonesia 🇮🇩, Malaysia 🇲🇾, Singapore 🇸🇬, China 🇨🇳, Taiwan 🇹🇼, Vietnam 🇻🇳. China and Taiwan name that as chow mein.
I prefer pancit and adobo: they can be prepared as vegan 🥕 or with plenty if meat 🍖.
I hope the next Filipino food these Mexican dads 👨 eat are Filipino desserts 🍨 Yummy 😋
I knew it! mexican and Pinoys do have at least the same taste when it comes to cuisine due to our connection during the Acapulco Trade during the Spanish Regime. Thanks Papah for sharing this content😊😊😊
Fun fact: Philippines also have its version of Barbacua but we spell it as Balbacua especially in Visayas and Mindanao region.
Greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Hi. I cook sisig but not as often anymore. Sometimes the crunch comes from the uncooked onion bits (I use red onion because it works best uncooked) added to the chopped pork after removing them from the fire.
I love your reactions to our most popular dishes.
I love your video!
I'm glad our dishes are accepted by Mexican dads.
Pro tip:
Please use calamansi or lime and not lemon, they taste different...
What you'll love with Filipino dishes is that Filipino cuisines are mixed with Spanish, Chinese, and bit American not only in taste but also in methods of cooking and their names are similar to dishes of the Spanish. Which is why some Filipino cuisines are sort of a resemblance their country's own dishes.
It's funny because we're referred to as the Mexico of Asia if only because of the heavy Spanish influence in our culture. Some of our cooking techniques and ingredients are Spanish but there's also Chinese in there.
Glad to hear you liked the food!
Also narrator dude, it's ba-goh-ong. Not bagung! (don't worry about it though, I call it bagung when I'm joking around)
yeah, the lumpiang shanghai and pancit bihon they tried are hokkien chinese in origin. we still eat those as favorites in traditional chinese filipino families
There is way more Chinese than Spanish in the Philippines, including ancestry. Almost none have Spanish ancestors
@@Duquedecastro but Filipino are the only SE Asian country with overwhelming majority Catholics. All surrounding countries are Muslims or Buddhists. That is one strong bond they share with Mexicans.
This is why Mexicans and Filipinos get along and are pretty much the same people! Mi gentes!
Filipino culture is closer with our Hispanic cousins than with our Asian neighbors.
Funny thing when watching this video is that most of the mexican dish they reminded themselves of when tasting the Filipino dish also exist in the Philippines like chicharon, barbaccoa but we call it balbacoa, polvoron and many more
Shrimp paste needs to be added in a small amount with kare-kare as it will be too salty. Also, the best shrimp paste (bagoong) to get is sweet and spicy!
+1
in our region we call that bagon gata. it is sweet because it is cooked with tomatoes.
@@rots.866 where are you from? Filipino calls coconut milk as gata. And, we sometimes put tomatoes in our Bagoong. Sugar and chili are what mostly make it sweet and spicy.
@@wanderingtin bagon gata is a regional thing. Its chavacano cooking. No chilli for us though.
@@rots.866 So you're from Zamboanga?
Mabuhay fellow mexicans, also mexican here. From mexico pampanga
That's not chicken adobo. Our adobo do not use tomato sauce
Just to share, try reading the journal article of "Convicts or Conquistadores? Spanish Soldiers in the Seventeenth-Century Pacific" from Oxford Academic site. It may only be a few high class Filipinos or Chinese/Chinese Filipinos who became Mestizo, not like the great Mestizo of Mexico, which one can conclude that we didn't get mixed with Spanish blood, largely yes but if you look at the military garrisons stationed in the Philippines as well as it was only in the latter days of the Spanish Empire that Spain itself took direct control of the Philippines, for the most part the Philippines was handled by the viceroyalty of Mexico.
In conclusion? we're more closely related to Mexican culture than Spanish culture itself, or at least for the majority of common Filipino--we may do business and official things in English now, but our daily interaction still uses Spanish words and even when counting things.
I could go for some Lumpias right now 🤤🤤
It feels good that these people are open minded about filipino cuisine. Last of all they appreciate it. Filipino cuisine is not as well renowned but it still has a place in peoples heart ♥️
A note on sisig is that it's *supposed* to be sour. At least traditionally
Chicharon in Filipino is different, a pork skin that is deep fried until it becomes brittle and crunchy.
Pancit, or vermicelli noodles, comes in different varieties; the popular one that was presented was Bihon, a very thin noodles.
If opted for a thicker one, canton will be it.
the way he pronounces bagoong at 7:10 was a violation :(
the dads describe it really well!
Deberian probar las comidas nigerianas. Like fufu or pounded yam with soup (egusi, ogbono, okro), Jollof rice, ofada rice, etc.
I guess to answer the question from the video I would say yes if they try it and like it then yes if not then no. Depends on their personal taste just like anything else
Seeing them enjoy Filipino dishes puts a big smile on my face ❤
Oh man, I’m such a huge fan of Vincent, he is legitimately the Latino version of my Italian dad/padre. It’s like uncanny to me, he’s been gone for a while now, it’s just so nice to watch him, looks, as well as mannerisms.
2:24 that usually happens specifically to the late batches of lumpia that you'll cook. Still delicious tho 😊
These gentlemen could probably do quite well as food critics.
Excellent senses of taste and abilities to articulate the flavors and textures of their food.
Gotta accept the fact that Kare-kare will always have mixed reviews 😅
Now have them review dinogoan 😁
kare kare can taste bad if the cook isnt great. Ive tried some in the philippines with too much peanut it tastes & feels like peanut butter
When he pronounced bagoong like that I about died laughing. It just caught me really off guard.
Such a cute video I loved it
Just wanna correct the pronunciation in one part. "Bagoong" is pronounced BA-GO-ONG. Not Ba-goong. Three syllables, not two.
They gotta serve the lumpia with the spicy vinegar dipping sauce.
bagoong is definitely an acquired taste
hahaha the way they said “bagoong” 😂😂
Filipino food is so unique. In many ways it’s a hodgepodge of different items, but proudly so and really fantastic
Love the reactions mexican and Filipino are brothers in culture beliefs and religion
Love papahs and this channel!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
they got it! sisig is great paired with beer!
