    KingSchratz is the gold standard of TH-cam food reviews. He identifies and appreciates the flavours accurately, eats the food exactly how it's supposed to, and is adventurous with new meals. Always satisfying to watch 😊

      Try bicol express and dinuguan you'll love it. Challenge for dinuguan coz it's pork blood stew.

    • @dayangmarikit6860
      @dayangmarikit6860 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No, Sinigang shouldn't have sweetness... That's weird.

    • @yolaktv7274
      @yolaktv7274 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think the reason why he taste something sweet is because of the cabbage added to it.

    • @shempeym
      @shempeym ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@@dayangmarikit6860 I don't think he meant that kind of sweetness. I think what he's pointing to is the fruity flavor, my guess would be the ripe tomatoes.

      I enjoy watching ur videos. Glad you like Filipino food. If ever u go back to mama Fina’s their Bicol express is good (pork, shrimp paste with coconut milk and lots of chilli pepper) If u like a little spicy i think you will like this as well as Dinuguan (pork blood stew)

  • @0130Boots
    @0130Boots ปีที่แล้ว +66

    Kare kare has a bit of peanut butter. Yes, that shrimp paste is called bagoong. Pork sinigang is tamarind base. Now I’m hungry 😂

  • @bryanborromeo6159
    @bryanborromeo6159 ปีที่แล้ว +49

    Man your on point in every ingredients that you guess like the tamarind and shrimp paste. Your on your way to become a Filipino food expert! Keep it up!

  • @BennLuvsYou24
    @BennLuvsYou24 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    You're the first ever food reviewer to ever do Kare-kare right! Great instinct on using the shrimp the way you did because that's how you eat kare-kare with it. I've seen someone add a dollop of shrimp paste to a bite and complained that the whole thing wasn't good. I eat sinigang the same way you did!

    Philippines 🇵🇭. Continue your
    food journey as your videos are great to watch👍🏼❣

  • @itsmeSHANGRILA

  • @iconiqGG
    @iconiqGG ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I always enjoy watching you eat Filipino food. I rarely see foreigners eat the rice with the dishes and it's an important part of most Filipino cuisines. When you ate the sinigang with rice I was like "yeah! finally someone who understands!". Thank you for another great video man. Always for some Filipinos we like to have a dipping sauce for our sinigang as well, me and my family use a fishsauce + bird's eye chili and dip the pork and some of the veggies from the sinigang

  • @TitoJames
    @TitoJames ปีที่แล้ว +129

    You ate the Kare-Kare the way it's suppose to be eaten and you got that Tamarind taste right on the Sinigang. Good job man!

    • @pingyu5141

  • @LetsGoBrandon247
    @LetsGoBrandon247 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    It's so impressive that you love shrimp paste! It adds a whole new level of umami to stews and stir fries especially. A lot of people make the mistake of adding too much, but you did it perfectly, adding a little bit at a time until you perfected the PERFECT BITE! Are you sure you're not part Filipino hahaha! Continued success on your channel! Long time sub :)

  • @yolamaeluterte9491
    @yolamaeluterte9491 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Watching you eat makes me happy. Each time i feel like not wanting to eat my food i watch your filipino food videos and i end up finishing my food. Theres something so invigorating in you while you eat and describe the food. Hope to see more of you having filipino delicacies.

  • @TheOriginalRick
    @TheOriginalRick 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    We use the Instant Pot electronic pressure cooker for cooking the oxtail for kare kare. It makes it so tender, and gives us a silky, deep broth to use with the stew. Plus it cuts the cooking time down from about three hours to just one. Some use the IP to finish it also, but we have found it is just as easy to finish on a separate pot on the stove top. The only issue we have with it is how much peanut butter to put in, Mrs. Rick likes a bit more than I do.
    Caldereta is very good also, but we like it better with goat. Beef is more than acceptable, though. Mrs. Rick likes salmon belly/heads best in her sinigang, but I like pork ribs better. As for breakfast, any day that starts out with garlic fried rice on the plate is going to be a good day. 😁😁
    When I married a young, 20 year old Filipina back in 1974 I didn't quite realize the lifelong culinary adventure I was setting sail on. Our kids are now teaching their kids how to enjoy and cook the many foods their momma taught them while growing up. Another generation who now understand and appreciate the food of the Philippine Islands.

    One good thing about your vids is that we could see how good the food was just by looking at your reaction. And of all the taste videos out there, you were one of the few that actually eat to enjoy the food. You eat not for the vid but for your self hahaha and that what make this so true 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 keep it up!

  • @angelb.6784
    @angelb.6784 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Yes, it's a shrimp paste and it's called bagoong (ba-go-ong). There's not really a right way to eat it, just mix it in however you want. Glad you liked it!

  • @eduardoeulogio
    @eduardoeulogio ปีที่แล้ว +6

    you were right, it’s shrimp paste. you can mix it in with the kare-kare and rice like what you did! to me it’s a game changer :)

  • @makeup1oh1
    @makeup1oh1 ปีที่แล้ว

    The pronunciation was on point! And you hit every ingredient! The shrimp paste for the Kare Kare is to your taste, just helps enhance the flavor of the stew but too much of it can make it salty also.

  • @raindhelcastillo6331
    @raindhelcastillo6331 ปีที่แล้ว

    You were right in all your guesses! And if you liked the shrimp paste and the peanut soup, I feel you can be more adventurous with our food! I would love to see your reaction to our balut(egg), dinuguan('chocolate' soup), laing(leaves dish). My personal favorites are the bistek(meat and onion), and bikol express(meat dish). Hope you do another vid!

  • @unibrowsunite

Thank you for appreciating and loving our Filipino dishes 😊 you can’t go wrong with the sisig in fact I’ve ordered half a tray of it over the weekend at a Filipino fast food restaurant here in CA because I just love the crunch of that pork! I guess you should try kare kare and sinigang too and pancit.
    The gravy with the lechon kawali is called lechon sauce tha is made with liver if we’re making it from scratch. A lot of times, the infamous “Mang Tomas lechon sauce” in a bottle that can be bought at Filipino or Asian markets is readily available to purchase for consumption.

    Thank you for eating & sharing Filipino dishes!! You ate & described allll the entrees correctly 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻You ate it right too. For the kare-kare, it is shrimp paste. You just mix it with the rice, meat, sauce. & veggies. I can’t believe you got the tamarind ingredient from the sinigang😄
    Now with sinigang, most of the Filipinos eat it in a bowl with rice… some use “patis” - AKA fish sauce with sinigang and rice. Again, thank you!!!💕Great vid!

      @roverlights6113 ปีที่แล้ว

      we love condiments. a combination of calamansi + chili + fish sauce is the dipping sauce for the meat of sinigang this is to counter the sourness pf tamarind.
