As a half Iranian and half Filipino I am actually so grateful for the flavours I get to experience day to day! 🤤
Yesss me too!!
Whattt that's such a cool mix
Wow that sounds like a beautiful mix of families!
wow that's cool
Have you made any fusion recipes before?
I love the fact that Godfrey didn’t use any of the typical Filipino foods. I’m sure he had difficulties picking and thinking of idea since a lot of the delicious Filipino dishes are pork based.
Agree. I have seen adobo and lumpia too much already and it is time to feature other Pinoy foods.
But don't get me wrong, I love adobo and lumpia. 😋
@@rafaelvicho3551 he shoulda chose Bicol express but replace the pork with beef.
3:25 , that bread looks good , usually you eat it with tomatoes , walnuts and cucumbers and feta cheese and basil or mint and saffron / rose tea , some people add green cardamom to the tea but if your adding rose water you don't need to
These are very typical food though. Now, if he chose regional food, there’s a much wider range he can choose from which are not pork based.
Godfrey did such an amazing job in choosing dishes! 😊 I have lots of family & friends who don’t eat pork so I was very happy I could make all of this and share with others after and not let any go to waste! (I definitely had these for lunch / dinner in the following days too hahaha!)
As a Persian…I’m genuinely in shock at how well homie’s tahdig came out. First time? Really?!? How!?
Filipinos main staple food is Rice, i guess that makes them quite adept at cooking rice-based food.
And his barbari! We don’t actually bake it at home lol
Siepi looks like the sweetest person ever and her enthusiasm is so admirable.
I agree !!!
She's gorgeous 😍
she a bit goofy ngl
She is from koren englishman 😲
I know her from working with Josh and Olly of Jolly/Korean Englishman and one of their best episodes was having the two guys go to her house and meet her dad for Persian food. Great people.
Aw dude Persian representation is so rare that i get *undeniably* excited whenever it actually happens lol.
right !!! this is why I felt so happy and proud to be able to showcase some dishes we have 🥺
YES
I know right 😂😂🤣🤣 I feel the same
As a Filipino, I feel like Persian and Iranian representation should be more abundant.
A lot of Persians in the Philippines and I'm glad there are authentic Persian restaurants in my area. ☺
9:16 Sepi, as a Filipino, trust me when I say that dipping your Pandesal in the stew is in no way a disservice. Heck, I'd even say that it's a good idea!
omg ok I’m glad!!! It was so tasty 🤣 also I am totally spotting RM in your dp hahaha
Pandesal with everything really.❤️
@@itshellosepi Army spotted! Sepi you are beautiful
that is actually the filipino way.. if westerners have milk and oreo..we have pandesal and coffee in philippines
Use it to clean up sauce on plate(pandesal)
When you dipped that pandesal to the kaldereta, you also took the Filipinos to heaven and back.
I too had the same experience lmao
I'm Filipino and I've never thought of making pandesal at home. It's actually pretty funny to me that I'm learning how to make them from foreigners. Hahahaah
I mean, the fact that you never had to make it yourself means that you're just used to the community and your home.
So it's kinda a good thing you didn't start off doing it yourself, as when you finally do learn to do so, you'll feel this sense of 'homeliness' whenever you make it for yourself, especially if you've moved away from home.
Hey, I'm a an Iranian and until this day I have never made my own Barbari. I was actually shocked and impressed that the guy in the video made his own and didn't buy it from Persian supermarkets.
well there’s the cheap panaderya for that so no need haha
This was fun! Where has Iranian food been all my life?!
WHERE HAS FILIPINO FOOD BEEN ALL MY LIFE !!!
If you love Iranian food then you'd love Afghan food! Give it a try!
I'm subscribing because we have the same family name. Hahaha. Joke. Nice vid.
It's cool that you guys went out of your way to comment on the video.
middle eastern food in general is so fire
They were the best for this challenge! Open minded and tried their best. Everything looked stunning.
bless you Janet! We love that you enjoyed it :) both of our first times making any of these dishes so I know there is stuff to learn on my end but just glad I made it and didn't mess up too much so I could share hahahah
I thought the Filipino guy was black--
I like you both guys. This is exactly what kind of people should make these videos: not fussy, curious, adventurous, food lovers, explorative, positive/joyful, grateful, all together lovely young people (you are).
I'm neither Filipino or Iranian and I'm interested to try these cooking too. Thank you for sharing all these cuisines.
yaaaay! This makes me so happy to hear 🤗 hope you can try any of the dishes mentioned ✨✨✨
I've tried all of these Iranian recipes at home and they're great ! I love lubia polo !
Half Filipino and half Persian over here. Still trying to figure out how they made my suggested videos but super happy it was! Both cuisines are amazing 🇵🇭🇮🇷
what an amazing mix! hahahah well Godfrey and I make that happen with our background! ✨✨✨
Lapu lapu should meet Cyrus the great
I love Filipino food and I promise I can peel eggs 🥚 the pressure got to me my inner perfectionist was nervous to make everyone proud 😰😰😰
all the filipino dishes were sarap!!!
good news your eggs must've been super fresh. old eggs peel easier. some secrets: steam your eggs instead of boiling and soak well-cracked eggs in ice water, making sure it gets in between the flesh and the shell. btw, you're a natural in front of the camera. much love
Definitely gonna be trying the Loobia Polo with Tahdig🤩it looks amazinggg!
@@traciechakraborty3829 honestly I’m glad to hear that hahahah I do the cold water egg trick usually works well! :D
@@mutelarsorhougbe4606 omg yessss do it! :D let us know how you get along!
i’m half irish and half persian, my whole life i’ve eaten a mixture of persian dishes persian rice with irish style cooking like boiled cabbage, mashed potato, roast chicken, spring onions - and i LOVE IT!
I love the fact that they're actually cooking the food themselves from scratch.
There's no other way Persian dishes are not made any other way but from scratch
@@ardeshirfardin2206 most filipino's dont know how to cook pandesal at home because it's more convenient and cheaper to buy at a bakery.
@@seraby7151 yea, and from vendors in their bicycles who roams around in your barangay or subdivision shouting "pandesal" early in the morning
Sepi just guessed it right how us Filipinos eat Arroz Caldo. We usually serve it to someone who's not feeling well and we like to eat it during rainy season. Did she google about it? Haha
I for real had no idea that it was eaten during rainy season!!! It was just how I felt as it was raining and gloomy when I was eating it and I enjoyed it even more because of that lol 😂
@@itshellosepi whoa.. it's you, Sepi! I really enjoyed your reactions on the Filipino foods you made! I hope you could try other Filipino dishes and hoping you will like them. I'm going to cook your country's dishes too because they all look appetizing!
I mean pwedi naman sya sa umaga.. Kaso sa video sa tanghali
@@dot4515 hi hi hi!!! I enjoyed the Filipino food soooo much I will definitely need to go and try more 🤩 I’ve had a couple of Filipino desserts before / and one or two dishes but all of these were so new to me and really made me want to go and eat more Filipino food!
It's just a common thing all over the world to eat porridge when feeling ill lol
She's on point describing the perfect weather in eating arroz caldo.
I'm sick so might as well make it for myself
@@elithluxe7568 youll be healed
@@elithluxe7568 and don't forget to put vicks all over your body if you're sick. That shit work wonders haha
@@sashimae8336 vicks 🤣👏👏👌
its a hangover dish 🙈😂
I love Sepi's reactions, she's so wholesome.
You nailed the Iranian dishes. Your barbari bread looked professional! 👌
Filipino food looked great as well!
Our profile kinda look the same. Tf 🤭😆😆
RIGHT !!!! Godfrey's Barbari was SO good I could never lol
That BarBari looked amazing !!! As an Iranian living in Alberta Canada I wish we had better Iranian stores in my area for things like BarBari !!!!
Are you kidding me? Did you see that kookoo sabzi? I was cringing hard ...that recipe was sooooo wrong
@@sabade. he literally made it the first time lol
also Sepi, dipping the pandesal in the stew is perfectly fine. heck we even dip it in freshly brewed hot black coffee! everyone should try it!
black coffee sounds d e v i n e !!! I am doing it 100%
@@itshellosepi reheated leftover pandesal is best best with spicy sardines too.. and yeah, you have to experience dunking the hot pandesal in hot coffee👌🏼
@@rickg8015 y u m !!!
Dipping pandesal in hot cocoa brings back such good childhood memories 🥰
she's spot on with arrow caldo for rainy days, and when you're feeling a lil under the weather 😄
It's Jolly good to see Sepi here! Hope you enjoy more Pinoy food.
Sepi, you described arroz caldo perfectly! Definitely a staple when someone gets a cold, the flu, or sick in general. Truly feels like a nice, comforting hug. True Filipino comfort food. 😋🤗
🤗
Ok I’m going to need these two to continue swapping dishes bc Iranian and Filipino are two of my all-time favorite cuisines. More Sepi and Godfrey please! 😩
we promise we will make appearances together! Godfrey's great my work bestie :D
@@itshellosepi You and Godfrey have a great vibe! I was even lowkey shipping you guys. haha But I'd settle for you guys being besties. :)
More content of you two together, please.
AMEN !!!!
I love that these two are British but they’re making each others cultural foods and not just being served it. That’s so dope.
as a filipino living for 20 years and eats pandesal every other day my whole life ive never thought of making one! O.o might as well try
~ this is a sign ~ it was so fun to make! Needed a lot of time to rest etc but VERY worth it because the fluffiness!!!
YOU BOTH DID SOOOOO WELL!!!!!!! All the dishes turned out so good and so much flipping action
love u Mavis
My mum would put saffron in our arroz caldo so I guess that's like a Persian-Filipino crossover.
now that’s what I love to hear! The collab I didn’t know needed to happen in food but definitely should happen 😍
A very expensive aroz caldo.
My mom adds saffron too, in our lugaw 😂
Fish sauce is the secret
Better than the fusion arrozcaldo with century egg and gold flakes
And btw Mexican caldereta is way too different from the Philippines
In Mexican the main ingredients there are pigs intestines, liver and lungs and even the ox tripe and it’s red not because of tomato paste/purée or tomato sauce but because there’s a lot of chilies on it that makes darker red colour
Whereas in Filipino version it’s more on subtle side it’s pork or beef meat sometimes shanks can be use then carrots, potato or sweet potato, then green beans tomato sauce, tomato purée/ paste and chickpea
Filipino caldereta is actually originally either goat or oxtail meat. Beef Caldereta and Pork Caldereta are just modern day alternatives.
@@thwb4661 for you not for everybody
@@hyunjinki1995 What's with the attitude? I'm just telling you Caldereta in the Philippines is originally a goat meat. I'm not saying it's my choice or something.
@@hyunjinki1995 suplado jajajajjaa
Omg, I love Persian rice/tahdig and the crispy bits you get at the bottom!
You two are genuinely really likeable people with really good energies.
I love how they actually cooked it themselves instead of just eating already prepared food.
Makes me want to cook! Lol
And bake... Bread... Which has been my enemy lol
That Persian rice dish looked off the hook!!! Paired with the bread....I bet it was heaven😊
Bread is my enemy as well 😆
right! im iranian and i would NEVER bake noon barbari, just go down the street and buy it fresh.
im a cook had a license. you dont want to eat food youve already smelled it will not be as delicious thats why cold store foods for tomorrow tastes great
Omgg I've watched Sepi since forever on KoreanEnglishman imagine my excitement when I saw her on the clip!! Yay Sepi! ♥️♥️♥️
Now I see why Sepi left Korean Englishman/JOLLY. I want to assume she left the team on good terms, especially with everything Josh and co. went through the past 2 years. Hopefully, there was no drama involved.
The bright side to all this is, we get to see more of Sepi on camera. Glad she loved the Filipino dishes she had. As a mainland Filipino, I'm glad Godfrey chose the slightly lesser-known dishes for Sepi to try. I love Kaldereta & Arroz Caldo.
Loveeee seeing the Iranian representation in this, (we need more) the food is so good yet underrated too 🥰 hope to see more dishes too, the kebabs are soon good
speaking straight facts! oh you know it Iranian kababs - 100% the best (I might be bias lol)
I'm Filipino and my ex is from Iran. This video gave me so much feels.
they did so well!! please do this again, love both of their energy so much
There are so many dishes that could be covered this could be a continual segment. One dish a month or a week. Ghormeh Sabzi, Chicken Adobo, Haleem, halo halo, faludeh. The list just keeps going. Amazing work to both of you!
I love that she dipped her pandesal in the kaldereta gravy. I’d surely do that same.
The Iranian bread looks delicious. And that Rice with lamb, it's scrumptious,
She did a great job choosing simple dishes not to make it to complicated for him 👍👑🇮🇷👑✌️
thank you 🥺 I’m glad someone mentioned this as I didn’t want to dive straight into the more difficult / more long winded dishes! There’s a lot of elements to our cuisine so a softer introduction is great and people don’t showcase these dishes as much and it’s more of a realistic of what I eat hahahah💓
Thank u for creating and uploading u guys!
I would like to see them switch Iranian and Filipino food again. That was fun and heartwarming to watch. / Iranian
merci!!! thank you 🤗 we are happy if you are happy :)
Incredibly happy to see the presenters cooking the dishes themselves since Ive learned some recipes from it. And seeing our Filipino cuisine being appreciated is heartwarming, since it is not very well represented in the UK as compared to Asian cuisine such as Thai, Japanese, or Chinese.
I've been feeling under the weather and this video inspired me to make the Filipino Arroz Caldo & MAMAAAAAAA it is good. My soul is happy. If you try it, make sure you top it with a squeeze some lemon wedge & diced green onion before eating. A hug in a bowl 💖
I'm glad that you like it! It's also one of the best hangover foods 🤫
Wow cool.
my filipino fam do that tooo!! but instead of lemon we use calamansi! calamansi is def a staple in filipino dishes ☺️
@@mia-jb4xc oooh thank you! I'll have to try that😁
Sepi and Godfrey seem like angels on earth, love how open they are to diff foods and cultures and they are genuine human beings
My mom is Filipino and my husband is Iranian. This was a video I needed to watch.😂
I see Filipinos liking the 3rd Iranian dish easily.
There are number of Persian restaurants in the Philippines. A number of Iranians have settled there and established restaurants, mostly serving Shawarma and Kebab.
We Filipinos don't usually eat lamb meat but replace that with ground beef, and I'd easily eat that thing.
I'm no longer in the Philippines (I live in the US now) and I badly miss kebab on top of basmati rice.
Shawarma and kebabs arent even Iranian tho
@@ayxxn4931 Actually beef/lamb Kabab is as old as fire! However minced Kabab which is Kubideh in Persian meaning “grind or mince” was first invented by a master chef for Ardeshir Babakan the founder of the Sassanid empire in Iran/Persia and nearly 400 years later after Arab’s conquest of Persia/Iran, it got introduced to the outside world by the Arabs.
@@fanzy1338 It was made before by the ottomans
@@ayxxn4931 Lol, neither Ottoman or even Turkey existed at that time.
Shawarma is my favvv foreign food ever👌🏻
Beautiful food and such a great vibe 💕I loved this. Thank you
Miss Sepi, as a Filipino, Thank you so much for the appreciation! I must say that I absolutely love Iranian Foods, and I will look forward to try it! 😇
thank you so much for your kindness! I know my attempts weren’t perfect but I tried my best for my first time cooking these all 🧡 I love that you enjoy Iranian food! Makes me happy to hear that 🥰
@@itshellosepi You are welcome. Your attempts are doing well and I would like to say that you are doing better in your cooking and showing your love. Your nation is doing the best in cooking dishes that are being enjoyed by many people, like me. 🇵🇭❤️🇮🇷
@@jhasimmacalimpao1036 💛💛💛
Sepi is a great addition to the buzzfeed team. I loved in her in Jolly, and Inlove her even more now.
my heart = exploding!!! this is very sweet of you to say :) hope you will enjoy future videos from all of us!
@@itshellosepi With your personality, you're gong to shine. I hope you have the best 2022.
Sepi seems to appear on all the YT channels I watch 🤣 from TSL to korean Englishman and now here! Love your energy sepi!
omg you have a reaaaaally good eye! 🤣 bless you thank you 🥺🥺🥺
Beautiful people, fantastic recipes, appreciation snd and learning of different cultures. What a great show!👍👑🤗👏🏽
@hellosepi Food is the sixth love language of Filipinos and it's the most touching gesture for us to see anyone enjoy our food. So happy you loved every dish! (spot on the Arroz Caldo!)
Kudos to Godfrey for introducing you the Filipino staples! He also makes me wanna try Iranian cuisine soon! 💜
10:04 the iranian folk music in the background is just 🤯🔥🔥
This made me so happy to watch as someone who is half Filipino and Half Iranian :) glad you guys got to experience each other’s cuisine!
Sepi's sooo adorable. Didn't know she's also on Buzzfeed! 💗
Both of you are so delightful to watch. Thank you!
Cool!! Exactly what We need!! more Persian and Filipino food representation! So nice to see that they both enjoyed and respect the food
Him cutting the bread with scissors made my day
it honestly made me realise why I hadn’t been doing that with my barbari before LOL
Loved her expressions while eating the caldereta :)
Iranians and Filipinos obviously both love rice. Nice to see this food swap video. The Kuku Sabzi looks like a really healthy meal.
That Iranian breakfast was screaming out for some fresh walnuts:)
Pinoy here and I have to say Persian food is so underrated. I personally like the rice with orange zest. Perfect match with savory Filipino dishes!
Girl, you got the idea. We usually eat Arroz Caldo on rainy days or when we are sick… it’s like a blanket that hugs you saying everything is gonna be ok…
oh I defffooooo felt that! It really was a warm hug especially in the chilly weather we have in the UK!
This was so much fun! Just openness and a positive attitude right from the beginning.
Filipino here. Sepi was on point at describing arroz caldo! Arroz caldo and its “siblings” -lugaw and goto- are comfort food for many of us. Those are often served to/requested by Pinoys when we are sick. While it is commonly eaten for breakfast, a lot of ambulant vendors are serving it all day. I personally don’t mind eating it any time of the day. The fact that Sepi sensed the ginger means she did an amazing job at sautéing it! One thing though. I think it would have been better with more liquid so it doesn’t feel mushy.
Pan de Sal as an Ice Cream sandwich is really good as well.
- runs to buy ice cream -
Ha!
The persian restaurants I go to in l.a. always have a lot of filipino customers.
I love rice with cherries and the rosewater ice cream...so so good!!
I absolutely enjoyed this video. It made my heart smile. 🥰
You both made the dishes so well i love this
I like these two they're so fun. Dishes looked good too, well done.
its crazy to see both my cultures in one video. makes me so happy to see this!
I am very jealous you grew up with both these cultures!! What a beautiful mix! :D
Love this. So wonderful to share cultures so respectfully. I need to make these recipes, they look delicious.
What dishes you prepare are just fantastic and looks sumptuous. Thank you
Wow, these dishes were mouth-watering! Now I'm thinking of having some of these dishes to spice up my otherwise routine eating lifestyle. Sepi and Godfrey, please make more videos together, PLEEZ!! 💗😍
I agree on all counts lol
Iranian food is very tasty. I have been to Iranian restaurants in London and the food was delicious. 💖💖
Stephanie from London
i'm so happy when one of y'all emphasized washing rice, i'm so happy y'all do that.
Thanks for the video! Watching you guys made me real happy!!!
we are happy that we could make you real happy! :D
That Iranian thadig (sp?) looked absolutely delicious!! I gotta try it.
yummmmy yes please do! You can even make it with Pasta we love doing it that way too (Italians might not love us for that hahaha)
I only recently discovered macaroni tahdig and blamed my Mister for not introducing to me earlier. I cooked it 4 weeks in a row just to salvage what I've missed these past few years 😅
@@emily_joon the best!!!!!! it's so good right! also love your username ahahaha Emily joon! :D I love saying joon to my friends :)
There are a lot of Iranian in my University, CEU, in the Philippines taking up Dentistry and they have a Persian restaurant at the back of our school. I always eat there when I have enough money to do so.
it’s time to make friends (if you haven’t already) with some of the Iranians / Persians and give them a salam at the restaurant and you’ll instantly become friends ! we love seeing people try our food and appreciate our culture :) I hope you can enjoy some Iranian food soon 🤩
@@itshellosepi shawarma/kebab is the only iranian food ive ever tasted.. Love shawarma i can eat it everyday!
@@mugenjin1986 my personal favorite Persian dish is ash reshteh. Good soup :)))))
@@mugenjin1986 Shawarma is an Arabic food, Persian kebabs are famous but different from other kebabs in the region.
This is very nice: Pinoy and Persian representation, together! Like here in the Philippines, the Iranian community may be small but their reach is so wide they are actually very friendly some have made it to the underground/subculture scene already. My mother partly spent her teenage years between Isfahan and Tehran so she knew Farsi and the culture plus food so Sepi's feature is awesome, and the Pinoy too cause that is given. I like their presentation regardless that they are UK-based, as long as they are familiar with their roots' food, everything is appreciated.
You're so sweet. Thanks for your lovely comment ❤
I Loved ❤the exchange of cultures and food through swapping recipes. It was a joy to watch. 😊
I love this so much. Their passion for food and culture is so lovely.
I love seeing all of this representation. I can’t wait to try some of these recipes.
Sepi's description of arroz caldo is spot on. Yes, our mom (at least mine) will bring us arroz caldo when we are sick....we like it when it is cold and raining...I dont know if she mentioned that we can also eat it after drinking alcohol
I just found my new favorite person on the net! I love how Sepi enjoyed her dishes!
loved this representation! very diverse and fresh!! And ofc loved seeing the food🥰
love that I got to learn more about Iranian and Filipino food!! hehe thank you guys for this great video, the food looked so good 💖💖
This was so fun to watch!Love it!
You're absolutely right, we also eat aroz caldo when it's rainy, when we're not feeling well or sick
Another common spread you would typically accompany with pandesal is reno liver spread( yes a bit weird but trust me it’s delicious)
nah that sounds so good I would totally try it!
thank you sepi for appreciating our Filipino cuisine ♥️♥️
thank Godfrey for bringing more amazing Filipino food into my life I feel so happy 🤗 lemme know any dishes I should try! I want to go eat some more / try cooking some!
hahaha ... 2 minutes in and the edits are funny! viva food lovers of all corners of all the world
the way she tries the pandesal and rice with the beef stew at the end is proper food lover move! good stuff!
This is so wonderful!
omg this is amazing! i get to learn about delicious foods from both countries. also they did so well! i’ll probably mess up the first time 😂
Sepi!!! Go glad to see you thriving with Buzzfeed!
I love these two! Theyre so fun!!
Omg sepi!! I love watching you in jolly & korean englishman 💗 so glad to see you in this video! ☺️❤️
that Iranian food looks great.. i wanna try it
