      Remember, without a big family, you won't survive in the Philippines. With your wester mentality and without money or without a big family, you won't do long in those provinces. It look nice as a tourist, but those poor people are going trough problems also. When someone die, they have to beg door to doors to get money to buries the dead person. That is the real reality

    When I was there visiting family with a my wife and a white friend of mine from the states we were staying in a fishing village and we kind of adopted some kids that lived in the house we were staying in, one day we walked the kids to school just to experience a typical day in the life of the Philippines, believe it or not that was a cool experience for us everyone was so nice, we met several teacher and the school principal got to watch them do their morning exercises and sing their nation anthem it was cool seeing the different culture and everywhere we went people were so kind and nice to us we were the only 2 white people in the village and we kind stood out, smiles and waves from everyone and I was shocked at how happy everyone there was despite the obvious poverty, proof that you don’t have to be rich to be happy, those kids we took to school we spoiled while we were there and now years later they sill call me Tito (uncle) Mike and I keep in touch with the whole family through FaceBook, I’m looking forward to going back and seeing those kids as young adults.

    Nothing beats province life 🏝. So chill, peaceful, everything fresh, laid-back, lots of smiles and a lot of things to do with natures. That's "ginataang langka" can be with pork or fish and spicy is better. That's what we have just a couple of days ago. With string beans, bitter squash, bitter melon and lots of spicy peppers or jalapeños. Sauce - calamari. Life's good 😎. Watching from San Francisco CA 🇺🇲 🫶🇵🇭

      ​​​@@travelescapesOFFICIAL ginataan or ginataang langka is actually a Tagalog words. Gata means Coconut milk, Ginataan means with coconut milk, Langka means Jackfruit thus making it to Ginataang Langka. For Bisaya, the Jackfruit is Nangka...and the Coconut milk is Tunu...but in my place we called is Sunob. So the Bisaya Term is Tinunuang Nangka...or in my place it is Sinunubang Nangka..For sure it has other term in other parts of the Visayas or the whole Philippines.😂

    Because you're in Bohol, we call this yummy food as 'tinunuang nangka' or a young jackfruit in coconut milk. It's so yummy especially when added with ginger, garlic, spring onions and bell pepper, and with dried anchovies (if you can eat dried fish) and sometimes pork (a rare option). This is one of my favorite food.

    Awesome video and the little lady there was so absolutely adorable!!! I so prefer these type of videos as opposed to all the 5 star hotel/resorts/malls/touristy areas that everyone else has shown. If you're going to live in the Philippines you should learn about their culture, and no better place to do it than in the province. Just being kind and respectful goes a long way, but pitching in and trying to help and learn goes even farther. You are a great ambassador for foreigners and let the locals see that not all foreigners are the same, there are some good hearted ones that want to be a part of their life style too.

    ⭐️ Here, we call each coconut pressing stage a different name (Tagalog):
    1. First press with a little water is KAKANG GATA (coconut cream). Separate that.
    2. A second press is made with a little more water is just GATA (coconut milk). It’s important in reading recipes which consistency is needed- milk or cream. It’s the same thing just more water is milk. Generally stews call for cream and soups call for milk. Cooking it too long will quite sadly turn it into oil. Still delicious but not creamy. It’s especially critical in making Bicol Express.
    Sadly, we know only to throw away the pulp. That can actually be still useful. I think you can extract coconut butter from it-which sooo delicious. I can be wrong. But I imagine you can use a mechanical press and squeeze every last drop of it into a very oily mix. Pour that into a a centrifuge and you separate butter.

    Funny thing with jackfruit, if it's ripe, it's a fruit, if you cook it, it's a vegetable.

And we can even have lechon any time we want and anything in between including quail eggs, turkeys, ducks, chickens, goats, etc.. The Geese and dogs are off limits though to the menu because they guard the whole property.

    I tried climbing the coconut tree when we went to visit the Philippines, and it was hard. I didn’t even make it to the 2nd notch because I kept on slipping. I’m actually impressed that you were able to get up there more than halfway.
    Love the jackfruit in coconut milk dish so much! Personally, it’s best to simmer the jackfruit in coconut milk for a longer period of time in order to create a more concentrated creamy sauce & a more pronounced flavor.

    This is one of the variety of food using gata in the Philippines. This is a "ulam version" but when the jackfruit is ripe we cook it also with coconut milk, banana, sweet potato, purple yam and rice flour to make a sweet dish called "ginataang bilo-bilo"/ginataang halo-halo at Batangas.

    @MyUeueToob Год назад +7

    Maayong adlaw sa imo Jonathan!
    Let me help your Filipino friends from this vid, my beautiful kababayans, give you some perspective and context:
    Jackfruit (lang'ka in tagalog, nang'ka in cebuano) is a favorite fruit for a dish, either for main meal or for dessert. The young unripen jackfruit is the one that is used for cooking as a dish as it cannot be eaten raw as is (I don't think it tastes good raw, sticky and all...). I believe in the vegetarian world, it is what is commonly used as animal meat substitute. The meat of the mature or ripe jackfruit (distinctive yellow color) is the one that is commonly used for desserts - halo-halo, ginata-ang halo-halo (tagalog) or binignit (cebuano). The seed of the mature or ripe jackfruit is also used in some regional delicacies.
    Young coconut (bu'ko in tagalog, butong' in cebuano), are always green, eaten as is or most of the time used for desserts.
    ***REMEMBER THIS: When you buy bu'ko from a vendor on a side street or a stall or from anywhere, after you finish drinking the juice, ask the vendor to crack open your bu'ko. Then, using a spoon, you can scrape the tender bu'ko meat and eat it - super yummy and refreshing. Rich in fiber and MCT, contains many antioxidants! Super healthy food!***
    On the other hand, mature or ripe coconut (niyog' in tagalog, lubi' in cebuano) are sometimes green-ish and most of the time brown. The mature coconut juice is not customarily drank straight because it is in a way, somewhat fermented so you have a hint of acidity hitting your palate. Pangka'yod (tagalog) or Kudku-ran' (cebuano) is the one you sat on ("like on a horse") to scrape on the tough flesh of the mature coconut. Again, the scraped flesh of a mature coconut is NOT customarily eaten as is, and most of the time the meat is sucked off its liquid milk and used for cooking dish or for dessert. You may also find them commercially in the baking aisle section of the grocery as desiccated coconut.
    Mango (mang-ga' in Filipino) - I have seen you enjoy our yellow ripe mango, super rich and delicious! Again, the ripe ones are usually eaten as is, fresh or dried, or mostly as a dessert ingredient. On the hand, the unripe green mango, in and on itself has its own distinctive bite and taste, flavor, aroma, texture and of course, gastronomic experience. We Filipinos, savor our green mangoes with bago-ong', dipped or slathered. Bago-ong', depending on which region you are from, could either be shrimp or fish.
    Bago-ong' alamang' (tagalog) is shrimp, ginamos' (cebuano) is fish - shrimp paste is the customary condiment pair for green mangoes. When you see vendors peddling green mangoes (all of the time in clear plastic bag), do try them with bago-ong' - if your sense of smell or taste doesn't seem to get the party vibe up your nose or in your mouth, you can always dip it in salt (local sea salt, of course).
    Tuloy' tuloy' ka lang Jonathan! (tagalog).
    Pada'-yon ka lang Jonathan! (cebuano).
    Charge on Jonathan!
