When you say bagoong to ilocano it is the bagoong na isda by default and that is the bagoong we use for pinakbet. Unlike in the tagalog regions bagoong to them refers to the bagoong alamang. 😊
Agreed. Bagoong is never alamang for us ilocanos/pangasinenses :)
This is the first time I heard of bagoong na isda 😱 I’m allergic to bagoong alamang, hmm might try the bagoong na isda if I find one, baka sakaling its the one for me 🤞🏻
Is Bagoong Isda same as Ginamos? Just curious. Thanks.
Same with ilonggo. Bagoong is fish, while alamang called ginamos. In visayas, their bagoong and ginamos are fish😊
Yah, bagoong isda ♥️♥️♥️
Ang galing nung nakuha nyong local resource person. He knew how to explain things and he knew what he was talking about. Di tulad ng iba kung ano-ano lang sinasabi. Being Ilocano myself I know what he was saying was right.
the bald guy was eloquent. Good interaction and has lot of details. kudos!
Kaming mga ilocano talaga mahilig sa gulay. Pakbet, dinengdeng, inabraw etc. Ilaga lang ang mga gulay tapos isasawsaw sa bagoong (bogguong) Yummmm!!!
What I love about Erwan is that he is nice, friendly and "hindi maarte". You will never feel intimidated. More power to the team!
Watching over and over again❤️More power featr!
Yaaas, he's cuteee too😍, Anne's so lucky.
I love how Erwann eats 😂. Sooo tempting. As if everything is sooo yummy. Maybe he can also try Cagayan Valley one time. I'd love to see how that place looks like, more than the foods bec.most probably, they are just the same --- bagnet, pakbet, paitan, etc.
This is so true about eating vegetables. Both parents' roots hail from Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur. But the Ilocanos from Ilocos Norte eat a lot of FRESH vegetables. I grew up abroad and in Makati, but boy, we ate a LOT of vegetables! We always had 2 dishes with rice. Our meat dishes always had to be paired with a vegetable dish. I remember saying, 'oh, no, they're feeding us grass and flowers again!' Lol we were literally eating flowers! (kalabasa flowers and boiled katuray -- kaway-kaway mga batang Ilocano) OMG hated them, the bitterness gave me headaches. We were eating out-of-this-world vegetables that no kid should ever eat haha. But now that I'm older, I couldn't eat any dish without a vegetable dish on the side. My meal is always incomplete without them. Don't forget, we eat a lot of fresh seaweeds, too! (arurusep, gamet, kulot, pukpuklo - hope I spelt them right).
Beautiful story! Stay tuned for the rest of our adventures in Ilocos! Make sure to subscribe. 😉
@@featrmedia Can't wait. I've been subscribed since the very beginning of this channel..
I grew up in Pangasinan and my maternal family comes from Burgos. Both my parents are Ilokano, and it's the same here. Sometimes I feel weird around non-Ilokano Pinoy here in America who eats a LOT of meat. And I'm here like, I grew up eating more vegetables than meat.
@@shahani6037 Yes, I can totally relate!! I think it's become a pet peeve of mine when I see people eat JUST meat. I always have this urge to tell them they're missing the vegetables. But of course, I keep my mouth shut to avoid being stared at 😂
I'm an Ilocano from Pangasinan, but yeah same story here hahaha.
My mom is ilocano and I was born here in America. I loved watching this to learn more about my mom’s roots. I feel so in touch with Filipino culture especially the culture my mom grew up with. I know a lot of people need videos like this since not everyone has the luxury to travel to their home country often. Watching these kind of videos on Featr really educate others and help people get in touch with their culture. ♥️🥰
Almost like me, my dad is Ilocano and I was born in the USA too.
This explains the 3.18 M subscribers. Super in deep presentation of Ilocano food and delicacies that surely made me the viewer WOWed all through out the video.
Thank you for the kind words! 🫶🏼
I am an ilocano. Everything that taste bitter we consider it as medicine or can cure like ampalaya that has many benefits and other leafy veg.
My grandfather emigrated from ilocos Norte to Hawaii 100+ years ago. I don’t know anything about ilocano traditions but this video really opened my worldview. I’d love to go to ilocos for a visit. Thanks Erwan!
It’s noticeable in this video how Filipinos are great English-speakers too!
Dear Mr. Heussaff, I want to say thank to you for featuring Ilocano food. You are one of those food analysts who gives comprehensive descriptions of the food that you are eating. This way, people will understand more the culture behind the food.
Great co-host, he really knows what he is talking about. Unlike the co-hosts from the other channels, they just laughed all throughout the video.
I grew up in Hawaii, the highest ilocano population in the United States. When I moved to Las Vegas , I was sad I couldn’t find ilocano places to eat. Love ilocano foods 😋
Would that Oahu town be Waipahu?
@@georgeacenas2349 close. Kalihi
Proud Ilocano from the US. When I need to lose weight for summer body, I eat ilocano keto diet.
My late grandparents & late mom is from Ilocos Sur San Juan and my late Dad is 1st Generation Ilocano born & raised in Hawaii (1925) and I’m 2nd Generation(1964) my kids are 3rd generation mixed ethnicities and ALL LOVE the Ilocano Style Northern Dishes…btw 90% Filipinos in Hawaii are Ilocano…Tagalogs we’re the LAST wave coming to Hawaii😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Empandad is one of my fave ilocano food!!!! Really love it!
My hubby is an ilocano ..grew up in Abra.
Nothing beats ilocos empanada! When we had a tour around ilocos, i will not miss a stop where i don't eat empadana
Honest suggestion… Erwan this is the perfect time for you to incorporate you speaking the local dialect or Tagalog…..
So you can be understood perfectly well and appreciated to the max!!!
My Ilocano friends are one of the best cook ever i always eat a lot when i eat in their house🥺
I already enjoyed the 1st 2 minutes of this video. Can't wait to spend the next few minutes!
Ilocano breakfast usually consists of parboiled leafy greens or vegetables (okra, eggplant, sili) dipped in bagoong with sliced kamatis and sibuyas.
Tinuno nga tarong, okra sili sawsaw sa bagoong kalamansi or kamatis.. literal na breakfast namin noon,, after magsaing deretso ihaw ng gulay
Add talbos ng kamote and tuyo na may maanghang na sukang sawsawan!!
if other people hear ilocano foods they always talk about empanada, bagnet and longganisa.. what they dont know there is, there's so much more to offer when it comes to ilocano dishes.. glad you tasted genuine ilocano foods that most Filipino doesnt know.. there are still a lot of hidden gems that you should try-- from veggies to meat definitely u will enjoy😊
I am Ilocana/Filipina-American and extremely proud of my roots! My family is from Binalonan, Pangasinan. I love Ilocano dishes (e.g., dinengdeng, pinakbet, etc.) with all the vegetables and kankanen tupig is my fave. Thank you for sharing Erwan and team.
Love illocano food. I was born and raised in Hawaii and grew up eating illocano food. Parents made their own bogoong, had our own garden full of veggies in backyard, and even butchered our own live proteins once in awhile for family gatherings.
The video was really great! Well-researched, very informative. However… I’d like to point out that San Nicolas is a different town/municipality from, and is adjacent to Laoag. You get good bagnets at their market there. I know some people from Laoag actually get their bagnets from San Nicolas. Gotta give them credit for that. 😊
Not hating on the whole video or anything. Just putting this information out there for everyone. 🫶🏻
Kudos to you Sir Erwan for featuring a local food in the Philippines and you are not “maarte” and just genuinely eating the food. You are a great food vlogger. ❤ I also like how those interviewees are speaking in english. 😊😊😊
I love ilocano dishes thank you to my husband diego a pure ilocano and i am from mandaluyong i love their pinakbet,dinendeng,longanisa,bagnet,papaitan ,fresh salad gulay
This is one of the calmest food review. I've seen mark wiens, sonny and strictly dumpling , but Erwan's reviews is more satisfying
Proud Ilocana here.. ❤😊 thank you Erwan for featuring our dishes…
i love tinupig and bibingka, feels like home
I'm so grateful... nkakataba din ng puso. See how we, ilocanos are very good in cooking. As i watch your vid im so very proud coz we are able to speak in english fluently. Char.... imiss my hometown ilocos norte.
Thank you po for advertising ilocos. GODBLESS.. greetings from AUH,UAE
As a Ilocano who lives in the states, my parents and relatives grow their own vegetables in their backyard too. So it’s so cool to learn that it happens back home in the Philippines too. ❤
Miss my hometown!!!! Thanks for visiting!!! Watching frm Hawaii
Kudos to Erwan and the whole FEATR team! May you continue to make Filipino cuisine be known to the world.
Gotta love Erwan ❤ walang halong arte. Kahit san siya kumain game na game siya haha
I'm half Filipino and my father is from La Union. He is very bias to say that the best Illocano food he's ever had are in San Juan and San Fernando, La Union. I may have to show him this video to convince him to take us to Laoag the next time we go back to the Philippines!
The province I will definitely go back. Best empanada can't compared dun sa nabibili sa mall sobrang yummy and bagnet.. fresh food in all karinderyas kasi konti yung fast food jan kaya fresh and lutong bahay. Sarap bumalik
There are fast foods in malls and some sorounding areas not just in laoag. But still carinderias are everywhere too. 😊
I like you guys because you are showing the raw Filipino culture through local food. May you continue doing that, it's nice!
I thought erwan is shy in a public were so happy for you that you doing vlogger, my first to see you in close up smile now more handsome on TV.👍♥️we love so much your wife she's a good actress,hosting,singer I like so much when she's always bulol n showtime that's why we love so much Ann Curtis .♥️👍
From Ilocos Norte here! Proud! Town po pala ang San Nicolas, hindi po siya part ng Laoag City, bale two towns na po yun San Nicolas and Laoag. Thank you po 🥰
Save the best for last. ☺️ Happy to see my uncle on your channel. He owns Milky's Farm.
Erwan is such an exeptional vlogger, very fluent, detailed,exploratory,intelligent, and really brave specially when he explored my place in Mindanao.
His vlog on Basilan is one of the best…
Exhilarating
Unforgettable Mae
I'm glad he showcased Sulu cuisine, sadly underrepresented in stateside Filipino restaurants. Why downplay our connection to the larger Malay and Indonesian world? We share the tsile ingredient, our Toragan may eve n come from Indo. My Mindanao aunt is Muslim. Erwan is very down to earth- great vibe.
I am ilokano but was raised here in Mindanao. Haven't been to Ilocos, that's why now I think I should be there, all the foods there are my comfort foods, especially pinakbet. Woww hope someday I can visit Ilocos. Seems like a home I haven't been to.
my lola was ilokano as well and was raised in Mindanao.. i think kidapawan. we grew up with her here in manila. she cooked a lot of ilokano food when she was still alive!
@@nashjacinto9473 woww we were from the same province. Im also in North Cotabato. Kidapawan is just 30 minutes away from my university back then. Now I always pass through Kidapawan if I go back to my hometown on holidays. Missed Lola's dish as well. Bet your Lola cannot only speak/understand Ilocano, but Bisaya and Ilonggo as well!
Lalo ako naexcite umuwi. 5 years working here in taiwan. I really miss home! Proud half ilokana|bulakenya 🤣😂
Very informative! Hoping you post more videos.
Makes me want to visit to Philippines 🇵🇭 just to go there to try all these yummy dishes!
Good day Erwann! I am from Laoag City and I would like to clarify that San Nicolas isn't part of Laoag but instead another Town. Anyways, love that you feature the Ilocos finest foods. Hope you could have also visited Paoay's cornick/chichacorn in Namnamas Food Products 🤗
bat paksiw tawag nyu sa papaitan?
@@michaelp.7694 iba po siya sa papaitan eh. Hindi sya talaga papaitan.
@@andreacaliflores21 eh bat paksiw?
Auntie Glory's Empanada is the best empanada in Northern Luzon. Thanks Erwan for featuring Glory's Empanada.
I am an Ilocano from Bantay, Ilocos Sur. Thank you for liking our native Ilocano foods.
God... I missed my old school Ilocano dad suddenly. Pinakbet, dinengdeng, inabraw, pupuklo seaweeds, pinapaitan always bring back memories... my old man is from San Narciso, Zambales but his parents are from Ilocos Sur.
Milky's Lechon baka is the best! ❤️ Thank you for featuring Ilocos Norte, Sir Erwan! 🎉
We absolutely enjoyed our visit! When was the last time that you went to Ilocos?
@@featrmedia I'm a proud Ilocana po. ❤ And Milky's Lechon Baka is one of our favorite here in Ilocos Norte. 🤗
Thank you Erwan for picturing our Ilocano Food.
I love ur contents FEATR. May you continue what you do. Big thanks
I appreciate the attention to detail specifically into the audio. Galing ng crew ng FEATR!!! Padayon!!!
I miss my province!! Proud to be an Ilokana. Thank you, Erwan and team! 🇵🇭
I miss my Province. We the Ilocanos here in California grow our own Vegetables.
Ilocano Filipina American here. My family is from Bacarra Ilocos Norte. I haven’t been back to the Philippines since I was younger thank you for representing our food ❤️
ilocanos has the most delicious foods
I love the Ilocanos simply because I'm a big fan of the greatest Ilocano Ferdinand Marcos❤ My friends in Texas are Ilocanos we share food all the tine❤
What a beautiful way of featuring the authentic Ilocano cuisine. Thanks FEATR for transporting me back to my younger years. I remember back then going to public market early weekend morning and be overwhelmed with the smell of fresh produce, what a bliss.
Im getting hungry watching your Videos 🤤 i'll visit them someday when i visit the Philippines ❤
I remember my early childhood having empanadas outside the Immaculate Conception Church in Batac as it was just getting dark. There's nothing like it in the world. It's so good😋😋😋🧡🧡🧡
I love Ilocano food,especially dinengdeng.The best!
Proud Ilocan watching from Chicago, Illinois take care and God Bless
Wow !! My mother is Ilocano from La Union and I lived in Laoag city in the early 80’s seems like soo much have changed ! Thanks Erwan ❤️
erwan really appreciate you showing the culture and the delicacy of the Philippines
Ilocano Provinces are the places you could find healthy and chunky people because they love to eat fats and proteins. Vegetables are always the side dishes. Good finds Erwan not bad for a city man. We love you.
IS THAT SO, MORE CHUNKIER THAN IGOROTS FROM CORDILLERA?? NAH I DONT THIN SO HAHA
Thank you for the feature of Ilocano foods from Ilocos Norte. I’m adding this place to my bucket list.
Mmmmm! My family is from Pangasinan, but the food is very similar to Ilocano cooking. I used to absolutely hate papaitan, but now that and kilawen are my favorite gout-inducing goodness! lol Used to also hate pinakbet because of all the veggies, but my mom cooks a MEAN pinakbet too 😋
Just started watching your videos...friendly,simple..walang Arte like Anne...and charming❤..I would ❤ to visit those places too.
Erwan you should try go with the people working in the rice field, you will be surprise what kind of food people bring with them during lunch time in the middle of rice field
Next time you should try their dragon fruit ice cream in Paoay. It's so good.
Nakakamiss! It’s so nice to see erwan eating ilocano dishes in my hometown. Enjoy. You should try lidameros also.
There's another version of bibingka in Ilocos Norte's market. It's mostly called "Chinese bibingka" or "Pawa" it's one of my favorite delicacies back home in Ilocos Norte! And don't forget to try the dragon fruit ice cream too!
Ilocos Nortw Market is clean wow!
I'm proud I'm from San Nicolas Ilocos norte dawangs and San Nicolas Public Market 😻
The best version of dinuguan right there. Crispy dinardaraan. In ilocos pig's blood are already mixed with vinegar to prevent coagulation and the color is blood. Here in manila it has na vinegar and color red makes it hard to approach.
Nagimas met detan sir🥰
Proud ilokano here🤗
Hello! Erwin it’s nice to see you as a chef and cooking specialty Filipino foods! Love it coz my husband is Ilocano hehe ❤ NJ.USA
Thank you for sharing and always demonstrating how different each region is different from another in the Philippines. Maybe in the future you could demonstrate how almost each locale region or province is different from another. Granted you would eat more. But then again, why not. All pinoy food is awesome and tasty. Salamat Po!!!
nice to feature our hometown Erwan..thank you
Thank you for featuring our Home town of Ilocos Norte 👍Sir. Erwan
Yaaas, Erwan! I love chunky vegetables too! Love everything on this videooooo
Mas masarap ang luto ng Ilocanos sa mga Igado and other meats kapag mga "padaya or party". I remember pati po yung pari na nagbless ng bahay dto sa Manila sobrang nainlove sa Igado na niluto ng Ilocano na kasambahay namin.
So nice to see you in Laoag. I lived in Laoag until age 17. I miss the food in ilocos! Certainly brings back memories. Thanks for this video
San Nicolas Market is actually located in a town next to Laoag City. I buy my food there and they actually have better to offer compared to other markets in other towns/cities here in Ilocos Norte. Good decision to start there :D
This vlog is right on time. I feel like Erwan is preparing me for the food in Ilocos Norte. My family and I will be there soon. Thanks for this food vlog❤️🙏🏻
I even forgot La Moda! Buhay pa pala up to this time❤
Naalala ko tuloy yung lola ko pag nag luluto sya ng pinakbet na may kasamang ALLUKON.👍
I am now craving for Ilokano dish. Kept wondering what the paksiw was until I remember we call it sinanglaw. It is such a comforting food and quite tasty too. Hope you can also go up north to Cagayan Valley in the future and taste their version of Ilokano cuisines.
gotta say, i love how he adjusts and speaks in Filipino when talking to the locals. kudosss!!
Mouth-watering dishes. Ilocana here😊
Grabe ka na erwan nakakatakam na mga pini feature mo ☺️
I am Ilocana/Filipino-American but grew up with Ilocano dishes. I am proud to call myself FBI (full blooded ilocano) 😂 pinakbet is my fav dish!!
Proud ilocano here,, galing nmn ni erwan,,,
Makalaway man!
Thank you for correcting this gentleman about the Ilocanos having more protein in their dishes. Traditionally, stewed or sautéed vegetables have more first and foremost for Ilocanos. And fish has been the preferred sahog. It’s only been most recently that bagnet and longganiza have been popularized mainly due to tourism.
You can really see the good quality of each vlog they make, I love watching your videos and listening to the stories behind. ❤️
Whoa! Absolutely loved this episode! Need more of these 💜💜
