The taste was worth the pain! Although next time I’ll use half a scotch bonnet ☺️
You did great, she should have given you an easier meal for dinner. Beans and Plantains maybe
@@olaoluwadaramola6828 beans and plantains, you really want to kill the man
Hey Godfrey! could we collaborate sometime, I would love to show you how to make some of our Nigerian foods! Thank you 🙏
@@adaenechi6723Lmaooo. I'm Nigerian Filipino and this is killing me hahaahhaha. You both should have consulted me first hahahhaa
You did us Filipinos proud❤️❤️❤️
As a half Nigerian half Filipino, this is making me so happy hahahaaha
Wow
U should come home to Nigeria 🇳🇬 sometime u will love it here 🥰🥰
I bet you are so fine.
Perfect
Wow cool
Now y'all need to make these foods for each other, the "right" way so you can know how the food is supposed to taste!
Yeahh. Totally going to make a huge difference
That's what I thought they're going to prep the food and then send it to them
That’s what I thought this video was about. Clickbait at its finest
kinda hard during quarantine lol
They can’t, they are scared of getting sick
How did she just give him plain jollof without plantain and meat
My brother! It’s a crime
😶
Baby steps lol
Sacrilege!
I'm not Nigerian but after seeing how it was made I was thinking the same thing.
Lmaoooo Ada is eating like a typical nigerian Auntie .. can you wait for the food to cool down lol 😂 it’s not running away
🏃🏾♀️ lmaoooo😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂not at all. Scorching hot or no way at all lol.
Lol
We move...
True, but she hasn’t reached true Auntie status cuz she still runs from the crackling oil
Making Okra soup is hard without help from a veteran, so don’t stress yourself.
Loool not veteran😂😂
Uhhh... its made it protein. Haha, fish meat the whole shebang and various cuts from the cow.
Man im nigerian and i wish i could make okra soup.... I really wish i could. Good try though
Really? It’s fairly easy for me n I’m 19. No help whatsoever
I feel its the easiest soup to make
As Indonesian, I will make jollof rice and chicken adobo tomorrow for dinner ❤️
Would probably taste like regular Indonesian food together lol
I love both dishes as I’ve had them from different families. That sounds amazing together oh my god
Nice combo
you really love chicken adobo if you make good
add chicken and some plantain together it will taste amazing 😮💨✨
“All you basmati tingz, get out the comments!” Lol Ada was too funny, this was fun to watch!
She rlly set him up by telling him to make something she can’t even make😩 cute video/concept though❤️
Yeah I really like it
She did him dirty 😂😂
Jollof without tomato paste and chicken stock/broth. She should have watched videos on RUclips on how to make Jollof before going on this challenge. She no try abeg, time waster.
Well good on her for not doing basic rice dishes and giving him something authentic to try. A lot of the time when such videos are mad the west Africans pick the most basic dishes that have zero authenticity so it's nice that she also chose okra and pounded yam for dinner. Clearly not afraid or ashamed
@@mimiad397 I agree, but she shouldn't have recommended something she can't cook herself, how's she supposed to advise the poor boy how to make something she cannot even make herself??11
The scream I let out when I saw him put two whole scotch bonnet peppers, seeds and all, in the blender 😭
Yeah I was like oh he's going to feel that twice today.
@@jonncatron7381 lol lol
i guess im crazy then, when i make jollof i normally add 4-5 scotch bonnets
@@user-li4sv1rn2f you're superhuman lol
Dat bwoy mad. Smh. Lol. I was like poor thing
As a Filipino(now residing in Canada) who lived in in Lagos, Nigeria for a decade, this warms my heart!
Pepper soup, jollof rice, pounded yam, and beef suya are divine to me especially when really spicy!!
Nigerians I've shared our cuisine with tend to love our kare kare, lumpia, garlic fried rice breakfast combinations(tocilog/taspilog/longsilog), kaldereta, chicken adobo, and the many varieties of pansit.
Love this cultural exchange!
Wow ..what brought you to Nigeria??? I hope you enjoyed your stay
Yup, love my J Rice very tomatoey and on the spicy side.
@TheEditor107 thats ur opinion
I'm from the Philippines and I've made Jollof rice so many times from different recipes (from different people and countries at that). They've all been so good and I don't think I'm gonna stop checking out every single version I can find. 😂
Jollof rice fits the filipino palate perfectly
My boyfriend made me one too. Ughh, craves~
Yes, just like with adobo, there are many ways of making jollof rice. Every family has their own recipe, and there are different styles in different parts of West Africa. There's a lot of banter about who makes it better, especially between Nigerians and Ghanaians. I recommend the song Ghana jollof by Sister Deborah.
You should stop before you step into Ghana jollof territory
@@shichilaofa can't show your stupid face?
As in Jamaican, Caribbean and the African… I love seeing people embrace our food look at him eating yam and eggs 🥰
There are similarities as ingredients are found in Latin America,Africa & Southeast Asia. Here in the Philippines, farming communities will substitute rootcrops like sweet potato, cassava, taro and yams for rice in the meal.
Its no biggie for him as filipinos eat cassava and sweet potatoes. He adapted to it easily.
@@fessrunnymede6604 for real even just the type of meat we eat is so similar. Me and my Filipino friend were shocked to find that we both eat tripe, beef tongue, cow heart etc.
Us filipinos love yams, we have this thing called kamote
@@AratussyIttoe Yes! I love it!! We eat a lot of the same foods and Jamaica has a lot of Chinese people and has definitely influenced our style of cooking
Filipinos are used to yams. From the looks of it, the yams used here are similar to our gabi. It's a staple in sinigang (sour tamarind soup) and can be boiled and eaten plain. There are also sticky varieties and starchy ones.
Ube is also a yam, a purple yam.
@@mutya_ Yep! I think there are white colored varieties as well. Gabi is taro, sorry for the confusion, and yam is ube (for the purple ones).
I grew up in the provinces (moved around a lot) so I am more familiar with local names for the rootcrops (our daily merienda comes from those).
The starchy variety looked like doughs when he prepared it I wonder if we could do it to our ube..
pork sinigang is literally my favorite dish as a filipino but my mom doesn’t make it that often🥲cus pork can be a little speedy for us
@@megane376 Ube halaya can be substituted with sweet potato/kamote though and a little food coloring. Yes, you can make baked goods/pastries with the rootcrops. Anything starchy should work as a dough, but you have to balance with egg, shortening, milk, etc. to get a good result.
Godfrey actually did very well for his first attempt at Okro and Pounded Yam. Proud of you!
I'm Filipino and I grew up using my fingers to eat, that's why when I saw how they eat the fufu with okra soup and just by the look of it, I think it would be divine. It's just a shame that we don't have an authentic Nigerian restaurant here.
sorry but like fufu is crackin' me up
Wait until an Igbo man sees this comment lmao. Nigerian restaurant will start popping around you soon
@@feranmike1052
Lol true!! 🇳🇬
If you’re currently in the Philippines there are a lot of Nigerian/African restaurants
@@mdfz2602 a certified weeb I guess
I love seeing people get out of their bubble and try cuisines outside of what they’re used to. Food is a window into different cultures, and learning about how dishes are developed helps you understand what a country is like and what people go through.
Important notes about Adobo:
1.) You have a pork or chicken adobo variant but you can also have them together
2.) Its not as exotic as you might think and its fairly easy too cook (like way too easy even for those who don’t cook that much) since all you need is soy sauce and vinegar
3.) ALWAYS serve with rice. Most Filipino dishes are flavourful and might come off as too salty/too tangy for some people so the rice helps balance out the relatively strong taste
i like Chicken adobo my sis in law makes it every other day & yes she is Filipino
I'm definitely gonna try Chicken adobo. It looks similar to how we make Jamaican Stewed chicken.
I want to try the Tocilog. Where can I get sweet pork in the UK?
It's exotic. It's Filipino guarantee because before Spaniards came to the Philippines, Filipinos we're cooking Adobo. They just named it adobar which became adobo over time. Means "marinated" because of how we marinate the meat before cooking.
@@dominicastar you can do it with normal bacon.
Love, love love the video!!! I am Nigerian and I'm very impressed with Godfrey's attempts at the Nigerian dishes. Also, I loved all the Filipino dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner...I like how it does not consist of seafood (eventhough I am sure seafood and fish is probably to most common protein) I would definitely try all of the Filipno dishes highlighted in this video. Thumbs up Ada and Godfrey! 👍🏾👍🏾🤗❤
Funny enough, the most common protein in most Filipino dishes is pork. We consume an ungodly amount of pork - pork sinigang, pork adobo, pork tocino, pork lumpia, pork asado, pork caldereta, pork menudo, lechon... the list goes on. Next would be chicken, and then seafood. Beef dishes aren't plentiful as it's an expensive protein here and not many farms raise cattle.
@@downthispath6538 Very interesting; I appreciate the insight...I am not sure if you are even aware but, you have made me more of a fan of Filipino cooking 😍
@@downthispath6538 dont forget the Pork Sisig
While fish may be a common protein (alongside chicken and pork) for an archipelago, other seafood such as crustaceans are actually considered premium because they’re usually shipped live to restaurants or exported overseas where they would fetch a higher price.
@@traceyegbo7058 A typical Filipino easy peasy fish recipes are either deep fried or braised with a wee vinegar, onions, garlic, ginger (sometimes with soysauce) in papillote or banana leaves or clay pot (paksiw). Or a sour fish soup called sinigang. Or stuffed (with tomatoes, onions, garlic, lemons, ginger) and grilled. Or eaten raw similar to poisson cru au lait de coco (kinilaw). But I doubt you want to cook fish indoors in your flat. My mates like my salmon papillote everytime we have get-togethers around summer.
Ada did a good job for a first try. Making pancit is hard, especially in gatherings. In every Filipino family, there is this one particular tita or tito who is the best in making pancit. They are the one assigned cooking the dish cause the guest would be judging lol.
Omg, shook that she put pounded yam on the list!! She set him up haha
I wanna try Nigerian food so bad, my Sis-inlaw is Filipino and they're food is so amazing! As a Rican I love that they eat rice with everything like us lol.
Rice came from Asia that's why a lot of Asian cuisines have rice 😉
Come to LA I’ll take you to get some nigerian food
@@ADShine2022 Haha that would be awesome! I'm on the East Coast lol.
@@alistairt7544 True lol Idk why I didn't put that together 🤦🏾♂️
@@alistairt7544 actually if you go back years before the colonialism and slavery. Philippines was part of an entire archipelago that goes to PNG, and Rice became a staple when colonialism began because all the resources went to Europe and the colonialists empire still need the labors of the people they colonized so they forced the agrarian areas to grow rice, since it grows abundantly and it is cheaper to grow. that's how it became a staple in the Philippines and other colonies of Spain like PR, DR, MX, Guinea, etc.
I like how he ate with spoon and fork like an authentic Filipino.
Love the chemistry from both of these guys. Ada and Godfrey needs to do part two or needs to be paired up in other videos
I've watched many vids of this format / concept, but there was something really nice and wholesome about this particular video with this particular duo and their dishes, well done!
They both enjoyed the food and had fun for sure, both lovely people who were super respectful to the cuisine they were trying and didn't turn their nose up at anything. Because most West African dishes I actually hate, and some I won't even try because I know whats in it or how it looks (my Mother couldn't pay me to eat Shito or Fufu). These are the pair that'll give anything a go.
Yes, totally agree. They both were open and respectful, didn't complain, and tried to make the dishes well. They were both fun to watch.
Godfrey was an absolute delight.
Nigerian food looks very healthy, I’d like to try the jollof rice someday but I would have to eat it with adobo 😆
I wouldn't say it's VERY healthy, but the nutritional value definitely blows a lot of other countries cuisines well out of the water.
@@toffeelatte6042 it’s healthy am Nigerian and i can assure u it’s very healthy
@@toffeelatte6042 it’s very healthy if cooked in the right proportions
Jollof rice color is like Paella you can add seafood if in case?
I'm Filipino and live in Texas. I've just discovered African cuisine thanks to the folks who opened an African restaurant down the street. I love jollof rice and I've had discussions with the folks there about Cajun and Creole cuisine that have roots in African cooking as well. Jollof rice is very similar to Jambalaya. Except of course Jambalaya usually has some kind of protein mixed in like a paella.
How cool! Jollof usually also has plaintain and a type of meat mixed in, but I guess they wanted to keep it simple for this beginner guy!
@boripop Philippines and west africa seem to share alot of similarities in the food and overall taste. (cant speak for anyother parts of africa since im nigerian lol) Its really cool how the Philippines mixed cultural roots end up being similar to african food.
funny enough jambalaya is actually the baby of jollof and paella
first of all, tomatoes werent introduced into Africa till 1800's, the jambalaya had already been created by that time. You need TOMATOES to create the Jollof, so there is no way Jambalaya came from jollof, it might had been the other way around when thousands of African Americans went to West Africa, ex. Liberia. And Cajun and Creole have indigenous influences, lot more than African
Godfrey did his research for this one. Way better than the UK/AUS swap 👍🏼
That Pancit dish looked gooood
I'm concerned for Ada's tongue she just swallowed a scalding hot rice like are you okay honey? 🥺
I screamed. It was steaming so hot!
@@nathanmalik1697 or maybe it's just cold there, steams are a bit exaggerated on cold weather
She should be used to it as a Nigerian, we eat even while still being cooked not a big deal
I also eat it like that, if the food cools, the flavour will be supressed
@@nathanmalik1697 why do people scream for everything?
i love how ada does not offer excuses with her mess in her kitchen =)
Girl, sometimes it’s a mess no point pretending for the camera
Nigeria is a huge mess, they are used to it...
@@TommCat86 LOL, we are talking about food not politics.
Kudos to the Philippino guy esp with making the poundo. I’m so impressed!!
This is cultural appreciation and well done to both for keeping an open mind.
This was so nice to watch, really enjoyable.
Wow! I think this is a nice series! We should have more of these to promote different kinds of cuisines! Cultural appreciation, plus plus! I would love to try those yam and eggs and the lunch time spicy rice, it looks amazing!
Love the appreciation she showed for the Filipino food.
I love it when people show love to another culture
Love the enthusiasm from these peeps! Amazing looking at different meals and can’t wait to try them!
I demand more content from these two.. loved this video!!
As a filipino i have to say that Ada cooked the dishes very well! If I didn't see her cook the dishes I would have deffo thought it would have been prepared by a filipino person
This was absolutely genius and can’t wait to see more cultures swap meals 🌺🌺🌺
Great try guys!
Sunrise Cafe in Romford Market, Essex is the best for Filipino home cooked food 🇵🇭
It was really wholesome to watch this blend of culture. I would definitely love to see more like this!
This is why being taught to cook by a family/community is technology. You can’t learn it right any other way, just end up lost
I very much enjoy watching both of these two! Ada has such an infectious smile and seems like an absolute joy, Godfrey is so handsome and dat accent is killer.
I think y'all did an Excellent job! Really, really, enjoyed checking out these new foods!
Also, adore the vibe Godfrey & Ada have whilst cooking, More Please :)
Those both looked wonderful! I loved this one!
I love this idea! There's so many cultural meals out there to try and I find it so wholesome to share and appreciate each other in that way.
Filipino food is bomb af. Jollof Rice was a lovely dish to give to Godfrey and it's really easy to make too, I'm Ghanian but the Nigerians cooked J Rice back at boarding school as they were one of the largest representations and we had like some Nigerian cuisine night so they all cooked for us and Nigerian J Rice is top tier. I really like they made both of them cook the dishes rather than they just exchange it premade and prepackaged ready to be reheated, esp when no food is the same reheated as it is fresh out of the pan or oven.
Love this concept!! More collabs from these two plz!!
This was such a refreshing watch!!
He is SO handsome 😍
Honestly their enthusiasm making and trying the dishes was the best part of this video! Loved how happy and excited they were trying the food!
This is a lovely video 😍 Y'all did well and I'm really excited to try the Filipino dishes. But the pounded yam tho .. you'd so remake it in my house😭😭
This is really cute. Love the mutual appreciation.
I'm definitely loving this video. The two of them rock 👏🏽
wow this is awesome 👏🏼 thanks i brilliant idea for people who wants to try different food from different cultures but of course home cook meal is always better. thanks for sharing this
Jollof Rice is really good, i tried it many times. As a Filipino who loves spicy and rice this fits perfectly on my palate and a lot of Filipinos too. Maybe because it's rice and mostly Asians likes all kind of rice.
Eat it with fried plantains, meat, and banana
I'm filipino and my ex gf was Nigerian...I still go to Toronto every week for egusi, jollof rice and suya
This is so precious, thank you for uniting us countries😊we need it 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
This is amazing, I feel like I could learn how to make some of these now, I’m excited!
Ada!!! You forgot to tell him to season the eggs with Curry, Thyme, Salt and Pepper! 😭 It's fine though. Godfrey did well! Sorry about the spice, Godfrey. Nigerians eat a lot of pepper.
Curry and thyme in eggs?
@@deboraholufemi 🙃🙃🙃
I don't add curry and thyme in my eggs, just salt
@@deboraholufemi Yes of course although it might not be too common. I don't know about thyme but curry in egg is really nice. Someone made it for me lol and It was really nice. You can give it a try sometime.
@@victory4333 uh.. I did and I will not be trying it again.
When I was stationed in Japan wed always go to a bar that was owned by a Filipina and every friday shed cook us pancit and lumpia at the bar and I fell in love with it.
Can we take a minute a just take in all this beautifulness! This lady is freaking stunning!!!! And her smile 😩😍 so beautiful indeed!
Blessings!
Thank you so much @Buzz Feed UK and everybody involved in this video! So proud of you all and inspired! Thanks! I pray wonderful, peaceful, joyful, fun, delicious blessings for everybody and everything in The Great Everywhere! 🤟🏽😇☮️🙃🥰🪁🍓🛹🍶💖🦉🙏🥳🎂🪶💐🌞👏🦾🤪
He's complaining about the jollof being spicy whiles I'm here eating jollof with pepper sauce 😂
Can't believe she made him prepare pounded yam and okro soup😂
"This bangs..it bang's heavy!!!" That's my new english slang
Love the video concept!
I have quite a few Nigerian friends/clients here in Florida and the food they make is amazing. Glad to have them around. One of them is named Ada as well.
🤣🤣🤣 She's did him dirty with the okra soup & pounded yam (1 of my fav dishes). This was a beautiful cultural exchange. Well done👍🏾
Half black and filipino here!! I love this episode!!😅👍🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽💛
Thanks for the recipes! I LOVE pancit. That yam and egg looked good...saved the video. Going to marinate my chicken now. Thanks again! Blessings
Beautiful beautiful people each of you... Both of y'all have like the prettiest skin.
Omg loved this! Totally had the Filipino breakfast this morning 😅 and ate those naija meals everyday when I was in nigeria 💕 I love Nigerian food!! Can't wait for my husband to try Filipino food
Yay adobo is superb. Thanks for trying filipino dish. I'll try to make jollof rice. Sounds amazing dish.
I loved this video! I really enjoyed watching it 😌
Couldn't stop smiling throughout the video, great vibes!
Very nice! Good job on both of you! ❤️
Well done Godfrey! Ada was amazing as always :*
I was so geeked when I saw the Adobo Chicken on the menu. A Filipino food festival came my town once and I went because I never had Filipino food before. Everything I ate including the Adobo chicken was delicious. They had this mango ice cream that was so good I bought 2. Ada's cutting board is beautiful and I want it. It was cool seeing the different breakfast dishes. I think I'm going to try the yam and eggs for breakfast, I've never had yam before.
Would love to have a part 2 of this because there are more dishes from Nigerians and Filipinos to show.
This was a delightful video and I tell you all those foods be busting I love them all great job guys.🙌 Where's the pepper soup tho 😂!!!
They’re both so sweet❤️
MORE OF THESE SWAPS PLEASE!!! 🙆🏽♀️🔥🔥 nahhh coz it is SOOO lit frfr.. more more more.
👏🏾👏🏾 loved the vídeo
I appreciate that they cook their own meals for these videos. Gives us a chance to understand the dish better then if they used takeout versions
As a Filipino whos been very curious about making African cuisine at home, this video was just what I needed.
I've never tried any of these dishes but this was such a fun video to watch! Thank you RUclips for the random recommendation this was fun😊.
I LOVE YOU GODFREY GOD BLESS ALL YOURE COOKING....LOVE YOU HERE...
The Jolloff Rice looks amazing.
I think chicken adobo and jollof are similar in that every family has a different way of preparing them - and they are all delicious!
Loved this
Making the jollof rice and chicken adobo asap! This was a great video. Y'all are adorable!
I giggled so hard when he ate the spicy food. This was hilarious. Deserves a thumbs up. lol
I hope the algorithm continues to fuel me with videos of Godfrey
This is better than all mukbang videos i saw! Thanks for this video 🐱
Awesome video! This is a great concept too I wanna see a lotta different cultures do this but the adobo was missing bay leaves it’s a key ingredient to adobo not just soy sauce and vinegar
Very entertaining collab between these two. Well done! Nigerian food looks and tastes really interesting. There are so many Nigerians in the Philippines, mostly students so I'm surprised why there still isn't a single Nigerian restaurant here or is there?
There is .
Magnetic restaurant Paranaque
Manila
i love this!! man i hella felt Godfrey tryna eat the spicy food, i couldnt do it either but it looks delicious
More of this duo is needed pls
They are such good friends!! Love it
