- Kumusta friends,
Welcome to a new episode here in Cebu, Philippines! In this episode, we went on a new food endeavour to try one of Philippines most famous dish called Kare Kare, which is a type of Filipino stew with a rich and thick peanut sauce.
After doing some research on the internet, we have decided to visit a local restaurant called Hukad at Ayala Cebu City, which is located quite close to our apartment. We took motorbike taxi to the shopping mall and the drivers were super friendly and kind.
We arrived the restaurant just when it opened, therefore we were the first customers walking in.After asking for advice from the waiter, we decided to order the Pochero and Kare Kare, which surprised us with their big portions when it arrived. Keeping watching to find out our reaction!
Restaurant: Hukad

When you show interest in everything about the Philippines ,and have a good interactions with the locals and show respect, Filipinos will surely support your channel, so keep it up!
Basically when you eat Kare-kare, you add shrimp paste to the Kare-kare in every bite to add more flavor and saltiness( not to the rice), to balanced out the blandness of the peanut sauce. And I think that it was not pochero what they gave you, it's Bulalo (the beef broth soup with corn). Because pochero usually comes with "saging na saba,"(banana)and potatoes with thicker broth because of the tomato sauce. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Bulalo is one of the most popular dish in the Philippines. If you got the chance next time, also try Beef Caldereta(beef stewed in tomato sauce and liver paste with carrots and potatoes), Menudo (pork in tomato sauce) Chicken Tinola (chicken broth with ginger and papaya) Pinakbet (vegetable dish, squash, eggplant, okra, string beans), Laing (Taro leaves cooked in coconut milk) and Chicken or Pork Adobo(most popular Filipino dish).
In Cebu (Visayas, too, I think) we do call what is Bulalo in Luzon as Pochero. Same dish, just called differently.
In Batangas where my family is from Bulalo doesn’t have bananas in it but potatoes and string beans! If it diverges from this in ingredients then we refer to it as Nilaga!
yea the waiter was kinda stupid tbh.
As Promised, I'll try to describe some of the Menu |items from Hukad's menu :)
Sinigang - Pork, Fish & Seafood. Sinigang is a Sour Soup that uses Tamarind as the souring agent. I've read that you have tried a watermelon version which is more of a modern take for the dish. Different regions use different souring agents in place of Tamarinds. The sourness that sinigang has leans more towards the fruity side paired with umami from the meat, sinigang for me tastes fresh and electrifying. Ot ususally comes with KangKong ( somewhat similar to spinach), Radish, Eggplants, Taro and Tomatoes
Tinola - Tinola is a ginger based soup. Ginger is the main flavor that is pronounced in the soup. It is a very light flavored soup that is usually made with chicken or in hukad's case, fish. Since the soup is generally flavored lightly with ginger it pairs well with the delicate taste of fish, and ginger rids of the fishiness that might come with the fish. The dish is usually made with a meat, Chayote, Malunggay ( small round greens ) or young Chili leaves.
Hamon - technically refers to some meat treated as Ham. usually, meats that are "hamonado" are sweet and savory :)
Pinakbet - Stir fried veggies and meat in shrimp paste. Pinakbet is made with Squash, String beans, eggplants, Bitter gourd, tomatoes and is usually paired with small bits Pork as the meat component. it is cooked by just stir frying everything in a little bit of shrimp paste as the main flavoring agent. Some versions might have more sauce than others, but this is a veggie heavy dish :)
Kare Kare - Beef, Oxtail and Tripe in Peanut sauce usually paired with shrimp paste. Kare kare is usually milder on it's own that's why it is always paired with shrimp paste. It is a very luxurious dish and is very rich. The meats are usually very tender, the main highlight of karekare are the oxtail and the tripe. You were correct when you added a bit of the shrimp paste every spoonfull, it was meant to be eaten with the karekare as an accompaniment to the dish...think of it like adding ketchup to fries.
hope this helps!
Don't be shy to ask what every dish is made of and how it tastes. I think it is important that you get a little information form the staff on how the food taste and what it is made of so you wouldn't be surprised when you get them :)
Thank you for explaining this in detail my friend, really appreciate it. Learning everyday in the Philippines!
To be honest they didn't serve you POTCHERO that's BULALO , potchero doesn't have corn in it, it has SABA a type of banana
Kate-Kare is originally made using Oxtails. A lot of restaurants use regular beef because oxtails have become very expensive and makes the authentic Kare-Kare expensive Or unaffordable to the regular Filipino pocketbook.
You must go to Tagaytay to have the best Bulalo. anyway it's just an hour and a half away from Manila. The weather there is cold and it is where Taal Volcano is located
I’m glad you liked the ones you chose today!
Usually, Filipino starters are generally eaten with rice. Soupy and saucy starters are amazing with rice so I do hope if you try more of them in the following days you try them all with rice :) I’ll try to look over the menu you had for Hukad and try to explain the flavor profiles if I am familiar with them so you have a better idea for the next ones you might be interested to try. Generally, some dishes are similar between restaurants, they just vary in the ingredients, very much like how staple recipes differ from every household. There isn’t a set recipe for Filipino dishes so the variations are limitless :)
Whenever you buy something from Philippine restaurants, it's usually for sharing for 2-4 people. Ask them if there's an individual dish version of it.
You guys must have really liked Filipino food for you guys to manage to eat an entire bowl.
Yep do sinigang cooking by using local ingredients from where you currently are... do fish, chicken, pork, beef and or other meats.... also try different souring agents like santol, calamansi, pakwan, guava, tamarind, kamyas, batwan, etc....
Also Kare-Kare is a Filipino attempt into replicating the famous Indian curry, The British went to the Philippines with Indian troops and then the Indian troops sold their curry dishes to the locals, when they eventually left Filipinos tried replicating it and Kare-Kare was born.
Must Try:
Dish Part 1
- kilayin/kilawin (the "mother" of ceviche with coconut milk)
- soup number 5 (bull's member soup) 🤗
- Bicol Express (several versions, the most common is pork stew in coconut milk and chilies)
- kaldereta (🐂🥩 in tomato sauce + liver paste + potatoes + pepper + lots of onions +++)
- tortang talong (eggplant omelet)
- relyenong bangus (grilled milkfish stuffed with veggies + fish + ground pork)
Sweets/Pastry
- turon (fried banana crepe, my all-time favorite)
- puto bumbong (purple rice cake cooked in bamboo casing + coconut shavings, also called the Christmas rice cake)
- pan de coco (bread stuffed with caramelized coconut shavings, available in any neighborhood bakery so there could be differences)
-
kinilaw/kilawin is the mother of ceviche not a version.
@@karabaw7445 thanks for the correction! That's lovely to know! ^^
Pochero in Luzon is a stew with tomato sauce, but Pochero is Cebu looks more like what we in Luzon would call Bulalo.
Same observation here. Interesting.
ohhh so thats why i thought they were wrong. haha
Yup! Pochero in Cebu is the Bulalo or Nilagang Baka in Luzon.....I'm Cebuano😜😊
@@stellaolivesucalit4948 do you have the Luzon Pochero in Cebu then, as Justin mentioned banana in one of the menus which gives Luzon Pochero its unique sweet taste?
@@chitocucio4573 Yup, we do.....some cook pochero with banana while some add a bit of tomato sauce. Different folks, different strokes😜

Thank you so much for the detailed recommendation and the sub. Really appreciate it ☺️
The Pochero in Cebu looks like Bulalo or Nilagang beef🥩. Enjoy.
yeah i think it’s bulalo in Manila, pochero I know is saucy w banana and tomato sauce.
If you try "satay" in Indonesia, that's with peanut sauce. Justin is like a Filipino, using the spoon as a knife.
Traditionally sinigang is cook with sour vegetables or fruits like guava, kamias (bilimbi), santol (cottonfruit) or green mango. But the most famous for what I know of, is the fruit Tamarind. (Note you can use "Knorr Sinigang mix" but I think fresh tamarind is the best or you can use both)
So first cook the tamarind and extract its flavor , you can know if it is done if it is falling apart and becomes a paste.
After that put garlic, red onion and, the pork (pork Belly prefered)
After the meat is tender season with salt and pepper to ur taste. (Msg is optional haha)
After seasoned put the veggies.
@Project Where...Visit SM Seaside Cebu, the biggest mall outside Manila. There you can enjoy lots of activities to pass your time such as ice skating, indoor archery, virtual games, bowling, billiards, indoor go karting, or simply strolling around the circular-shaped mall of 40 hectares space to roam, at 10 hectares each floor. There is also a huge sky park or sky garden at the 4th level, occupying half the circle of the entire mall surrounded by dining outlets. Exploring the 40 hectare-mall is no problem as there is an internal public transport that takes visitors around the mall via chauffeured golf carts. Or you can even rent an e-scooter to take you around or you can rent a regular bike to get your legs some exercise at the sky park.
Thanks for the recommendation! We’re planning to go there next week :)
Oooooohhhhh❤ I’m in love with kare kare !!! Especially with the beef tripe in it !! ❤️❤️❤️ very masarap !! Keep trying a lot justin and alina😊 I’m sure that you will fall in love more about Philippines ❤hope to see you both soon!!
Thanks Richie! We love filipino food a lot
@@project_where next time try the tinola - it is soup dish with papaya and malunggay (vegetable leaves) and chicken dish. Compared to sinigang the soup of tinola is not sour. But it is good for like rainy season or when you sick Ahhaha but for daily too it’s good🤣🤣🤣.
Try also the pares mami/bulalo. They are one of my favorites
BULALO dish should be tried. I recommend you when you really liked soup based Filipino food.
In Baguio City they cook Sinigang strawberry 🍓
There are local restaurants that are not as expensive but it might take some time or inquiries for you to find them. Always ask for their bestsellers and check if they have combination dishes of more than one type but with smaller portions. Also ask for what appetizers, condiments, and dipping sauces are supposed to match with a particular dish. After the meal, if you're not too full, then you can try a different dessert for each that you can share or swap.
Sure if he's up to the challenge I'd like to see him cook a Filipino Dish I'm pretty sure people who watch your channel would be interested. Good Luck👍 From Northridge California 🇵🇭🇺🇸🏂🤙
A friend from korea bought mang inasal to take it home because his family love it when they were on vacation here. You should also try 7-11 and mini stop fried chicken and compare.
You are amazing to watch when eating... you have real reactions.... hope you stay true and real always... its ok with us if you dont like as long as you atleast try a bite
enjoy filipino food and enjoy you're stay here in the philippines..... more power... here in the phils. it doesn't hurt to ask someone☺️.... we're happy to help... 😍
Congratulations and thank you for embracing our culture with respect!
That pochero there is the bulalo version here in our province
It is definitely Bulalo. I dunno why that restaurant calls it as such. The Pochero I know is a chicken or pork stew in tomato sauce with plantains, potatoes, string beans and chickpeas...
It’s great to see you guys try out a variety of Filipino dishes. May God bless you both.
I find it adorable that when you said earlier that the food would last a week but then because it is so delicious you guys finished it off.
haha it is true, super delicious!
Hi guys... I've been to Cebu many times because of the Sinulog Festival... I was amazed by a Restaurant named Las Casas its like a ancestral house that was made into a nice resto.. the deserts are made in heaven... i Miss Cebu specially watching u.. Enjoy guys have fun.. If your having trouble or questions just ask us ur subs we are happy to help..
You look like the young Jacky Chan. My favorite actor from Hong Kong. You are an amazing couple. Thank you for sharing your story in the Philippines. I hope you enjoy your time in our country.
Thank you Renato, appreciate the love!! Stay tuned for more vlogs
Sinigang is a tamarind soup the root name for it is actually "Sinampalukan" key ingredient is Sampalok (Tamarind), Sinigang uses different souring agent instead of tamarind like kalamansi, lime, lemon or guava but Sinampalukan is the original Sinigang, you should try cooking Prawn Tamarind Soup "Sinampalukan Sugpo" because sinampalukan works best with prawn and certain type of seafood like fish, sinampalukan sugpo is traditionally cooked with the prawn shell on that's where the flavour is coming from, you can just peel the shell out afterwards for presentation or if you don't want to use your hands peeling it whilst eating 👌👍😉😎✌.
Chef Claude Tayag, a renowned chef and ambassador of Filipino cuisine defined Filipino cuisine as a mixture of different flavors in one bite. That reflects in our knack for having condiments like soy sauce, vinegar, calamansi and chilies. You have something grilled or fried, and you dip it in a concoction of these condiments and voila! You have a flavor explosion in your mouth, balanced by perfectly cooked rice.
The same thing is true with kare kare. I get what you felt when you tasted it for the first time, it really is unique and it really takes some getting used to, but the principle of having a perfectly tender meat, with crunchy vegetables in a rich and thick, and quite sweet peanut sauce balanced by the salty kick of the shrimp paste in one bite really does the trick.
To turn your karekare experience up to the next level, try the Lechon kawali kare kare version. Tender pork meat with crispy rind, with rich peanut sauce, fresh and crunchy veggies and shrimp paste. Have it with a bowl of steamed rice and oooooh...man, priceless. 👌❤️
Wow sounds delicious!
Kare-kare is traditionally made w ox tail and bagoong and similar shrimp paste is used a lot in South East Asia, it's fermented fish or shrimps depending on the availability. In the Philippines the color varies from red/orange to dark brown.
That branch is weird or its just where i come from.. The pochero supposed to have the green banana/ plantian, potatoes or sweet potatoes, cabbage or pechay (bokchoys big sister) you can also add green beans ( baguio beans ) and the nilangan tagalog pork or beef have potatoes, corn and cabbage not the other way around.. Kare-kare or peanut curry is one of our families comfort food but we like the pork leg and knuckles than beef...
I agree. When it is sunny - it is hot. Except when under the shade of a big tree. It will be several degrees cooler.
Kare-Kare is a Filipino traditional food that comes better in taste with Shrimp Paste or "BAGOONG", Most of foreigners specially from the west they don't eat that together with shrimp paste because it's smelly but it's more better because kare-kare doesn't have a strong flavor it's only veges, beef, and peanut.. Thanks for liking Philippines food! You guys have a lot to try. ♥️ New follower here.
I'm late 😂 wow near 5K subs, keep it up ☺️ It might be oxtail, commonly used for kare-kare. I enjoy watching you guys trying authentic Filipino cuisine ❤️
You both look great together. enjoy the Philippines :)
That's good guys. Everyday is another experience! Keep it up, Justin and Alina!
Good day mates, great you both enjoying Filipino dishes and the one with soup is the "nilagang baka" or boiled beef and the "kare-kare" is indeed an ox tail stew in peanut sauce and you ate it in the right way in which you spoon rice with a bit of the meat and veggies dipped it with the "bagoong" or shrimp paste. Anyway it is summer in NSW and its good you were here that it is a bit cooler in December christmas season.
In Cebu, Pochero is the same as Bulalo (Beef Shank soup).
There are dips for every dish: Kare-Kare goes well with bagoong (shrimp paste); Pochero (or Bulalo) goes well with Patis (fish sauce).
Loving the daily videos. You guys are so adorable. My favorite new channel.
thankyou guys. enjoy everyday ❤😋🇵🇭🥘🍲
usually dips/condiments/sauces are meant for the food itself not rice, so take note of that for the future 😆 the only exception so far is the chicken oil from mang inasal that is usually put on the rice
My new favorite vloggers in town. More power to your channel. Road to 10K subs. Stay safe always. 💪🙏🇵🇭
Thanks for the support ❤️
I'm all for it! Wanna see you guys cook pinoy cuisine 😁
Pochero btw is also a Spanish/ Latin dish meaning stew pot, each Latinized country has a version of this including the US.
Kare-kare with the shrimp paste is an acquired taste specially when u are foreigner. The selected dish you tried are the best and comfort food for all filipino specially for special occasions. Also if you dont mind you can takeaway the foods and reheat it at home but since u are going in an adventure its better that u finish them for your energy.
Crispy PATA,best dish. Or patatim.
@@goldmen7 generally for all filipinos it can be beef dishes like kare2 and nilaga pocheto when special occasions since not all filipino eat pork
Every Christmas season here in the Philippnes there are 2 most famous snacks that we love to eat... Puto bumbong and Bibingka, you should try it too.
i am going to Cebu next week from Canada, I am so excited and hopefully see you guys around! big fan!
Please try these variety of Filipino BARBECUE/GRILLED & SMOKED
BARBECUE PUWET NG MANOK - CRISPY MINI LECHON BELLY ROLL - INIHAW NA SPARE RIBS (barbecure spare ribs) - INIHAW NA ATAY (barbecue liver) - INIHAW NA BABOY (pork barbecue) - INIHAW NA BAKA (beef barbecue) - INIHAW NA LIEMPO (grilled pork belly) - INIHAW NA MANOK (chicken barbecue) - CHICKEN INASAL (sweet grilled chicken) - INIHAW NA BANGUS (grilled bangus) - INIHAW NA PANGA NG TUNA (smoked tuna-jaw) - INIHAW NA PUSIT (grilled squid) - INIHAW NA PUSO (heart barbecue) - INAHAW NA TENGA (pork-ear barbecue) LECHON (roasted suckling pig) - LECHON BAKA (roasted beef)- LECHON DE LECHE (Cebu Lechon) - LECHON MANOK (roasted chicken) - TINAPA (smoked mackerel fish) - TINAPANG GALUNGGONG (smoked blue mackerel scad) - TINAPANG HASA-HASA (smoked mackerel) - TINAPANG SALINAS (smoked salinas fish)
shrimp paste in kare kare is a must, they are combo or partner 🥰
I think garlic rice is only best with, tapsilog, longganisa daing. But plain rice is better with kare kare and pochero and other dish with sauce.
yeah don't take fried rice garlic in regular meals it's only for all __silog breakfasts with the coffee or you gonna have trembling tummy 😂😂😂
I agree!!
The correct way of eating kare kare is the combination of meat, sauce, rice and shrimp paste. because the peanut sauce itself is lack of saltiness, the shrimp paste will give much flavor to the sauce and rice.
Hi, I'm glad you enjoyed your first taste of Beef Pochero and Kare-Kare. By the way, the authentic Kare-Kare has tenderised oxtail meat .. other versions use various beef cuts and sometimes pork knuckles or trotters. Shrimp paste compliments the peanut-based sauce. Also, the common veggies for Kare-Kare are green long beans, eggplant, pakchoy/bokchoy green leafy vegetable and banana heart-shaped blossom. If you ever have a chance to travel to Luzon island, do go to Tagaytay which is popularly known for their Beef Bulalo. You can visit SkyRanch theme park while you're there for some fun rides.. you can hop on the big eye to get a birds eyeview of the Taal Lake which is a lake within a volcano.
There's a cebuano beef stew that have not made it the main stream restos, it's the "Balbacua" its a stew of oxtail and or beef knuckles and trotters and beef skins. You will find restos who serve them on the internet.
If you're eating kare kare you should eat together the beef, veggies & rice topping it with shrimp paste. That's how we eat it. Mix together. Next time enjoy it. And you should try the bicol express if you like spicy food.
ohh you’re right eating with veggie would taste amazing!
It’s shrimp paste. Usually made from very tiny shrimp and never from prawns. Perhaps to make it sound high-end!
there is sinigang powder for the broth if u guys r trying to make it haha. id recommend yall try kaldereta, lengua, and humba for mains and silvannas, brazo de Mercedes, yema, sans rival, leche flan, and suman w/ tsokolate (hot cocoa) for dessert. taho is also a must try drink :))
They can hear it in the streets like 7 morning Tahoooooo ! and at night 7 pm Baluuuuutttt ! 😂 then you run to catch the man selling it but if he's gone far they can shout it too TAHO ! or BALUT ! then the man will look around. 😂😂
Next time you try Arozz Caldo for breakfast, kansi for lunch or dinner, Fresh lumpia for lunch or dinner, mechado for lunch or dinner, Bulalo soup for lunch or dinner, pancit canton or pansit palabok for lunch or dinner, for dessert you try halo halo especial. You still have to try beef caldereta and pork chicken adobo and chicken inasal or pork barbecue philippine style, lechon kawali or lechon pork belly.
Sounds great! We still have a long list of food we need to try:)
Who would've thought Alina has an inner weeb side and watches lots of anime?? A real woman of culture. I'm an even bigger fan now 🙏😌 and a big YES PLEASE to a Justin cooking episode!
hahaha 😂🙌
Been watching for awhile now and all I can say is you guys are so cute together holy. Great videos too! I’m super entertained. Also wondering how you got to 74 videos since in the first one you said you only have a Visa for one day. I guess I’ll find out later! ❤
I'm hungry. I'm filipino watching from Sydney, Aus.
The first one they served you was Bulalo not pochero 🥺 but I’m glad you liked it 🥰
Yummy …. I was salivating for that KARE KARE. But thePOCHERO is differently cooked in the Tagalog region. What you had is close to BULALO. TAGALOG POCHERO has more ingredients in it like Saba (a banana variety that can be cooked in different ways), tomato sauce, beans & chickpeas. The soup becomes creamy not brothy.
I love kare kare. Next time try Kuya J crispy pata and ube halo halo. It's mind blowing as well!
Thank you for visiting the Philippines.
Thanks for having us!!
PORK POCHERO - is a classic Filipino stew made of pork belly, saba bananas, beans, and vegetables. It's hearty, tasty, and perfect as cold-weather comfort food!
If you're on a budget, you can go to foodcourts where they serve small portions of food which cost less,,,,, or maybe try some local carenderia where a lot of people buy foods,,,, you can just point the food you want to eat or try,,,,, there are any waiters there tho,,,,
AHAHHAHA justin 😂 I liked how you used the BIG FORK 😂😂😂 And alinas loving pochero is kinda like my reaction when eating good food !! ❤ 😂
Alina: 😶😀😃😍. Is this you too?
@@project_where hahaha kinda contemplating for a while 😂😂😂 but I loved how she embracing our filipino dish ❤️🥰 it’s fun watching how both of you giving honest reaction 😁😃
Not a pochero but it is called bulalo, it has corn. Pochero is so different it has a bit thick tomato sauce and slices of thick bananas called saba.
VERRY GOOD THUMBS UPPPPPP
Shrimp, Pork and Bangus/Milk Fish Sinigang are all authentic... What made the other Sinigang that you tried not authentic is the Watermelon. Traditional Sinigang doesn't have Watermelon.
Yes, that's Manam's own unique take on Sinigang, which I must say, gets the best reviews because it's something new to the taste as we cook it traditionally without sugar or watermelons. Just Tamarind as the main sour ingredient, beef broth and fish sauce.
Sinigang must be souurr. .not sweetened with anything(like with strawberry,watermelon or coconut water)..😆
Welcome to the Philippines, Family more power 💪🤠❤️
Justin you were right when you said that the best way to eat Kare-kare is with the meat and peanut sauce +shrimp paste instead of mixing the paste with the rice. That's how we do it. Meat+sauce+veggies+a LIL bit of shrimp paste then rice after.
I actually said oh no when you took a huge portion of the shrimp paste 🤣
But you both seem to NOT be bothered by the smell because a lot of foreigners especially westerners don't like those haha
Oh I grew up eating shrimp paste fried rice so I love it, but shock that Alina loved it too 😳
I like pochero but honestly kare-kare is not my bet. You should also try bulalo, also delicious
What’s the difference between bulalo and po hero may I ask? I was told the pochero I had is similar to Bulalo
@@project_where bulalo is like a stew and it doesnt have the sweet taste that pochero has
Mix the shrimp paste with the kare kare and sauce.. there is nothing like it. Yum. Now I am hungry!
Bulalo takes a long time to cook. The very least is four hours.
Usually the cook simmers it for four hours starting at 12 midnight to make it in time for breakfast at 5 am. That's why the beef is so soft.
Kare Kare is influenced by Indian/Indonesia/Thai use of curry (“curry curry”). The proper way to enjoy it is to use liberal amounts of the kare kare sauce on your rice, mixed with a small amount of shrimp paste, meat and veggie. It’s more of an acquired taste if you are not used to the shrimp paste umami taste.
Mix the shirmp paste in karere souce but a little only because is salty. That is Pinoy way eating karekare ☺️ thanks guys god bless and more vlogs to come ☺️
That's very Pinoy restaurant, guys..😋.."HUKAD", Cebuano term, which means "to serve food in one's plate"😋...enjoy ur food trip, guys!!!😋🤗👍
Thank you for the Filipino lesson! love learning new words everyday haha
its better if you put the shrimp paste on the Kare Kare not in the rice,and its better for plain rice,anyway its look so delicious,keep safe guys Godbless
Kare Kare...Pour sauce and veggies over rice. Add a portion of beef (oxtail) to your plate. Add a dab (or more if you like) of the shrimp paste to the sauce and veggies. Eat with rice! Peanut sauce is pretty mild and neutral in flavor, hence the shrimp paste. Enjoy!
aww watching this video is made me wanna go home I miss the food Hukad and cafe laguna in Ayala Cebu
KARE-KARE - is a Philippine stew Aand s a traditional Filipino dish consisting of oxtail and vegetables within a creamy peanut butter sauce. that features a thick savory peanut sauce. It is generally made from a base of stewed oxtail, beef tripe, pork hocks, calves' feet, pig's feet or trotters, various cuts of pork, beef stew meat, and occasionally offal.
Love how you ask on how to eat the shrimp paste with kare-kare. Usually foreigner forgot to ask what to do with it then they gonna forgot about it lol
Since you are in Cebu its an easy ferry ride to Bohol and to Dumaguete. A month in Cebu will allow you a couple of days in those places
For me... I order garlic rice if the food is fried or grilled. Garlic cuts the grease and smokey taste. Plain rice if the food is saucy or soup based. I don't want the garlic rice to add flavor over the sauce or soup. That's just me though. 😅
On a side note... My favorite sinigang is Salmon Head and belly! Although it'll be harder to cook that now because our stupid Government prohibits the sale of Salmon on local wet markets... 😅
wow I agree with you said about the garlic rice! makes a lot of sense. Hope to try the salmon sinigang too!
Kare Kare is soo good. Foreigners always eat our soups n stews wrong… Filipinos put the gravy or soup on some rice w veggies and the meat, each spoonful you have all of it together for one experience in each bite. We don’t eat the meat alone or the soup alone or veggies alone . It’s flavorful to have all of it together.
Please try authentic sisig,dynamite(spicy chili),halo halo( mix mix)and leche flan,special buko pie,and balut.. 😊🇵🇭
Am Joey from Philippines, Am just trying to looking someone who loves me forever 💗💗💗
Love how you drink your soup directly from the bowl( like I do). Common place in Asia but not in the States where being judgemental is a common trait(very woke).
The shrimp paste is supposed to be mix with the beef and the rice on every bite.
If you eat Kare Kare without the shrimp paste, it will just taste bland. Every bite/spoonful should have rice, meat and shrimp paste.
wow! are you in ayala malls cebu? fantastic.... you will find everything under the sun here! ^^
Better check the local "carinderia" where you found homemade food which is also reasonable.
Philippines is the most beautiful Country in the world 🌎
one of my fav dish karekare,but I use chicken instead of beef,easy peasy cooking😁 glad you two enjoy the food,awesome!
Wow really? We might do a cooking episode at home about filipino soon.
@@project_where wohoooo!...looking forward to that episode,bring it on!
Kare Kare is one of those dishes that I haven't tried to cook...shrimp paste is the best partner for Kare Kare...
Just watching you guys eating with a delicious food hoooo I wish I was there too yum yum yum
Justin, watch Panlasang Pinoy and follow his cooking of Sinigang. By the way, for Sinigang main ingredient you can use pork ribs or belly, shrimp, fish like salmon, maya-maya, pampano and the likes.
I’m sure it will be delicious 😀👍
