What’s your favorite dessert? 😋
Filipenis drinks
Cake
Flan
Definitely the sylvanas and turon. Turon's very easy to make, any Mexican can (and should) try it.
And the best sylvanas on the planet has got to be from Bacolod imho.
Chocolate chip cookies
Every Filipino out here screaming to MIX the Halo Halo!!🤣🤣
It's getting annoying at this point. If they'll introduce something, might as well know how to do it properly
I'm not even from the Philippines and I'm so annoyed!! If you are introducing a food, please, do research!! Mix up the Halo-Halo!! Damn!!!
@@ankey7384true!!! and I'm also annoyed by these Filipino stores not telling ppl how to eat it properly or at least put a poster or something, as a reminder, of how halo-halo should be eaten... land these channels don't really do their research!😤
I'm Mexican and even I was like ( but you have to mix it ) lol
I'm Filipino, and halo halo tastes better when it's not mixed.
3:23 He knows the combo
Bibingka and coffee, in the morning, in a hut, plus the gentle morning breeze. 10/10 to start your weekend.
Plus cigarettes. :)))
@@XSRKRXSRKRXSZKZXSZKZ no, nobody thinks "What would be great with coffee? Cigarettes"
@@jdl713 ok boomer
Yes, he is spot on!!
@@XSRKRXSRKRXSZKZXSZKZ Didn't a large percentage of actual boomers smoke....
So maybe since you commented about cigarettes, maybe you are the boomer! :D
Mexican Dads are not picky eaters. But they know what they like. And they apparently really like Filipino desserts.
So basically picky eaters 😂
@@FoFaShot Hahaha. Do you think they are picky eaters because they have food preferences? Hahahahahaha.
@@WordAte you said it
@@FoFaShot Hahaha. You are not making sense.
@@WordAte i can agree hes not making sense.
mexican dads dissects each layering flavors of all those desserts like a pro, tasting and experiencing it, then explaining every part of any obvious ingredients and its flavor… they’re able to convey the experience to the audience.. very detailed food review, not overly attached because they love the food but they like the food as it is… compared it with some Mexican desserts but no judgement. pure and honest review… 👍👍👍.
I love these dads. No nonsense they speak with authenticity. Love em!
Filipino food in general is such a hodgepodge of different colors and ingredients, but it all comes together beautifully
fun fact: the word 'puto' in puto bumbong comes from Tamil words, not from spanish. the original word is 'puttu' that means 'portioned'. in india, puto/puttu can be eaten as a sweet dessert or eaten with savory meals. putu is also popular in malaysia and indonesia as well
omg someone said it thanks😭
Yeah but in Spain translate mean bad word
I didn't know that the Phillipines had Tamil influence as well. I knew about the Spanish influence from being colonized. But the Phillipines was colonized by several different others too. Makes sense now that I've typed it out lol.
@@dillbill2A The Philippines was part of the Maritime Silk Road way before European colonisation. Hinduism and Buddhism reached the islands in the 900s CE. But these Indian influences arrived indirectly, mainly via Mainland Southeast Asia especially contacts from Cambodia's Angkor Empire and Vietnam's Champa Kingdom, and via Maritime Southeast Asia, from contacts with Javanese, Malay, and Bruneian kingdoms.
@@musicvibes70489Oh so that's why, they are reacting 😂, maybe it is the same as the loaned swear of the Filipinos which is 'Puta' 😅
As a Filipino, I was frustrated seeing the papas eating the halo-halo without mixing it. The name literally translates to mix-mix. The mais con yelo was also supposed to be mixed.
rage baiting maybe?
💯. Same thought. I think the responsibility is on the researcher or page owner. They should know how to explain it to their guests. Yes they loved it (probably) but they didn't had the full experience.
Feels like tasting different flavors of pizza by just taking a bite on the crust.
The person who prepared or bought the halo-halo didn't explain how to eat them properly 😂
The host didn't orient the papis to mix the halo halo
thank you for presenting/trying FIlipino desserts!
Bibingka & Puto Bumbong is normally sold & eaten during December or after Night Mass/Simbang Gabi in Filipino (devotional, nine-day series of Masses attended by Filipino Catholics in anticipation of Christmas.), but there are stalls that sell it everyday of the year.
Thank you for always appreciating my home country! 🇵🇭 Love to Mexico! 🇲🇽
OMGGG I HAD AN ASSIGNMENT ABOUT A COUNTRY AND I CHOOSE THE PHILIPPINES, I PICKED HALO-HALO AS THE FOOD TO TALK ABOUT, AND THEN THIS VIDEO SHOWS UP ❤❤❤❤
For first timers halo2 might be a bit challenging. It looks good but it might surprise you in both ways
Please don't say Halo-halo is Mix-mix in English. Halo the base tagalog word on its own means "Stir". Haluin, putting the suffix -in to the base word means "To stir". Halo-Halo means "Mixed" because of the act of ideally stirring all the various ingredients in it before you should enjoy it. We have a local Ilocano dish called Pinakbet, on its nature it is a dish of "Halo-halong gulay" meaning "Mixed vegetables". I appreciate you choosing the Philippines so I hope the etymology helps you on your assignment.
If food check featr they do good vids
@@aericacio finally somebody pointed this out. thank you!
ps: Halo-halo can also mean "assorted" so that kinda fits the context, too.
@@aericaciothere's a difference between stirring and mixing. Mixing is the right term
Glad our Mexican dads loved our desserts! Puto Bumbong and Bibingka is a special dessert usually made or eaten during the Christmas season, it is meant to be eaten with tea and is usually sold after the Misa de Gallo (Simbang Gabi). Personally my favorite is Bibingka with salted egg on top of it.
Aw man. I was hoping to see my favorite on here, biko. My brother’s mother-in-law is Filipino and if I know she’s visiting, I get what she needs for my own personal biko. Love it. She loves that I know a lot about Filipino culture
I love watching these videos. I watch them on all the channels. And the Mexican dads are always the most kindest and most respectful of other cultures and of other peoples food. Thank you for continually giving us great videos without tearing down other people’s food. So wholesome ❤ Even if they don’t like something, they’re NEVER rude about it! Happy Father’s Day!
To all these tios(titos) thank you for trying our food ❤️!
I went to Mexico (Puebla & Mexico City) back in summer 2016 and the food there was amazing!!! Most importantly, the Mexican people were so kind ❤
Filipinos are the Mexican Asians. Filipino food is BOMB! Puro Pinoy!
they are but also not cause of filipino loving sweet and vinegary food while Mexicans loves spicy food
@@unknownsource1485 True.
We've had a lot of interactions with mexicans during the 300 years of Spanish Colonization. The governor general was even someone from Mexico.
good to know!
Because, lots of exchanges back in Spanish times. Lots of fruits n veggies were were brought to Philippines
Nice to see Vicente again!! And all the papah’s of course!
we need paco back too and one more dad added to make it 6. the mamahs have multiple moms so we need multiple dads
Papas you guys are so good to try “different” kinds of food!! Always game!
Idk if anyone has explained this but puto means little steamed cake and comes in different forms. In other parts of Asia they say putu (Indonesia/Malaysia) or putuh, puttu (India) a lot of words we have in The Philippines and Indonesia + Malaysia come from the Indian subcontinent. But it’s very funny cause the Philippines was also colonised by the Spaniards, however it’s not connected 😂
puto is actually more of a mexican spanish word than spaniards spanish..
I love their reactions, they really try to be not judgy to the flavor,,, they are very nice. I like how they appreciate the flavors,,
Loving the dads so far! Kudos to the dads and the team ❤❤❤
Vicente is back!
Yay! I'm so happy he's back. I asked what had happened to him in last week's video. Been awhile since we've seen him. Pleasant surprise!
That guys that said Bibingka with coffee is spot on!!!! sometimes I order it in the afternoon with coffee just to relax.
love the variety of desserts you guys put out
Dude, rarely is silvanas featured in vids like these but they are absolutely incredible. Glad these Mexican dads got to try it. They should try Sans Rival next if they loved Silvanas
I am impressed at the variety of desserts that you featured and not just the stereotypes. Well done!
Great desserts, please do a part 2. Suman, Sans Rival, Biko, Ginataang Bilo, Kutsinta, Taho, Mango Float, Carioka, Ube Hilaya, Ube brownies.
Flan is my favorite! SO good! 🍮🍮🍮🍮
Yummy 😋
“Thats pretty damn f****** good” that came from the stomach and heart 😂
As a Fil-Am, always curious to see the reaction when Spanish speakers try some delicious puto...😅
FYI the female version of the slur - the word with an "a" instead of an "o" at the end - has the same meaning in most Philippine languages as in Spanish. So that's the loanword we needed in the Philippines...
yeah that is the case with puto. I think the only reason we get away with the name puto is because we only ever use the female equivalent as a slur. I haven't heard people in the Philippines use the male equivalent as an insult/slur
Puto could be derived from 'puttu' of Southern India. Indonesia and Malaysia also have that similar dish. It's generally known that Filipino is mostly influenced by Spanish culture but little is known about India's cultural influence over food and the language.
@@BatAskal it is... before Christianity and Islam arrived in the Philippines, the Islands were under the influence of both Indian and Chinese cultures, puto is one of those foods that came from the Indian cultural influence
Gotta mix that halo halo same for the mais con hielo to bring out more flavor.
this was so much fun to watch! really made my night better
That aromatic taste is most likely pandan leaves. They're used like vanilla is used for Mexican desserts. I definitely recommend them. I was told by a Thai lady that you can use pandan for tea for diabetes. Pandan is used essentially in the ASEAN region
Los mexicanos y los filipinos son hermanos de otro madre
YOu are correct sir!
o de otro padre? LOL. xq tenemos la frase "Madre España".
It would be nice if y'all were to describe what the foods and drink consist of on all the videos
why not just google what they are, takes no effort at all
@@ToyotaKudoFan of course I know that.... it was just a suggestion to them
Yeah! Vicentes back
i forgot how he looks like…
3:51 i knew this was coming and his laugh took me out!!
had a Mexican neighbor years ago when I was in NY. the dad loves those turon I made for their family. In turn, they made some quesadilla for me a day after.
I’m Filipino as well and African and when I have halo halo it’s purple and it has like a bit of corn flakes in it
Haha I love sago at gulaman. Besides tapioca pearls it consists of agar agar jelly called a) gulaman or b) grass jelly. (A is seaweed and b is a type of herb. Both turn into a jelly) and the brown sugar syrup with banana and vanilla extract. That’s why it tastes “different”
I'm so glad seeing Mexican Dads trying Filipino desserts and liking it! Now lets get Filipino Dads trying Mexican Foods/Desserts 😄
I DEMAND for the Manila- Acapulco Galleon (err... Container Cargo) Trade to be revived!!!!! hahahahha!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ im so happy that we get to connect with our Mexicousins from across the Pacific! ♥ ♥ ♥
I was screaming internally when they started taking a sip on the halo halo without mixing it first. dang!!!!
All 3 did so well with all the desserts! 👏🏻
Vicente is back 🥰 I will watch the videos again 👍🏻
The halo halo your supposed to mix. It literally translates to mix mix
I had no idea you had to mix it
@@grod805 not a lot of people do if you haven’t had it before I’m surprised the restaurant that gave it to them didn’t tell them
It's called that not because you're supposed to mix it (you are but not because of the name) halo-halo means a mixture of different things not to mix it before eating
When I was an exchange student in the Philippines many moons ago, I was told by a university professor that it's halo-halo or mix mix" because of its varied ingredients.
It's mix as in mixed nuts, just a variety of ingredients, not the action mix
You know your cooking's good when a Mexican tells you that it takes like their mama or grandmama's cooking. Feels even better than having Gordon Ramsay telling you that it's good.
Lots of similarities between Mexican and Filipino food
Mainly due to the Spanish colonizing both places lol
It’s also cause Spain couldnt afford to not focus their Spanish man power in Latin America, so when they colonized us, majority of the manpower sent to the Philippines were conscripted Latin Americans. So there were actually more Latin Americans than Spaniards in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era :)
Honestly I think we relate more to Latin cultures then Asian cultures. Don't get me wrong our Asian influence is really strong but the Spanish influence really shines through especially when comparing it with other Latin cultures.
Definitely good selection and variety of Filipino desserts here. Kudos to whoever picked them.
And this is how I am learning Spanish Papah y Mamah
Filipino and Latin foods may look different, but as you dig deeper, you find a lot of similarities or familiarities, like when they would relate it to something similar that they can taste. Especially Mexico, because of our shared history. Galleon trade for 300 yrs, cross cultural exchange, most of it will survive in our food, although localized variations, it's great to rediscover. I eat a lot of Latin foods, but I was surprised to find the same or similar dishes from my Mexican, Puerto rican, Columbian, etc, friends like puchero, lecheon, champorado, bacalao, etc...
I love puto bumbong when cooked in bamboo, the smokiness just elevates it ❤️ and also, please mix the halo-halo! 😅😂
Im a Filipino, and Im glad you like everything!
Hahahah! Very refreshing to see them try Filipino desserts!!! My favorite is Mango Float!!!
i love how they think of the overlaps between mexican desserts bc there are some for sure!!
also a lover of maja blanca over here, happy they like that one too
To get turon's brown glaze, you get melt butter and mix brown suger and water in a wok or pan. You then dip your already-fried turon or find some other way to coat the thing. Some folks like to add other things into their mixture or change up the sugar portions, so you do you.
The producers of this episode didn't even try to instruct to mix the "halo-halo" which is the dessert literally means "mix-mix".
Love this show ❤
Must be fun and educating to be around them in a group conversation for sure
Maja Blanca is my favorite Filipino dessert.❤
the comment about mais con hielo being "like a frozen esquite" -- I googled esquites and YEAH, that's a great comparison!
Very good variety of Filipino snacks and desserts. The sylvanas are hard to get even in the Philippines so Im surprised to see it here. Our flan are usually made with pure eggyolks thus the denser consistency. Puto bumbong is best enjoyed with hot chocolate during Christmas season in the Philippines. Turon is the easiest to buy as they are sold in almost every street vendors here and they are affordable too. We use Saba banan in our version tho and not plantains. Great video guys!❤
Day 2 of my 3 day water fast and Im watching my favorite uncles having a great time. Im feeling every bite 😆
As a Mexican I got to say I love Filipino food so dam much
YOU GUYS MISSED MANGO FLOAT , BUKO SALAD, YEMA, UBE HALAYA, BIKO , SUMAN, AND A LOT MORE WE NEED A PART 2!!
For those that wanna try halo halo. Its served liked that with layers because it looks good presention wise but to get the full experience you have to mix it with a spoon. Make sure it blend well but dont crush or break the beans, gelo, and other ingredients too much because texture is just as much of the experience as the taste is. Its very good when you get the mixture of the tastes in your mouth. If you dont mix it you're basically just getting shaved ice with syrup and milk
To make halo halo taste even better you have to mix it first then eat.so flavourful.
I love I love Filipino food. I wasn’t surprised that the dads loved it.
The third guy know his Filipino stuff ❤❤❤
We need a part dos
This totally made me smile.
lovely reactors, sweet as the desserts haha, i also like the wide variety of filipino desserts you let them try, great job
❤❤❤ They are all adorable
The halo-halo thing aside, the Mexican fathers have great personalities and I love it!
When he said it's like polvoron, as a filipino, I screamed excitedly "we also have polovoron!" at the screen. 😂
3:22 woah, you got it. We eat that with coffee in the morning. Same with suman etc.
i had a filipino couzin ang bring over his Mexican Gf in phil. I treat most of the Filipino food i could offer she enjoyed it a lot though 😇😇
Vicente is here. Yas
The 3rd dad was always feeling it😂 i love him lol
You gotta mix the halo halo (mix mix or mix of everything) from the bottom to the top to dissolve the sugar and get a taste of everyrhing
No wrap-up? (What did they like best, overall, etc?)
To really enjoy puto bumbong it should be warm just came out of the bamboo steamer. The heat will melt the butter on top. And on the sides freshly grated coconut, crushed peanuts and muscovato sugar. It's chewy because it's made from sticky rice and the color/flavor came from purple yam. It's a seasonal snack only prepared during "simbang gabi", Catholic mass held early morning (4 or 5AM) when there is still no daylight. Fyi.
These dads are wonderful ambassadors, as a Greek person could I ask that you introduce them to Greek food? I would love to see their reactions ❤
I can understand how we Filipinos get frustrated when the people behind the scenes (director or whatever) didn’t even tell the guests how to eat halo halo properly by mixing it haha! 😆
I think it’s a problem here in the Philippines too. Usually the waiters of a restaurant, they just serve the dish and the condiments or sauces to the foreigners without explaining how to eat them. You know like for example, eating Max’s fried chicken without the classic banana ketchup. The waiter could do a simple and short explanation to the foreigners that their fried chicken is good with banana ketchup and rice etc. Or like in Mang Inasal, the crew should explain it to the foreigners where to use the chicken oil, toyomansi etc.
It’s like if I go to a Greek restaurant in Greece, I cannot just google how to eat this certain dish, or ask the waiter every time how to eat this dish, what’s this sauce for, or whatever haha! 😆 It should be the waiter explaining that in the first place once the dish is served.
Filipino here, i'm not sure if everyone would agree but lemme know with my hot take: I dont necessarily label rice cakes as a dessert, it's a category on its own, eaten at merienda or afternoon snack or in the morning for breakfast commonly paired with hot cocoa or coffee, that's why it is bland on its own, pretty much a lot of rice cakes are.
Anyway, I find it very nice to know that these dads enjoyed most of our desserts and they even equate it with their own food. Salamat guys!
its funny how the first 3 things they tried arent really "traditional" as halo-halo was invented by Japanese grocers introducing kakkeguri to the locals in the 20s, while maiz con hielo was introduced slightly earlier and corn was brought by Spanish merchants from Mexico in the 1700s, while sago at gulaman was something introduced by Fujianese traders and farmers before the Spanish arrived.
Mexican dads are cool theyre like my dad ..they give no fuzziness at all and appriciates what you lay on their table w/o making face 😂
The traditional toppings for puto bumbong is
Margarine
Toasted Sesame seeds
Sugar
Coconut Shreds
my grandma sell puto bumbong when i was a kid in front of our house.
Yeah i could never argue, being born after the spanish regime, eating foods since i learned to chew inspired by spansih and other country influences, i could say mexicans and filiponos kinda have the same tastebuds
I love Mexican dads vs moms! They are way more open minded to try nee things and not as negative or set in their ways, it seems. Historically we have many ties to Mexico as we were colonized by the Spanish fleet stationed there. 300 years of destruction… before they sold us to the US, and lastly Japan invading during WW2. They all killed us in the thousands. Many of us were shipped to Mexico to work the plantations as the majority of the indigenous population had either been killed or died off due to Eurasian diseases. Many also ran off when reaching land, and there is still a small Filipino community in Mexico. We’re also distant related to all 1st nation/indigenous Americans, and Mexicans besides being Mestizo are also like the general Latin person Amerindians. Originally Latin people are white from Europe, the majority who identify as Latinos/Latinex today are Hispanic only, and descendants of the various indigenous tribes and cultures who got colonized. The Aztec actually called themselves Mexica in Nahuatl hence Mexico. And you can see their creation myth in the Mexican flag! Also we are not our colonizer, or the Spanish king that colonized us which our country is named after, yuck. Originally only those of Spanish blood born in our islands, was called Filipino, natives was referred to as indos. Yet we are neither Asian, nor black, but Austronesian. We have so many more deserts tho. Like I love puto pao with ube flavor. Cassava cake etc. And everyone makes it differently. Fun fact: historically our staple
crop was taro not rice. Rice was introduced to us by Chinese immigrants during the colonial era.
Well, you couldn't really get puto bumbong on traditional stores like Groceries or other stores but you could get it on the stalls in streets & malls or in the sidewalk vendors. Also, it was on demand during Christmas
Bibingka with coffee? YOU ARE HITTING IT SO RIGHT PAPA! 🎉
Maja Blanca- Maja is derived from Spanish Spain meaning delicacy and of course Blanca means white. So it literally means white delicacy. The desert is as old as Spaniard era of the Philippines. It had some Spanish origin but probably altered slightly to accommodate local ingredient
You have to mix the halo-halo and even the mais con yelo to get the best flavors.
I remember a comedian saying filipinos and mexicans are like brothers from another mother because we were both occupied by spain.😅
That comedian was most likely Jo koy
You guys offered a pretty comprehensive suite of desserts. Good job. Just forget to mix the halo halo. But in most videos people don't mix it for some reason, so no biggie.
The best way to eat halo-halo is to mix all the ingredients, including the ice cream, thoroughly. Once everything is well mixed, enjoy!
Muchas gracias tio
