      if you eat Filipino food, you will never grow old. because you will die young due to the high cholesterol and saturated fats content of some dishes. but the healthiness of our food depends on the region, Ilocano foods consists mainly of fresh vegetables and less meat. visayans have their own healthy foods too. the Tagalogs are the ones who use much of the oil in their cooking to make the dishes flavorful though they can substitute canola oil to make it healthier. all in all, Filipino food must be eaten in moderation. :)

    My daughter in law is Filipino and she has shared her cuisine with us and it's wonderful! The best soy sauce I've ever had is the Filipino brand Silver Swan. You must try Sinigang ( I had never thought to cook radishes) it's amazing! I took some to our big family Christmas dinner (soups and sandwiches theme last year) and it was a big hit even if one of my cousins thought that the name was Singapore soup.😂😂 I can't wait to try more Filipino food when I visit next month. Also, ask Budgie about a Boodle fight 😉

    This is proper Filipino food!!! While we love adobo, it's more of an everyday dish, so it's not very exciting (at least for me). I feel like Inasal is the kind of food every Filipino gets super excited to eat because it's a more of a special day kinda food. And the halo-halo is legit af.

      Mexican cuisine has a lot of influence in Filipino cuisine. In my region, we also have balbacua or barbacoa, lechon/carnitas, tamales, puchero, menudo, estufado and of course adobo. Even some desserts are quite similar like leche plan. When I visited Puerto Vallarta, i was very surpised that they also make a coconut drink called "Tuba" which is a traditional drink in my regioin. There were so many exchanges during the Manila-Acapulco Galleon Trade.

    This video is amazing because there's an actual build up on the fundamentals of Filipino cuisine that most cooking shows miss when they try out recipes.
    Chicken Inasal is usually a step up to explain compared to Adobo. But by laying in step by step the calamansi, the atsuete, concept of sawsawan. That's a genuine introduction of the flavors of the Philippines.
    Then to top it all off, having folks try ube halaya first, before applying its flavor in ice cream form on genuine halo-halo. Dude i cant express how great this video is.

      We live outside chicago and it makes it so easy to find and buy Asian food. In addition to hundreds of small, neighborhood shops, there are five major supermarkets representing the Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Chinese communities. Each one is the largest of its kind in the entire Midwest. They are close enough to one another that you can do an Asian World tour in one day. If you can't find what you want in one of these, it simply doesn't exist.

    Also! For the chapters and time codes, it's Sawsawan not Salsawa :))) I don't even think the second one is a word hahaha 'sawsawan' from the root tagalog word sawsaw (pronounced sa-o-sa-o) which means 'dip'. That particular one is a popular one for Lechon Kawali (fried pork belly) and generally grilled meats/filipino barbeques. If you don't have Coconut Vinegar, a good and cheap substitute is brown sugar and normal vinegar.
