im hungarian, i always love seeing how our cultures are blended together! im going home to budapest in a week, this video makes me so antsy for the FOOD!! ty for this :)
Yes, food ties us all together. Recipes are borrowed and reconstructed. Meals taken together bind people. Love Hungarian food and dances. Cheers from Bucharest😊
@@AITreeBranches Its more like russian spoke in romanian. There's a huge difference between romanian spoke by someone from Bucharest and someone from Chisinau. If a person who never heard romanian spoken in their life would hear a moldavian speak romanian, he would probably say its russian if he or she ever heard any russian. Moldavians sound exactly like russians phonetically, they just use romanian words.
@@adriancioroianu1704I am Moldovan myself, we mostly speak some Romanian, then some Russian mixed in, but when we try we can purely speak Romanian and itll be understandable.
@@SuitedSkaterLionI am not from any of those places, but have had some of those mouthwatering foods! Which I wish I had some of right now, in fact. The only negative thing I have ever encountered about Romania is about Ceaucesçu, and that was horrible. I will try to find this thread so I can correct the spelling later.
Dude you've got a wonderful family (your grandpa ain't much older than me!)! Beautiful country,please don't be ashamed of where you come from! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY KWOOKS MOM!!
As another Romanian living in the Netherlands, this video is absolutely amazing and very comforting. Also for your mother: La foarte multi ani frumosi va dorim!
ルーマニアのお母さん、誕生日おめでとう！Happy hoppy birthday, Romanian mom! It's in Japanese. Haha! We really hope Valkai Karoly's vision would be back sooner. I had an accident to lose my vision before. Lost vision is so impactful of lives. It's back to me now so happy. Shawarma looks amazing! I'd love to know about street food of Romania any other countries. Huge thanks! All your family is lovely!
Seeing this gives me a lot of nostalgia as I grow up in Romania in the countryside. Thank you Kevin for showing Romanian food to the world 🇷🇴 Hopefully as many people as possible will donate!
I'm delighted to see as a Hungarian în Transilvania, your bringing more awareness to our beautiful cultural heritage and food. I really hope you can get more people to know about this beautiful country. I send my condolences to the family of Károly and hope we can help him.
Magyar vagyok én is Vajdaságból! Szeretnék már egyszer eljutni én is Erdélybe, hosszú az út. Remélem összejön hamarosan. Tartok a medvéktől is, de gondolom ha betartjuk az előírásokat, nem lehet gond. Üdv nektek!
La multi ani, mama! I've lived in Romania all my life. I know how good our food is, but you kinda tend to forget it at some point. Seeing people thoroughly enjoy our food is so wholesome and it brings a smile to my face. Also i hope that Karoly will get his surgery fast!
My parents are from the Western part of Romania as well! Never really had a chance to visit often being born in Canada but I love Romanian and Hungarian food and culture and wish I had more opportunites to connect with that side
Bai baiatule, nu mi vine sa cred ce "comforting" a fost sa ma uit al acest clip. Bunica ma sta aproape de Hermes si ma duceam la cumparaturi acolo ca si copil.....Inca ma duc uneori, de dragul de a-mi reaminti de "copilaria grea", dar dulce, pe care am avut-o. Am avut asa putine, si totusi, am fost atat de bogat. Acum fac bani, dar plang de fericire de fiecare data cand imi reamintesc de gustul vinetelor cu rosii si a pitei proaspat cumparate cat era calda dimineata.
My favorite childhood Romanian desert is “griș cu lapte” (a type of porridge made with semolina and milk) especially with some thin sour cherry jam on top 🥰 I didn’t know you’re also Romanian, I’m very glad you shared with the world what simple yet very tasty foods we enjoy!
So i have been following you for a while now you are one of my go to channels when i search for a recipe or something new to cook. Only now to find out that you are from the same country as me and even the same city and you visited my favorite shaorma place at the end of the video. Saying that my mind is blown is an understatement.
Foarte tare clipul! Habar n-aveam ca esti roman. La multi ani pentru mama ta! S-ar putea sa gasesti mancaruri interesante daca mergi pe Via Transilvanica prin sate. Wish you well!
I’m American and I spent several months in Sibiu after the war in Ukraine started, to volunteer, but I noticed a LOT of young Romanians were also “westernizing” themselves. But that made me really sad because Romania is BEAUTIFUL and has SO MUCH history and culture- in many ways, more than the U.S. Anyway it made me really happy to see you representing Romania with all the love it deserves 🫶 I definitely have had a 1am shawarma but we weren’t drunk, we’re just night owls😂
I'd blame it on capitalism really, young people are very individualistic and think they always have to keep up with some kind of trend. Our government barely has anything to offer to them so they latch onto foreign ideas.
I've been fllowing your channel for a couple years. I appreciate your energy and Romanian/Eastern European humor😊 🌺HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR MOM🌈🤗 Sending Polish greetings - from Belgium🌺🌺🙏 Thanks for your presence and sending you all the best 🌺
I have good opinion about Romania. I would like to visit there soon. I think it's more beautiful in the winter time. Greetings from Serbia( Vojvodina)!
12:34 That look from your Mom. Love, pride and happiness and joy that you are there with them. I miss my Mom... Happy Birthday to your Mom Kwoowk! By they way, I'm originally from Poland and its amazing to see how many similar dishes we have in our cuisines!
Coming from Moldova I love and appreciate any representation of our shared foods in the media!! So great to see a part of me and my home being part of you and your home.
Well you sure have a beautiful heartwarming family in Romania. Love them. And also, this is your best content on RUclips since the USA trip! Happy birthday to your beautiful mom and thanks for this beautiful content! In fact , after writing this comment, I'm gonna watch it again. Viva Slavic nations! Greetings from Slovakia!
This was awesome to watch! My family is from Brașov, so getting to see all of the traditional foods I grew up eating almost made me cry. I feel the same about having distanced myself from being Romanian as an adolescent but reconnecting with the culture is so special, so thank you for making this video and talking about that part!! Also the way you smush the potatoes in your tocăniță is a mood 😂Such a beautiful culture and such delicious food. La mulți ani Mamă!
Happy birthday mama kwook! Also, I remember a while back after the release of the cookbook that you were feeling conflicted about your content and what you were doing with your platform and all that stuff. I think this--eating food, connecting with people, celebrating local cultures---is the perfect thing for you to be doing. If this channel became a traveling food show that would be honestly perfect.
La mulți ani mamei tale! Și îți mulțumesc din suflet ca ai ales sa împărtășești cu lumea o mică parte din România. Îți mulțumesc ca ai ales sa faci o diferența prin platforma pe care o ai și sper ca sa putem sa facem și noi o diferența in viața lui Karoly.
As a Romanian, I'm really happy you enjoyed our food and your time in Romania! I left the country 10 years ago but I make sure not to lose touch with the culture and my family who lives there.
You can clearly see where your love for food comes from It is just Wonderfull to see how your family cookes together and which significance it has in all their lives Thank you for sharing this!!
The story of the bread maker broke me ! I donated I hope others who can do too ! He deserves a chance to see his kids and his hard work switching jobs is inspiring.
Happy Birthday, Mama. Kevin, you have a beautiful family. My ears perked up when you said, "Mama-liggen." My Mother loved Mama-liggen. She made it for her breakfast every chance she got. All of the food you showed looked wonderful. I'm not much of an eggplant fan but I definitely would try it the way your Grandparents make it. I hope you enjoyed your trip back home. When I go home, it's more for the food than my family- LOL.
Happy birthday to your Mom. My maternal grandmother was from Romania, but sadly, she passed away when I was very young. Consequently, I never was able to experience any of her background and heritage. Thank you for this video. It, at least, allowed me to see a picture into my heritage via culinary. ❤
It was interesting to learn that you were introduced to many different dishes and flavors during your childhood. When you said 'slanina', which is also called that in my home country Serbia, I got hungry. I am very pleased that, despite all your experiences in the Netherlands, you still feel connected to Balkan specialties. Thanks for sharing :)
That gorgeous creature is your MOTHER?! Happy birthday, Mom! Keep doing whatever you've been doing! It's obviously working well for you! How much of your magic is your phenomenal cooking? And thanks for that gift you (and your husband) have given your son. That he so generously and hunorously shares shares with us!🙏
LANGOS!!!! my one and true love…. ive been sick for the past 3 days, throwing up nonstop. maybe i shouldnt torture myself watching videos of my favorite foods that i cant eat right now 😅
I recommend starting by visiting Sinaia (the castles), Brașov, Sibiu (ASTRA Museum is a must-see if you are nearby), Sighișoara, have a scenic drive on the Transfăgărășan and Transalpina roads 😁
Happy birthday to your mother!!! 🥳 This video was much awaited here on your channel. I have seen many foreign people promoting Romanian food, glad you jumped on this trend.
I love this. Visited Romania several years ago and have special memories of going into the country/mountains and our host serving us a beautiful meal of homemade wild boar sarmale, soft fresh bread from the bakery and plenty of sour cream. Was able to try blueberry papanasi but mamaliga was my favorite whenever we visited a restaurant- I've wanted to recreate but not sure the cheese and sour cream I can get in the States will be quite the same.
My first long-form video being watched from you, I clicked it cause I was curios what your long-form videos are about. No regrets, I loved watching it to the end. As a Romanian I ate all of these foods and I am happy to see how they are made in different regions and the shawarma at night was so relatable to me, arriving to Bucharest after a long flight and traffic from the airport and its 12 and you stop to get a shawarma, my experience... and I loved what you did at 0:51
Great food! Wonderful culture and family! Thank you for sharing. Don't worry about the snacks, it was still a superb video. I just wish that Romania wasn't so far away, because I'd like to sample all of those good things! God bless!
This vid feels like a little slice of your culture. As someone who doesn't really have cultural roots, it's nice to see someone connecting to theirs. Great video as always :)
Happy very belated birthday to your mom! I was born in Ukraine and lived there for the first 5.5 years of my life there. I’m a US citizen living NYC and there are many grocery stores that cater to Eastern Europeans in my neighborhood. I tried fruit jams and pickles from Moldovia. They are a big hit with my mom and me. My neighbor is from Romania. Small world. Love your channel. Keep on KWOKing! 😁
Im Romanian,I hope you enjoyed your time here in Romania!Also,you should come to my home town,its beautiful,the icecream is delicious,IN BRAȘOV! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KWOOK'S MOM or LA MULȚI ANI MAMA LUI KWOOK!
Fun fact, Hungarians started putting sparkling water into crepes only because it was cheaper, but now it's traditional to do so... Happy birthday to your mom!
@@keshudioo i did an experiment once with using milk vs water and i found it interesting that one resulted in fluffier chewier texture and the other had a crispier texture (which i prefer). Funny thing is i kind of forgot which one did which :D pretty sure water =crispy, milk = chewy
First long form video I watched that you made, I'm pleasently suprised that you are romanian! I completely missed that fact, I love the fact that you bring people to know the great food that romania has and overall makes our country more recognized around the world, because around 2 to 6 years ago people didn't really know about us, but know people are way more open to Romania, and don't just make fun of us.
@@oanaalexia, only the concept is Turkish. If you ever tasted a Turkish sarma or a Greek dolma you know it has nothing to do with the taste of a Romanian sarma. The Turks even put stuff like cinnamon and mint inside them and they boil them with fruits like sour cherries or plums. The Polish golabki actually have much more in common with our sarmale than the Turkish sarmale.
La mulți ani mamei tale! I always tho you are from Harghita or Covasna somehow, but damn we are both from Cluj. Your video made me appreciate life even more and being born in this country. Touched me immensely, thank you!!
Arab owners name their product shawarma, Turkish owners name it kebap. The first shops had either Arab or Turkish owners, probably the Arabs were first to open such fast food stalls. Anyway, they have already gone through a Romanian influence, they taste better than in Turkey!
Happy birthday to your Moma 🥳🥳🥳🎁🎂🎈Thank you for this incredible video. I am embarrassed that I knew nothing about Romanian food and it’s so nice that you share your culture with us ☺️☺️
Its so crazy to me that i know u for like 2 years now and i never knew u are romanian... and u eated all the right things a romanian eats almost*.. and happy birthday to ur mother, heave a nice day man 🤝
I've been following you for quite a while and never knew you're Romanian! Let alone that you're from Cluj where I currently live. This video brought me a lot of smiles. Awesome job!
How to say you're clujean from cartierul Gheorgheni without saying it 😊 Very glad to see Piata Hermes in your video-is the area where I grew up and now visit my parents weekly. I enjoyed the whole video and it brings me so much joy to see that your foreign friends are having the opportunity to taste our delicious and comforting mancare ardeleneasca. Serus de la o clujeanca!
Watching all the food you ate I realized how similar tradition and food we have in Serbia! From plum jam, cevapi (mici), palacinka (placinta), sarma, ajvar (roasted red bells), etc. Basically 80% the same food. So cool! You should visit Serbia ❤
Happy Birthday to Mama Kwoowk! I hope you have/had a wonderful day! Kevin, I really love these culture videos. I hope they do well for you so you can keep making them!
Happy birthday to your mom!! 🎉 and i was really touched about the story with Karoly, so I’ve donated a tiny bit 🤍 hope the best for your family and their 🤍
As a Romanian i want to say 2 things:
1) Happy birthday to your mother!
2) The Romanian energy from this video warmed my heart, great video

Yep, I am Romanian from Covasna, whenever I visit I can't go without Kurtos 😍 and other foods that we share
Kwook also has Hungarian ancestry, like most people in Transylvania
Yes, food ties us all together. Recipes are borrowed and reconstructed. Meals taken together bind people. Love Hungarian food and dances. Cheers from Bucharest😊
As a romanian i can confirm you captured the romanian culture really well with this video, everything was just perfect!
I am from Moldova and speak Romanian, it just brings me joy to see someone speaking this language and eating some of my favorite childhood dishes
same language lol
Romanian is the official language of Moldova, that info you gave is like, someone saying, I'm from Australia and I speak English.

Even as a Hungarian, every bit of this video felt like home.
Except the Mici, I'm jealous we don't have anything like that unlike the Balkan countries
We have 'fasírt' 😉
I liked this video so much too ❤
Happy Birthday Mom!! Thank you for showing us your best life in Romania!

As another Romanian living in the Netherlands, this video is absolutely amazing and very comforting.
Also for your mother: La foarte multi ani frumosi va dorim!

I saw a lot of foods that reminded me of my childhood, and I'm Turkish! Very cool to see
As a Romanian I just want to say thank for showing other people the amazing culture and food of our country
My favorite childhood Romanian desert is “griș cu lapte” (a type of porridge made with semolina and milk) especially with some thin sour cherry jam on top 🥰
I didn’t know you’re also Romanian, I’m very glad you shared with the world what simple yet very tasty foods we enjoy!

Born in Romania and adopted when I was five this is the best learning about my culture I was born in!!
I'm from Syria and I can tell you that we have so much in common in culture Our countries and regions have so much unique culture.
It's all about the Ottoman influence :D
@@samuelbudai4979Yep, we took ottoman cuisine and added pork and alcohol ❤

Birthday blessings for your mother, Kevin. Thank you for sharing this journey with us. Congrats on 4M subscribers, too!
The Netherlands is just one giant shoppingmall at this point. So hartwarming to see Romanians still having an identity ❤
It was interesting to learn that you were introduced to many different dishes and flavors during your childhood. When you said 'slanina', which is also called that in my home country Serbia, I got hungry. I am very pleased that, despite all your experiences in the Netherlands, you still feel connected to Balkan specialties. Thanks for sharing :)

this video came right on time because I'm flying to Romania in a week
I recommend starting by visiting Sinaia (the castles), Brașov, Sibiu (ASTRA Museum is a must-see if you are nearby), Sighișoara, have a scenic drive on the Transfăgărășan and Transalpina roads 😁
Always loved when you did romanian food or when you came a while ago, never knew you were from here.

Don't worry about being more "palatable" to the west. I'm English and I want to learn to cook all this Romanian food!
happy birthday to your mom! this is the relaxing summer vibe i want. just good food and good company

Fornetti is Hungarian I think! But there used to be these small fornetti stalls in Poland as well, loved them as a kid, especially the kiwi one.
if you remember a kiwi one then definetly it is not the same fornetti

Happy very belated birthday to your mom! I was born in Ukraine and lived there for the first 5.5 years of my life there. I’m a US citizen living NYC and there are many grocery stores that cater to Eastern Europeans in my neighborhood. I tried fruit jams and pickles from Moldovia. They are a big hit with my mom and me. My neighbor is from Romania. Small world. Love your channel. Keep on KWOKing! 😁
happy birthday kwooks mom!
Im Romanian,I hope you enjoyed your time here in Romania!Also,you should come to my home town,its beautiful,the icecream is delicious,IN BRAȘOV! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KWOOK'S MOM or LA MULȚI ANI MAMA LUI KWOOK!
Fun fact, Hungarians started putting sparkling water into crepes only because it was cheaper, but now it's traditional to do so... Happy birthday to your mom!
They say the dough gets less bubbly with sparkling water and more homogeneous, but my grandma always preferred milk because it just tastes better.
@@keshudioo i did an experiment once with using milk vs water and i found it interesting that one resulted in fluffier chewier texture and the other had a crispier texture (which i prefer). Funny thing is i kind of forgot which one did which :D pretty sure water =crispy, milk = chewy
First long form video I watched that you made, I'm pleasently suprised that you are romanian! I completely missed that fact, I love the fact that you bring people to know the great food that romania has and overall makes our country more recognized around the world, because around 2 to 6 years ago people didn't really know about us, but know people are way more open to Romania, and don't just make fun of us.
ROMANIAN FOOD IS THE BEST FOOD EVER (I'm Romanian)
Me too

Happy Birthday to KWOOWK's mom!
Your cooking looks very delicious. It makes me so, so hungry...
I love how every slavic country has "Sarmale", but they have their own name for it. It's the exact same thing though.
they're actually turkish
@@oanaalexia, only the concept is Turkish. If you ever tasted a Turkish sarma or a Greek dolma you know it has nothing to do with the taste of a Romanian sarma. The Turks even put stuff like cinnamon and mint inside them and they boil them with fruits like sour cherries or plums. The Polish golabki actually have much more in common with our sarmale than the Turkish sarmale.
@@oanaalexia The turks think they've invented every food from the balkans, greek food and polish food. spoilers: none of it is true.
romania isnt slavic though...
La mulți ani mamei tale! I always tho you are from Harghita or Covasna somehow, but damn we are both from Cluj. Your video made me appreciate life even more and being born in this country. Touched me immensely, thank you!!
bro gets doner kebab and calls shawarma omfg arabian propaganda
Arab owners name their product shawarma, Turkish owners name it kebap. The first shops had either Arab or Turkish owners, probably the Arabs were first to open such fast food stalls. Anyway, they have already gone through a Romanian influence, they taste better than in Turkey!
ce familie frumoasa! ne mandrim cu tine, felicitari pentru toate lucrurile frumoase pe care la faci 🤗
Excellent video! Happy Birthday Mama KWOOWK!

I've been following you for quite a while and never knew you're Romanian! Let alone that you're from Cluj where I currently live. This video brought me a lot of smiles. Awesome job!
How to say you're clujean from cartierul Gheorgheni without saying it 😊 Very glad to see Piata Hermes in your video-is the area where I grew up and now visit my parents weekly. I enjoyed the whole video and it brings me so much joy to see that your foreign friends are having the opportunity to taste our delicious and comforting mancare ardeleneasca. Serus de la o clujeanca!
Watching all the food you ate I realized how similar tradition and food we have in Serbia! From plum jam, cevapi (mici), palacinka (placinta), sarma, ajvar (roasted red bells), etc. Basically 80% the same food. So cool! You should visit Serbia ❤
Happy Birthday to Mama Kwoowk! I hope you have/had a wonderful day!
Kevin, I really love these culture videos. I hope they do well for you so you can keep making them!
❤
Happy birthday to your mom!! 🎉 and i was really touched about the story with Karoly, so I’ve donated a tiny bit 🤍 hope the best for your family and their 🤍
As a romanian from lugoj thank you for showing people how good our food is!
Habar nu aveam că ești român deși te urmăresc de ceva vreme.... Felicitări pentru canal !!! ❤
Cheese from piata is always the best and the variety is vast! Much love from Bucharest brother!
