As a half Iranian and half Filipino I am actually so grateful for the flavours I get to experience day to day! đ€€
Yesss me too!!
Whattt that's such a cool mix
Wow that sounds like a beautiful mix of families!
wow that's cool
Have you made any fusion recipes before?
I love the fact that Godfrey didnât use any of the typical Filipino foods. Iâm sure he had difficulties picking and thinking of idea since a lot of the delicious Filipino dishes are pork based.
Agree. I have seen adobo and lumpia too much already and it is time to feature other Pinoy foods.
But don't get me wrong, I love adobo and lumpia. đ
@@rafaelvicho3551 he shoulda chose Bicol express but replace the pork with beef.
3:25 , that bread looks good , usually you eat it with tomatoes , walnuts and cucumbers and feta cheese and basil or mint and saffron / rose tea , some people add green cardamom to the tea but if your adding rose water you don't need to
These are very typical food though. Now, if he chose regional food, thereâs a much wider range he can choose from which are not pork based.
Godfrey did such an amazing job in choosing dishes! đ I have lots of family & friends who donât eat pork so I was very happy I could make all of this and share with others after and not let any go to waste! (I definitely had these for lunch / dinner in the following days too hahaha!)
As a PersianâŠIâm genuinely in shock at how well homieâs tahdig came out. First time? Really?!? How!?
Filipinos main staple food is Rice, i guess that makes them quite adept at cooking rice-based food.
And his barbari! We donât actually bake it at home lol
Siepi looks like the sweetest person ever and her enthusiasm is so admirable.
I agree !!!
She's gorgeous đ
she a bit goofy ngl
She is from koren englishman đČ
I know her from working with Josh and Olly of Jolly/Korean Englishman and one of their best episodes was having the two guys go to her house and meet her dad for Persian food. Great people.
9:16 Sepi, as a Filipino, trust me when I say that dipping your Pandesal in the stew is in no way a disservice. Heck, I'd even say that it's a good idea!
omg ok Iâm glad!!! It was so tasty đ€Ł also I am totally spotting RM in your dp hahaha
Pandesal with everything really.â€ïž
@@itshellosepi Army spotted! Sepi you are beautiful
that is actually the filipino way.. if westerners have milk and oreo..we have pandesal and coffee in philippines
Use it to clean up sauce on plate(pandesal)
Aw dude Persian representation is so rare that i get *undeniably* excited whenever it actually happens lol.
right !!! this is why I felt so happy and proud to be able to showcase some dishes we have đ„ș
YES
I know right đđđ€Łđ€Ł I feel the same
As a Filipino, I feel like Persian and Iranian representation should be more abundant.
A lot of Persians in the Philippines and I'm glad there are authentic Persian restaurants in my area. âș
I'm Filipino and I've never thought of making pandesal at home. It's actually pretty funny to me that I'm learning how to make them from foreigners. Hahahaah
I mean, the fact that you never had to make it yourself means that you're just used to the community and your home.
So it's kinda a good thing you didn't start off doing it yourself, as when you finally do learn to do so, you'll feel this sense of 'homeliness' whenever you make it for yourself, especially if you've moved away from home.
Hey, I'm a an Iranian and until this day I have never made my own Barbari. I was actually shocked and impressed that the guy in the video made his own and didn't buy it from Persian supermarkets.
well thereâs the cheap panaderya for that so no need haha
When you dipped that pandesal to the kaldereta, you also took the Filipinos to heaven and back.
I too had the same experience lmao
This was fun! Where has Iranian food been all my life?!
WHERE HAS FILIPINO FOOD BEEN ALL MY LIFE !!!
If you love Iranian food then you'd love Afghan food! Give it a try!
I'm subscribing because we have the same family name. Hahaha. Joke. Nice vid.
It's cool that you guys went out of your way to comment on the video.
middle eastern food in general is so fire
I love Filipino food and I promise I can peel eggs đ„ the pressure got to me my inner perfectionist was nervous to make everyone proud đ°đ°đ°
all the filipino dishes were sarap!!!
good news your eggs must've been super fresh. old eggs peel easier. some secrets: steam your eggs instead of boiling and soak well-cracked eggs in ice water, making sure it gets in between the flesh and the shell. btw, you're a natural in front of the camera. much love
Definitely gonna be trying the Loobia Polo with Tahdigđ€©it looks amazinggg!
@@traciechakraborty3829 honestly Iâm glad to hear that hahahah I do the cold water egg trick usually works well! :D
@@mutelarsorhougbe4606 omg yessss do it! :D let us know how you get along!
I like you both guys. This is exactly what kind of people should make these videos: not fussy, curious, adventurous, food lovers, explorative, positive/joyful, grateful, all together lovely young people (you are).
Sepi just guessed it right how us Filipinos eat Arroz Caldo. We usually serve it to someone who's not feeling well and we like to eat it during rainy season. Did she google about it? Haha
I for real had no idea that it was eaten during rainy season!!! It was just how I felt as it was raining and gloomy when I was eating it and I enjoyed it even more because of that lol đ
@@itshellosepi whoa.. it's you, Sepi! I really enjoyed your reactions on the Filipino foods you made! I hope you could try other Filipino dishes and hoping you will like them. I'm going to cook your country's dishes too because they all look appetizing!
I mean pwedi naman sya sa umaga.. Kaso sa video sa tanghali
@@dot4515 hi hi hi!!! I enjoyed the Filipino food soooo much I will definitely need to go and try more đ€© Iâve had a couple of Filipino desserts before / and one or two dishes but all of these were so new to me and really made me want to go and eat more Filipino food!
It's just a common thing all over the world to eat porridge when feeling ill lol
Half Filipino and half Persian over here. Still trying to figure out how they made my suggested videos but super happy it was! Both cuisines are amazing đ”đđźđ·
what an amazing mix! hahahah well Godfrey and I make that happen with our background! âšâšâš
Lapu lapu should meet Cyrus the great
she's spot on with arrow caldo for rainy days, and when you're feeling a lil under the weather đ
iâm half irish and half persian, my whole life iâve eaten a mixture of persian dishes persian rice with irish style cooking like boiled cabbage, mashed potato, roast chicken, spring onions - and i LOVE IT!
They were the best for this challenge! Open minded and tried their best. Everything looked stunning.
bless you Janet! We love that you enjoyed it :) both of our first times making any of these dishes so I know there is stuff to learn on my end but just glad I made it and didn't mess up too much so I could share hahahah
I thought the Filipino guy was black--
She's on point describing the perfect weather in eating arroz caldo.
I'm sick so might as well make it for myself
@@elithluxe7568 youll be healed
@@elithluxe7568 and don't forget to put vicks all over your body if you're sick. That shit work wonders haha
@@sashimae8336 vicks đ€Łđđđ
its a hangover dish đđ
I'm neither Filipino or Iranian and I'm interested to try these cooking too. Thank you for sharing all these cuisines.
yaaaay! This makes me so happy to hear đ€ hope you can try any of the dishes mentioned âšâšâš
I've tried all of these Iranian recipes at home and they're great ! I love lubia polo !
It's Jolly good to see Sepi here! Hope you enjoy more Pinoy food.
You nailed the Iranian dishes. Your barbari bread looked professional! đ
Filipino food looked great as well!
Our profile kinda look the same. Tf đ€đđ
RIGHT !!!! Godfrey's Barbari was SO good I could never lol
That BarBari looked amazing !!! As an Iranian living in Alberta Canada I wish we had better Iranian stores in my area for things like BarBari !!!!
Are you kidding me? Did you see that kookoo sabzi? I was cringing hard ...that recipe was sooooo wrong
@@sabade. he literally made it the first time lol
also Sepi, dipping the pandesal in the stew is perfectly fine. heck we even dip it in freshly brewed hot black coffee! everyone should try it!
black coffee sounds d e v i n e !!! I am doing it 100%
@@itshellosepi reheated leftover pandesal is best best with spicy sardines too.. and yeah, you have to experience dunking the hot pandesal in hot coffeeđđŒ
@@rickg8015 y u m !!!
Dipping pandesal in hot cocoa brings back such good childhood memories đ„°
I love Sepi's reactions, she's so wholesome.
I love the fact that they're actually cooking the food themselves from scratch.
There's no other way Persian dishes are not made any other way but from scratch
@@ardeshirfardin2206 most filipino's dont know how to cook pandesal at home because it's more convenient and cheaper to buy at a bakery.
@@seraby7151 yea, and from vendors in their bicycles who roams around in your barangay or subdivision shouting "pandesal" early in the morning
Sepi, you described arroz caldo perfectly! Definitely a staple when someone gets a cold, the flu, or sick in general. Truly feels like a nice, comforting hug. True Filipino comfort food. đđ€
đ€
My mum would put saffron in our arroz caldo so I guess that's like a Persian-Filipino crossover.
now thatâs what I love to hear! The collab I didnât know needed to happen in food but definitely should happen đ
A very expensive aroz caldo.
My mom adds saffron too, in our lugaw đ
Fish sauce is the secret
Better than the fusion arrozcaldo with century egg and gold flakes
as a filipino living for 20 years and eats pandesal every other day my whole life ive never thought of making one! O.o might as well try
~ this is a sign ~ it was so fun to make! Needed a lot of time to rest etc but VERY worth it because the fluffiness!!!
And btw Mexican caldereta is way too different from the Philippines
In Mexican the main ingredients there are pigs intestines, liver and lungs and even the ox tripe and itâs red not because of tomato paste/purĂ©e or tomato sauce but because thereâs a lot of chilies on it that makes darker red colour
Whereas in Filipino version itâs more on subtle side itâs pork or beef meat sometimes shanks can be use then carrots, potato or sweet potato, then green beans tomato sauce, tomato purĂ©e/ paste and chickpea
Filipino caldereta is actually originally either goat or oxtail meat. Beef Caldereta and Pork Caldereta are just modern day alternatives.
@@thwb4661 for you not for everybody
@@hyunjinki1995 What's with the attitude? I'm just telling you Caldereta in the Philippines is originally a goat meat. I'm not saying it's my choice or something.
@@hyunjinki1995 suplado jajajajjaa
You two are genuinely really likeable people with really good energies.
Ok Iâm going to need these two to continue swapping dishes bc Iranian and Filipino are two of my all-time favorite cuisines. More Sepi and Godfrey please! đ©
we promise we will make appearances together! Godfrey's great my work bestie :D
@@itshellosepi You and Godfrey have a great vibe! I was even lowkey shipping you guys. haha But I'd settle for you guys being besties. :)
More content of you two together, please.
AMEN !!!!
I love that these two are British but theyâre making each others cultural foods and not just being served it. Thatâs so dope.
Now I see why Sepi left Korean Englishman/JOLLY. I want to assume she left the team on good terms, especially with everything Josh and co. went through the past 2 years. Hopefully, there was no drama involved.
The bright side to all this is, we get to see more of Sepi on camera. Glad she loved the Filipino dishes she had. As a mainland Filipino, I'm glad Godfrey chose the slightly lesser-known dishes for Sepi to try. I love Kaldereta & Arroz Caldo.
I love how they actually cooked it themselves instead of just eating already prepared food.
Makes me want to cook! Lol
And bake... Bread... Which has been my enemy lol
That Persian rice dish looked off the hook!!! Paired with the bread....I bet it was heavenđ
Bread is my enemy as well đ
right! im iranian and i would NEVER bake noon barbari, just go down the street and buy it fresh.
im a cook had a license. you dont want to eat food youve already smelled it will not be as delicious thats why cold store foods for tomorrow tastes great
YOU BOTH DID SOOOOO WELL!!!!!!! All the dishes turned out so good and so much flipping action
love u Mavis
they did so well!! please do this again, love both of their energy so much
Thanks for the video! Watching you guys made me real happy!!!
we are happy that we could make you real happy! :D
Loveeee seeing the Iranian representation in this, (we need more) the food is so good yet underrated too đ„° hope to see more dishes too, the kebabs are soon good
speaking straight facts! oh you know it Iranian kababs - 100% the best (I might be bias lol)
I love that she dipped her pandesal in the kaldereta gravy. Iâd surely do that same.
Omg, I love Persian rice/tahdig and the crispy bits you get at the bottom!
Sepi and Godfrey seem like angels on earth, love how open they are to diff foods and cultures and they are genuine human beings
The Iranian bread looks delicious. And that Rice with lamb, it's scrumptious,
I'm Filipino and my ex is from Iran. This video gave me so much feels.
Thank u for creating and uploading u guys!
That Iranian breakfast was screaming out for some fresh walnuts:)
Incredibly happy to see the presenters cooking the dishes themselves since Ive learned some recipes from it. And seeing our Filipino cuisine being appreciated is heartwarming, since it is not very well represented in the UK as compared to Asian cuisine such as Thai, Japanese, or Chinese.
I see Filipinos liking the 3rd Iranian dish easily.
There are number of Persian restaurants in the Philippines. A number of Iranians have settled there and established restaurants, mostly serving Shawarma and Kebab.
We Filipinos don't usually eat lamb meat but replace that with ground beef, and I'd easily eat that thing.
I'm no longer in the Philippines (I live in the US now) and I badly miss kebab on top of basmati rice.
Shawarma and kebabs arent even Iranian tho
@@ayxxn4931 Actually beef/lamb Kabab is as old as fire! However minced Kabab which is Kubideh in Persian meaning âgrind or minceâ was first invented by a master chef for Ardeshir Babakan the founder of the Sassanid empire in Iran/Persia and nearly 400 years later after Arabâs conquest of Persia/Iran, it got introduced to the outside world by the Arabs.
@@fanzy1338 It was made before by the ottomans
@@ayxxn4931 Lol, neither Ottoman or even Turkey existed at that time.
Shawarma is my favvv foreign food everđđ»
What dishes you prepare are just fantastic and looks sumptuous. Thank you
Both of you are so delightful to watch. Thank you!
Pinoy here and I have to say Persian food is so underrated. I personally like the rice with orange zest. Perfect match with savory Filipino dishes!
This made me so happy to watch as someone who is half Filipino and Half Iranian :) glad you guys got to experience each otherâs cuisine!
i'm so happy when one of y'all emphasized washing rice, i'm so happy y'all do that.
This was so much fun! Just openness and a positive attitude right from the beginning.
Cool!! Exactly what We need!! more Persian and Filipino food representation! So nice to see that they both enjoyed and respect the food
My mom is Filipino and my husband is Iranian. This was a video I needed to watch.đ
Omgg I've watched Sepi since forever on KoreanEnglishman imagine my excitement when I saw her on the clip!! Yay Sepi! â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
I love these two! Theyre so fun!!
I would like to see them switch Iranian and Filipino food again. That was fun and heartwarming to watch. / Iranian
merci!!! thank you đ€ we are happy if you are happy :)
Girl, you got the idea. We usually eat Arroz Caldo on rainy days or when we are sick⊠itâs like a blanket that hugs you saying everything is gonna be okâŠ
oh I defffooooo felt that! It really was a warm hug especially in the chilly weather we have in the UK!
I just found my new favorite person on the net! I love how Sepi enjoyed her dishes!
She did a great job choosing simple dishes not to make it to complicated for him đđđźđ·đâïž
thank you đ„ș Iâm glad someone mentioned this as I didnât want to dive straight into the more difficult / more long winded dishes! Thereâs a lot of elements to our cuisine so a softer introduction is great and people donât showcase these dishes as much and itâs more of a realistic of what I eat hahahahđ
Sepi is a great addition to the buzzfeed team. I loved in her in Jolly, and Inlove her even more now.
my heart = exploding!!! this is very sweet of you to say :) hope you will enjoy future videos from all of us!
@@itshellosepi With your personality, you're gong to shine. I hope you have the best 2022.
I like these two they're so fun. Dishes looked good too, well done.
Beautiful food and such a great vibe đI loved this. Thank you
@hellosepi Food is the sixth love language of Filipinos and it's the most touching gesture for us to see anyone enjoy our food. So happy you loved every dish! (spot on the Arroz Caldo!)
Kudos to Godfrey for introducing you the Filipino staples! He also makes me wanna try Iranian cuisine soon! đ
Sepi seems to appear on all the YT channels I watch đ€Ł from TSL to korean Englishman and now here! Love your energy sepi!
omg you have a reaaaaally good eye! đ€Ł bless you thank you đ„șđ„șđ„ș
10:04 the iranian folk music in the background is just đ€Żđ„đ„
I absolutely enjoyed this video. It made my heart smile. đ„°
Sepi's sooo adorable. Didn't know she's also on Buzzfeed! đ
Iranian food is very tasty. I have been to Iranian restaurants in London and the food was delicious. đđ
Stephanie from London
Pan de Sal as an Ice Cream sandwich is really good as well.
- runs to buy ice cream -
Loved her expressions while eating the caldereta :)
Iranians and Filipinos obviously both love rice. Nice to see this food swap video. The Kuku Sabzi looks like a really healthy meal.
Beautiful people, fantastic recipes, appreciation snd and learning of different cultures. What a great show!đđđ€đđœ
Ha!
The persian restaurants I go to in l.a. always have a lot of filipino customers.
I love rice with cherries and the rosewater ice cream...so so good!!
I love this so much. Their passion for food and culture is so lovely.
Love this. So wonderful to share cultures so respectfully. I need to make these recipes, they look delicious.
This was so fun to watch!Love it!
I love seeing all of this representation. I canât wait to try some of these recipes.
its crazy to see both my cultures in one video. makes me so happy to see this!
I am very jealous you grew up with both these cultures!! What a beautiful mix! :D
You both made the dishes so well i love this
I Loved â€the exchange of cultures and food through swapping recipes. It was a joy to watch. đ
Him cutting the bread with scissors made my day
it honestly made me realise why I hadnât been doing that with my barbari before LOL
Wow, these dishes were mouth-watering! Now I'm thinking of having some of these dishes to spice up my otherwise routine eating lifestyle. Sepi and Godfrey, please make more videos together, PLEEZ!! đđ
I agree on all counts lol
Filipino here. Sepi was on point at describing arroz caldo! Arroz caldo and its âsiblingsâ -lugaw and goto- are comfort food for many of us. Those are often served to/requested by Pinoys when we are sick. While it is commonly eaten for breakfast, a lot of ambulant vendors are serving it all day. I personally donât mind eating it any time of the day. The fact that Sepi sensed the ginger means she did an amazing job at sautĂ©ing it! One thing though. I think it would have been better with more liquid so it doesnât feel mushy.
There are so many dishes that could be covered this could be a continual segment. One dish a month or a week. Ghormeh Sabzi, Chicken Adobo, Haleem, halo halo, faludeh. The list just keeps going. Amazing work to both of you!
love that I got to learn more about Iranian and Filipino food!! hehe thank you guys for this great video, the food looked so good đđ
loved this representation! very diverse and fresh!! And ofc loved seeing the foodđ„°
It's really good to try food from diff countries. U will find so many nice dishes. Good job guys
I've been feeling under the weather and this video inspired me to make the Filipino Arroz Caldo & MAMAAAAAAA it is good. My soul is happy. If you try it, make sure you top it with a squeeze some lemon wedge & diced green onion before eating. A hug in a bowl đ
I'm glad that you like it! It's also one of the best hangover foods đ€«
Wow cool.
my filipino fam do that tooo!! but instead of lemon we use calamansi! calamansi is def a staple in filipino dishes âșïž
@@mia-jb4xc oooh thank you! I'll have to try thatđ
Sepi!!! Go glad to see you thriving with Buzzfeed!
There are a lot of Iranian in my University, CEU, in the Philippines taking up Dentistry and they have a Persian restaurant at the back of our school. I always eat there when I have enough money to do so.
itâs time to make friends (if you havenât already) with some of the Iranians / Persians and give them a salam at the restaurant and youâll instantly become friends ! we love seeing people try our food and appreciate our culture :) I hope you can enjoy some Iranian food soon đ€©
@@itshellosepi shawarma/kebab is the only iranian food ive ever tasted.. Love shawarma i can eat it everyday!
@@mugenjin1986 my personal favorite Persian dish is ash reshteh. Good soup :)))))
@@mugenjin1986 Shawarma is an Arabic food, Persian kebabs are famous but different from other kebabs in the region.
Miss Sepi, as a Filipino, Thank you so much for the appreciation! I must say that I absolutely love Iranian Foods, and I will look forward to try it! đ
thank you so much for your kindness! I know my attempts werenât perfect but I tried my best for my first time cooking these all 𧥠I love that you enjoy Iranian food! Makes me happy to hear that đ„°

That Iranian thadig (sp?) looked absolutely delicious!! I gotta try it.
yummmmy yes please do! You can even make it with Pasta we love doing it that way too (Italians might not love us for that hahaha)
I only recently discovered macaroni tahdig and blamed my Mister for not introducing to me earlier. I cooked it 4 weeks in a row just to salvage what I've missed these past few years đ

the fact that both of them are such good home cooks makes this video better!
This is so wonderful!
Another common spread you would typically accompany with pandesal is reno liver spread( yes a bit weird but trust me itâs delicious)
nah that sounds so good I would totally try it!
That iranian rice dinner dish looked really good.
Happy this came on recommendation! Best and respectful ppl and yummy food đ€€
Everything looks amazing
thank you sepi for appreciating our Filipino cuisine â„ïžâ„ïž
thank Godfrey for bringing more amazing Filipino food into my life I feel so happy đ€ lemme know any dishes I should try! I want to go eat some more / try cooking some!
