thanks for featuring filipino food
Dude that beef mechado made me drooling 🤤
How long did he put that pork belly in the ove?l
"We're not late, just behind schedule" Filipino words to live by
Bruh I swear when they said they be somewhere at 7 they be coming 10. hahaha Why you guys do this to me.
Filipino time, as always
"Dude where the hell are you?"
"On the way"
Bro come to South Africa... You ask someone where are you.. And they say
I'll be there now now bro..
It's south African time.. Party is set to be at 7.. Everyone shows up at 9 haha
Damn right made my day 😂😂😂
@@MEGASTRIX true
I started eating Filipino food two years ago, and was blown away. I love it so much, that I started cooking it at home. It is a delicious cuisine. Now I want to travel to the Phillipines, meet the people, and really soak in the culture. I also love how this dude is grinding after losing his job. Food brings people together.
Yep it ain't fancy, but sht hits home. Asian soul food.
you're welcome to visit us after this pandemic... stay safe kaibigan!
@@marrimar4624 I hope to also
I can supply all the women you can eat for a price lol
One dish I recommend is Binagoongang baboy/ Talong. Bagoong is a fermented shrimp paste. It can smell off to some but tastes amazing. It's a definite umami bomb.
Then baboy is pork, talong is eggplant. Either works and if often combined. One of my favorite dishes.
He's a Filipino to his very core. No measurements in cooking. Cocky yet humble. Overworked but still passionate. And curse a lot but still respectful. Truest Pinoy in every sense of the word. I'm very proud of you my man. And I will go to your place just to get that nostalgic feeling of authentic Pinoy food, although it's a 4 hour drive.
@@qwertywrites3460 @Qwerty Writes Humbleness is not boasting about your achievements. Yeah he is arrogant but look at his staff dude, they all respect him because they know they're in good hands. You don't know how things work in the Philippines. We joke and.curse a lot but still we have respect for ourselves, our elders and almost everybody (not including rude ones). And arrogance and rudeness are not the same thing dude.

This man is legit, unlike others who make it fancy that's it's almost nowhere near the original Filipino food. But this guys, they give you the real Filipino cuisine. Best wishes on your business.
those that make it fancy are just disgusting with their Ignorance and Fakeness. The whole Adobo Bull Shit is getting saturating. Every Fil Am cooks it in CZcams. No one cooks Adobo for parties!
Straight facts💯, Filipino food is catered for everyone whether you're rich or poor✊,, yes I get how some chefs will make fusion dishes out of it and thats fine wit me but it sucks when they put up the menu price when thats not how the humble filipino cuisine is supposed to be, its should be about good comfort and unique flavours,,and thats the secret of the filipino food dishes untold to many😉🇵🇭

We don't accept you as a Filipino if you don't open your mind.
Seriously, we all have our ways of cooking adobo.
Not everything in Wesley's menu is "real Filipino cuisine". There's Spanish, Chinese and American...etc
Man I love people from the Philippines. I worked under a chef who was Filipino. I will always hold him as one of my biggest influences. Huge heart, made sure I was well fed, great banter and always there with a post service brew. Love you Essex I'm very thankful for your mentorship.
:-) love Filipino ppl, too and to work with them.
His name was Essex?
"Made sure I was well fed". I laughed so hard at this. Filipinos really like feeding people.
Im a filipino citizen here
I work with a ton of Filipino people as an RN. THEY ARE THE KINDEST GREATEST HARD-WORKING PEOPLE. Can’t give Filipinos enough love!
OMG. I just realized that the Filipino version of high five is "APIR" but it really just means "Up here". Mind blown!
Now, I know 😁
Honestly as a Filipino who's been taking it for granted the small things I grew up with. I just knew this after I read your comment.
I shook about this, never realized this before...
Wtf! 😲
And taympers means time freeze
The most legit Filipino food in Northern America I've seen so far. No twist, no mix. Pure unapologetic Filipino food. This man is a legit cooking tito in every Filipino gathering
Though what you said could be true about most of the Filipino cooking outside the Philippines he is not in the US 😅.

I would watch a cooking show these guys are in. They’re so fun, fresh, and authentic.
Thats the pilipino way. Put love on the cooking
You stop pouring the ingredients when your ancestors tell you

Me: *stops*
@@koanpocara1964 and that's the asian way. HAHAHAHA
"Ok na yan"
It's tradition
The anxiety level when they shout hooops!stop!😂
As a Filipino, I can feel that they are really authentic.
- They do not scream at the kitchen because we have a superstitious belief that bars us from doing so (the food will give you digestive illness).
- They exhibit the 'aligaga' cooking trait.
- They believe that they are not late, just behind schedule. (Pinoy time).
- They do not do fucking measurements, but estimates. That way, the food has more magical feeling.
- He is right about Adobo. There is no ACTUAL way of cooking. Each household has its own Adobo recipe.
- That napkin over the forehead and apron. That is one of the typical styles you see in Filipino carinderia.
- They are welcoming, talkative, and excited.
- A strong hint of Pinoy pride when he said "our food is not cheap, man."
- Having a conversation with everyone on the street. Filipinos are naturally friendly.
So if you happen to live nearby his resto, I highly recommend you to buy food from him. It is like visiting the Philippines already. When I see his Lechon Kawali, I swallowed my saliva with delight. That shit's delicious.
Tama!
What is this magical feeling you speak of when you do estimates?
@@ougintoga7195 Gut feeling
so precise..love it!
What is aligaga?
I'm mexican and tasted that lechón kawali here in kitchener. Its what we eat in México as carnitas with chicharron, I get some tortillas, some salsa verde, lime and there you go. Mexican-Filipino fusión right there,
"If you don't see the salt, put more"
oh yeah that's the way
This is true for mani.
fvcking accuate
My dad cooking chicken
Some filipino moms will just eat in a restaurant with delicious food and say “kaya ko ito gawin sa bahay.” And you are wrong if you said she can’t.
they even innumerate the ingredients even if it's their first time eating the dish
I'm not a mom yet and I'm like that already😂
Mom: mine's better
Me: no doubt
Right? Idk how they manage to do it but filipino moms are just pretty cool.
DAMN RIGHT. KAYA DI NA AKO NAKAKAPAG JOLLIBEE PUNYETA HAHAHAHAHA
He buys the ingredients, cooks it, and also the one who delivers it. Bro, the effort that you are making is blowing my mind. Would you not enjoy the food when it is being delivered to your doorstep by the same person who cooked it? Not to mention, the way he cooked his food is purely filipino. No extra bullshit, straight filipino style and recipe. I just ate an hour ago, and damn i'm hungry.

Their friendship reminds me of my dad, my titos, my dad's friends and my titos' friends. Filipino men have super tight friendships
Yeaahhh!
Almost every Filipino household doesn’t measure we just put either a lot or a few and it comes out good
I agreed but when you run a business, good recipe is the only thing help your restaurant survive.
A good Filipino chef don't measure how much ingridients he/she uses😂🤣😂
@@minhatvo2814 Usually other Chefs aside from Filipinos don't really measure when cooking except for cake and pastries 😁✌️

"i don't know. I was told not to fkin touch it." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every filipino ever
my mom warned me not to stir the vinegar once you put it in, or else it will be *fcked up* lmao
I think I figured out why you don't disturb the adobo. When you add the vinegar, it stays on the bottom and gets absorbed slowly into the meat. If you stir it, it'll evaporate too fast and over-carmelize or burn. So, you just have to leave it on simmer.
Ugh crispy lechon😍
One noticeable trait you can see with his friend is he always smiles and projects humility like a typical tito haha
Very Filipino. The process and ingredients are all legit. I only see one wrong thing with this video... Wes, my Mom makes the best adobo. Hahaha. Cheers kapatid.
@@sintron1233 He better get a shower. Hahaha
Nothing will beat the cooking ng ina mo 😀
i disagree. my nanay’s adobo is the best.
Of course not! My mom does! :)
@@Ayanventures for what? Pretty sure that he already did remember hes at the shoot with Eater its a Filipino thing when about to meet some one important make sure that he took a shower before hand and showering everyday regardless of the weather condition is a very Filipino thing
He found his Ikigai and even took his best friend with him for the journey. Now that’s something beautiful.
True. He's lucky to had found his Ikigai.
We should all be so lucky 😍😍😍
Just finished that book. Finding this comment is a great sign 🤞🏻
Garlic or "Bawang" is always in every Filipino food. So when somebody says - "Para kang bawang" or "You are like a garlic", it means "You are everywhere." Atleast that is what my mom told me.
Sa inyo ko lang narinig ito
yeah already heard of this and I agree bawang is always in every filipino food and my always favorite is the "Sinangag"😋
Ha!x3 that's funny but true Ha!x3
That one tito that brings more joy to your family celebrations:
measuring by instinct is actually very filipino...or asian as a whole.
Anybody thats knows how to cook confidently. Ftfy
Every ethnicity. Using actual measurements is a very modern phenomenon because people are increasingly cooking food they have no familiarity with.
@@demitriusrawluk5747 solid point
I saw malaysian chefs alsondo this too. Its kinda funny and awesome at the same time
Yeah
These guys have a better relationship than most married couples.
where is the lie 🤣

My parents act more like best friends who love to tease each other than sweet love birds who say such romantic things. Does anyone else have relationships/parents like these?
Bromance

I'm an aspiring Pinoy chef, this is what I want to do after I graduate. Grind and grind until the most expensive in your eyes today becomes a daily disposal thing someday.
I am glad that they did not put any "spin" on our food. Hope his business becomes more successful.
I wish this man and his bestfriend with all the success they deserve. Very chill mindset, nothing too fancy. Just the Joy of having people enjoy the food you make. Such an Inspiration. Mabuhay ka Kabayan!

"We're not late, we're just behind schedule"
That's the most Filipino thing to say.
I love this guys authenticity. With his food and how he carries himself. He a real one for sure ✊🏼
Yup, all Filipinos thinks their adobo is the best. The don't touch after putting in the vinegar rule is also in effect in our household, and no one knows the exact reason why as well.
legends say the vinegar won't "cook" right. lol, at least that's what they told me.
You dont touch it after putting vinegar cuz the vinegar wont cook and it gets stuck on the meat with not cooked vinegar taste, rather than the usual cooked vinegar taste
That rule was never in my household. I mix the all the ingredients including both wet (toyo, suka) in the beginning
The rule about the vinegar in our household is just for the chicken, vinegar will shred your chicken meat apart easily so you don't touch it.
For the pork on the other hand, you can just mix everything in the beginning let it simmer for 45mins and you're done.
you put the vinegar to tenderize the meat and contribute to the taste. the acid in the vinegar should seep through the proteins in the meat to break it down, reducing the time needed for cooking. actually this serves nothing for the taste as the vinegar is used is lost in the process. the excess vinegar that wont seep through creates that taste. vinegar's acid however, is volatile, meaning a bit of stirring will evaporate it easily, so you will always be using "less" vinegar than your recipe counts since it is lost to the steam. this means your meat wont get tenderizes, since tenderizing the meat requires most of your vinegar than it contributing to the taste. I'm a Filipino chemist BTW.
'it doesn't mean were late it just means were off schedule"

From being the one who buy the ingredients, then the chef and lastly the delivery guy.. thats one hell of an all rounder sir.. Passion over work.. Much respect!! Puso!
Treat your bestfriend good he is such a blessing
Honestly, Filipino cooking never require any measurements, we do it by feel/heart and that's what makes it so special. Every home has their specific way, take on a particular dish. My adobo tastes different from my mom or from my grandmother or aunt. My kids can easily tell which one cooked that adobo even without knowing who actually did the cooking.
The filipino food is cheap because it's meant to be shared for everyone. That's the filipino way!
The grind don't stop brother. Good luck to your business.
That's a really nice way to put it

Not as much as you’d think. even the jollibees have been doing pretty steady business, enough that they’ve added two more locations after their first pilot store in toronto. At the filipino food court i buy from, there’s usually a quite a nice stream of customers throughout the day

@@skroonysstick9847 nope the best adobo is made by my ate fely
Fun Fact: True "Filipino time" would be being ahead of schedule because being 2nd class citizens back when we were still a Spanish colony, we couldn't afford to be late. The 30-mins behind schedule thing is actually "Spanish time".
This is depicted in Jose Rizal's book Noli Me Tangere, where at the start, the protagonist(Ibarra) arrived early, the Spanish priest Damaso arrived late, and the Americans arrived exactly on time.
Wow you learn something new everyday.
Thanks wikipedia
Well in this day and age filipino time means being 30 minutes late while you're at the shower
Well, if you consider that only the Spaniards and the mestizos at that time were called Filipinos, since natives were called Indios, Filipino time would then be accurate.
This is why there

So many Ilocanos

It's very similar to vietnamese food too, which is similar to Chinese food.

So yummy and it reminded me in a sense to Mexican home style cooking.
This is definitely one hard working and dedicated man!! Keep up the good work my dude!!
even under pressure you see the Filipino sense of humor, there's always fun and smile all day and the camaraderie is priceless.
Congrats on taking the leap guys. I’ve been in business for about 6 years now. It’s a very difficult thing to do and maintain but hearing these stories lights a fire under my ass. Work hard and surround yourself with positive people and you will succeed. God speed!
