mother and son bonding with eating filipino food đ€©đđ
This video makes me miss my mother even more. Thank you for sharing the positive vibes. We need more! đ
Youâre welcome! More positive vibes coming! Stay tuned đ
Yes, ginataang bilo-bilo / halo-halo can also be considered a comfort food and can be eaten anytime of the day as a breakfast, snack, or dessert hot or cold (chilled). It has ube, sweet potato, tapioca, and saba a local type of banana indigenous to the Philippines, which is also used in making Turon, among others.đđđ
Yum! đ
The hair is actually the fiber from the jackfruit. It's good to know they added it coz when you cook it with jackfruit, it tends to soften into strands as thin as hair.
You may want to try the corn and jack fruit version of this. Itâs called âGinataang Maisâ (coconut milk, glutinous rice, corn, jack fruit).. so comforting!
Sounds really good! đ
Try bibingka with shredded coconut and muscovado / coconut sugar. Bibingka is sort of a Filipino style pancake. After it is cooked usually a good size pancake, a dab of margarine on top then sprinkled with shredded coconut and muscovado.
Another is palitaw. Glutinous rice flour is milled flour made by grinding cooked and dehydrated kernels of long or short-grain glutinous rice (Oryza sativa glutinosa). Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice or sweet rice, refers to any type of rice high in amylopectin starch and low in amylose starch. It is also rolled in coconut and brown sugar with sesame seeds. Both bibingka and palitaw are delicious and usually for morning or afternoon snacks. Great with coffee or hot chocolate.
The restaurant must be top grade. That is a very yummy looking bilo bilo. It's purple probably they put Ube in it. We usually have it without Ube so it's color white. Last time I had this was when I went to my Lola last year. I can't go back for now due to restriction and requirements of air travel but yeah it's a very traditional Filipino dessert.
Btw, we usually eat these stuff during rainy season when the climate is a bit more 'cold' than usual. Something to keep us warm. But if you prefer it every morning, that is fine since you have a cold weather there. That food is perfect!
The green round stuff must probably be a cooked tapioca (I may be wrong on this) and the banana flavor item you tasted is yes a banana but more like a cousin - 'saba'. It's a type of banana but more fatter and more round. Glad you enjoy it.
Thanks for explaining things to me đ
@@ChrisEatsStuff anytime.
so proud of you Chris! you already know ube at first sight! đđ
Iâm getting better! đ
yes, any leftover is put in the fridge for breakfast and it's so good in the morning either cold or heated
I just ate that today for an afternoon snack. :) that green chewy thing is a rice flour/glutinous rice with water that was formed into circle then boiled.
Good thing you both loved it đ
So comforting and yummy đ
That's a personal fave for me. Very local, very traditional đ”đ dessert
Itâs so good! đ
If i remember it right, bilo-bilo comes from the action 'bilo' or 'paggulong' which means making into a circle/round, the way to shape the glutinous rice into small balls. I think the purple and green ones are made of glutinous rice: purple - supposedly ube flavored and green - pandan flavored (pandan is like an aromatic grass used in South East Asian cooking) đ
Thatâs really cool! đ
We call it "ginataang bilo bilo"...bilo bilo is a grind/powdered stiky rice and formed into a ball like...the light violet cube like is not sweet potato, it is a "taro corm"...it is sweet potato like but its not, it is "taro corm"...and its my favorite ingredient ...we have ginataang bilo bilo anywhere here for snacks.. thanks for liking our ginataang bilobilo..
The green ball I guess is pandan flavored bilo-bilo while the purple one is ube flavored. Ingredients basically are sweet potato, casava, saba (soecie of banana), tapioca, purple yam, glutinous rice balls, jackfruit, pandan leaves, coco milk. Nice to see you are enjoying Filipino food.
Hi Chirs ! Hello to your mom. You should try chicken arroz caldo filipino congee. We usually cook and eat this when its cold and raining. My mom usually cooks this for me when I am sick and needs nutritious food to help me recuperate from my illness.
Since you live in Canada you will surely love this during the bitter winter in Canada . You can cook this with lots of ginger to get with fried garlic on top.
Go to panlasang pinoy for the recipe go to his website for the english translation of the recipe.
You pronounced the ginataang bilo bilo perfectly! The rice flour balls are the bilo bilo; the other carbs are usually the sweet potato, banana, corn, jackfruit, with lots of mini tapioca balls, and the green and purple ones are the bigger tapioca pieces. The purple color is ube. And yes, it is the perfect siesta or bedtime snack. :)
Yaaaay Iâm starting to pronounce better đ
mum is a good contextualiser of the texture and flavour
why? i am happy and sad now!? i miss my mom! i love how you treat your mom like a "barkada" it means friend! i miss my mom! i am crying now not because i'm sad! because i'm happy to see both of you! i pray your mom have a good health and more blessing! god bless you my friend! new subscriber! love from PH
God bless you too! And thanks for subscribing. Take care my friend đ
Usually it has a ripe Saba variety of local Banana, big variety Taro root, Ube, sweet potato, and small balls of glutinous rice. Jackfruit is added if it was made special at home or Kaong Palm nut if available.
So Masarap! đ
The hair you were talking about is the fiber from jackfruit. The good thing about bilo-bilo is you can eat it hot or cold. My husband loves to eat it when it's cold.
Yes, that's plantain banana. A very filling snack food that can also be meal already. With coconut cream. The colored, rounded ones are usually the tapioca, we call it "sago."
Thatâs really cool! So yummy! đ
Bilo bilo is my rainy cold day comfort food. Mine always has langka. It's somewhat like the hot version of halo halo, if you ever tried that for warm hot days.
I always enjoy watching your mom
You are very fortunate that you got to share your happy moments with your mom.
I feel very grateful to have my Mom. I appreciate her very much and cherish every moment I have with her đ
It's not usually considered a dessert ... it's an afternoon snack.... Jackfruit is stringy.... If it's green like mochi...it's made of pinipig ( green variety of rice) the banana gives the sweetness called Saba..we also add Saba to bulalo...
Try another tapioca like glutenous snack called Palitaw. It's glutenous rice patties boiled rolled in coconut and sprinkled with sugar and toasted sesame seeds... You'll know it's cooked when it floats when being boiled... Litaw means appear...when it floats or appears on the surface of water ... it's cooked
Weâll try Palitaw sometime! Thanks for the recommendation! đ
Oh my gosh. I Love Bilo Bilo especially during Autumn and Winter season. Enjoyed watching you guys from Chicago, IL. đ đ”đ đșđž â€ïžđ
We love Bilo-Bilo too now! So glad youâre enjoying watching! Hello from Canada đšđŠđđ»
Not sweet potatoes but close- taro(ube) or purple yum. Youâre right Philippine plantain that we call Saba. Filipinos call them bananas but their plantains to be botanically right. It should have Jackfruit (langgka).
G. Bilo-bilo is normally served hot but I keep it in the fridge for at least an hour because I like it cold like ice cream.
Weâll have to try it cold next time đ
@@ChrisEatsStuff I think thatâs just me though. Or maybe a few others have tried it cold. I dunno. Another good version is Ginataang Mais (not sure you see the root word âgataâ which means coconut cream so laden with coco cream and then mais =obviously from Spanish đœ corn).
I am so excited how you wilk find our Ginataang Bilo-Bilo. And you said the thing right. Bilo-bilo. One of the signature afternoon meal or merienda here in the Philippines. My 6th video of yoirs jist for today, non-stop.
Hi, I think the green one is Kaong. I don't think it's sago. Because their shape is different. Sago is circled. But Kaong is like what I saw on camera when you show it and it's bigger than sago. But the taste is different. The sago is soft while the kaong is something like hard a little like tapioca. Usually, the Kaong here is color green and red. It's my first time to see the Bilo-Bilo with Kaong, so I think I will try it next time when I cook bilo-bilo. If it is kaong, then kaong is made of coconut, too. Kaong is usually an ingredient in fruit salad here and buko salad, .I love to eat kaong plainly, too.
The violet/purple is ube. The one that likes rectangular is sweet potato and your mom is right about that guessing first hehe. The hairlike and color yellow is jackfruit. The banana like is called saba. It is also a banana but it is fat and can eat unripe or ripe. Usually, saba is in 'cook mode'/unlike the common banana that can't be cook. Saba is delicious as you only boiled it, banana cue, turon, ingredient in nilaga, ingredient also in potchero and other delicious Filipino meal food wherein saba is needed.
Ginataang Bilo-bilo is a traditional HOLY WEEK feast for Filipino families. Imagining the serene quiet holy week afternoons while watching biblical programs on TV and eating this....ah, fave season of the year apart from NYE and Halloween.
I think the green one is "kaong" or sugar palm fruit. In some version they put it, others put sago, similar to tapioca pearls. The banana is called Saba or sweet plantain, the same banana used in turon.
Thanks for the great info! đ
Yes that is actually a afternoon snack or we call it "merienda" but you can definitely eat it as breakfast or dinner, that also reminds me of my grandma she always cook it for us (grandsons/daughters) đ
I love it! đ
yup, its perfect for cold weather.... but when it's during summer, i would put it in the ref for a few hours and eat it cold.
Try "Turon" also it is similar to Lumpia but the opposite of it because it's Sweet and usually eaten during afternoon ,Btw i enjoy watching you and your mother eating some filipino afternoon snack đ
@Sean David Garingo they already have a video for that you missed it âŠ
Thanks! So glad youâre enjoying watching! Please watch the Turon video on my channel đđđ»

Thanks so much for the compliments and for the sub! đ
The green balls must be a pandan rice balls while the other one is a cassava fruit. I really enjoy watching you! Love you both really :)
My mom makes Bilo-bilo with ripe banana saba, sweet potatoes, ripe jack fruit, tapioca pearl, yucca or taro root and bilo-bilo made from sweet rice flour.
Sounds absolutely Masarap! đ
Hi Chris ! You should try our kakanin the ultimate Filipino merienda ( snacks) like sapin sapin, our suman sa lihiya topped with fresh grated coconut with sugar, puto bumbong . We usually have this for breakfast with steamy hot chocolate or coffee during Christnas and holidays You may want to try our local Filipjno ice cream Selecta brand ube macapuno flavor.
Try our tapsilog. Filipjno breakfast with garlic rice. Thank you â€ïž
That green thing is Kaong (sugar palm fruit)
The Saba banana you ate is the same banana you ate in Turon. The fibrous ingredient is Jackfruit. You're right. The green ones are perhaps glutinous rice (like mochi in Japan) flavored with Pandan plant. Yes! You can eat it on breakfast with tea or coffee. You can even eat it cold if your day is hot. Don't worry about about how you eat it. You and your mom are doing fine. Your mom can surely try to cook it.
Thanks for the info!
Ube and with the green color are the same they are glutinous rice powder to formed a small dough the yam potato you were tasted was a yucca root it grows also in the ground.... there are many kinds of yucca root but it also cook many ways also different culture different way of cooking it!
Thanks for great information đ
All time favorite ng mga Pinoy ang ginataang bilo bilo.. yumm yummđđ
Yummmmmy! đ
Yes. Apart from the variety of what you get, it is enjoyable to eat because you just want to keep stirring it.
I feel like watching a comedy show on TV. You're all so funny. I'm amused with your Mom who is so game in making funny conversation. She's like my Mom. Btw, Bilo Bilo is commonly eaten during rainy season in the Philippines especially in Luzon. There is a counterpart of that in Visayas and Mindanao which is called Binignit with a different color taken from brown sugar.
Ya my Mom loves joking around lol đ
here in this part of Visayas, we call it ginat-an/ginataan
You always sounds like a game show host...very energetic...very talkative you can be a good tv host toođ€đ€đ€
Thanks so much! đ
Hi chris, oh i plan to cook that Ginataan Bilo-Bilo for my husband Bday on Oct. 16 đđ
Can you Plsssss. Greet my husband on his Bday!!! đđđđđ, Goodluck! Filipino Loves you and your mom, more vlogs and Subscriber to come đ
Bilo bilo is rice flour and water in a clay like consistency⊠easiest to make. Coconut milk and coconut cream with sugar and pandan leaves⊠there is also ginataang halo halo that is a hot version of the halo halo⊠where you have what you read in Wikipedia but more colorful đ
Iâll have to try the hot version of Halo-Halo đ
@@ChrisEatsStuff well thereâs no ice obviously since it is ginataan, has coconut milk and cream with jackfruit, sweet potatoes, banana, bilo bilo, colorful tapioca balls, taro root and sugar.
Yes, just like binignit... In CEBU
Wow awesome thanks guys for appreciated our pinoy foodsđđđ
Youâre welcome! đ
Filipinos prepared bilo- bilo for any occasion in the village.
Thatâs the desserts that I really missed here in the US..Filipino here and watching you from Beaumont, CA..
Thanks for watching! đ
i like it cold like desert.. many like it hot for breakfast or afternoon snack.
I would like to try it cold as well đ
Me we never ate that as a morning breakfast I don't know to other people from my country!! It's different folks different strokes! I put it that way? We ate out GUINATANG HALOĂ2 @ MID OF THE DAY? BEST THING THERE IS IF YOU MIX IT WITH COOK RICE? LOVE IT!
Bilo-Bilo is so good! đ€€
Wow i miss to eat that bilo bilo.we eat that in the afternoon we call it merienda.
Watching this ..make me craving for it..i got to grocery to get ingredients and cook one for me.....yum yum
So good
HELLO CHRIS EATS WOW GINATAANG BILO BILO SO YUMMY YOU TRY NEXT GINATAANG MAIS ALSO SO YUMMY 8M WATCHING NOW I REALLY REALLY ENJOY WATCHING WITH YOUR MOTHER STAY SAFE GODBLESSS â„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïžâ„ïž
That is another variety of banana commonly called Saba. The green might be sago or macapuno
In the Philippines we use the saba banana - something similar to plantain but sweeter.
Yummy đ
Don't worry, the "hair" is from the jackfruit meat (the yellow one your mother found at 18:40). Anyone who's been eating bilo-bilo would know, it's actually from the stringy jackfruit meat.
Thanks for letting us know đ
I'm starving now while you eating bilo bilo!!! thanks for trying Filipino foods, there's more to explore!!!
Your mother is so funny as well as you
The "purple one" is ube. The green one might be some sort of pandan. The banana you taste is NOT the plantain that most people mistake it for. It's a different variety of banana. It's called, "saba." There maybe some taro, too. The "hair" is the jackfruit and its fiber.
So interesting đ
The mom and the son tandem is so much â€ïž
We usually make that every HOLY WEEK that was our routine every year never miss the holy week without trying Bilo-Bilo and Biko â„ïž
Thatâs so cool! đ
Love u mother.....
As always, you guys are hilarious! đđđđ€Ł
Thanks so much! đ€Ł
Your mom is so sweet đ„ș
She sure is đ
we ate ginataang bilo2 every 3 oclock its refreshing when you but its grate when its cold
Especially on a hot day đ
I heard winter in Canada can go below 50 degrees so please do take care as winter is now approaching. Hope bilo-bilo will now be one of your comfort food during the season! đ
It definitely will be a comfort food in the bitter cold winter đ
Hi chris, please try SOPAS..its a soup dish, one of our rainy season comfort food, actually all year round not just for rainy season
Iâll try that sometime đ
That also can be a good breakfast, when I am in the state I eat Bilo-bilo for breakfast and if I am back in the Philippines I am eating it for the afternoon snacks, because you know it's mostly colder weather in the states compare to the Philippines.
You should also try Lugaw or Aroscaldo a very nice and very comforting Filipino porridge â€ïž
Itâs now on the âmust tryâ list đ
Youre a god host my dear! You have to try more filo dishes/desserts! â€â€â€
Thanks! We will try more yummy Filipino food for sure đ
Love watching your vid..keep digging filipino foodđđâ€ïžâ€ïžđ”đ
đđ»đšđŠđ
Thatâs my favorite đ
i love your vlog.. my favourite.. Bilo-bilo
i am eating that soo .đđđđđđđđ»
So good
Wow, youâre making me want to leave the house to get ginataang bilo- bilo! Sometimes its called ginataang halo- halo because it has a mixture of ingridients. There is also ginataang mais because it only has corn or ginataang mongo because it only has brown mongo beans.
New Tagalog Word : Pagkain = Food
Masarap na Pagkain = Delicious Food
Thanks for teaching us đ
Hahaha.đđits not hair..but it the fiber of jackfriut..i miss my mom..cooking that bilo2x..
đ€Ł
your mom is so cute
the greeny thing is what we call kaong or sugar palm fruit ..
Thanks for letting us know đđ»đ
Sometimes if I eat Belo 2x added honey crisp cereal.. For my breakfast...đ
đ
It's raining right now and watching this is đ. New filipino sub here from Cambodia
Thanks for the sub! đ Hello from Canada đšđŠđđ»
it's also good to eat bilo bilo when it's freezing cold
Our winters are freezing cold so we may be having Bilo-Bilo many more times đ
The "purple and green thing" is your bilo-bilo đ or the sweet rice ball. This guinataan (ghee-nah-tah-ahn) is made with chunks of sweet potato, jack fruit, plantain banana, and the rolled rice balls with coconut milk doubled with coconut cream. The "hair" is actually the fiber from the jack fruit (langka).
To make the rice balls: a bag of sweet rice flour with a can of coconut milk, a sprinkle of salt, a teaspoon of sugar. Mix all then roll into tiny balls then refrigerate to harden it.
To make the guinataan: bring the coconut milk to a simmer, drop all (rice balls, sweet potato, banana, jackfruit), sprinkle salt and about half a cup of sugar (according to your taste). Simmer for 15-20 minutes in medium-low heat. Serve hot. đ
That is one of my favorite comfort food. There are sweet potato or yam (square shaped pieces), plantain, tapioca, jackfruit (yellow pieces), round pieces are glutenous rice (they may have used coloring or powdered flavoring ingredients of sort), coconut milk, little sugar. BTW, your pronunciations are getting a lot better. Like you followed my advice (haha just kidding, you did that on your own).
Thanks for your great advise! đ
