Hi I'm Ayngelina and my full time job is my site BaconisMagic.ca it's all about the best food around the world and how to make it at home.
In 2010 I left a job in advertising, 5 year relationship and sold all my possessions to travel the world. In the last ten years I've had some crazy experiences and even owned a restaurant in Toronto at one time. And prior to 2020 I had been based in Cuba.
When the world shut down I returned to Canada and decided to teach myself video. I wanted to share more than just words and photos but to show people the adventures I have learning about food around the world.
I'm not married. I have no kids. But I do have a lot of local friends who help me discover the best local tips.

Love Ecuador? You'll adore these Ecuador t-shirts: ecuador.myspreadshop.com/
Although a vegetarian, still enjoy these beautifully filmed blogs from such a cheerful foodie. An amazing country with friendly easy going people. So much color in food, nature, architecture, murals and all else. Bravo Ecuador!
Thank you so much! When I return in the fall I'm going to start mentioning vegetarian food options at restaurants. I didn't realize so many viewers were plant based so I'm happy to include it.
@@ayngelina I love this! Great to see the variety of options.
Hello
dear!
It's a pleasure watching your Ecuadorians videos every day!! Thank you for your well-done videos from my beautiful country the dish called Picante de Pescado nobody was mentioned before, I am glad that you love our varied gastronomy we have high quality as you have realized! We hope you had only good and high-quality experiences in our country and of course that made you decided to choose Ecuador as your permanent house one day. Who knows right? Keep doing excellent job you are doing it great Ayngelina we like you a lot.
Alexandra thank you so much for the kind words, muy amable.
Really cool you got to meet the nuna guy!! So cheap too!
You have to respect a hard working entrepreneur!
Like, like, like! Thanks for sharing Ayngelina 🤗
Oh thanks so much Nellie!
Great video on Olon, Ecuador. The beach was super clean and they had plenty of good eateries. Th drone footage of the beach was very interesting too. The Colombian fellow was selling some good pastries. I enjoyed seeing Olon, Ecuador!
I am so thrilled you liked it!
Hello Ayngelina, we are the Nuna Team, thanks for the beautiful detail of speak about us in your video 💚🍃🏖️, have a beautiful journey 🙏🏻😊
Thank you so much 🤗
Espléndido video de Olon que nunca había escuchado de Ecuador.
Gracias VIto
Hola amiga siempre serás bienvenidos a nuestro país mis felicitaciones por este canal tan lindo que tienes y gracias por visitar nuestro país Saludos para usted y toda tu familia esperando que Regresen que Dios te bendiga
Gracias por su amables palabras, es un hermoso país.
I like all of your videos. I went to Olon too. Next time there, and it will be next time, I will stop for that encebollado, looks great!
Please do!
Very nice. I'll be spending two nights in Olon next week.
Maybe we will see you around town next week. Enjoy Olon
Oh nice, I hope you find it helpful!
Montanita is for the young crowd Vs. Olon for mature/elder crowd
I think I’m now part of that older crowd
Me da alegría que estés en Ecuador, Dios te bendiga. Lamentablemente el País no está pasando por un buen momento, pero disfrute mucho, porque somos muy bondadosos, y si puede también puede venir a Guayaquil a disfrutar, lo recomiendo. Sí puede para guiarla a lugares turísticos en Guayaquil
Tengo algunos videos del otoño pasado en Guayaquil, deberías verlos!
@@ayngelina de acuerdo, que tal le pareció Guayaquil?
@@ayngelina acá en Ecuador no hay otoño, solo dos estaciones que es el Verano y El invierno, sol o lluvias, 😄
Tienes razon, soy Canadiense pues cuando digo otono es entre septiembre y deciembre.
Olon is my favorite place! Especially overlook from church!
I definitely want to check that out.
Thanks to your consistency in providing Spanish subtitles, we were able to watch this in full as a family tonight, and guess how we knew roughly how long ago this was filmed?
Andres’s hair?
@@ayngelina ¡Exactamente!
He cut it after our coastal trip. Yesterday I worked on videos where it’s now short ☺️
@@ayngelina Andrés remains an excellent compliment to your videos.
Your amazing, exploring the area by yourself, trying all kinds of food ,you make it look so easy ,I am retired and thinking about buying oceanfront home in Ecuador. Looking at Manta mostly, it must be the biggest oceanfront city. they seem to have the biggest selection, but looking for quite and gated area-if you have any suggestions- I can afford any ,but worried if I dont like it ,I need to sell to another American,cause their probably the only ones that can buy it- since the ave monthly wage is about 500 bucks in Ecuador, enjoy your travels and be safe
Yes if you watch my Ecuador live videos I talk a lot about this. Real estate is not a good investment in Ecuador like it is in other countries. But renting is so cheap especially high end ocean front. I would recommend renting so if you don’t like something you can move. Also many places will have problems and you’re stuck with property that has an issue. But you can rent month to month as one year leases aren’t the standard in Ecuador, only foreigners take them. And then take the money you are saving and just invest it. A lot of expats make the mistake of coming and buying a place only to realize they’d prefer a different city or even country and have to wait for another American.
Encebollado has a special place in my heart
When it’s done right it’s my favourite breakfast in the world.
El picante de pescado puede ser hecho con yuca o papa, justamente antes de ver el video comí ese plato. Ese plato y muchos otros platos más como el sango de verde, sango de choclo, caldo de torrejas, sopa de habas, sopa de lentejas, sopa de menestrone (estilo ecuatoriano) menestra de verde, sopa de queso o de huevo, sopa de acelgas, caldo de cebada, las cremas de zapallo, tomate, brócoli, zanahoria, de espinaca, chupe de pescado, la chucula, torta de maduro, colonche greñoso ,los diferentes tipos de caldo de sancocho, timbushka, aguado de pollo, menudo, colada de haba, crema de alverja, caldo de pata, sopa de costilla, caldo de 31,sopa de calavera, caldo de lluspas y la infinidad de caldos y sopas siguen, somos muy muy soperos y son platos muy caseros es decir que son platos que por lo general solo lo encuentras en las casas y no en restaurantes tipicos a menos que sea algún almuerzo de 2,50 y salga algún caldo de esos con el segundo. En el Ecuador si se cultivan manzanas, en la región sierra y seis tipos se cultivan, las únicas que traen de exportación son las típicas rojas grandes brillantes y las verdes grandes, pero acá las más típicas son las amarillas y las que son roja y verde pequeñas y rojas amarillas pequeña . Como siempre buen video y gracias por darnos a conocer
como siempre me encanta que me des una lista de que encontrar la próxima vez!
I was born in Ecuador but I never ate neither encebollado, picante de pescado or shrimp pasta. Thank you for sharing. Your video quality and content is great. One of my favorite dishes was chaulafan. I never had after a Chinese fried rice like the one in Ecuador. Maybe a close second is the arroz chaufa from Peru. Maybe you can show us in the next video you eating Ecuadorian fried rice chaulafan. Greetings from California.
You will see chaulafan in an upcoming videos, where were you born in Ecuador?
Encebollado looks fantastic!. I will keep in mind. Restaurant Pajarito. Thank you for share.
It's so good!
@@ayngelina Restaurant Pajarito, can not forget the name, I live in Cuenca in street named Pajara pinta
It's funny, there were a lot of things in Olon named Parajito which is why I wanted to share it's in front of the grocery store or people may be confused on Google maps.
Looks like a nice area
It's really quite lovely.
Nice Video, btw apples do grow in Ecuador. They only grow them in the highlands I believe.
You are right! A couple weeks after this I saw them growing!
Today I'll try to do my Steely Dan impersonation as I appear to be like # "Hey 19".
We only spent a day in Olon and I wish we’d stayed longer. We’ll definitely be going back.
I can see why, it's such a lovely place.
Considering visiting for a month . Curious what the weather is like January, February and March. When is the best weather? Live in Virginia, so I am accustomed to heat/humidity. Would like to escape winter here.
Best time to visit is Jan until May we have been here a little over a year. We are in our winter months. Drizzly and raining
'The coast is spicier (takes a bite) it's spicier.' 😊
Oh and I LOVE your dress! Beautiful and you look lovely in it.
@@bela-sofia34 thank you! It takes up a bit more room in my bag but I think it's worth it
Yes it is!!!
Claro que si 👍
👍👍👍
Absolute great video, i am planning to go for a month in June, is the weather really bad then? If anyone can advise thanks
July and August are the coldest months but that is relative. What city do you want to go to?
6:25 ohhh Is because the fetuccini Is italian. But if u search italian restaurants in Salinas the flavor Is the same. But great recomendation because the especiality un this área Is ceviche de concha
I'm not a huge fan of conch but I'll give it a shot on my next trip to Olon
il migliore 👍🏼
Grazie mille!
No prices near worrhless,nice pictures
What would you like prices of?
me encanta Olon 🖐️🙏🇪🇨
Si esta hermosa!
Olon es una playa hermosa
Tienes razón
15:37 ohh now The apple Is produced in Ambato 🇪🇨
The funny thing is since I made that comment I saw apple trees everywhere!
For real?? You never ate picante de atún ? 🍚 🥗 it’s gooood !!! I like it with a good quality can tuna 👌👌 and rice yummy
So good but I've never seen it anywhere on the coast.
@@ayngelina really? Its a traditional food in Guayaquil donde venden “almuerzos” esos que son baratos a 3 dólares saben poner de segundo arroz con picante de atún 👌 but there are only in those places that sell “ALMUERZOs” I think 💭 you cannot find picante de atún in the menu at normal restaurants …
You know I love almuerzos, and still I have not seen it!
@@ayngelina 😲😅Okok but now you know it’s yummy 🤤👌and it’s easy to do it at home.. well 😅for me 😰it is difficult to make the onion “curtido” not turn out bitter🥴😅 so my mom have to do it for me 😅
Can you send me her recipe?
Pasta is not meant to be eaten this way. An Italian would have a neurotic episode if that was presented to him.
Oh I know !
@@ayngelina also needs more shrimp!!
Exactly Amnrose.....but Italy is Italy - I lived there for a contract job and, was out every single day - for lunch and, often for dinner ..
Think it's good I didn't, stay as I would have gained too much weight. Italian food is perfect 😊👍
you're right it is very delicious
Some Information are a bit wrong. Apples grow up in Ecuador, of course!
You are right! Immediately after I shot this video I saw apple trees!
Although I think every time I've asked about apples in the market they've been from Chile, which is not surprising as they are a major exporter. I still haven't seen any local ones in the market but you're right they do grow here.
The Spanish subtitles appear to have vanished.
All the translations did, thank you for letting me know it's fixed now.
Olon Is more interesting than montañita because Is a familiar beach. Montañita the party Is all days!
This is true
what do we do if we dont like this video and we disagree with him then what
Then you do what you just did, leave s comment stating it 😊
Looks nice! I'll be 62 in 2024, if the fascists take over the US I'll pull all my 401k money and savings and go live there. My WI fishing buddy usually spends the winter there, or did before the pandemic.
Oh I hope it doesn't come to that in 2024!
Picante de pescado que no pica. Sounds like seco de pollo, which is a soggy dish. Lol
Seco de pollo is chicken braised in a sauce so it’s a bit different than this preparation
@@ayngelina i meant the contradiction between the name and the actual dish. The "picante" that isn't hot, and the "seco" that isn't dry.
Oh yes you’re right! Jjj it keeps things interesting for sure. I know why they call it seco but picante perplexes me
I appreciate the great info but i do not like watching you eat!
Can you show the food without putting it in your mouth?
Then my channel is not for you as it’s about culinary travel. But thanks for taking the time to leave a negative comment 🤷🏻♀️
You talk too much about food. Hhmmmm
My channel is about food around the world and helping travelers understand comida típica so they can support local businesses. If that’s not something you support then my videos are not right for you.
