- "Nilagang Baka" is a Filipino dish that translates to "Boiled Beef" in English. It's a simple and hearty soup made with beef, potatoes, corn on the cob, green beans, and sometimes plantains, all boiled together in a clear broth. It's a popular comfort food in the Philippines and is known for its mild and savory flavor. The dish is typically seasoned with fish sauce or salt and is often served with rice and dipping sauces like fish sauce with calamansi (a type of citrus fruit) and crushed red pepper.
We have Nilaga once a week. We use pork instead of beef and the bananas make it sweeter than I would ideally like so my wife will substitute potato which I love every now and then.
It’s really tasty. I’m a fan
Hello cool couple! Have a fun trip! Save Travels! See you guys in February in Cebu for lunch.....LET'S GOOOOO CHRIS & JHO!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. Good time:)
Nice video Chris an jho. Jho don't know which is more difficult teaching Chris the language or ukulele lol you guy's are Great ❤
So true! Lol
Hey Chris & Jho! You had me at the banana pancakes. That's all I could think about for the rest of the video. I'm going there this weekend to get me some!
They’re pretty tasty :-)
Banana Saba adds flavor to the dish and it is very good for variety of deserts as well.
I’m a big fan. It was really tasty and the first time I’ve ever had it.
Pancake house in Ayala is our favorite too and go to breakfast restaurant everytime we are near Ayala while on vacation. It's equivalent to IHop here in America.
Yeah, we really like it a lot too. It’s pretty good.
Heaven on earth! The grocery store looks really nice too
It really is!
Fantastic !!!
Many thanks!!
Merry Christmas to you guys 😂😂😂 I actually purchased two new blankets today. Good old Sam’s putting things in the door way. I was cooking all day first thing off my pressure cooker quit on me!
You too!!
@@CarefreeChris ha ha ha
Nice to see you two happy and go along well with each other. Best of luck!
Thank you! You too!
You are such an inspiration to me and i really like how you treat your partner. I wanna be that good with my wife not that i treat her bad but wanna be extra optimistic with her.
Thank you brother. Hope it all works out for you too:)
More cooking with Jo, love that Lauya. Take care guys
Yes. To fun:)
Your gf is very pretty. You are actually a good match. Same nice smile, smiley eyes, she sounds smart, you look perfect together!
At one point.
Jo's version is completely different from tagalog version of nilagang baka ( boiled beef). The only ingredients you can see are the ff; beef shanks or whatever cut you like. Boil it with garlic, onions and peppercorn until beef is tender, then you can add potatoes and cabbage ( these are your only main ingredients). Flavor with patis or salt. Optional are green beans, banana (saba). We don't put ginger, but some people do to get rid of smell, and no chili (only on the side with patis and calamansi. Hope to see you cook it soon.
Very interesting. Yeah, it was pretty good. I really enjoyed it.
I am tagalog, from BATAAN, I also put ginger on my nilaga. I also put saging na saba, corn and potatoes and cabbage and pechay too.
Happy to see you guys enjoying life with simple things 😁
Yes we are
Hope you’re great there too :-)
I shopped at Walter Mart and the local wet market. I had a house manager/keeper and she made delish Nilaga! 😋
Durian! 😂 Yeah, it stinks but ih it's so good!
Also, back when I had my business, most of the food in Pinas was still "organic". That word was still not popular a few years ago but I'm not sure about now.
I hope GMO hasn't reached the Philippines. People uses to wonder why vegetables such as onions and tomatoes are much smaller in the Philippines. It's because that is the natural size . It hasn't been generically modified. I pray it doesn't.
The nilaga looks yummy! 😋
It’s tasty. I’m a fan:)
Great video Chris. Next time Jho has to make you do all the work hehehe, the food looks delicious, its making me salivate. On a side note, great to see you are a Def Leppard fan buddy.
Next time!:)
Great video, brother! At 6:30 it was great to see a little "Engrish" on the Durian sign. It says "Prevents anti-aging" so I guess it makes you age faster?! Must be the smell! 🤘🤣
Lol right:)
I got a crazy feeling these two are going to end up married. Great couple an vids.
Fingers crossed! Lol
I would use potatoes instead of bananas. The video quality got really bad when you two started eating the dish. Wonder what happened to the camera. The dish looks good and just enough for two people. Really enjoy your videos. Jo seems to be a great companion to you. Best wishes moving forward. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much. Appreciate you watching and commenting
hells yeah! digging the shirt, Def Leppard 80's hair band! let's go! thought you were suppose to be cooking the dish? looks delish, well done chef. Peace!
Yeah. I figured if I was standing there in front of the camera and you guys couldn’t see Jo that wouldn’t work either :-)
Looks good. Great job Jho and Chris
Thanks 👍
Yum
The soups are one of my surprises. I’m a big fan.
Nilaga best soup or sinigang!👍🇵🇭🇧🇭
I'm a fan of the soups here. Really tasty
Nice guys, looks delicious foods, masarap hey 😋
Im looking forward to having beef balalou when i arrive in Bacolod, first lunch.
Hope you guys are doings well, stay safe Chris & Jo.
So good!
My favorite breakfast is the same as your wife. I made sure that I had it if it was available. Eggs with Tapsilog, yes!
She such a nice girl. See, I never get sick of Filipino culture things. In the US, a lot of our entertainment is culturally oriented in some way. I would say it contributes at least 30-50% to the quality of life so that when you think about not having that, for sure you would miss it.
Better watch out because you’ll get addicted, but in a good way.
So good! :)
Hello there lovebirds‼️i knew you too would be a great pair💕keep it going guys 😊
Thank you 🤗
Good job Jo! Now I know how to cook it
It’s really tasty too:)
Love love fresh ginger root in a soup! We all know it is one of the healthiest spice around. "Broth cubes" however, are laden with "msg", salt and other unhealthy ingredients (a big NO in our household/kitchen). That soup looks good Jo.
Thanks for the tips! I’m a noob but I’ll let Jo know
Nice one jho..😊 so yummy..a filipino food..
So good
You have a very pretty filipina girl
Yes. She’s beautiful, intelligent and hilarious:)
love the leppard shirt!!!!
Yes!:)
good to see you two enjoying "cooking with Jho" that soup looks good. was amazed on how much milk was in the store . I like cereal for breakfast, and maybe a pancake with bananas once in a while, so that restaurant you're at is right up my alley. maybe I need to go buy a milk cow for my breakfast, and for hot chocolate at night, yum🐮🐮I'll be living close by in feb. wish I was there now, but with the holidays there, gonna have to wait till after jan.
There are milk alternatives, like powdered or boxed
Pancake house pancakes are really good…that’s one of my favorite chains in the Philippines
Yes. I’m a big fan too:-)
I love durian! ❤
I’ll try it in mindanao
From living in the south for most of my life I have to admit the heat is not bad in Cebu but you will sweat a lot! LOL
It’s not cold that’s for sure 🤪
Good morning from Davao guys! 😊
Morning!
Good day, sir.
S&R and Landers both offer a wider selection of goods, especially if you're looking for some higher quality food. 😊
Thanks for the info. Being on foot mostly in town metro is just super convenient
Chewbaka cuz you could be chewing the baka (beef) for a bit due to toughness😁. Actually, "nilagang baka" is a Tagalog term. In Cebuano / Bisaya, it's called "pochero" or "pocherong binisaya" that traditionally uses beef shanks which is the best part due to the delicious and nutritious bone marrow. I think adding commercial beef broth ruins the experience of enjoying the natural flavor of the fresh beef and the rest of the fresh natural ingredients, not to mention that the broth most likely has other undesirable ingredients in it like MSG, etc. But that's just me. Saba bananas are for cooking; used in bananacue which is a popular street food. I avoid soups or the like (coffee, shakes, anything served with their ice, etc.) at commercial establishments AMAP because they use tap water. If I crave for soup, I make it at home with distilled water that I produce myself at home also and not with the commercial ones in plastic containers that could have been sitting in storage in hot temperatures (under the sun) for months on end. But that's just me. BTW, what is "bermans" at 0:09 ?
It wasn’t to bad. Tasty. As far as “ber” months it’s a saying there which is referring to the months that end with “ber”. September - December.
Whenever you're in Ayala Center Mall, you can also try the Rustan's grocery store, as an alternative to Metro's grocery store.
Yes. Absolutely. We shop both buy mostly Metro
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
:)
4:40 Nobody drinks or use pasteurized cows milk there, as much as the cereal-obsessed American kids. Typical breakfast for Filipino kids consist of rice, eggs and the red hotdog 😋and other meat dishes with fruit juice or powdered chocolate drink.
Yes. Eggs and rice for breakfast. It’s my fav now too
14:00 Damn Chris, looks like you shed some pounds. Great work brother 💪
I’m getting there. It’s been a little bit of a roller coaster but over the past month I’ve been back on track so getting there.
Okay 🎅🏻🎅🏻🎅🏻
:)
Chris, I watch a vlog of a couple in Manila at a store called S&R. They made a comment about how much more dairy options S&R has compared to other stores, it almost reminded me of a Costco. It appears there's a location in Cebu, do you know if the dairy section is sizable there?
I do know there’s another store called Landers that’s nearby that has a huge selection also but since I don’t have a car a lot of it is just what’s convenient.
Pancake House! We have one of them in my citah. My fav go-to place to pancakes. Do they have giant apple pancakes? It's basically an apple pie but a pancake!! 😋 If they do..order one and show us (well me rly) you won't be disappointed. Hopefully. Who knows what a Philly apple pancake may taste like 🤣
I don’t think they do as apples are pretty hard to come by. They definitely have banana walnut ones :-)
@@CarefreeChris ya i saw the menu after I posted. How disappointing. Oh well. I'm sure there's some other pancake 🥞 I can lechon out on! Get it? 😁😂
Tomorrow I will be cooking my famous Pinto beans. They are soaking!
Sounds yummy :-)
Mornin joe n jo
Morning gamer, you playing the new Starfield game at all?
@@CarefreeChris not yet, im stepping away from video games for now. I found a new hobby to sink my time and money into. Aquascaping
Nice. Sounds interesting. I’ll have to look into that
🤣
:)
Your girl has Raisin triple AAA cup,
Let the pokers poke
Don’t know if she would know of a regular banana. 😂😅😂
It’s actually a little bit different kind of banana
It's best to season or brine any meat the day before, so that the salt can tenderize the meat and denature the proteins that would render it dry.
Makes sense. Thank you
Good thing I don’t drink milk and don’t use it often in cooking. I do use sweet cream in my coffee!
Great tip!
Have you noticed that customers leave their grocery carts at the cash registers and not return them where they got them?
Yes. I have noticed that.
No worries the Milk in US is "crap" brother. "D" low fat, no fat, whole milk etc. all not healthy. I am diabetic I buy no milk here. I have a house in Lapu Lapu, I like Cebu CIty but too busy the problem is that they run out of some products but their wine offer is quite good.
Yeah, I was never a big milk guy in the US either. Powdered milk has worked fine for me with my oatmeal. Hope all is great out there in Lapu-Lapu. :-)
Nilaga means boiled... Baka means beef... and the banana additive is probably her version...
Ah nice. Thank you
Hey Guys. Jo is your name Jo or Joanne?
It’s Joane but goes by Jo. Either really
$5:00 a quart.
Its lami:)
More than 50% of Filipinos (and most Asians) are lactose intolerant. That explains the lack of milk products in the grocery store 😅
Yes. I'm learning this as well
The store looks amazing, i am putting my retirement plan off for 5 years in the PH, i had met a Filipina who was introduce to me by an agent in Cebu she as been feeding me fake pictures or how can i say filtered pictures, and when i saw her real pictures she did not look like what she sent me. She then said that she was not interested in meeting me that she was chasing her dreams and need to feed her kids. I am sorry i don't want to offend anyone but i have a hard time believing that filipina are so amazing, everyone of them i met online where deceiving to me. I refuse to be an ATM or at least being led to believe in a lie.
Also some part of Cebu are really poor, and look really bad out of shape, i guess i will in 5 years how things are. No more meeting any filipina online even the ones you are introduce to can't be trusted
Coming here for getting to know a girl and speeding it up by internet meetings/chats is the usual shortcut wannabe expats take, but not the best of options for success. Much better and more promising is coming here to learn about the country and its people first before anything else.
Once this is accomplished to a certain degree, then it is good to focus on getting to know more people, including ladies with the perspective of a relationship.
Decent Filipinas cannot be taken in a couple of seconds or by a phoney live-chat. Those you can, are not decent. Bragging to be "rich" only attracts those type of girls, which need a walking ATM. I am not surprised you got this response.
Parts of Cebu look poor? Yes, there are parts, which do look poor. Is this typical for Cebu or PH? Are there no parts in Canada, which also look poor? If it is all good there, isn't it better you stay where you are?
Yeah. Just waiting until you get here brother. LDR is not the way to go.
@@1100_Rebels no Canada is not safe anymore we have flying dragons now..... scary. I don't tell my finance to anyone and i don't brag, yeah i got some stach and yeah i will have more but this is for my retirement. Its true that meeting face to face is best at least they can't lie. But like anywhere else i met gold digger here in Canada and i did not waste time getting rid of them. Worse comes to worse i will remain single.
I spoke to many and some expat say that Filipina don't come to see them so who knows.
@@CarefreeChris i will try to visit Cebu in the next 5 years apparently lots will change during this time i will also be closer to retirement. I rather go hiking visit some places etc and yeah if i still feel the need to meet someone do it face to face, i am sorry for my outburst but it was very deceiving when i found out she was feeding me filtered picture
Dairy products are hard to find in the Philippines. When we visited in 2018 and my son wanted to drink some milk, all we found was some weird French imported brand. When my son tasted it, he couldn't finish the cup. He said it tasted like cardboard soaked in it prior to bottling. lol
I tasted it and it tasted like almond milk. 🤢🤮
As soon as we got back to the states, he drank a pint in one sitting.
Yeah. Fortunately, I’m not a big milk guy, but it can be a challenge here for sure.
I usually speak to the Filipina Pea 🫛 daily have not heard from her in over 24 hours so getting worried!
Yeah I hope she’s OK. I’m sure she’s just fine.
