      @user-cr8nz5su1u Před 8 měsíci +34

      I agree with James Potts. I’m a HUGE fan of bay leaves, but I too have tested them. Sometimes more isn’t better, and too many bay leaves can throw off the dish. I draw my line at two. I do notice the fresher the better, but don’t notice a huge difference between fresh versus dried as long as they are still fresh. I like toasting them a bit in oil to release the oils. - MJ

      @rulitossimplyrulitos1088 Před 8 měsíci +10

      Something I seemed to noticed is that the normals use fresh bay leaves, whereas Budgie (and me) use dried. Would that be a main difference? Never have the chance to use fresh leaves, but I use regularly the dried to add that little something to the pasta while is boiling, or to the beans, also while they are boiling.

      if you eat Filipino food, you will never grow old. because you will die young due to the high cholesterol and saturated fats content of some dishes. but the healthiness of our food depends on the region, Ilocano foods consists mainly of fresh vegetables and less meat. visayans have their own healthy foods too. the Tagalogs are the ones who use much of the oil in their cooking to make the dishes flavorful though they can substitute canola oil to make it healthier. all in all, Filipino food must be eaten in moderation. :)

    My daughter in law is Filipino and she has shared her cuisine with us and it's wonderful! The best soy sauce I've ever had is the Filipino brand Silver Swan. You must try Sinigang ( I had never thought to cook radishes) it's amazing! I took some to our big family Christmas dinner (soups and sandwiches theme last year) and it was a big hit even if one of my cousins thought that the name was Singapore soup.😂😂 I can't wait to try more Filipino food when I visit next month. Also, ask Budgie about a Boodle fight 😉

Even some desserts are quite similar like leche plan. When I visited Puerto Vallarta, i was very surpised that they also make a coconut drink called "Tuba" which is a traditional drink in my regioin.

    This video is amazing because there's an actual build up on the fundamentals of Filipino cuisine that most cooking shows miss when they try out recipes.
    Chicken Inasal is usually a step up to explain compared to Adobo. But by laying in step by step the calamansi, the atsuete, concept of sawsawan. That's a genuine introduction of the flavors of the Philippines.
    Then to top it all off, having folks try ube halaya first, before applying its flavor in ice cream form on genuine halo-halo. Dude i cant express how great this video is.

    When my sister suggested I try bay lead my soup was suddenly transformed. It elevated the other seasonings and made for the best soup I’d ever had - and just like my mother’s, and she always used bay leaf.

    I was happy to guess right with the Calamansi, and super happy to see Chicken Inasal, Halo Halo, and so many great dishes packed with flavor from the Philippines!
    When Budgie mentioned inasal I was stoked, because one of my favorite episodes with another great chef with Filipino backgrounds, was seeing Uncle Harold doing some banging Inasal chicken and macaroni salad on Bon Appetit.

    Love the excitement and joy with everyone and Budgie bringing in some great cultural staples! Hope to see even more of different cuisines on the channel!

    I LOVE that you chose Inasal! So many people go for the cliche ones (adobo, lumpia) when we have so much more to offer. I actually wanna see the boys try some Sinigang! Mayhaps in a Taste Testing Global Soup video with other international soups? It would be interesting!
    Also! For the chapters and time codes, it's Sawsawan not Salsawa :))) I don't even think the second one is a word hahaha 'sawsawan' from the root tagalog word sawsaw (pronounced sa-o-sa-o) which means 'dip'. That particular one is a popular one for Lechon Kawali (fried pork belly) and generally grilled meats/filipino barbeques. If you don't have Coconut Vinegar, a good and cheap substitute is brown sugar and normal vinegar.
