Have you tried rice in a sweet dish?? 🍚
We make that all the time!
@@meluha0507 nope
In india we eat a sweet rice desert made from milk, rice, spices, and sugar. We eat it during festivals it's called kheer(paysam in South India) and it's really tasty
Yes in payasam but I don't like milk so I don't like the dish much either
Yes, and it tastes really good! If you haven’t tried sweet rice, definitely try it!
Don’t worry Jenealle. There will always be people like that. It’s simply called “Variation” to all the people who will say it’s not traditional. Not everything has to be traditional. You can add some difference too!
Ikr? Like I get if it was someone from another culture who was changing things up to a degree, but its literally her background so what's the problem. And well... as she said, all ingredients may not be available since we're in another country.
Filipino food is literally the poster child of having a dish with thousand of variations. Like sisig has like 5 different variations and like a thousand different styles. You can still mess up some dishes if you don't have a flavor component like a sour ingredient in sinigang or a acidic salty ingredient in adobo.
One of the reasons tradition is a terrible reason to never change something is because tradition is regional. I saw a girl who was Vietnamese say these eggrolls aren't Vietnamese they're good but not Vietnamese. Because they had corn in them. Corn is a variation used in fillings in central Vietnam in rural regions. Your tradition is not everywhere.

"You're ruining Filipino food" lmao imagine saying to someone born and raised in the Philippines tho like-
Ikr?
@@tamari1127 LIKE JEANELLE MAKES IT VERY CLEAR THAT SHE IS FILIPINO AND THEN SOMEONE TELLS HER THAT- BRO WHAT
@@MoonieTheMenace Ikr? So annoying.
Saw someone say to an african lady that she wasnt black while on tiktok because she was selling waiste beads.
@@thistleserbel2214 Tf???
I feel like.. in ESPECIALLY Asia, there is no right or wrong way to produce most dishes? Every house I visited as a kid always had their own versions of Korean homefoods, but still had its ties to the nation in there. Cucumber kimchi? Superior I'll say it -- but my grandfather would smack me cause it isn't his usual preferred ingredient etc. But we both are gonna enjoy it - it's a staple food!
Same with Italians and cheese on pizza Vs without. Yes, without is TRADITIONAL, but not a necessity to make it pizza.
Just.. enjoy it! It's food! It's made for consumption and life is too short to not eat what you enjoy - who cares, it's not like they have to chew the food for us!
I agree, also hi kaeya pfp i see u
@@cwisp5343 damn ,nice meeting genshin fans here
@@jellytommy4726 fr, hope ur doing well and get all the characters u want cutie. Have a nice day💜
@@cwisp5343 awww thank you!! Hope you're gonna get good luck on your pulls, have a nice day too 💖💖
Just because it’s cucumber and chili and whatnot doesn’t make it “cucumber kimchi” that’s also a dish. In chinese it’s called “pai huang gua” basically means “slapped cucumber” because it’s not sliced, its kind of banged and crushed into broken pieces.
I bet the people saying that Jeanelle “ruined” the Filipino dishes just by simply changing the recipe a little bit aren’t even from The Philippines.
Exactly
Yeah, huge white people energy lmao
they prolly can barely boil water too
True lmaooo
No, let's not pretend that some Filipinos are never critical towards Filipino Americans. I say this as a Filipina.
I’ve been really struggling lately with the fact that a LOT of Italians and Italian Americans are food snobs and gatekeepers when it comes to Italian food. I grew up in an Italian household here in America and my Sicilian grandfather never had an issue doing things like putting cheese on a seafood pasta dish, or breaking the spaghetti if the pot he was had to use was too small. But people in these communities get seriously furious when we “Break the rules of Italian food”. I grew up being taught, if it taste good, you did it right. That it was okay to cook your food however you want. Just because you tweak or change one or two things doesn’t mean you’ve ruined the dish or are disrespecting the food or culture. I say, do you... enjoy yourself. Mind your business and let the gatekeeping loud mouths rant and rave while you enjoy your food!
Preach
Yeah but there’s a difference because people of all races and ethnicities own pizza/italian food shops in the US and do crazy shit with pizza, making dessert pizzas, pretentious pizzas, etc. and it’s pretty much accepted. Which is fine, tbh. But there’s a weird double standard and the same cannot be said for most other cultures’ foods. If most people see someone that’s white making Jamaican or Korean food it is shot down so fast and they’re accused of “stealing” or “ruining” culture
@@hocky-ham324-zg8zc I get what you're saying Sir, I noticed as a child that only Asians work and cook in Asian restaurants and so forth. My dad told me that's the way it is, it's their food so 'they' cook it. 🤷🏽♀️
Mad facts
Remind them that Italian American food came from the fact that Italian immigrants came from their home country, where only the higher class people could afford things like pasta and cheese so when they came to America they went a little crazy with their dishes because they could afford to. Italian American style food was born from poverty experiencing the life of what they considered the rich in Italy. They can celebrate their joy with whatever recipe they can come up with.
Every single recipe started of as something brand new. Those who say "You're doing it wrong" or "You're ruining it", those are the ones who are actually ruining gastronomy and the fun in cooking. We would have never had so many new dishes nowadays if people weren't allowed to get creative. So keep doing what makes you happy :)
Yeah! I like watching *How To Cook That* too (also on CZcams) because she makes recipes over 100 years old! You can really see how much cooking has changed. Some of it is a relief that things aren't done that way anymore, and some of it is good!
People putting their own twist to things is what makes life fun. If everyone did everything exactly the same, all the time, we would never have anything new.
Ruining
@@Skallywag_ahh Fixed, thanks 😂
if we all stayed traditional we would still be hunter gatherers
Yeah go off!!✨
Keep on enjoying what you do! Filipino cuisine is pretty forgiving and creative. I think at the core, filipino cooking is all about having fun and being creative with basic(and available) ingredients.. That's why we have multiple versions of sisig and adobo right?! 😉
Filipino food is very diverse and accepting to any form of modifications that's why each family has their own preparations for it, Let the kids cry and have fun with how you prepare your food and enjoy it
In Filipino cuisine, there's no such thing as original. Each household has it's own versions of "original" or "authentic" recipe of this and that. So have fun cooking or eating. As long as it tastes good and close to our Filipino heart, there's nothing to worry about. ☺️
as I always say: "Every Filipino mom's adobo is different, and yet they're all tasty"
@@MoonieTheMenace exactly! I myself is still learning to cook the perfect adobo. It's quite a shame when I tell my friends that I find simple Filipino dishes (eg. Lugaw/arroz caldo and adobo) hard or challenging to cook. 😅 I envy my mom for not using measuring tools when cooking our daily "ulam" (viands) and everything went just fine magically. Her adobo is something I want to learn and make my own version with some tweaks.
In any culture really
There are some exceptions to that such as sisig because it's recorded who came up with the dish, and today there are many variations of it made by other people
@@MoonieTheMenace Awh this is so cute & made me smile 😊
It’s ridiculous because anytime you have people move to a different region, it’s going to mean a difference in the recipes. You adapt to what’s available to you in terms of ingredients. “Oh that fruit doesn’t grow in this country, let me find something similar”
Yep. And even if you're in the same culture, you're probably going to make substitutions from time to time based on what you have on hand. How many times have you decided to make a recipe and thought "oh, I'm out of X and wasn't planning on going to the store. Eh, I'll just use Y instead"? It's silly to think other cultures don't do that too.
That is basically how spaghetti and meatballs or how new york pizza started
Real Filipinas like us know every dish has a a different way of being made depending on the family but that’s the fun of it and the cookouts never miss! 🇵🇭💞
Filipinos judge so much when we literally eat sweet spaghetti with hotdogs 😭
Bro I'm a Filipino that eats spaghetti and I don't judge when there's hotdogs in it.
If there is something that's very consistent with Filipino cuisine, it's that it has a VERY generous creative boundary and a general sense of inclusivity. As a country defined by topography, fluctuating historical prosperity, and cultural diversity, there will never be a fully standard way to make a dish, any dish.
Now there will always be a defining trait (like how adobo MUST have vinegar) - but this doesn't constrain the recipe to the same list of ingredients in order to satisfy some hard rule.
The people themselves would have regional and domestic preferences for what each one is but these dishes are never defined as the one and only way to make something.
We respect, by a long shot, regional availability and personal constraints more than exclusivity.
So you do you, Jeanelle. Eat that suman with chocolate syrup if you wish - at the end of the day it's still suman. 😋
I mean Adobo do have Variants but the Original was only Vinigar but nowaday some add Coconutmilk, Pineapple, some Parshley or others other types of meat. If the dish have no Vinegar then you are either making Beef Stew(Soy Sause,Tomatoes and Celery and the Meat is Beef) well there are Variations as well but when it comes to Chicken you don't use its actual meat just the Intestines and Hard Boiled Eggs.
@@ShadowCloak13 Hence why I said "adobo MUST have vinegar".
Oh yeah! Chocolate syrup would go well with that! Like champorado!!!
@@darwinb718 yup the Hersheys Syrup is Nice with Suman. Plus the only Right way to Eat it is not Throwing it in the Thrash. As long as the Leaves are the only ones Left
"I just wanna eat it." Well said
Sometimes subbing certain ingredients can make the dish a lot healthier than it actually is, especially with Filipino food. Good job.
I once heard a Filipino cook say in an interview: "I'm from the Filipines. I make food. Therefore i make Filipino food."
I like the thought that food and traditions in general aren't fixated but a flexible constantly evolving concept, depending on the people that bring culture to life.
Just a quick correction, it's "Filipino".
No clue where people get the term "Philippino".
@@ReiAkaris oh ty, I'll change it :) in my native language it's written like that, guess i mixed it up with english
logically speaking, just because a person is from a certain place doesn't mean they make that place's food. is a sweet spaghetti a filipino food? no, it's italian dish that filipinos tweaked to suit their taste. the same goes for arroz caldo and paella, which are both spanish, pinoys have the philippine version of it.
@@-...................- i totally get where you're coming from! But logically speaking, if it's an italian dish with a Filipino tweak - is it really still italian or did it just originate on italy?
@@marias1609 it is an italian dish. i.e, sweet spaghetti, it's a filipino version of italian spaghetti. that's why in the PH, most food packaging have this 'filipino style' or 'pinoy version' label written next to it.
I’ve learned not to listen to people when it comes to food when someone went off on me for putting mayo with my rice and seaweed saying it “wasn’t Japanese”. First off: I’m Korean, second: Japan loves mayo. They literally have their own kind of mayo (which is what I use 😐). As long as it’s not a health concern, there is no rules to making food for yourself.
Mayo and rice is the ultimate combo. My partner thought I was weird for eating it but then he started putting mayo on his rice too after a while ;) the best is when the rice is still warm and the mayo melts into it a bit
@@lily5952 I agree with this combo even though I rarely ever eat it.
I agree, you make your own rules when making food only for yourself. Your the one eating it after all, not them.
@@lily5952 Same, but I personally use mayo with chicken bits or ham bits or flavored mayo if I'm gonna mix it with rice.
Broooo, kewpie actually made me *like* mayo it's wild😆
Thought it was zongzi at first. Love that now I want to try this. Thank you for posting this video 🙂
Suman:i am the best sweet filipino rice dish
Champorado and bico: think again.
The biggest thing is that its what you eat as a Filipino person. You are also in the US with access to other flavor profiles. A Filipino in Sweden is also going to be changing their recipes to what they have access to. Food fusions even happen without anyone knowing. That's what is so great about food.
Exactly. My mom sometimes uses angel hair pasta to make stir fried noodle dishes. Is it traditional? No. Is it delicious? Yes.
‘Food crimes’ don’t exist. They’re just a way for snobs to gatekeep food.
1. Not all ingredients are available everywhere. Substitution is practicality, not offense.
2. We make food to have nourishment and energy. It's a physical need. Anything next to that is either subjective appreciation of a culture, for gatherings and socialising, or even personal enjoyment.
3. Just eat. People have to remember that at the end of the day, it's just food. No need to harangue people for something so simple.
Food is all about CREATIVITY
OMG, we here in Indonesia have the same exact food! It’s called “Lupis”, sticky rice cake with palm/coconut syrup too! 😱
Usually lupis were wrap with banana leaves in a log tube, or in a triangular shape, try to eat it with shredded coconut, it’ll click the taste too. 😁
In Vietnam we have the same kind of food but instead of coconut we use bananas for sweet fillings and pork for salty fillings. It calls "Bánh chưng".
I hate "purist" or "traditionalist" because they want food to be static static when ?, Whenever they grew up, food change with new things and what we have, teh biggest culprits are the Italians, if it isn't made like how it was in "the olden days" it's no good, Italians loathe the pineapple on pizza, but any and all arguments against it can also be made of the tomato, so I'll start listening to them when they ditch the tomato
Because it’s obviously better done the traditional way. Plus it’s not true that the same argument can be made for tomatoes just because they are also fruits. Tomatoes are locally sourced in italy and directly relate to the typical ingredients of italy (and also the flag of italy with the red/white/green combo), pineapple isn’t even remotely close to Italy. Just because something becomes globalised, like pizza, that doesn’t make less relevant to it’s roots. Italian culture is strongly based on the ideas of unity, family and traditions. These attributes are heavily represented in everyday life via behaviours, social construct, religion and especially food; everything evolves around food. If you want to turn around and be ignorant on as to why we Italians are like this, that’s fine. But don’t forget that’s the food of our people and our culture, we are allowed to complain as much as we like so suck it up buttercup.
@@kollamiller576 cry
@@kollamiller576 before 1492 the old world had no tomatoes, why the fuck did you change the recipe from your 11th great grandparents then, why don't you go full traditional and make your 11th great grandparents happy by ditching the tomato
@@kollamiller576 just cry it out, no one will comfort you
@dhava Pizza was invented in 1889 in Naples for Queen Margherita, no one changed the recipe to include tomatoes dumb fxck they were originally there. And mind you this is directly related because Margherita is actually the official name of the classic pizza. But I guess you obviously don't know that🙄
What I love about filipino food is that a single dish varies per location. I remember my lolo calling adobo(cooked with soy sauce) lutong toyo because adobo for him is only cooked using salt and vinegar. Some like their sisig with mayo while others are strictly against the idea. Anyway I am happy to find your channel, I am motivated to enhance my baking and cooking skills. 💗
Love adobong puti!!!
Still there are toxic Pinoy that will say, "You can't call that adobo without soy sauce and etc"
"You're eating halo-halo the wrong way"
"Pancit should be squeezed with calamansi not lemon, you ruining it"
And many more toxic Filipino attitude.
I grew up eating this as a kid.. my parents are from Thailand and I believe eat a lot of the same foods ❤️
The most fun part of cooking to me is finding something new that tastes good when being creative with recipes. You keep doing you!
THIS REMINDS ME OF A TAMALE THAT MY GREAT AUNT ALWAYS MAKES FOR ME ON BIRTHDAYS/CHRISTMAS. It’s sooo good, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. It’s also wrapped in a banana leaf, and has many vegetables inside of it. It’s called Tamale Veracruzano, if you know any chefs from Mexico I really recommend it.
Ikr same we usually make tamales every Christmas
Or pozole
how interesting that the philippines also has a tamales variant made of rice instead of masa!! from its long history of trading with mexico. where i’m from they’re usually filled with a noodle dish called bihon 😋
@@laoyue5924 sounds delicious
Hell yeah
Hey Jeanelle! In Cambodian cuisine, we have a similar sticky rice dessert that’s also wrapped in banana leaves called Ansaom Cake (pronounced “Nom Ansaom” នំអន្សម).
There’s also different variations with ours, as there are large ones that can be filled with bananas or pork, or smaller versions filled with beans and jackfruit slices.
i was going to say this! 🥵
We have a similar snack in Indonesia too!! I guess us South East Asians are more alike than I realized
@@taniamanik2012 Oh yes, I realized that there are a lot of similarities between each SE Asian cultures, from food to music and clothing. I think if it wasn’t for war and history, everyone would’ve gotten along better.
was just about to say this but in thailand as well, usually filled with bananas
Kudos to you ,young lady❤
Keep it up...you're doing great.
Its refreshing to watch your videos.
Keep on promoting FilipinO food and culture. Im impressed you are proud of your Filipino heritage.❤
It's honestly nice that someone finally said it
I used to be one of those gatekeepers... After moving away to an area with fewer resources to make food close to "how it's supposed to be made" I had to get creative. I totally get it and sometimes that creativity leads to surprising and delicious results! Keep doing your thing! Live to eat and eat to live girl!
Ignorance is bliss
I followed you for the exact reason that you made Philippine food accessible to people in the states. My parents both immigrated from the Philippines before I was born and they made some decisions when I was growing up that I wish they didn't, but food is my main gateway to my heritage. Some things I can't fully remake authentically cause some things just don't make it here, but idk, sometimes I've adapted? Or my mom did and I just do what she does with food. And honestly, she makes some damn tasty food, no matter what she uses.
My boyfriend is Fillipino and his family food is literally the best omg, Suman is my favorite :)
We have so many sweets from rice,
sakkarai pongal (cooked rice + yellow moong lentils + jaggery)
Kheer or Payasam (rice + milk + sugar) and many more 😁
It’s absurd to tell someone that they’re ruining their beloved cuisine just by changing a couple of ingredients or certain technique. That’s why I hate purists now. They leave no place for innovation. 😂
We Tausugs have our own version of suman covered in slightly burnt grated coconut and we call it "Suman latik" and another one called "Pitis" filled with coconut and is purple in colour (idk why lol). I prefer it than the "normal" one and it is also eaten in Malaysia (Sabah specifically) :)
Finally, a fellow tausug 🙌 I love wadjit, it's similar to suman (it's probably the tausug of suman latik?)
You’re innovating and cooking with what’s available. I am here for it!
I’ll never understand why people try to gate keep food. It’s literally nourishment and pleasure for your body. Imagine trying to control someone on such a base level. Excellent dish! :)
People should be able to experiment with their cuisines and eat their food how they like it. I'm British and despite what Americans tend to think we do have a food culture and traditional foods we love (also we invented apple pie the earliest written recipe was ours) but I'm not gonna complain if someone adds cayenne to a recipe to make it spicy or uses jam instead of jelly (jel-o) in a trifle. Make your food how you want with the ingredients available and remember there is no one right way to cook.
Bruh, you guys are the ones that dog on your own food. I have only heard British people talk down about their food. I didn’t even know that there was even a stereotype until y’all be complaining about your food at Indian restaurants. You can blame the Americans for all the stupid shit they do but that…….uhhh y’all need to be more loyal to yourselves.
we have a similar dish in vietnam! it’s called bánh tết chuối which is the same but with a banana centre (there is a savoury ver). love seeing similar SEA desserts and would love to try suman!
That actually looks REALLY tasty!!!
Food is meant to be enjoyed. As long as you like it, you're not doing it "wrong". Love your videos!
Food brings people together , as long as it tastes good I don't care about anything else . Jeanelle and Lisa makes me soo hungry love you guys
Over the centuries Filipino food has grown to be about adapting to new cultures and ideas - we’re a resilient group of people and should be able take a little change 💪🏼 (Also I love your channel so much Jannelle! 💛)
Hello there, long distance relative. 😁
That exactly brand of syrup is my favorite I can just imagine how good it tasted
I loved when my coworkers brought these to work. Filipino food is one of the most delicious food I've had!
We have this in indonesia, we call it "lontong ayam".
But it's usually a savory dish/ snack, depends on how you eat it.
We put carrots, potatoes, spices and chicken on the inside and if you're feeling adventurous, we eat them with spicy sambal.
Hmm wow that makes my mouth water haha. Maybe I should try stuffing our suman with filling too
@@kailawkamo1568 awesome !
No no, we here this kind of food too! It’s “lupis”. Just the same exact thing!
@@hanungprabowo oh yeah right, forgot about that one
Lupis usually use coconut shavings/ desiccated coconut and brown sugar syrup
It's funny that the word "ayam" in Filipino/Waray means dog hehehe...
BTW, it isn't actually hard to make latik as long as you have coconut cream or coconut milk (it'll take longer if you use coconut milk), a stirring implement, and a pot or wok. It's basically a reduction and caramelization of coconut cream... Similar to dulce de leche. A bit of a time sink to make though, even more so it you make the fried version.
And like Jeanelle says, you don't even have to use latik, there are many ways to sweeten kakanin. You can use grated panutsa (coconut or palm sugar), maskobado, condensed milk, dulce de leche, yema (a Filipino custard candy), kinayod (grated coconut with sugar)... these are just the "traditional" ways. Nobody should fault you for trying new ways. Use creamed butter, or honey butter, or golden syrup, or jam, etc... Go nuts! There are Filipinos that live all over the world, there's a good chance it's already been done.
Try making a "binallay". It has syrup too but more traditional Filipino rice delicacy
Oh dendelot
It's cool to give people ideas of how to change it up. Also people will hopefully be more willing to try these recipes when they're familiar with some of the flavours.
There is this dish we make called as "pongal", it is a famous south Indian dish. It's kinda similar to what she ate (suman), except we boil the rice in a hot pot making it overflow (we add some dal,ghee,sugar/ brown sugar). It is the main dish during our harvest festival and the festival was named after this food. You can try it too. It doesn't matter if it overflows or not c'ze it's just tradition. But trust me it's taste AWESOME
My person, Filipino here, suman is actually just another variation of rice which is super sticky. Same way to cook it as well, boil it in water.
Wow! That's a new fact to know. Thank you😊
Ayyyy pongal represent! I'm so happy! The savoury version of pongal is pretty good too IMO, it's still one of my favorite breakfasts
@@heycarolcrazy😂hello!not just u,I just love pongal in general but sweet goes first if I had to choose in between those two.
I tried that at an Indian restaurant before. It is awesome! I actually liked it more than suman because the ghee is packed with so much flavor! Wish Jeanelle tries that too!! (disclaimer I still love suman, it's just that I really like the ghee's flavor profile)
You're not ruining anything.
She ain’t ruining it she making better! 😌
We also have that in Indonesia, we called that 'lupis manis'! It's really interesting that the SEA region shared so many things in common
Don't let the haters get you down, work with what you got!
Honestly, if it’s good, eat it
i mean, i feel like toppings shouldn’t be something debated lol you start off with the delicious suman base which is basic and you can add whatever depth you want lol
In malay countries like Malaysia and Brunei, they call it "kelupis" but they usually eat it as a savoury food so usually ate with curry or stuffed dried prawn? But that's called "panggang" cause it's usually charred.
I never considered eating it as a dessert. But I'd like to try it.
We have this kind of food too here in Indonesia! It's originated in Java Island and called "lupis." We sprinkled salted coconut too on top of it! So flavorful 💕
it’s just called a variation! being creative is the best way to figure out what you like best 💕 if you can alter a cake then you can alter anything
The one on the vid is called “Latik” in our region and Suman is wrapped a bit tighter, rounder shape unlike latik that’s more flat. Just keep going Jeanelle!🤍
Food is a universal language if it tastes good eat it cook it and share
Omg!! I’m half Turkish and half Greek and growing up in the islands my yiayia would make me something Soo similar to that! This brings back so many memories
Yes, just enjoy it the way u want to. Lots of ingredients are hard to find. Lol. As long as it’s nostalgic for u and takes the cravings away for you. You are amazing
It took me a long time to realize this in life especially in Filipino culture...who cares what people think! Do, you! It's what makes people creative and unique.
That look ✨scrumptious ✨
I eat suman with milo if they dont make/sell sryup(milo is a chocolate milk powder which we use not only as milk but sometimes, a cold sweet drink or ice candy!)
That looks so good. Being in an Asian household, my parents would make something similar to that. They'd keep the leaves, but would fold it into a cone like shape and include nuts. Then, the children would usually dip it into any granulated sugar we had at home for sweetness since it was typically plain. Thank you for sharing this! I never knew that there were so many variants of this lol
Sidenote: that fork looks really cool
I love you literally no one ever yells at me for ruining my Dutch food lmao.
Suman in my province are wrapped in coconut leaves. We sometimes put pandan leaves inside each wrap which makes it more aromatic and enhances the flavor of the coconut milk.
I miss suman. It’s been like 3 years since I’ve had suman. Before my family moved here in Canada almost every week we would eat suman because someone sells it in our neighborhood, I feel like I took those days for granted. How I wish I savor every bite I took when eating suman before if only I had known I wouldn’t be able to eat it for a very long time 🥺😞
Part of the joy of food is trying new things, sharing things you love with others, and spreading awareness for more unique items. I'm all for respecting the origins of different foods, but not to the point where nobody can ever make or eat them if they're not done a VERY specific way. Heck, even within cultures families have differences in classic recipes based off preferences, availability, and how they were taught.
Suman😭😭 now you made me crave for it😭 The topings in our region is called bukayo I wonder if it's the same for the others as well but it does TRUTHFULLY taste super good with it!! You should really try thaatt!!
Girl yess, I 100% agree w your reason. I think the same way, it makes it funner and taste better if you enjoy making it instead of trying to get it so perfect. Have fun and make it the way you make it😁
My mom taught us to appreciate food as it is while we still can because she grew up having to survive on just stale rice with only salt and soy sauce. I find it to be the same for most Filipino families. The situation in our country leaves most of us wondering whether or not we can still serve a nice warm meal next dinner, so we've learned to be thankful for whatever food we get to eat regardless of how it was made or which ingredients are compromised. The beauty of Filipino food is in its countless variants and the warmth and familiarity it brings despite the small differences, after all. Because it's home.

The way people can tell somebody “your ruining [your culture] food!!”
Like bro if ANYTHING the people who are literally part of that culture aren’t ruining their OWN food. Also changing things up isn’t wrong. I’m African and love ground but stew because of the flavor and meat but I HATE nuts. It’s not bad that when I learn the recipe I will be making it without nuts. Anybody can do what they want it’s not a big deal to change up a recipe.
burasak it a popular bugis dish .. my mom make it every raya or on new years .
This dessert reminds me of "Pamonha" witch is pretty similar. It's basicly mashed corn wraped in corn leaves. You can make it salty, sweet or both. It's a really creative dish ngl
Isn't asian food in general all about experimenting with flavors and making variations of different dishes? Like, if you eat the same dish but made by different Filipino households the recipe won't be the exact same but all of them still taste amazing.
you can't 'ruin' a dish so long as you enjoy it
can we talk about how flawless and glowy janelle’s skin is?? she’s literally so beautiful.
As a Filipino, I haven't tried suman yet, but I would love to try it someday😁
You are killing it, Filipino food needs to evolve. Don't change
I'm pretty sure the people saying that are probably the second-third generation Filipino-Americans because here in the Philippines just going outside there's a lot of carinderias who have the same food but cooked differently. There's literally like tens of variations of every food here in the Philippines and it can depend on what geographical location you're in like with adobo there's a lot and I mean a LOT of adobo variants that exist. Some put coconut milk in it and some put Pineapple in it to make it more flavorful. Others use fish or string beans to make adobo. What makes Filipino food great is it's versatility on whatever you can put in it to make it more tasty. Filipino cuisine is never constrained and the people who try to gatekeep are the ones who understand the culture the least. I mean, if they knew the history of the Philippines on how we got cucked by a lot of countries, then they shouldn't be saying those kinds of stuff.
Oh I want maple syrup sticky rice now lol. I’ve never had the original dish and I usually put maple syrup on oatmeal, but I don’t think you ruined maple syrup 😉 It’s super difficult to make “authentic” recipes when you’re half way around the world. It’s a no brainer to me that substitutes will have to happen, but I also celebrate sharing different world recipes and ingredients , even if that means mixing them lol. It’s all part of the fun and the human experience 😌
Doesn’t matter what you put on it as long as you love the sweet sticky rice out of that banana leaf.. nostalgia 🥰
Gurl don't even worry about it. Ur literally Filipino. And THANK YOU for bringing our traditional foods into the mainstream
I highly doubt that a Filipino would be mad about this. Each region has their own variation so we don’t mind, just enjoy the food! As for the party poopers? Probably a knight and shining Twitter user who isn’t even Filipino 😭💀

I remember having suman all the time after church. They'd always have vendors lined up at the courtyard of the church selling it, as well as bibinka and other stuff like that.
I love Suman growing up in Hawaii! I am half Filipino and I have had different versions of Suman!💜🌺🤍🤙🏼
I mean, it's not like you're disrespecting Filipino food. *It's literally you're culture* and I see nothing wrong with adding something to add a little flavor, no matter what type of food it is.
It does looks delicious, by the way. 😋
That type of suman can be eaten with anything sweet. Typically, the caramelized coconut syrup or filling is used for the cassava suman. But that, can be eaten with mangoes, tsokolate baterol, plain as it is, with coffee or tea. So more power to this channel!
You sound so adorable here. The rice tamale looks good. New for me.
Love how this dish shares similarities with our venezuelian hallacas!
Wait, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you Filipino? How are you gonna "ruin" your own cultures dish??? People like to complain about everything god dang...
Just enjoy the food the way you want with available ingredients you have at the time. What the important thing is you enjoy the food! Nice work!!
That dish made me remember childhood were I used to help my parents and my grandparents to make "pamonha" it's a very similar dish to tamales, and they're made of corn and you have a slice of cheese in the inside, they can be sweet, "salty" or spicy
“I don’t wanna ruin the food I just wanna eat it” what a mood
