thank you for showing Filipino food to the world! Love you josh!
I grew up on an island in Alaska where the predominant culture wasn't just native, it was Filipino. So I grew up eating some incredible foods. This really hits home since the only thing people usually think of with Filipino food is lumpia (which is great!)
Yes! You've discovered the breakfast that leaves the US breakfasts, the UK full breakfasts (they vary among England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.), and the European continental breakfast all far behind. The Filipino breakfast! I admit I'm a white guy from the US, but when I discovered this Filipino breakfast, I knew I'd found a better breakfast. Yes, there are other excellent breakfasts out there. And, I, for one, am eagerly waiting for Joshua to tell us about them. Hurray! Keep up the good work! And thanks to Christian for helping you out! 👍👍😋😋
As a Filipino Mexican, I was always torn between eating Mexican and Filipino food. There was one point where I had no access to Filipino food and I always find myself craving for it everytime. Filipino food truly has a special place in my heart.
Made the Filipino breakfast for dinner tonight. OMG! Thank you Josh, this is spectacular. Whole family wants this regularly.
this is impressive josh making tocino and longanisa is labor intensive. people can always see how you make your homework in every cultural dish that you do so you dont offend other people. job well done mate!
8:41 could have been better if you got vinegar with garlic for dip
We tend to use the used-oil from the tocino or longganisa when cooking fried rice because it will add flavor to your fried rice. :)
As a Mexican American who looks Filipino to most people who are Filipino. During my college years I was living at a home for months who are Filipino family and the first thing I learned to cook was rice. The very next day we cooked the same rice for breakfast with a lot garlic. The same years I was able to express and enjoy many food from the Philippines.
Our food here in the Philippines isn't really really known in the world but thank you for letting 7 million people see our food making them try out our food
4:24 I loved how he made his own tocino, as filipino basically (basically) rely on frozen foods soo..BUT IT WAS A GREAT TRY AND IM LOVING IT ALREADY :DDD
You can also cook your rice (Sinangag) on the same pan you used to cook the longganisa and/or tocino to get some of that flavor on the rice as well. Good job on this
FYI on Tocino/Longganisa = These are prepared in advance, so cooking time usually is faster. Grocery stores and Supermarket stores already sell ready-to-cook versions. But thanks for showing us how to do these from scratch.
I am no Filipino, I haven't even eaten any Filipino foods before, but here I am in the middle of the night getting everything I need to make Filipino food
I love how josh expresses his thoughts on his videos, like he is such a wise man
I'm half Filipino and whilst on a trip there to visit my mother I was exposed to some of the best dishes I've ever tasted, all the way from restaurants to their streets everything is absolutely delicious. As a fitness guy myself, there have been many times I almost gave it all up to just eat.
That moment you made Tocino and Skinless Longanisa from scratch is the best highlight out there. One missing link on the Filipino brekfast is the sauce dip. (Mixed of Vinegar and Soy Sauce - with chili crushed by fork/spoon as optional if you want spicy.) making all the variations of "silog meals" very enjoyable to eat. Much love man from PH. <3
The reason why your Tocino was bitter was because it was burnt. For both Tocino and Longganisa… we usually boil them in shallow water until the water evaporates and let them cook in the rendered fat later. Although for longganisa, that only works for ones with casing.
Vinegar with garlic and little bit of salt ( chili - optional ) on the side is missing in Filipino breakfast 😮
