Lol - I’m glad you’re having so much fun, Jonathan😂🤣As you know, we don't dance in public while selling or shopping here in the US without people thinking that you're crazy❗🥹 I've lived here all my life since I was eleven and have been married to my Caucasian husband for over twenty-five plus years! I can't wait when we can travel again, especially to my birth country❣️Btw, that looks delicious and very healthy for you, too😋Bona petit and until then! Mabuhay❣️🇵🇭🇺🇸❣️
It was a great idea! Thank you! I do actually read comments and take suggestions 😂 I didn't realize we would do it so soon, but I mentioned the idea to Dagan, and he was in. We did it a couple days later!
Merry Christmas Jonathan! 🎄 With all the friends you've made here, i'm sure your Christmas will be merry indeed :) 1:50 - Bangus is Milk Fish in English. It's actually our national fish. It's very tasty. However, it's notorious for its bones so very difficult to eat. But you can also buy a deboned one (not sure if you can find one in the wet market.) Btw, just want to share that the Philippines won another award - World's Best Country Tourism Destination in 2022 at the Uzakrota Global Travel Awards (Turkish travel organization). Also, Boracay is Condé Nast Readers Choice Best Island in Asia for 2022. (It was Siargao in 2021.) :)
Thats how I missed the Philippines Jonathan. It’s a matter of choices and they choose to be happy and enjoy. Merry Christmas and enjoy your holiday. We love our Bisayan kinilaw. 😘.
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL we live a simple life and life is short. Make the most of it. Xmas has lots of celebrations specially after midnight mass and whole day too. Hopefully you’ll be invited by Filipino families. Lots of food preparations.
his chef is good but i cant afford other ingredients hahaha. It will be my honor working with him. learning something new with him. i already loving this person engaging with people here.
Your eyes show it all, bruh! How happy you were of the kinilaw.🤗 Better if has strong kicks on it. It's good to know that you're liking local foods. Awesome, brother👍
He actually just bought a boat here.. he likes to catch his own fish for his meal preparations. I think he’s going to make that part of his channel here, showing the whole process!
I just saw your video and could not stop watching, you are a natural Jonathan. Keep it real and your channel will grow. More places to travel and more people to meet! More power bro Happy Holidays!
Your already famous 🤣🤣😂 one the reasons why Filipinos recilliencie is over the top even though Life is hard we find ways to be positive we always look at the bright side of life enjoy your stay I'm sure it's going to be a memorable one by the way your bisaya accent is awesome...😂🤣😊😜
It's been so long you stay in Bohol. I think your heart belong now the Bohol. I hope you can visit in Cebu this Coming January 15 for the Sinulog Festival. It's more fun and more events you in counter. Enjoy your vacation here in the Philippines
you should try pusit(squid) kinilaw.. it is much sweeter than fish kinilaw.. but make sure its fresh, so its juicy cuz if not fresh it will be rubbery..
Kinilaw (ceviche) is an absolute treat especially with some San Miguel Light Beer and watching this prep is asmr for me. I wished I saw the ingredients he placed in the Polynesian marinade. As a Chef, you should start vlogging cooking, People will surely love your take on Filipino Food. :)
😻 awww a cat Never had kinilaw myself but I’m sure I’ll enjoy it since I love Sashimis and Pokes. Chef got me hungry 😋. Love seeing people from other places hanging out together.
I THINK IT HELPS A LOT IF YOU ARE A VLOGGER WITH A CAMERA THEY ALL LOVE TO BE ON YOUR VIDEOS ITS SO OBVIOUS I HAVE BEEN TO THE PHILIPPINES THREE TIMES AND YES THEY ARE HAPPY PEOPLE BUT NOT NOT AS EASY AS YOU MAKE OUT TO BE .MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL WALK AROUND WITH A CAMERA FILMING
Filipino ceviche using vinegar and citrus, kinilaw, actually predates the Spanish arrival. Physical evidence was found in an excavation site dating back to the 10th century. Archaeologists discovered the remains of citrus fruits and fish bones that showed markings of cubed cutting. When Spanish explorers arrived in the Philippines, natives were already eating this style of fish, then called kilaw, cqilao, or quilao. In later documents, Spaniards described the dish in journals and articles.
the handkerchief could be a fashion statement might work. i mean theres this guy with banadana on his head for his vlogs that started as a necessity so. lol
OMG Jonathan you just love Bohol eh. There are at least 2 KINILAW ingredients that you guys didn't put in and these are GREEN TOMATOES and COCONUT MILK. I always remember when we make Kinilaw specifically there in Bohol we always put the green crispy tomatoes and coconut milk. Also we don't normally put garlic. Try it sometime. MAAYONG PASKO!
Kinilaw must be spicy- by putting chopped ginger, black pepper powder and /or chopped siling labuyo(chilli padi)- to cover up its fishy taste & smell aside from the vinegar/ lime(calanansi), of course
Coconut vinegar is a fermented coconut nectar from the coconut flower before it becomes a fruit, that's why Filipino kinilaw is better than ceviche lol. I only use coconut vinegar for my kinilaw. I can make you a better one with guso (seaweed), coconut milk, lots of hot peppers, and a little magic sarap! It's the secret ingredients lol. Btw try putting ginger, garlic, and lots of hot pepper in your coconut vinegar and let it store like that for at least 7 days before using it. This makes the super coconut vinegar 2.0! This is the proper vinegar to use for dipping your lechon and all barbeque meats.
It was great working with you! Had a blast filming this one and i learned a lot! You Helped me find the mojo to get my channel going!! i hope nothing but the best for you and your channel!! Safe travels my friend and i hope we cross paths again someday! Cheers!
After watching many videos, I've noticed the people in the markets are EXTREMELY friendly and talkative to foreigner vloggers, but to Filipino's many turn away from the camera. I think that would be an interesting experiment to try, have a Filipino go into a market alone and vlog and see the reactions, then a foreigner go into the same market a bit later and see the reactions. Either way it's enjoyable to see everyone having a good time. I wish you a Merry Christmas.
Its thesame with Filipino youtubers, I'm Filipino so I watch Filipino youtube. Filipinos will talk to the camera, they will even greet their friends who might watch the video. They're even more talkative when they can speak in their own language.
it actually depends in the energy and how you approach the people. I've seen awkward vloggers who does not know how to properly ask people to include them in their vlog, some are arrogant. But most Filipino vloggers i've seen are really just friendly, and it reflects to the people they are trying to include in their vlog.
I can tell if a RU-vid channel will progress or not just by watching it. You have this charisma to connect with locals. Just continue doing it and you'll get more subscribers. :)
Hay nako andame na naman magmamarunong na mali yung recipe nila. Walang basagan ng trip magvideo kayo ng sarili nyong recipe na galing sa lola ng lola nyo na may butanding at dolphin at sirena at may halong ginto at plutonium at suka na gawa sa luha ng birhen.
Kinilaw is about eating a fish as raw as it can be. By marinating it, it cooks the meat by the vinegar. As long as all the ingredients are mix together with the fish, you can serve or eat the kinilaw right away and do not marinate the fish or it will not be called kinilaw... By the way jonathan,during filming this, your friend is wasting much of water. Happy holidays. Enjoy your stay in PH. ❤️😎🇵🇭
Eating raw fish could get you parasites. Tuna used for sushi had been known to carry tiny worms that humans may ingest. So as much as I want my kinilaw to be as fresh as it could be, I rather "cook" the raw fish by marinating it in lemon juice, vinegar, pepper, chilies, salt and onions. Better be safe than sorry.
Thank you so much Jonathan for being part of your vlog.Were so happy for giving us chance to try the 3 types of kinilaw because what we had here in the Philippines is only the traditional one.Honestly,all is lami kàayo...Salamat Po!
Merry Christmas Jonathan. Enjoy the Holidays in the Philippines. We are having Winter storm here in the US. So cold. Other parts are under deep snow and the temperatures are dropping. I really don't like this kind of weather. Enjoy the warm weather in the Philippines. God bless.
I am drooling over the kinilaws while watching the video. I gotta have some of that soon. Thank you Jonathan for these fun type of contents. Have a Merry Christmas to you! God Bless! 🎄🎅
Bueatefull video John 👌👌 Its very special day for Philipinos its Christmas time🎄🙏 🥰 and they are joyfull more then usually, Alot to learn and see true your Camera lenses! Special thanks for mr chef Dagan and hes love spreading true bellys❤️🙏
I think I fell in love with the one lady you happened to pass like 27 times.😍 I'm sure if I ever get the chance to visit the Phillipines, I probably wouldn't leave.🙂
Lami kaayo ang kinilaw. Watching u guys when ur in the market ( palengki) in bisaya. Lami kaayo 😋 Watching you from Cairo, Egypt originally from Davao City the Philippines. ❤️🇵🇭🇪🇬😘🇸🇩😋
Really? You can find all those ingredients in one small store?? Men! I had been in different places or countries but no one dance and happy that kind i seen! Are the fish there cheap or expensive? They seems fresh or just like here in usa that were thawned?
@@travelescapesOFFICIAL just a fork. I think it was intended this way so you will only get the meat & the other solids in the dish. New tagalog word: PAPAK( elongate the syllable pa, then pa(c)k ). Meaning to eat the viand or ulam without rice.
Way to go, Jonathan and Chef. If you can read this, I'm inviting you to attend our Christmas party here in lindaville Subdivision here in Tagbilaran this 28. Kamao na gyud ka magbisaya (you really know how to speak bisaya). "Pud" means "also" or "too" Maayong buntag pud
I wish those people trying fresh kinilaw fish, would use serving spoon not using the same spoon 🥄 or fork 🍴 that the’ve used it over and over in their mouth, hopefully next time they will remember to use serving spoon 🥄 or fork 🍴 in any where, I’m not a troll but it’s a proper way to respect peoples Health issue thanks for the people who understand Where am coming from
I agree to one comment below that you don't have to marinate the fish that long. Once all the ingredients are mixed then they are good to go because the vinegar will instantly cure the fish meat. Also when the fish is marinated too long it becomes too soft and soggy and not anymore tasty.
