Woooow. As a Filipino, this makes me so happy that you’re trying our dishes. You even mentioned sisig!! Waw omg. Amazing. Cultural exchange is so important not only because it gives you more understanding of other people but it allows you to explore a whole new world and way of life and FOOD is a really HUGE part of that because people need to eat to live. Filipino cuisine was never really big or emphasized on even here in the US. People are only beginning to discover our flavors. I’m so happy you guys are emphasizing that exchange with our country and our culture. ❤️ thank you so much ❤️ I also LOVE korean food and I wish I was a better cook to be able to really enjoy korean flavors to the fullest.
I just wish that if ever you would visit Philippines again, try their unique desserts like Taho, Turon, Maruya, Sapin-sapin, Kutsinta with coconut flakes, Buko pandan, Ube, fruit salad, halo halo, leche flan and etc. Like literally those are gold and you would truly love it
Im a bicolano but I really dont like this dish the scent of bagoong is so strong but I ain't hate the dish its a special dish here in our place (bicol region) such an overwhelming feeling that foreign people love our food.
@@KuyaNardzPH sawa ka nlng siguro or umay na..mula pag kabata mu puro na gata ang ulam..edi itry mu walng bagoong..di ko pag sasawaan ang pag kain ng bicol.. kaya taga bicol inasawa ko masarap ang pag kain ninyo doon..
No it is not originated in Bicol, I'm bicolano myself but do your research, it is originated in train station bound to bicol province somewhere in Manila where a woman invented that recipe and she named the food Bicol express.
I'm from Bicol (region), and in my small town, we cook it with more chilis than pork. The chili are the main part of the dish, the pork is just there for added flavor. Oh and, you can also try to fry the bagoong, before adding it to the mix.
Its the ratio of the coconut milk and the chilis(type of chili). The coconut milk waters down the hotness of the chili. Local chili like "sili labuyo" is not enough. Use red chilis, jalapenos or Carolina reaper. I also like Fish Ceviche (Fish Kilawin) with coconut milk. Since I'm here in the US, I can choose any variety of hot chilis.
I am a Bikolana, from where bikol express originated. The authentic way to cook it. You dont fry the pork. Just mix all the engridients altogether except for the chili. The meat must be sliced into pieces. Put all of this in the pan and keep on stirring it until the coconut cream thickens. When its almost cooked pour in the chili. Cook for another few Minutes depending on you if you want the chili to keep its crispiness.you can put as many chili as you want. The spicy it is the better. We call it bikol express because it means the hotness of the chili should be really super spicy hot.
@@stephanemahusay1059 if we put string beans then it is no longer bikol express. The authentic bikol express is pure chili(sili) or jalapeño only. With string beans it is already called ginataang sitaw(string beans in english) thanks! Altho, with string beans it will still taste good.
Well done doing the commercialised version of the Bicol Express. The authentic version of it is chilli pepper in coconut milk, (80% chilli pepper and 20% pork)
*Fun Fact:* Bicol Express is famous for it's spicy (chilli peppers) and creamy (coconut milk) taste, a staple in Bicolano food culture. BUT, it didn't originate in the Bicol Region. It originated from an eatery in Malate, Manila. The dish was named Bicol Express because it was derived from the train that passes the eatery which travels from Manila to Bicol and vice versa. Proud Bicolano here. 💗
Did it this quarantine. I did it with CHICKEN since I can't eat pork. SPICY is YUMMY! 😊😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kXO_Y4qVUJU.html
You are now my favorite Korean youtubers. It's very heart warming that you are embracing our Filipino culture (foods, places, experience, etc) Thank you and may God bless you more 🥰
Right just like some of their fellow koreans who end up living in the Philippines for 15 to 20 yrs now and there so many of them now from Baguio in the north to Davao in the south
I am from the Bicol Region and I am also a BTS ARMY! Just imagine how happy my hearts is while watching this 💜 Thank you for trying Filipino cuisines and also for loving it 💜
next try cooking "sinigang" a type of popular delicious pinoy "sour soup" the popular ingredients are milk fish (bangus) or you can use bite size pork cutlets
Proud Bicolano here , My Mom's specialty is Bicol Express and Kinalas . I love watching your videos KimLee and I love seeing how you guys loved filipino food . Keep safe and more subscribers to come . Godbless
Bruh im a Bicolana and this is my favorite dish. We like it if you put more red and green chili and it must be salty and spicy. We, Bicolanos, are known for eating spicy foods like Koreans. my uncle can eat 10 plus whole red/green chili without drinking water. 😂
I remember my late father while watching this. He used to buy and bring home bicol express from the city proper (because we are not fond of cooking bicol express) because i love it, i will have it at lunch before going to work. I miss my father so much. BTW Happy father’s day (tomorrow 2020.06.21) to your fathers (and or moms that stands the role of a father in the family, salute! ❤️🌻)
Ohh i love Bicol Express. Woo cooked it well. We have different ways to cook that here and the way woo cooked it was very good!!! By the way we also love bagoong rice here in the Philippines. (Rice with bagoong) partner it with fried pork or fish is the best!!! Love that you guys are enjoying Philippine foods 💛 will wait for your next video
@@janssenmanalastas7429 No. The dish originated in Bicol, but was named in Manila. Cely Kalaw used it in a competition then named it after the railway train in Bicol. The original dish was just Chili, Coconut Milk and Alamang to taste
@@totemietv1753 Pano naging OA? How can they use fresh coconut milk when coconut trees don't grow in Korea? Malamang masarap ang fresh oo, pero wala sila sa tropical country which means wala silang access to fresh coconut milk lol ang lakas pa ng loob mo pagsabihan sya ng "tanga"
Natural coconut is really sweet. I did it with CHICKEN since I can't eat pork. SPICY is YUMMY! 😊😁 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kXO_Y4qVUJU.html
Bicol express is made with lots of chillies,literally.. my neighbor is a bicolano and he said that lots of chillies is used in cooking bicol express.. more chillies and less meat
Okay I'm now officially crushing on the guy in the middle. Men who can cook and eat well are adorbs. And that looks sooo good! Btw, since you guys have that shrimp paste, might as well cook Pork Binagoongan with it. If you still like that (it's a little intense for non-filipinos) then that means you really have a palate for filipino food! 😊
It would be better to use the small chilis like bird’s eye or siling labayo. They are small but very hot. These are the type of chilis used in making bicol express. I know some who would put around 20 pcs or more in making bicol express.
Tine T yes maybe it isnt available in Korea, their chilis arent so spicy like our Siling Labuyo in the Philippines, it would have been perfect taste for Koreans, siling labuyo.
Thank you for cooking Filipino food and appreciating the culture. I'm Filipino and my best friend is Korean. Sharing cultures with one another is a beautiful thing!
I'm a proud Bicolana and that's our favorite dish here in Bicol..Thank You for choosing it for your vlog..So delicious!! I got hungry watching you guys.
Dinuguan is not recommended for beginners to cook. If they don't know the amount of spices they put, might be the foul smell and taste are still present.
@@KIMnLEETV Kare-kare is usually served with shrimp paste on the side, but you need to be careful to not add too much shrimp paste on kare-kare. Kare-kare is a little bland on just itself so as you take a spoonful, also take a little shrimp paste (about pea size or less) as you eat. I personally prefer if the shrimp paste is cooked with lots of sugar on it, but of course you can adjust based on your taste. Thank you for enjoying Filipino food. ☺️ I was also trying to cook some Korean foods while at home. (The easier ones to cook as of now, I just started since the Quarantine 😅)
"BICOL EXPRESS" is a famous dish from Bicol Philippines. It is called bicol express because first it is originately from bicol second its called express becuase bicol is also famous for having a Train Express from Bicol to the Main City Manila. Bicol is the first and only Province that has a Train Express going to Manila.
I'm a filipino and I am from Bicol. Bicol express is one of my favorites. So happy that you tried to cook it and liked it. 😊 More cooking videos please. 😉😇
just saw this video and i want to go home in the PH just to eat bicol express. 😋 by the way im a big fan of Reply 1994 and i Love your Satorri/accent. Busan Jjang!! 👍
I think it's my third time watching this video, I feel full just by watching you. I really don't eat pork but I just love your reactions and appreciation of Filipino food, thank you so much.
the first bicol express wasn't called bicol express, it's nameless, this food is sold in the train station in bicol. 1 day a bicolano (people from bicol) compete in manila for food cooking competition, she became a grand champion in that contest but she didn't know what is the name of the food, so some filipinos named it bicol express because it was originated in bicol sorry for grammar😂
@@Liseynsliseynss i just heard it on food facts in the channel i'm watching in the television, it's like cooking show but they are telling the story about the bicol express cuz they are cooking bicol express lol keep safe bro/sis✊✊
Daebak, bicol express 😍 This is literally a dish to eat with family or friends right after a day's work. 😍 Thank you for featuring in this in your channel. 😉
them: "i wish i was born in the Philippines" ph armys: WE ARE BORN IN THE WRONG COUNTRY anyways, try pork sinigang it's also sour just like kimchi jjigae!
Being passionate about the Philippines is making me love and ship you. I have been watching your videos since then, but i had never been so convinced until now in subscribing you. New sub here. well-deserved. Mabuhay!
When you eat it in bicol. You will know the difference of the spiciness of the Bicol express than the other country in the Philippines. Go to albay Bicol.
Thank you guys for patrionizing our Filipino food and dishes. You all have a great job for giving a nice and honest opinion. I support you guys. Mabuhay kayong tatlo. God bless and more power to you guys. Anyway about the cooking of bicol express you did a great job! And looking forward you guys to cooked our Filipino dish "sisig". Thank you
I've come to this channel because of BICOL EXPRESS now I don't regret watching and subscribing to this channel.😇 By the way proud Bicolana here 🙋 Bicolano's really love eating spicy food.
Proud to be a pilipino , also,proud to be bicolanos . I hope you enjoy a lot the bicol express but the natural taste is also a fresh coconut milk and more spices... Thankyou for loving our food in ph..
Actually it’s a nice decision using samgyeopsal (pork belly) for this recipe. The pork fat helps in enhancing the flavor in Bicol Express, but I suggest adding more chili. The authentic Bicol Express has a lot of chilis, in such a way that most Filipinos can’t eat it (not kidding here since I’m from the Bicol region too). 비콜 엑스프레스는 너무 너무 맛있어요 😍
hello!! found your channel, and am a new subscriber today! my daughter has been asking me to cook her bicol express, looks like I found my "cook-book" or I should say, "watch-you-cook" LoL! nevermind that was a corny joke 😂 anyways, omgosh, thank you for your genuine liking of Filipino food! I'm a Filipina who grew up in America, but my mom knew how to cook almost every main dish. Going to try and follow the steps to this video asap!! Thank you!!
I i will ever meet this guys i will cook for them every filipino dish i know. They seem to enjoy it alot. It's just to nice seeing foreigners enjoy our simple food.
I'm a Filipino and was born and raised in Bicol region. I can truly say that you did actually cook an authentic Bicol express (we usually put more chilli tho). But the process and the way you cooked it was perfectly done! Thumbs up from a Bicolano!
there are so many coconuts in Philippines so we use coconut milk to a lot of recipe. thanks Guys for appreciating our cusine, just as Filipinos are loving korean recipe's as well. salute
As a filipino I am actually surprised also when I first tasted it and I always ask my grandmother to cook it, even now, I love the taste and I love it in any way. Thank you for trying and supporting the filipino foods! We also love korean foods ❤
I was born from Bicol Region, We are cooking Bicol Express with lots of red and green Chili... and sometimes we add chili oil if we want to make it more spicy. Sometimes.. we add Devils Chili to Bicol Express. Its nice to watch you enjoying our very own bicol express
