Chef Ellie Tiglao Is Bringing Filipino Food to Boston - Halo Halo 

Honestly really loving this series. Francesca is an adorable well-researched host who looks passionate about learning from the people she visits. Keep it going, as a Canadian born Filipino who has never been there it’s the first series I’ve seen on RU-vid that I relate to in my own strange way.

I agree with Ellie. Any Filipino food is adaptive, since every region in the Philippines has their own version of a certain dish.

My roots are from Pampanga and this episode showcases all the foods my mom and titas made. Bringhe and tibok tibok!! Keep producing these awesome shows. There is more to Filipino food than pancit, lumpia, and adobo😀😀

I really liked what Ellie have said ... "Filipino food is all about adaptation."

Specifically, the food presented here is Kapampangan food from the province of Pampanga. Basically the kapampangan version of a typical Filipino food, hence the name differences. Tibók-tibók is colloquially called Maja Blanca; Bringhe is Arroz Valenciana; Tidtad is Dinuguan. Lastly, Kapampangan is a language, not a dialect. Contrary to what most of our teachers if not all, had taught us. P.S. Pampanga, as a place where there's a lot of class difference because they were negatively discriminated by Spain is oversimplified. Capampañgans were actually favored by Spain because of their support to the Crown. E.g. When the Pirays of South Pampanga aided the governor-general in manufacturing Lantaka (cannons) for a fort's defense.

This is next level Filipino Cuisine! 👍 Keep doing what you're doing. Let them know how delicious our stuff really is. 😊

Thank you for featuring Ellie! I do think her group’s efforts in being a worker-owned collective, instead of exploiting labor and talent, are really worth highlighting too. So proud to know her!

Filipino food on a creative way. Yes Filipino food "It's all about adaptation".

Dear Eater, We need more Francesca educating us on the diversity of Filipino food in the United States. I miss her.

Isang tanong lang, may Pilsen ba kayo?

Wow i am 1/2 Filipino i didn't know this place! I live in Boston for almost 30 years. Thanks for vid Pampanga invented the Sisig!

Damn some fine dining looking filipino food. Never thought i'll see one. She is very brave and creative doing this, salut. :D

Boston, Massachusetts! My fave city and state though I never been.

proud kapampangan here 💯

Pampanga is a province known for its dishes and Chefs. People has their own dialect too although very near to the so called "Tagalog Country". Her name is Tiglao not sure if she's a relative of this successful chef that Anthony Bourdain once visited. And Pampanga is what like Tuscany in Italy or Provence in France here in the Philippines.

So proud of her for expanding the Filipino food to different people. She also put her flare into the food. I love it!! Goodluck in your future endeavors.❤️

Boston really needs this

I love watching FilAm food grow and be such a great backbone for cooking. I feel Filipinos and Viets are straight -killing- it in AsiAm cooking and i could never enjoy better food then what i get to share with y'all

Sana reng sasabing proud kapampangan keni, turo dalang magkapampangan deng anak da.

Maraming salamat!! I appreciate my country being represented in such a positive and educational way by wonderful people. Go get em!!

Wow, Kapampangan na naman. Manyaman tlg ing lutung Kapampangan.

She represents Kapampangans quite well, with her fusion pampango dishes proud Cabalen! ^^

Biringhe. Our version at home has lots chicken gizzard, liver, pork, and chorizo. Yum

You can really feel it when someone’s so passionate about what they do. Great job! ♥️

Kapampangan is in the House. More power po 😊

Nice.and interesting. Mabuhay ang mga Pinoy 💜💜💜🇵🇭

Thank you for representing! Bring this to Atlanta!

Oh wow! I want to eat what she’s cooking and presenting... and I’m in the Philippines! 🤣 It’s so exciting to watch and see how these innovative younger crowd present Filipino cuisine to the world! Props to these peeps!

Just discovered this series and am loving it!

makes me happy that videos like these showcases that filipino food is more than pancit, lumpia, adobo, sinigang. Some people havent even scratched the surface when it comes to filipino food. Our culture is so diverse which people dont know and you have to visit the whole country to find out how wide our variety of culture and food is. I agree with the filipino food is not as appealing as compared to our neighboring countries, were not a big streetfood country like the rest but because you can find the food shared in community/family gatherings. You just need to explore the rest of the country to find out.

The presentation is really really beautiful.

I am a Filipino. TUMPAK ang sinabi ni chef na "this is not your lola's cooking"....because the foods presented in this video are so alien to me. In my humble opinion, what I saw in this video are "Filipino foods for non-Filipinos". The creativity of the chef is very evident and I have no doubt in my mind that they were delicious. If I were hungry and looking for a delicious lunch, I would definitely go at Chef Ellie's resto. But if I were an OFW, feeling homesick and missing my lola's cooking....I'd eat somewhere else. I wouldn't even consider the foods in this video a comfort food for me. But I appreciate her intention to introduce Filipino food flavors to the world. More power. Mabuhay from the Philippines !!!

She from pampanga kapampangan, so proud to my cabalen, kagaling ng atsi dakal salamat

Valenciana is the Ilonggos favourite

Proud to be ilonga and waray here and iborn in manila quezon city so I know what the real pilipino food is nothing gonna change the originality of pilipino fooc

Yay! Saw all my favorite dish. Brings back childhood memories

I live near Boston and can’t wait to try this place!!!

pamangan keng pampanga, tune manyaman.

Elevated Filipino food...cant wait to try em!

2:40 the lunchbox story got me. my first time in a western country bringing lunch and I was made to feel ashamed of my culture. was not expecting to cry watching RU-vid today.

Just a heads up that RU-vid pulled this video out of my Subscription feed even though I'm very much still subscribed to Eater. Only saw it because it was recommended underneath another Eater video just now...

this is a nice filipino twist, even the presentation with the banana leaf is very filipino like

The mention of patis reminds me of my year batch's entrance exam to one of the philippine's known universities. There was an section of the exam about an essay where a filipino in the united states had to travel all around to find that one condiment for a filipino dish they were supposed to make or smth. Back then it was a funny story that still kinda gets mentioned by most I know who took the exam but its also kinda weird how I can understand really well how that simple patis was a necessity to taste a bit of home.

another one !! yey! filipino food, kalamiiiiii... kami sa barko pinapatikim namin sa dayuhang mga kasama ang lutong pinoy hehehe

saw the name of the resto is Tanam which is in the Capampangan language means tanim that’s why the chef said it meant to grow or to cultivate

seeing this make me proud as a filipino😘😅💜😍greetings from the Philippines

THIS SERIES IS GIVING ME LIFE 😍😍😍😍

So kapampangan 😍

This series is great

It's nice to see the other side if the world

I'm excited to visit next time I'm in town

Natutunan nalang natin sa ibang lahi so ung ginagawa nya lang ay natutunan nya katulad din ng mga lolo at lola natin nuon d man to ung original eto naman ung version nya just like every Filipino has there own versions there adobo sinigang and iba pa. Respect it and keep true to it. . .

Can't wait to try your food! Hopefully you'll open a restaurant here in the Bayarea too!

Thanks Chef Ellie!

YES! NATIVE KAPAMPANGAN DISHES!

No "this is how it should be done" comments please

As always filipino bash others that is not them. Lol when they see sucess they get angry and bash their work. Hahayz. More haters than supporters.

Aww they’re Kapampangan 😘

Sa Commonwealth lang pala 'to eh lapit lang hahahaha jk. Loving this series!

PLEASE BRING THIS TO MANILA I LIKE UR STYLE

Tanom or tanam means plant or planting..✌️🇵🇭

Pampanga!!!

Great and delicious😋😋😋

Wow. 💕 got me even more hungry.

bringha is also called "valensiana" in our region

I'm waiting for a Kapampangan here to post something like... "Real sisig does not have egg." Though seriously, I'm somewhat interested to see a fancy take on Filipino cuisine in the US. I will not pay 10 dollars (normal entree price. Could be far more expensive in the big US cities) for a "regular" adobo.

Nang kanyaman la reng pamangan!

That’s my friends son ! Philjay!

omg her bulanglang!! looks bomb!

I'm sure 99.9% She's half kapampangan. A lot of tiglao family here in pampanga especially in Mabalacat city.

Pretty sure she’s trying to say Tanom which is to plant in Bisaya tanam is Indonesian

I am a Filipino, but the foods showcased in this video looks so alien to me.

Kapampangan

I f#£$ wid this show! Hard. Really needed to see my culture explored through the lens of the American experience. Keep it up! Best wishes.

I am from Pampanga !

Nice food bucket listed!!!

Mekeni mangan tana!!(come here lets eat)

Wow. Kapampangaaan 🤙🏼

GAWD I MISS BRINGHE!

Busting out the Bringhe. Nice.

Did she ever make her Filipino restaurant!?

Just curious, what is exactly is a popup dinner?

I hope they taste good

Wow

If u want some authentic Filipino food in the US go to Cali like Palo Alto they got that authentic stuff there

Yaasa kapampangan roots!!

Vegan fish sauce or Vigan fish sauce?

Filipino food is the bomb these days, and it’s part of the Asian cuisine that has so much to offer. Speaking of Asian food, It always tastes better in Los Angeles compared to New York City, especially at those restaurants opened and operated by immigrants. Today on “Go Out On A LIM”, I am going to take you to three places that are my regular haunts whenever I visit LA. You can visit all three in one day like I did if you don't mind breaking the scale in your bathroom. Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r-jx6nW6r6k.html

Saan to sa Commonwealth? Matrapik lang diyan pero maka punta nga..

this is awesome!

How can you make fish sauce vegan? Haha. Also this series is the best!!

Kapampangan..

not one way to make dishes ever. if i believe my mom makes the best adobo and you argue your lola does, it just means there’s a lot of ways a dish can be prepared. at the end of the day, it’s your own palate’s satisfaction that will ultimately decide.

I wondered what is "tanam" means. Lol. She was referring to Tanim. 👏🏼😊😂

man. kapampangans take tremendous pride in their cooking. i don't know how to react to this to be completely honest.

karengpung kapampangan mipag debate nung bakit de inawus tidtad itang dinuguuan kase kareng alwa pu talga lugar pampanga alwa tamupu pamiawus keng pamangan keti pu central part of san fernando pag sinabi mi pung tidtad dinuguan yapu ita
