Dinakdakan and Insarabasab Filipino Pulutan (Drinking Food) with Nico Bolzico and Erwan Heussaff 

Whenever I see Erwan and Nico together I always remember Nico's speech on Erwan and Anne's wedding where he tell's Erwan "Erwan your smart, good looking, your self driven, your succesful, you push me to work out, you cook for me and takes care of me that sometimes I feel like I married the wrong Heusaff" 😂😂😂

Erwan = straight to the point and serious Nico = unpredictable and never boring Perfect Balance ;)

I do appreciate Sir Erwan that you feature two ilocano dishes and add some twist. However, the word insarabasab itself means grilling the fresh meat over a high flame. The meat is seasoned with rock salt only and put it directly over the flame. The high heat quickly cooks the meat outside forming a bit of crust and traps the moist inside making it super soft. As you slice the meat, you can see some fat oozing. In some instances, the doneness is medium rare, that is the reason why they put calamansi or vinegar, to cook through those meat that is not well done. They put chopped onions and a splash of soy sauce (optional). This dish maybe formed in the earlier years because of the “pauraga”. A group of men will butcher a pig in the backyard. The best part will be sold to the neighborhood. Those unwanted parts like the belly (too much fat), the pig’s head that includes the snout, face, ear and brain were left behind. Those parts are quite hairy and it entails a lot of work to remove. The easiest way is to toast it over the high flame to burn the hair, cook the meat for a bit and serve as their pulutan. That is insarabasab.

You both need to be together more often. You make every viewing such a pleasure. Thanks for making us your fans smile amid all these problems we are facing. God bless you guys!

Nico is THAT groupmate haha. Nico needs an Argentinian segment where he cooks with his parents on facetime and they teach him what to do lol

Erwan: .. and we need some pork brain Nico: so we are definitely be reviving a pork 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nico is effortlessly making me laugh everytime 😂

Nico will always be the definition of what we Pinoys call as "sutil"

This is technically a version of there own. They have disclaimer on the video naman that their nor gonna be fire/charcoal grilling so its fine. Insarabasab technically means flame grilled.. so it something smoky. While dinakdakan is mostly boiled and mayo is not commonly added rather the pigs brain alone which sometimes we also call it warek-warek. Ilocano dinakdakan can be just seasoned with salt, pepper, red onions and vinegar and the common meat used are the innards such as intestines and liver and a little of pork meat. Again its their own version and nothing wrong about it.

I'm from Pangasinan, and its nice to see erwan cooking dinakdakan haha. Thanks Erwan.

I love that you featured this dishes. The way that the Dinakdakan was prepared works, while for the Insarabasab, you have to grill them, personally I'll grill them without seasoning and then season them when assembling.

Nico's reaction and erwans laugh was hilarious 😂

Insarabasab in ilocano means "inihaw" in open fire. Anyways you guys did good. Cheers erwan and nico! Nag imas deyta!

Dinakdakan from ilocandia, nung umuwi yung kapampangan nilagay sa sizzling plate boom naging sisig! 😆😆😆

More vlogs with Nico please. He is very funny especially with his sound effects 😂

Everytime erwan cooks filipino food why do i feel like it's the sosyal version hahhaha

I just love how erwan is never bothered like he sticks to what he's actually doing even if nico is like continuously murmuring nonsense words and such 🤣

All of my favorite episodes from both yours and Wil's channel are whenever Nico is in the vid. Just sayin. 🤣🤣🤣

Really love watching both of you together. Hilarious af without even trying! ❤

Love that you are showcasing these amazing dishes!🥰🥰🥰 I hope you also show other versions of dinakdakan😉 I grew up eating dinakdakan, and it's very different from what you just showed us so I hope you can also do an Igorot Style Dinakdakan🤗🤗🤗 I'd be happy to share my family recipe🤪

"you cannot go wrong with fried Pig" quote of the day haha

This is some top-tier version of the Ilocano dishes Dinakdakan and Insarabasab. It is more common in Ilocandia to grill the maskara and the meat right after boiling it. The smokiness will add more flavor to the acidity of the vinegar and/or calamansi. Anyways, kudos! ✨

Erwan and Nico has a great chemistry.

💛💛💛🥃

More episodes with Nico please, he is hilarious!

Omg hahaha idea for Christmas magiinom kami ng family ko ehile eating that💗

Its always funner and funnier when nico is around. U should introduce nico to ninong ry, sir erwan. That could be a hilarious collab, right?

The "MR & GENTLEMAN'S" really got me lmao 😂😂😂😂😂

we need caption/subtitles whenever nico is guesting HAHAHAHA jk

You guys are like the jimmy fallon and Steve Higgins of the Philippines. The vibes that they both give each other syn in together.

did I learn something, I don't know, just laugh the whole time!😂luv these guys!😁Cheers!🍸🍷

My ilocano ancestors are proud u used real pig brain rather than mayo.👌🏽

Hahaha..Nico deserve a comedy acting..very natural personality..❤❤❤..

Erwan and Nico I would like to say you're doing an excellent job in vlogging. We love that you both in keep on vlogging. Love to watch them all. Congrats!😘

Sobrang kamukha ni Erwan dito si Dahlia :D

Dinakdakan😍😍 Requesting Pinapaitan recipe for your next video🙂

don't tell me after all that introduction, you're gonna do it on the rocks 😂😂😂

Yummy pulutan💖🎉👌🏼

Whenever you two get together it's always a blast and so funny! Awesome job guys! Really enjoying your content!

erwan:magluluto tayo ng pulutan.. nico:mamumulutan ako habang nagluluto ka.. 😂😂😂

I miss ya' guys! That's fancy #pulutan there! 💎✨👌

I am Proud Ilocano! Good Job Guys! Naimas ti Dinakdakan ken Insarabasab. Mangan Tayon!

Effortlessly fun with Nico as always

great way to feature dishes like this. Even tho there are ways that has been altered but still it looks great. What I'm disappointed is that the brand advertisement almost took over the duration of the video. But still good job erwan.

Dinakdakan na fry? Sarabasab na fry? I don't know Lang Kung ganun po ang ibang parte Ng norte pero sa Amin sa isabela that was not the way na iluluto.. Both po silang grilled and Yung utak Sana inilagay sa plastic Ng Hindi maihalo sa tubing habang naluluto.....😊

I used to eat dinakdakan when I was studying in Baguio. I know dinakdakan is grilled pork meat and the brain looks very white unlike what is being shown here where it was mixed with egg yolk. And it's heaven.

Year end compilation of all the times Nico claps when making content/videos?

Really love ❤ 😍 💖 the video 💘 😻 📹. Subscribed to channel for more amazing videos 👏 📹 ✨.

People in phil would say 'Buti pa ang dinakdakan may utak' - roughly translated dinakdakan is better than others for having brain. Carry on, guys great vid.

You guys should make a lot of videos together! 😂

One of the most entertaining food show I have ever watched. :) More please!

😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣 my face from start until the end of this video. 😁😁😁🤣🤣🤣

they have chemistry..make me smile while watching 😊😊

Best couple ever💖 🤣

Insarabasab is from the root word “insarab” means the meat should be cooked in fire. Direct fire, charcoal or in a gas bbq grill.

No one pulutan where goinng out the pilino called dinakdakan

Erwan is the Fat Kid Inside; Nico is that Kid your Nanay wouldn't want running around in the kitchen cause he'll have lots of questions and wanna try everything....LOL 🤣🤣🤣

Pangasinense here😊😊

Insarabasab and Dinakdakan are the dishes where Sisig was copied from. In fact, its not coincidence that all Kapampangan dishes are either Spanish dishes or recipes from other Philippine provinces. Kapampangans copy dishes, make their version out of it then make it their own.

Stop cooking Filipino dishes! You murdered our sacred homegrown Ilocano dishes! It is our identity and heritage. Do not mock our cuisine! Stick with your Beef Bourguignon and souffles!

Hmmm...boil it then grill, that's dinakdakan. Regardless if its mayo or pig's brain, it should be boiled then grill. White onions, kalamansi, green chilli and leeks.

I really love nico's sense of humor😆😂

Watching ths made me miss my hometown. Lalo ung dinakdakan version ng brother at father ko😅 haha yow!!

"Insarabasab" is an Ilocano word " grilled on fire", kinda cooked rare, more like a "Kilawin" and if add the brain into it... it is called "dinakdakan". So, frying it is very wrong.

Hahahuhu tawa lang sa full episode na 'to.

Mmm. Pig brains remind of that Parts Unknown Thai episode. A really fun one with a slight parasite scare.

They way Nicko saying, "Yeah, but no brain on it" . Should be a meme! And it replay button hahahahaha

I just died when nico said " so were gonna try to revive the pork" looooooooooooooooooooooooooool

Ito yung magbayaw na parang magkapatid na. RAPSA lodi.

Insarabasab - Flame grilled Easy and quick to make pulotan. It's a tradition for most of ilocano butchers to drink alcohol while butchering and the easiest fastest way to make pulotan is to fire grill a meat no boil needed, usually in a ilocano traditional fire wood stove (dalikan). Just add salt pepper onion ginger vinegarand and in just 7-10mins you have pulotan

The locals usually grilled is but yes for restaurant and quick food frying is more convenient but grilling it will give the meat different level more smoking and taste which i preferable for me

I really love Nico's humor. Both of you made a good balance for the cooking vlog. I hope to see you both again on your future vlogs erwin. Btw I'm a fan of yours since I red your blog before, which is fat kid inside before you started out your youtube channel Never you did inspired me during that time.

Solenn’s boyfriend is so annoying. He done butchered the video.

meron pa niyan imbaliktad of ilocano, iniihaw nmn

As mentioned too many times by Nico. He married the wrong huessaff 🤣
