Do Mexican Dads Like Filipino Desserts? 

What’s your favorite dessert? 😋

Every Filipino out here screaming to MIX the Halo Halo!!🤣🤣

3:23 He knows the combo Bibingka and coffee, in the morning, in a hut, plus the gentle morning breeze. 10/10 to start your weekend.

Mexican Dads are not picky eaters. But they know what they like. And they apparently really like Filipino desserts.

OMGGG I HAD AN ASSIGNMENT ABOUT A COUNTRY AND I CHOOSE THE PHILIPPINES, I PICKED HALO-HALO AS THE FOOD TO TALK ABOUT, AND THEN THIS VIDEO SHOWS UP ❤❤❤❤

fun fact: the word 'puto' in puto bumbong comes from Tamil words, not from spanish. the original word is 'puttu' that means 'portioned'. in india, puto/puttu can be eaten as a sweet dessert or eaten with savory meals. putu is also popular in malaysia and indonesia as well

As a Filipino, I was frustrated seeing the papas eating the halo-halo without mixing it. The name literally translates to mix-mix. The mais con yelo was also supposed to be mixed.

mexican dads dissects each layering flavors of all those desserts like a pro, tasting and experiencing it, then explaining every part of any obvious ingredients and its flavor… they’re able to convey the experience to the audience.. very detailed food review, not overly attached because they love the food but they like the food as it is… compared it with some Mexican desserts but no judgement. pure and honest review… 👍👍👍.

I love these dads. No nonsense they speak with authenticity. Love em!

Filipino food in general is such a hodgepodge of different colors and ingredients, but it all comes together beautifully

Glad our Mexican dads loved our desserts! Puto Bumbong and Bibingka is a special dessert usually made or eaten during the Christmas season, it is meant to be eaten with tea and is usually sold after the Misa de Gallo (Simbang Gabi). Personally my favorite is Bibingka with salted egg on top of it.

thank you for presenting/trying FIlipino desserts! Bibingka & Puto Bumbong is normally sold & eaten during December or after Night Mass/Simbang Gabi in Filipino (devotional, nine-day series of Masses attended by Filipino Catholics in anticipation of Christmas.), but there are stalls that sell it everyday of the year.

Thank you for always appreciating my home country! 🇵🇭 Love to Mexico! 🇲🇽

Aw man. I was hoping to see my favorite on here, biko. My brother’s mother-in-law is Filipino and if I know she’s visiting, I get what she needs for my own personal biko. Love it. She loves that I know a lot about Filipino culture

Filipinos are the Mexican Asians. Filipino food is BOMB! Puro Pinoy!

To all these tios(titos) thank you for trying our food ❤️! I went to Mexico (Puebla & Mexico City) back in summer 2016 and the food there was amazing!!! Most importantly, the Mexican people were so kind ❤

I love watching these videos. I watch them on all the channels. And the Mexican dads are always the most kindest and most respectful of other cultures and of other peoples food. Thank you for continually giving us great videos without tearing down other people’s food. So wholesome ❤ Even if they don’t like something, they’re NEVER rude about it! Happy Father’s Day!

Idk if anyone has explained this but puto means little steamed cake and comes in different forms. In other parts of Asia they say putu (Indonesia/Malaysia) or putuh, puttu (India) a lot of words we have in The Philippines and Indonesia + Malaysia come from the Indian subcontinent. But it’s very funny cause the Philippines was also colonised by the Spaniards, however it’s not connected 😂

Nice to see Vicente again!! And all the papah’s of course!

As a Fil-Am, always curious to see the reaction when Spanish speakers try some delicious puto...😅 FYI the female version of the slur - the word with an "a" instead of an "o" at the end - has the same meaning in most Philippine languages as in Spanish. So that's the loanword we needed in the Philippines...

Papas you guys are so good to try “different” kinds of food!! Always game!

Vicente is back!

That guys that said Bibingka with coffee is spot on!!!! sometimes I order it in the afternoon with coffee just to relax.

I love their reactions, they really try to be not judgy to the flavor,,, they are very nice. I like how they appreciate the flavors,,

love the variety of desserts you guys put out

Flan is my favorite! SO good! 🍮🍮🍮🍮

Los mexicanos y los filipinos son hermanos de otro madre

Loving the dads so far! Kudos to the dads and the team ❤❤❤

It would be nice if y'all were to describe what the foods and drink consist of on all the videos

Dude, rarely is silvanas featured in vids like these but they are absolutely incredible. Glad these Mexican dads got to try it. They should try Sans Rival next if they loved Silvanas

The halo halo your supposed to mix. It literally translates to mix mix

Lots of similarities between Mexican and Filipino food Mainly due to the Spanish colonizing both places lol

I’m Filipino as well and African and when I have halo halo it’s purple and it has like a bit of corn flakes in it

That aromatic taste is most likely pandan leaves. They're used like vanilla is used for Mexican desserts. I definitely recommend them. I was told by a Thai lady that you can use pandan for tea for diabetes. Pandan is used essentially in the ASEAN region

Great desserts, please do a part 2. Suman, Sans Rival, Biko, Ginataang Bilo, Kutsinta, Taho, Mango Float, Carioka, Ube Hilaya, Ube brownies.

“Thats pretty damn f****** good” that came from the stomach and heart 😂

I am impressed at the variety of desserts that you featured and not just the stereotypes. Well done!

Gotta mix that halo halo same for the mais con hielo to bring out more flavor.

Filipino and Latin foods may look different, but as you dig deeper, you find a lot of similarities or familiarities, like when they would relate it to something similar that they can taste. Especially Mexico, because of our shared history. Galleon trade for 300 yrs, cross cultural exchange, most of it will survive in our food, although localized variations, it's great to rediscover. I eat a lot of Latin foods, but I was surprised to find the same or similar dishes from my Mexican, Puerto rican, Columbian, etc, friends like puchero, lecheon, champorado, bacalao, etc...

3:51 i knew this was coming and his laugh took me out!!

I DEMAND for the Manila- Acapulco Galleon (err... Container Cargo) Trade to be revived!!!!! hahahahha!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ im so happy that we get to connect with our Mexicousins from across the Pacific! ♥ ♥ ♥

Haha I love sago at gulaman. Besides tapioca pearls it consists of agar agar jelly called a) gulaman or b) grass jelly. (A is seaweed and b is a type of herb. Both turn into a jelly) and the brown sugar syrup with banana and vanilla extract. That’s why it tastes “different”

You know your cooking's good when a Mexican tells you that it takes like their mama or grandmama's cooking. Feels even better than having Gordon Ramsay telling you that it's good.

had a Mexican neighbor years ago when I was in NY. the dad loves those turon I made for their family. In turn, they made some quesadilla for me a day after.

Yeah! Vicentes back

I'm so glad seeing Mexican Dads trying Filipino desserts and liking it! Now lets get Filipino Dads trying Mexican Foods/Desserts 😄

Honestly I think we relate more to Latin cultures then Asian cultures. Don't get me wrong our Asian influence is really strong but the Spanish influence really shines through especially when comparing it with other Latin cultures.

And this is how I am learning Spanish Papah y Mamah

I was screaming internally when they started taking a sip on the halo halo without mixing it first. dang!!!!

YOU GUYS MISSED MANGO FLOAT , BUKO SALAD, YEMA, UBE HALAYA, BIKO , SUMAN, AND A LOT MORE WE NEED A PART 2!!

To get turon's brown glaze, you get melt butter and mix brown suger and water in a wok or pan. You then dip your already-fried turon or find some other way to coat the thing. Some folks like to add other things into their mixture or change up the sugar portions, so you do you.

Im a Filipino, and Im glad you like everything!

the comment about mais con hielo being "like a frozen esquite" -- I googled esquites and YEAH, that's a great comparison!

No wrap-up? (What did they like best, overall, etc?)

Vicente is back 🥰 I will watch the videos again 👍🏻

As a Mexican I got to say I love Filipino food so dam much

Maja Blanca is my favorite Filipino dessert.❤

For those that wanna try halo halo. Its served liked that with layers because it looks good presention wise but to get the full experience you have to mix it with a spoon. Make sure it blend well but dont crush or break the beans, gelo, and other ingredients too much because texture is just as much of the experience as the taste is. Its very good when you get the mixture of the tastes in your mouth. If you dont mix it you're basically just getting shaved ice with syrup and milk

All 3 did so well with all the desserts! 👏🏻

The third guy know his Filipino stuff ❤❤❤

Love this show ❤

i love how they think of the overlaps between mexican desserts bc there are some for sure!! also a lover of maja blanca over here, happy they like that one too

Definitely good selection and variety of Filipino desserts here. Kudos to whoever picked them.

I remember a comedian saying filipinos and mexicans are like brothers from another mother because we were both occupied by spain.😅

Hahahah! Very refreshing to see them try Filipino desserts!!! My favorite is Mango Float!!!

i had a filipino couzin ang bring over his Mexican Gf in phil. I treat most of the Filipino food i could offer she enjoyed it a lot though 😇😇

To really enjoy puto bumbong it should be warm just came out of the bamboo steamer. The heat will melt the butter on top. And on the sides freshly grated coconut, crushed peanuts and muscovato sugar. It's chewy because it's made from sticky rice and the color/flavor came from purple yam. It's a seasonal snack only prepared during "simbang gabi", Catholic mass held early morning (4 or 5AM) when there is still no daylight. Fyi.

I don't want to misquote Anthony Bourdain, but he essentially said "the more a country has been conquered, taken over, conquered again...over and over again by different cultures...the better their food is." He wasn't wrong, unfortunately. PH food is phenomenal. I literally stayed in a relationship too long with a girl from Cebu just because of her cooking haha When it comes to fried chicken, everyone talks about Southern American Black culture, or Korean....nah, Filipinos make the best fried chicken, no contest.

The traditional toppings for puto bumbong is Margarine Toasted Sesame seeds Sugar Coconut Shreds my grandma sell puto bumbong when i was a kid in front of our house.

Bibingka with coffee? YOU ARE HITTING IT SO RIGHT PAPA! 🎉

The producers of this episode didn't even try to instruct to mix the "halo-halo" which is the dessert literally means "mix-mix".

I love Mexican dads vs moms! They are way more open minded to try nee things and not as negative or set in their ways, it seems. Historically we have many ties to Mexico as we were colonized by the Spanish fleet stationed there. 300 years of destruction… before they sold us to the US, and lastly Japan invading during WW2. They all killed us in the thousands. Many of us were shipped to Mexico to work the plantations as the majority of the indigenous population had either been killed or died off due to Eurasian diseases. Many also ran off when reaching land, and there is still a small Filipino community in Mexico. We’re also distant related to all 1st nation/indigenous Americans, and Mexicans besides being Mestizo are also like the general Latin person Amerindians. Originally Latin people are white from Europe, the majority who identify as Latinos/Latinex today are Hispanic only, and descendants of the various indigenous tribes and cultures who got colonized. The Aztec actually called themselves Mexica in Nahuatl hence Mexico. And you can see their creation myth in the Mexican flag! Also we are not our colonizer, or the Spanish king that colonized us which our country is named after, yuck. Originally only those of Spanish blood born in our islands, was called Filipino, natives was referred to as indos. Yet we are neither Asian, nor black, but Austronesian. We have so many more deserts tho. Like I love puto pao with ube flavor. Cassava cake etc. And everyone makes it differently. Fun fact: historically our staple crop was taro not rice. Rice was introduced to us by Chinese immigrants during the colonial era.

this was so much fun to watch! really made my night better

Must be fun and educating to be around them in a group conversation for sure

Very good variety of Filipino snacks and desserts. The sylvanas are hard to get even in the Philippines so Im surprised to see it here. Our flan are usually made with pure eggyolks thus the denser consistency. Puto bumbong is best enjoyed with hot chocolate during Christmas season in the Philippines. Turon is the easiest to buy as they are sold in almost every street vendors here and they are affordable too. We use Saba banan in our version tho and not plantains. Great video guys!❤

Vicente is here. Yas

I can understand how we Filipinos get frustrated when the people behind the scenes (director or whatever) didn’t even tell the guests how to eat halo halo properly by mixing it haha! 😆 I think it’s a problem here in the Philippines too. Usually the waiters of a restaurant, they just serve the dish and the condiments or sauces to the foreigners without explaining how to eat them. You know like for example, eating Max’s fried chicken without the classic banana ketchup. The waiter could do a simple and short explanation to the foreigners that their fried chicken is good with banana ketchup and rice etc. Or like in Mang Inasal, the crew should explain it to the foreigners where to use the chicken oil, toyomansi etc. It’s like if I go to a Greek restaurant in Greece, I cannot just google how to eat this certain dish, or ask the waiter every time how to eat this dish, what’s this sauce for, or whatever haha! 😆 It should be the waiter explaining that in the first place once the dish is served.

The halo-halo thing aside, the Mexican fathers have great personalities and I love it!

Yeah i could never argue, being born after the spanish regime, eating foods since i learned to chew inspired by spansih and other country influences, i could say mexicans and filiponos kinda have the same tastebuds

The best way to eat halo-halo is to mix all the ingredients, including the ice cream, thoroughly. Once everything is well mixed, enjoy!

Well, you couldn't really get puto bumbong on traditional stores like Groceries or other stores but you could get it on the stalls in streets & malls or in the sidewalk vendors. Also, it was on demand during Christmas

I bet that Mexican will dig the southern Filipino Deserts like from Batangas and Cavite. Not overly sweet yet so well encorporated corn and Galapongs. Very much Chino-Mexicano fusion of deserts

This totally made me smile.

You should do my papa😭😂

They need to add the suka as a dip for the lumpia or a sweet chili dip so it gives another flavor and becomes 2x more delicious

3:22 woah, you got it. We eat that with coffee in the morning. Same with suman etc.

Mexican dads are cool theyre like my dad ..they give no fuzziness at all and appriciates what you lay on their table w/o making face 😂

Halo-halo literally means mix-mix.. You gotta mix them up for full flavor.

lovely reactors, sweet as the desserts haha, i also like the wide variety of filipino desserts you let them try, great job

The 3rd dad was always feeling it😂 i love him lol

Filipino here, i'm not sure if everyone would agree but lemme know with my hot take: I dont necessarily label rice cakes as a dessert, it's a category on its own, eaten at merienda or afternoon snack or in the morning for breakfast commonly paired with hot cocoa or coffee, that's why it is bland on its own, pretty much a lot of rice cakes are. Anyway, I find it very nice to know that these dads enjoyed most of our desserts and they even equate it with their own food. Salamat guys!

You guys offered a pretty comprehensive suite of desserts. Good job. Just forget to mix the halo halo. But in most videos people don't mix it for some reason, so no biggie.

pls if you’re gonna make people try halo-halo ALWAYS tell them to MIX it. halo-halo literally means mix-mix in english. you get all the flavor & texture when you mix it.

This is why I love the Filipino's; their food is great, and we have a lot in common! Food, language, and all sorts of nice things. I find it strange how we Mexicans are essentially mixed with everyone from Africans to Asians to Caucasian people, but when I was a child, I never understood that stuff then I got older, and everything makes sense now. Though would it be possible for a Latino man to date a Filipina woman or a Filipino man to date a Latina woman? There were Filipina women in my high school, but as an Introvert trying to talk to new people in general makes me feel like dying and I tend to overthink things 😂😂

These dads are wonderful ambassadors, as a Greek person could I ask that you introduce them to Greek food? I would love to see their reactions ❤

"This one is called Puto (Bumbong)." I love the Halo=Halo (like from either: Magnolia Ice Cream, Jolibee's or Max's of Manila restaurant).

Muchas gracias tio

Feels like watching your long lost cousins try your dishes for the first time. 😂

As a filipino, halo halo is a dessert literally means mix mix. You have to mix the ice cream, shaved ice, and other ingredients to eat it and best eaten with a spoon and not as a drink. The only way I can describe halo halo is that it's like shaved ice and acai bowl had a baby; both of those are eaten by a spoon.

Did they eat the puto bumbong without Paldo/Muscovado sugar or Panocha? Perhaps that’s why they found it quite bland, I myself would not eat it with just mantequilla and coconut! They are all so sweet with their comments on Filipino food, thank you!
