P.S. Stay away from the pretentious chefs here. You dont want to be around these people. Chef culture here is different from Canada or the US. I strongly suggest you stay away from these toxic back stabbing people and find real home cooks who know the deep set traditions of true Filipino taste. Not chefs who think they know better.
Tupig is like the traditional "pasalubong" or "souvenir" in english, here in our Province, you'll literally see that in every bus stop so that every commuter will be able to buy for their family
Since 1945, because Max's first customers were GI Joes. American soldiers were served in his house in the Philippines. The American soldiers loved the fried chicken so much that they suggested to create a restaurant and the rest is history.
Oh my gosh.....are you sure you're foreigner? American even? Man the way you handle the chicken with your hand.......veeeerrrryyyy Filipino 😊 thumbs up for that. 👍
The chicken at Max's doesn't have any coating not even flour ...the Jufran banana catsup is a staple for Max's...but there are other brands... Btw bibingka is commonly available during the Christmas season as well as puto bungbong serve with salabat (ginger tea) after going to the dawn masses
To cook the longanisa, first boil it in water in a frying pan. Be careful of the cooked longanisa, poke it with a fork to let the water ooze out if it accumulated inside the sausage. It may surprise you if you accidentally puncher the sausage with your spatula when turning it. The water is hot so be very careful if it splatters on your hand. Once the water boils off, continue to fry it in it's own oils to brown it. If the one you bought has sugar, it will start to carmelize & leave your pan with a carmel mess which will make your pan hard to clean once the longanisa is all cooked. It is a 2 step process: cook in water first, then fry in oil next. Good luck. In the end, it will be all worth your time & effort. Watch a RU-vid video of a Filipino cooking longanisa.
If you can find Suman from Dumaguete (and nearby islands) called Budbud Kabog.. It is made from Millet cereal and not Rice.. It is the best Suman I tasted.. Just heat it in the microwave on medium for a minute and voila.. It is best eaten with a thick Filipino Dark Chocolate drink from a “Tablea”..
I love fresh cooked bibingka...it's to die for when it's freshly cooked! you can taste a bit of the charcoal toasted taste with coconut flakes ooohh damn
@@unculturedtravel I like the Chicken of course and also you should try that Embotido its good. Although honestly I haven't tried their embotido. We do that ourselves at home and I like eating it with garlic fried rice and ketchup
That’s not the real traditional bibingka. They use the coconut husk ( bunot ng niyog) to cook it. Glad you liked the fried chicken at Max. Not too crazy about embutido. It’s a meatloaf and not my fav 😂 You should try halo halo though.
One of the Co- Owners of Max's fried Chicken QC is my mom's friend they call they call themselves Lord's Tuesday Group they help prayer meeting and mission works they are compose of wives who are Philippine Gens etc .. when i was in college my mom often bring me to Scout Lozano where the Original restaurant was .. i miss going there where memories are so precious and so timeless
It's great you went for that tupig. it seems very simple but the grilling and the slightly burnt banana leaf adds complexity to the flavor of the rice cake inside. Haven't had those in ages. Also, some note in pronouncing Filipino dishes/words, just use the same vowel sounds used in Spanish, so for 'a' it's always "ah" and never "ey". And dissect each word into syllables, most of the time, one syllable contains a consonant and a vowel, unless there's an 'NG' which is usually read as one sound together as it is considered a consonant in the Filipino alphabet. Si-ni-gang, ti-no-la, ba-go-ong, bi-bing-ka
Yes try Embutido if you haven't yet so good and try different flavors of Polvoron if it's available Goldilocks has the best Polvoron. Also try Pastillas.
add a little water in the pan. half or a quarter of a cup will do. put the longganiza in and let it boil until all water evaporates. but before it thorougly evaporates, use a fork and punch holes on the longganiza so that the oil inside will oozee out. fry it in its own oil until it caramelizes ito dark and reddish color. cook evenly on all sides. be careful not to over burn the sugar. hell to clean up afterwards. add oil if you think its not enough. enjoy!
Wow! I am surely gonna try that. Banana catsup and Worcestershire sauce combined. We always have those at home but never in my life or imagination would try that on chicken. Thank you Sir. ☺️
You're such a dedicated vlogger on the topic of Filipino food. You really should be getting more subscribers. I suggest that you mix it up from time to time by trying to re-create a few dishes at home where you can just create a snack, dessert, or meal from the ingredients you've picked up based on certain recipes suggested to you. Check out some of the older vlogs (over 6 years ago) made by Australian chef Chris Urbano about Filipino culinary culture so you'll see some trends and background explanations.
Look up some vlogs or recipes about Filipino pork barbecue skewers that are marinated overnight with a Sprite or 7-Up mix. Cook enough for your friends and relatives or hand them out to people on the street to get their reactions. Have some Filipino snacks, drinks, or desserts handy as backup.
Actually, Max's prides themselves in not hiding their chicken behind breadings and coatings. KFC came to the Philippines with their trademark breaded chicken so Max's continued to offer their "naked" fried chicken.😉
Come to Philippines to increase your youtube audiences.. Like the korean guy Filipino Boo, Your content is the same with him. Experiencing Filipino Culture. Your content is great atleast you trying everything and learning pinoy words
wow, you are eating with hands now like a true Filipino without using any utensils. next time try to find a Restaurant that offers a BOODLE FIGHT we wanna see you devour the dishes included in boodle fight
what kind of restaurant that doesn’t allow you to switch your sides to fries to rice when you’re a filipino joint, wait until andoks or baliwag chicken open a franchise here the states they’re both of the chain!
