This Chef is making Filipino Food World-Class | Ep. 04 

For you, what part of the Philippines has the best food? 🇵🇭

Here's the thing about Filipino food culture. We emphasize home cooking, more than anything else. While the rest of Asia has a strong street food environment, in the Philippines, street food is just to tide you over until you get home. Almost every expat here that hates Filipino food says the same thing: "The food is terrible, but my Filipino wife is a great cook", you will hear variations of this all through out. The "Carinderia" culture was never meant to produce "good" food (though some do), it has always been about producing cheap base dishes and you as the consumer will make palatable with condiments. This is why the Philippines has dozens of condiments available all the time. Another issue is the anti-Filipino sentiment in South East Asia. Practically every SEA country (except Vietnam and Indonesia) has a negative perception of the Philippines, and rejects cuisine from the country. The country has always been hated due to it's multicultural roots, in a region that likes to emphasize on the purity of their culture. The Philippines food has roots in Spanish, Indian, and Chinese cooking, with a base of Malay cooking. The Philippines produced some of the very fist fusion dishes in the world. But we still have a long way to go. Until the government actually start implementing standards for carinderias, the impression of Filipino food would not change. Street food is the door to the cuisine for every country, and this is an area where the country fails.

I want to thank the kind chef returning back to the country giving jobs to his people and most of all sharing his knowledge and just being a good human being God bless you Sir more power to you

I am a filipino working in Tunisia North Africa.thank you for making filipino food that you can show to the world... Thumbs up to me🔔

“Train soldiers not just to fight. Train soldiers to win the battle. “ Beautifully said from an amazing chef. Great vlog. Keep it up. Greetings from NYC.

Chef boy logro is also underated chef. . . Becoming 1st Filipino executive chef.

You can not find a better Filipino representative than Chef Sau. The jokes and laughters behind a long period of hardship and sacrifice. Seems like an excellent man.

Love chef Sau. He boosts Filipino dish to a higher level.

Chef Sau is a true Filipino at heart. Thank you for inspiring us. 🇵🇭🙏🏼

We have different types of taste in Philippines... As a Filipino citizen I experienced traveling to the northern and southern part of the country and was able to taste the dishes... I'm from Luzon Island in tarlac province. Capampangan or kapampangan foods and desserts are really the best!

The French are famous for your delicious cooking thanks for appreciating humble Filipino cuisine. Bon Apetite'!

The ingredients are very fresh and the food looks really delicious!

Salut, Nelson et John ! Merci beaucoup for showcasing the Filipino Cuisine. I hope this is just the beginning of your Filipino Gastronomy Finds. Looking forward to seeing more. I wish you guys collablrate with Erwnn Heusaff too. By the way, I've been in France depuis deux ans. Amazing country and with great people, culture, food and tradition. Bon courage !

Good story, well presented!!

Sending virtual hugs to Chef Sau. Felt u there. God continuesly bless ur pure heart.

This video is so serene, classy, informative, and appetizing. But, as a Filipina, all I could think about while seeing you eat that delicious food was, Where is the rice?!?! Hmm I was watching the chef and noticed he looks like my dad and one of his brothers when they were younger. Then, I saw Chef has the same last name as my dad, del Rosario. My son is also a cook and aspiring chef. I’d love to take him to these restaurants some day. Merci beaucoup for this video!

Beautiful visit salamat and mabuhay

My father is from Pampanga, and my mom a Visayan Chinese descent. I grew up having different types of local foods at home which I think they are all the best. Soon we will be in Manila to enjoy those dishes that we miss from different islands of the Philippines. So proud to our Chef and more power to all of you! Merci! Watching from Vancouver.

Wowww!!! Merci!. New subscriber here.

Wow I didn’t realize chef has all of this restaurant’s! The last time i saw him in RU-vid was when he was educating everyone about pampanga dishes n his plans there for a restaurant.

this should be the right representation of our food...I may not have the opportunity to go to these restaurants but if we are to offer to the world our food, culture and tradition, for me, it should not only be unique and tasty but may also be done with class...

I miss you guys....it's good to see you again in PH...😍😍😍😍😍😍🍓🍎💘💋

I just want to thank u for promoting our food

I cannot visit Saw-Saw and Café Fleur when I go home to my beloved Pinas! Thank you for this Vlog! Viva Chef!

Thank you for bringing our filipino dish into a higher level..❤❤❤ Godbless

Every part of the Philippines has delicious food. You are right the world knows asian foods as chinese, japanese or vietnamese food. But filipino foods is unique at times with spanish influence.

Thank you chef for this awesome content.. from 🇨🇦 🍁 but 💯 Pinoy.. Following you guys

Thank you to the both of you in introducing our classic filipino food and style of how to prepare it fresh from market to the kitchen up to the table.

Wow sinigang and kinilaw looks so yummy 😋 🤤

Wow!sinunod lahat pati color coding

Proud of you..God bless..

Thank you so much chef....and to you 2 french sir

Watching here thanks for sharing nice food pilipino delicious

Wow! ♥️♥️

Filipino food is as good as any. Like all Canadian cities, Toronto is multi-cultural and I tried a lot of cuisines from Greek, Mexican, Thai, etc. The problem is Filipino restaurants don't care much about presentation compared to Thai and Japanese, etc. I love taro leaves cooked in coconut milk but it looks like cow patty on top of rice the way it is served. Sometimes they even serve soup in styro foam cups.

Nice!

Wow....thats my favorite sinigang ang kinilaw masarap, malinamnam soooo yummy love it❤❤❤❤

Thanks for Sharing Pilipino food.

Super..good presentation..I agree that Pampanga has a lot to offer in terms of food.

Sinigang oh lalaaa.da best

Ay tlga bonga may mga foriegner ayos na ayos ah

I had the privilege of having a short yet memorable interaction with Chef Sau during the 30th SEA Games in Clark, Pampanga in 2019. As a volunteer, we only had certain times in a day to go to the mess hall inside the Athletes Village to eat. Unlike the athletes' buffet (which is exclusive to them and replenished with food 24/7), the volunteers had to manage with whatever was left on our own buffet. At that time, probably around late in the afternoon, the buffet was yet to be replenished, so I had to satisfy myself with some sandwiches (which were the only ones available at that time). Chef Sau came out from the kitchen, greeted the volunteers who were at the buffet, and he even told me to wait for the tocino to be cooked. What a kind-hearted man, he is! Looking at his SEA Games apron that he wore in this video, I cannot help but be reminded of his warm hospitality and generosity despite the hustle and bustle of the Games. Mabuhay ka, Chef Sau! Ipinagmamalaki ka ng lahing Pilipino! God bless you even more, in Jesus' name! 👨🏻‍🍳🤗🙏🏻💖🇵🇭

Merci a vos deux for showcasing filipino cuisine too! Allo from Quebec!
