@@DelightfulTravellers That is true, sorry I forgot. I hope you both can enjoy Dominican music with Juan Luis Guerra. it is a classic artist with merengue, bachata, and other tropical fusion music. I will need to interview both of you, probably when I visit DR in March. Greetings from Ottawa, it is -6 C here.
I feel so sorry for you …having to eat all that delicious food, and on a beach. 😉. As much as I Ike your channel, I don’t know how much more of this I can take . Cheers from -10C. Stay safe guys, Dan. ✌️🇨🇦
Anna, I found your videos about a month ago, and have watched a good number of them. Just wanted to point out that mangú and mofongo do not have corn in them. Mangú is, basically, mashed boiled plantains with some sort of grease added for extra moisture. It can be oil or butter, some people put some grated cheese in it. Mofongo is made with baked or fried plantains, to which raw garlic is added, it is accompanied with a garlic base broth that should be used to keep the mofongo moist, and with some sort of protein, usually pork rinds.
Absolutely loved the video and the way you guys explained what you were experiencing as you tasted the food. Dominican seasoning is very simple. We Dominicans do not like hot spices therefore our spices concist of - Salt, Oregano,Garlic,Onions. Mainly. Our Meats must be washed with clean water and lime or sour Oranges. Keep those videos coming :)
As a Dominican a really really appreciate what you guys are doing, showing the world the good things about my DR and what the country really looks like .
When you both have a bit time try this ones too. Pasteles en Hojas aka Beef Pockets (They are like tamales but instead of corn we use plantains an another roots vegetables), Catibias (Cassava Empanadas), Casabe(Cassava Bread) with queso de hoja(soft cheese), Moro de Guandules(Rice with pigeon peas), Moro de Habichuelas negras(rice with blackbeans), Mondongo (Tripe Soup)
Seeing both of you guys delighted with out food put a huge smile in my face. La bandera o arroz, habichuelas y carne is literally what’s eaten everyday for lunch. I believe what makes Dominican food special is the seasoning and the care put on the kitchen with every dish. There’s still many things unique to the island you need to try: habichuelas con dulce, arepas dominicanas with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee, berenjenas guisadas, Dominican cake (any cake made in the country), tres leche, batida de lechosa, batida de zapote, mondongo, chivo, guandules guisados con coco, bacalao guisado, bistec encebollado, domplin de San Cristobal, cerdo asado, lechón, chivo, rabo, dulces dominicanos…. Well that was a lot. Keep enjoying it!
I enjoy your videos, it really makes me miss my country even more since I don’t live in the island anymore. You guys should check out the mountains. The towns of Villa Pajon, Jarabacoa, or and Sajoma/San Jose de las Matas. Those towns are beautiful with spring weather, something at night even close to freezing weather. Thanks for sharing so many positive things about my country.
Something most dominicans dont seem to understand is that people that come from cold places like Canada, Russia or any part of Europe are not interested in the mountainous parts of DR, because they're running away from cold weather, so im not gonna come from, say, Russia all the way to the caribbean only to encounter cold weather and pine trees. Places like jarabacoa and Constanza might be exotic for us dominicans, but for europeans and canadians, it's boring, lame and a waste of time. There's a reason why 90% of tourist activity in DR is concentrated in the prestine tropical beaches of Punta Cana, the beautiful scenery of Puerto Plata and the lush jungles of Samana. Who wants to see a bunch of boring old pine trees coming from a place like Canada. Its like a dominican from Punta Cana travelling to the US only to take a dip in the beaches of Florida, which are beautiful, but nothing compared to dominican beaches.
Hello Trevor and Ana, I am a native Dominican, living in the US for over 30 years. Love my beautiful Dominican Rep. Hoping you will visit Playa las Aguila it is the MOST beautiful beach in DR and one of the best in the world!!
Oh wow the food looks absolutely delicious 😍 the presentation alone is just pretty but I can imagine how amazing it all tasted. Beautiful place where you both went
Hello from the big apple. That dish called mangu in the Dominican Republic is made of green plantain which are peeled and cooked in salted water to taste, reserve a little of the water in which the green plantain was cooked, then do the same as if you were making mashed potatoes.Add butter if you like or you can do what many Dominicans do, we fry in a little olive oil, chopped red onion, add lemon juice or sour orange to the onion and salt to taste and and mix with the green plantain puree.In Cuba they call it FuFu as well as in some African countries where it comes from.
Great video 😎u have to try asopado de camarones or asopado de pollo. also, locrio de pollo or Moro de guandule or Moro de habichuela negras con chivo and don’t forget the avocado 🥑 on the side 🤓
El secreto de que nuestro pollo es tan sabroso esta en los condimentos que utilizamos! Ajo, cebolla ,oregano, ajies,cilantro. Típicos de nuestra cocina Dominicana! 🇩🇴😁. Si lo haces guisado quemamos un poco de azucar para que se caramelice con un poco de aceite y echamos la carne! Con otras carnes se puede hacer lo mismo. Asado es otra técnica! Gracias por este video tan maravilloso de nuestro pais🇩🇴🇩🇴😘
Happy Three Kings Day! You're right about Sancocho, it usually has 7 different types of meat but it doesn't necessarily have to be from different animals but it can be 7 different cuts from the same animal.
The mangu has a story behind. 1916 during the American intervention, Americans tried mangu for the first time and one them just said Man it’s good, so the locals abbreviated it into the Spanish version and started calling it mangu. 😆
Nice video! If you haven’t done yet, I would suggest you guys try a VERY dominican sweet dish called “Habichuelas con Dulce” (Sweet Red Beans). This is usually eaten during Easter but you could probably find it year-round. It’s made with red kidney beans, milk (usually a combination of cow and coconut milks), sugar, cinnamon, gloves and sweet potatoes (not the orange kind but the local “batata”), and some people also add to it raisins. Some people also like to eat their “Habichuelas con Dulce” with toasted “Casabe” (which is also a very typical type of Dominican yucca toast like bread). This sweet beans (I love them) can be eaten hot, cold or room temperature. If you like yucca, there are some very typical dominican fried empanadas made with a yucca “dough” (made also with different savory fillings) called “Catibias”. Bon appetite!
Guys love the channel! Since you're in cabarete you should do a day trip and try the 27 charcos de damajuana Is right in the mountain of Puerto Plata and it's basically a river adventure where you make your way down from the mountains in the river. Good luck and keep putting out this great content.
I love your food vlogs! The dishes look amazing. Traditional food is always the best! Thank you so much! I would be interested in learning what spices are used in the preparation (red and yellow seem to be the dominant colours so I'm guessing annatto, allspice and maybe ginger)
Actually Dominican spices are quite simple. Just salt, garlic, onions, pepper, cilantro, oregano and some other fresh herbs depending on the dish. The secret is fresh ingredients and a lot of love.
today Sunday I'm no work today just chill in bed in Santiago I think I have time to catch up . I like I said I love your channel you guys enjoy the local experience
Mangú is literally just mashed plantains with lots of butter, when the plantain is been boiled the salt is added to the water, and while is been mashed you pour a little bit of water and is done.
Real Dominicans ask for El concon when eating La Bandera. We mix it with beans and meat sauce. I recommend you to come to Moca and try the real mofongo. Sorry for my bad English.
Thanks a lot, I went from dabbing at my mouth with a napkin while eating homemade ham soup to requiring a towel for all my drool after watching your video 😂😂😂.
Yummy video, im craving some sancocho in this cold new jersey weather, guys next time you need to try pastelón which is like a lasagna but made with sweet plantains instead of pasta, also try arroz chofàn 😋
You make me hungry guys! That was a small mofongo try to find a real mofongo there 😆 I prefer it with pork. Following you from Santo Domingo I miss to go to Cabarete and Sosua town, great place to visit.
I am from cabarete so happy you find my home town so enjoyable.... you told about a mountain trip, try going to Jarabacoa gorgeous town( horse back riding to waterfalls is a most and you can get there by car too) try Parador de Jesus for the ribs on the way to Jarabacoa ... paragliding is available in jarabacoa... and next to Constanza... it's beautiful to see where the vegetables are grown in DR, the land scape is amazing. In a 4x4 you can go to a place where there is an ancient sun clock in Constanza
Hi, we love watching your videos and hope to meet up with you someday in Cabarete. I know you like your food. We have traveled to Dominican a few times and each time they tell us to not drink the water, only bottled water. Other people tell us to stick to fried foods so as not to get sick. What is your advice on food? How to avoid getting sick?
Hi yes I'm dominican and with love mangu and with call that los tres golpe salami cheese and huevo and with aet avocado 🥑 with avery food your guys make me hungry
Can you do a video trying out the two most famous Dominican coffee? I’m talking about Café Santo Domingo and Café Mamá Inez, thanks. I really like Dominican coffee because its so freaking natural and fresh.
Mangu is boiled plantain mashed up usually with red onion Mofongo is fried green plantain usually with garlic n chicharon Mangu can be made of sweet plantain or green plantains Mofongo is made with green plantains only
Hi, guys! Although I don’t know why you would cook, could you take us to a grocery store and perhaps compare costs of cooking your meals as opposed to eating out. Great vlog!❤️
you need to try domplins from san cristobal, also try chenchen con chivo, and also try Chambre which is a soup of beans with meat on it.. really good.. and dont forget to try the Morir Sonado Juice
@@sytema Pero el video se trata de comida dominicana, no comida haitiana. Eso no es típico dominicano. Eso es como mandarlos a comer papas fritas solo porque vino de USA a RD. No tiene lógica. 😂
I think you ate too much food for one day 🤣 but we Dominicans love to cook and eat. Our gastronomy is very interesting and we cook with very fresh ingredients. ✨🇩🇴✨😍✨ glad you enjoy it.
Wow all that food looks delicious 😋 brings back plenty of memories, hope u guys keep having a great time, since I can't here in NYC and expecting snow tomorrow 😪, wondering if you guys would consider going to samana, I heard it's gorgeous, stay safe and keep up with the good work 👏
You guys should go to Puerto Plata and talk to locals. They waited many decades for an investment like Taino Bay to come true. The dictatorship during the 1960s promised a lot. Now finally the Dominican Government is building what the dictatorship promised decades ago and people are happy.
