Oh man!! This makes me miss the Philippines so much! <3 I miss eating all
of those. The "Ube" pancake is purple yam, a super popular flavor for just
about anything in the Philippines :)
+Hilah Cooking, I don’t know about L. A. but there is a substantial
Filipino community in Orange county with lots of markets and restaurants
with Filipino foods.
That would be amazing if you could!! If you can’t though, you can always
just get a jar of Ube from the Asian store, and mix it in pancake batter 🙂
My Aunt does it that way.
+We Are The Strange I wonder if I can find it fresh here!
Palawan is in The Philippines and is pronounced Puh LAW un.
Ube is a purple yam (sweet potato to many people) Taro is a root plant
with giant leaves and they grow wild all over The Philippines. The roots
resemble those of cassava from which tapioca is made. Cassava is both
farmed and also harvested from wild. I’m looking out over hundreds of wild
cassava plants as I type, also taro plants. The reason your cashew nougat
is so sweet is because Filipinos over sweeten everything, including
spaghetti, to which they also had hot dogs
(EEEEEwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Omg does anyone else think she looks like Lisa kudrow (phoebe from friends)
+Lauren Brady Uma Thurman / Phoebe Buffay hybrid!
+Lauren Brady sometimes when she cooks she totally reminds me of phoebe
with her humor!
yes I always thought that too
,,thank you for your giant package” hahaha
Yes, thank you Eric for your giant package ?
Ube is Okinawan sweet potato 😀 That’s what makes it purple!
+Hilah Cooking Yes, the flesh of both is purple. The Okinawan sweet potato
has kind of a tan skin, but once you peel the skin the potato is purple!
The ube has a rougher looking skin its kind of multi colored. But yes I
agree Hilah, its really fun learning about all of the different foods from
all around the world ?❤?
+blameitonablackstar Aha! But they are both purple? It’s fascinating how
many foods there are in the world. I love learning from all of y’all.
+John Joseph Lim Thank you! This is so fun to learn about new places
through food and all of y’al’s comments 🙂
+John Joseph Lim I know you were talking to hilah, but it seemed like you
were correcting what I wrote, since you put it under my post and not in
it’s own comment which was why I was clarifying my statement ☺ But its all
g I love learning about everyone’s culture!
+blameitonablackstar hahaha i was adressing the statement to hilah. hahaha
good day, sir. ?
You pronounced Piaya right. :)
I love that shawl/blankie
+Tina Fisher, If you like that kind of stuff I’d highly recommend going to
Bali or Northern Philippines. Both have a plethora of weavers with great
skill.
this is so fun. love the new place!
cool. Glad 2 see that you are feeling better….;)
YOU CRACK ME UP !! LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!!
Another US/UK pronunciation difference. We say noo-gar!! Not noo-git. That
is almost a rude word over here!
When you scream into the mic (in the intro) it kinda sounds like a wasp
trapped in a styrofoam cup ?.
Hi piayaya (purple flat bread with sesame) is one of my favorite growing up
especially the original (filled with muscovado sugar). Im from iloilo and
when we visited our relatives in Negros (piayaya originated in Negros) we
always have to make sure we bring these yummy piayaya home. I also love
cashew tarts.
+Josette Salcedo-Frial Oh cool! Thank you for sharing that 🙂
Well I didn’t even know where Palawan was, never heard of it, so you’re
doing better than I am, Hilah! Yes. Im embarrassed.
well most people wouldn’t know if they haven’t been to the Philippines.
Palawan is pronounced a bit different tho hehe. As a Filipino I only like
ube. Ube ice cream, ube bubble tea etc.
What? No Kendi mints? heh heh. They’re one of my PI addictions.
I saw a lot of Ube in the Philippines. it is quite yummy
it’s crocodile not a dragon haha
Why did you move?
It’s not a dragon… it’s “Lolong” the crocodile from palawan hahaha
