Hey friends in the comments, look, I wanna let you know, I have TRIED with bitter gourd, I made this whole episode trying to find ways to love it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nNZhbK10tZjUc6c.html if you have another recipe you think will change my cold cold heart, let me know

I love cooking and I've cooked bittermelons several ways....in Pinakbet, in Ampalaya con carne (ampalaya is the Filipino term for bittermelon) or just simply sautéed in garlic, onion, some tomatoes and beaten eggs towards the end of the cooking period. Unfortunately, you can never really remove all the bitter taste in bittermelon....that's why they are called as such. However, you can remove most of the bitterness by mixing sliced bittermelon with salt, a lot of salt. The thinner the slices the more bitterness that will be removed. After mixing the salt thoroughly with the ampalaya I would let it stand for about thirty minutes, or even longer, before rinsing the sliced vegetable a few times with fresh water, gently squeezing the veggie each time the water has been drained to expel more water. Usually, I would do this three times (when the volume of the bowl is considerably more than the volume of the sliced ampalaya....about 3x the volume). You can now use the sliced ampalaya as called for in the recipe. Also, adding a little bit of sugar (usually to taste) can help offset the bitter taste. Same principle as taking bitter pills with sugar or something sweet. Some would argue that by doing this process most of the vitiamines and other nutritional content would be lost with rinse water together with the bitter taste. Not true since most of these micronutrients are inside the plant cells. And when you do not eat the ampalaya you're not getting any of these nutrients at all. Anyway, eating bittermelon is an acquired taste. I hated it when I was a kid but learned to eat it and appreciate it when I was in college.

Alas, no recipe or cooking technique will totally eradicate the bittergourd's power. 😂 It's just tooooo powerful. 😆 TIP: NEVER eat it on its own. My nephew buries a slice or 2 it in spoonful of rice. I prefer that method to him drowning it with a glass of water.

Hi, Beryl! Thank you for eating the Filipino food with RICE! Too many channels try eating Filipino food straight without rice and the flavors can just be too strong without the blandness of rice to balance it out. The other KZfaqrs then crinkle their noses after eating the dish and say that the Filipino food is , “Just alright” or they don’t like it. It angers me that they don’t eat other cultures’ food correctly so they don’t experience the deliciousness and pleasure of the dish. You do it well and you honor the cultures, even when you don’t like a certain item, like bitter gourd. Believe me, that’s an acquired taste. Rock on, Beryl!

"With the rice, it's really good!" - Haha, a lot of Filipino foods are made to go well together with rice. Rice breaks down as you chew it - human saliva has a natural enzyme to break down the carbs in it, and it breaks it down into sweet glucose components. Filipino dishes are naturally made a little stronger in flavour, because we eat it with rice, which calms down the flavours, balancing them out by adding it's own flavour. Without rice, Filipino food is seasoned very strongly, and the genius and subtlety of a lot of our cuisine can only be appreciated in relation to the rice. And don't worry, as a Filipino myself, I've never habituated to bitter gourd. I also just pluck it out, and when I'm making Filipino food myself, I always add in other vegetables to replace the bitter gourd.

Daing is actually a term that refers to the process of opening up a fish and deboning it. Filipinos typically call it Bangsilog since the filipino term for milkfish is Bangus. One thing that you lack for the complete Filipino vibe in that Dasilog is small bowl of vinegar with ungodly amounts of garlic and crushed black pepper as a dipping sauce.

Almost all Filipino foods are good with rice because they were made to be paired with it. In the Philippines, we call these dishes “ulam” which basically means a dish that you eat with the rice. Every meal time consists of white rice and an ulam. It’s the reason I find eating foods like menudo without any rice, pretty overwhelming. Cause the feeling of tasting the flavors of the dishes without any rice to kind of balance it is not something I want to experience often.

You can use the fork and spoon to cut/chop up the ulam more, which I do when I’ve eaten bitter melon and pork together on the rice.

This is the episode I wish I was a part of, but I think the choices were very out of the box, but a great representation of the Filipino culture! Each of the dishes represented several regions of the country, as well as many of the influences from the Philippines' many colonizers. However, I did notice something that I was confused by (because I've been seeing it quite often recently)--The Filipino flag was flipped. The colors of the flag have very significant meanings, so does its orientation: when the blue is above the red, that means that the country is at a time of peace, and it is flipped during war-time. Now, I'm questioning the integrity of Bilao as an authentic Pinoy restaurant, because if the flag came with their food, that's something they should've known. Knit-picky, as it seems, but it's of national importance, so I thought I'd just point it out.

Fun fact about Binagoongan, it can last for about a week actually! My mother would make a huuuuge batch of them on a Sunday, then we have them for the week (with different pairings, sometimes with fried egg, or fried eggplants, mixed in another dish, shredded and put into lumpia, in an omelette, etc.) and the flavor just keeps getting better every day. It's literally one of the perfect dishes (other than adobo) that are long-lasting and helps us save money on pork. Also, ginisang monggo is my comfort dish! Thank you for this!

Hello Beryl! Eating calamansi juice with those dishes and other Filipino is a great idea. Filipinos love their pork, and many dishes are also naturally salty and savory. The sourness of the calamansi juice (or any citrus juice for that matter) cuts through the greasiness of pork, and its sweetness complements the saltiness well for a very satisfying sense of taste. I grew through my elementary and high school years always having a chilled citrus juice in my meals (I always have two or three bottles of juice in our refrigerator chilling and refill them everytime so I always have them for myself hahaha. Thank you for your appreciation and more power to your channel.
