Bittermelon or Ampalaya in tagalog is rich in vitamins , mineral and iron good for pregnant woman

are u the voiceover on the HYEW channel?

Bittermelon or bitter gourd is very healthy so thats why were eating those even if it is bitter

I appreciate the input and knowledge, more and more comments are just supporting this super veggie and it's health benefit. Makes me want to look into it more understand the relationship between the Filipino and this or similar foods. Thanks for being a part of the channel friend, if you got any more input we appreciate it and I'm all ears.

yes sir because im a filipino you know asian countries loves lot of vegetable dishes ,this is alternative medicine for so long years ago thats why we are long life togeher

We try, and I don't always pronounce foreign words properly. Thanks for being apart of the channel friend.

@@CharlieWayneAdventures Just listen carefully to how the locals say it, and try to emulate that. lol

I'll give you one example, and I still can't say it even through I lived in this part of Pasig. Mabuhay, I want to say it MabuNay, that's how I hear it. But many words are easy, so far I know 20-30. I can't talk to taxi driver for directions and say sweet words to the ladies, so what else do I need right. Hehehehe.

Well written, I can relate on foods from my own culture. Just wanted to say thank You for your input and being a part of this channel. Salamat Po and see you in the film friend.

Sorry, but the name is bitter gourd, not bitter melon.

Nah, bitter melon prep on a restaurant should not be bitter. Seems they forgot to remove the bitter part.

Despise by hypertensives

@@CharlieWayneAdventures Bitter melon is also a very nutritious vegetable so yahh we like it .. i do agree its an acquired taste some people like it more bitter

This restaurant was pretty cool on the side of a mountain top, I'm still blown away with that background behind me when I watch this video. That's the actual sky and it kind of looks like a painting in the video. I do honestly make a bunch of mistakes sometimes even foreign food, but people like yourself help guide me so I just want to say thank you for being a part of the conversation.

Intresting, Im gonna talk with the Universtitys to find out more on this.

THanks for being apart of the Channel friend.

The flavors was MAS Sarap! I liked it, but it is more expensive than Beef Pares my daily go to comfort food. Thanks for being apart of the Channel friend, and see you in the film coming out today. Its a SILI Eating Contest like no other film we seen. Yahoooo

Same thing happened with Chicken Wings, we use to buy them for 5¢ each, now there a $1 each. Crazy how things change with popularity. Thanks for being apart of the channel friend

Its amazing you see that, most dont. Kuddos to you Friend and thank you for being part of the channel. Any reccomendations you can make for foods or places to visit?

I don't like pinakbet when i was a child but my aunts and uncle will scold me if I don't eat vegetables so I have to but now I got older I like it already so yes it's an acquired taste

Sounds like a universal push and pull relationship that all children go through having to eat something they don't like because it's healthy. Totally can relate, oh I remember those long hours of sitting at a table until all my food was consumed. It was like torture, lol

@@CharlieWayneAdventures Yeah, and it's not just Pinakbet, we also have other dishes like (munggo) which is stewed mung bean and (Ampalaya) which is just sauteed bitter gourd... I hated these as a kid and my grandmother would watch me until I consumed the food on my plate, lol.

Hahahaha, when I was a kid we used to actually have to ask permission from the elder before we could leave the table. See unless we finish our food, we couldn't get permission to leave. If you left the table without permission, or you'd find yourself bent over with a wooden cutting board on your backside. Very strict

Mongo actually taste amazing with pork and shrimp. ​@@AngkatanNamwaran

Couldn't agree with you more, simple & easy is best. In fact, the best places I've ever eaten at are as you describe, a hole-in-the-wall that a non-local wouldn't even recognize as a restaurant. Speaking of that, your suggestions on finding these places would be most appreciated. Any Recommendations? I'm willing to travel

The beef flavor is very good, especially like the additional flavor from bones. What's your favorite part about it? Any other foods we haven't tried, and you will recommend? Thanks and welcome to the adventure

​@@CharlieWayneAdventuresLumpia Shanghai, Tinolang manok(Chicken), Sinigang, check it out

I took a screenshot and sent to our content writer, thanks for you're input and being apart of our channel. This Channel is about You the viewer, so if you have any more ideas let us know.

Also, we have "THE GREAT SUBSCRIBER ADVENTURE CONTEST" coming, it gives back to the viewers like motor bikes and trips with myself Charlie Wayne. Stay tuned for details

Infomative and appriate your insight, its different than the other folks. Based on your siggestion and others, looks like its time to revist this dish. On the other hand, the Beef Soup was SARAP. Thanks my friend, we will see you in the next one.

Sounds interesting friend, can you explain a little more. I can try Google searching it, I'm a legitimately interested in the feedback discussion to learn more. Thank you for your time and input to the conversation friend

YOU SHOULD TRY AND USE THAT BITTER MELON\PARYA AND MIX IT WITH THE SCRAMBLED EGG AND PAIR IT WITH FRIED RICE! PERFECT FOR BREAKFAST BORTHER!

You know I really appreciate your opinion, had not so many people told me about the health benefits or maybe how this dish was prepared wrong I would have never tried it a second time. Thanks to you and other viewers, I think it's worthy of a second chance if I can find somebody competent that can prepare it as you mentioned

Some others mentioned heath benefits, didn't realize the antioxidants were a source. Cool man.

White people eats bitter foods too, Arugula salad at classy restaurants, Endive, Brussell sprouts, many other many places Ampalaya is sold along with green beans.

I like brussel sprouts, use to eat them a lot while living on the farm. Yummy.

I'd like to eat more Illokao foods, any other suggestions?

Are the leaves bitter too? Great super food huh, with amazing health benefits. Apparently this one wasn't prepared very well, looks like I'll have to try it again more professionally cooked. Thanks for your feedback friend.

​@@CharlieWayneAdventuresYes, the leaves are bitter too. These are usually cooked with mung beans. Like it's fruit it's also packed with nutritional values. It's rich in iron. The fruit is good for diabetics and helps release incretin hormones.

I learn so much from You and other viewers, it's an awesome conversation and the teachings you have. Personally, I'm not into tourists locations that just serve ordinary food catered to foreigners. I love trying the local methods and foods, again thank you very much for your feedback friend

Bitter melon, naturally cleanses the blood of toxins (from liver, kidneys, gallbladder...)should be part of everyone's regular diet. This can also be made into a crispy green salad with thinly sliced raw red onions and some apple cider vinegar 👌

One of the few places I haven't been to yet is DAVAO City area. Will try. Does the taste differ depending on how it's cooked? BTW, thanks for being apart of the channel

Many chefs remove the bitterness using a simple method which I also use. Salt is the key to it, which is removed afterwards.

Excellent feedback, others were mentioning egg helps too. So Salt and maybe seasonings, combined with egg. Looks like I'll revisit this dish in another video.

In Laguna we make adobong kalabaw. Masarap.

I take it, thats a different variant of this dish? Thanks for being apart of the converstation friend.

You're Right, even the view from top of mountain was amazing as we eat. Watching the film and looking back, it looks like I'm in front of a picture frame. 🖼️ Thanks for your input to the conversation, and being apart of the channel.

Amazing feedback, we have a whole new level of content coming out within the next month. It's taken us a year to get our company process for content writing and editing. Stay tuned friend, see you in the next one

Any other dishes you can recommend, preferable one we haven't tried or filmed already? Thanks for the feedback and engagement, it's nice hearing from you the viewer.

I have noticed that, Philippine dining and cuisine is much greater than just satisfying the taste buds, it's an opportunity for all to come together and share. So many times when it's eating I always get offered food even though I might not be hungry, the Filipino hospitality is amazing. Thank you for contributing your input and perspectives, as well being a part of our channel friend. See you in the next film and please if you have any suggestions about places or foods or even people with extraordinary stories do share as we can use those for future films.

Oh thank you for the warm welcome, 🤗😀🤗. That's the best thing about the Philippines is the warmth and hospitality of the people. Kudos to you friend

That bone marrow is very healthy for sure. I like it , and Beef Pares. Yummy 🤤

Your right, it's very tasty and the broth is great flavors

You're right, yummy yum yum. There's quite a few dishes that I've liked personally, but the exotic foods are not some of them like duck egg or chicken heads. Hahahaha.

Sauteed huh, do you think that's different than what I had? Others are mentioning egg with salt and different ways of cutting it like smaller thin slice. I'll probably end up trying this dish again, but seriously it was so legitimately strong I would never thought of doing it a second time

Welcome to our channel Cristina and look forward to your feedback. Great information you provided on Bitter Melon 🍈, I would have never tried it again based on its taste. Thanks and see you in the next film.

​@@CharlieWayneAdventures there are some ways to remove the bitterness

Lots of people say that egg and salt, well cutting it more thinly sliced is a better way to prepare it then compared to the way it was given to me. Thanks for the feedback friend, 🙂

Oh big hearts and your feedback is very appreciated, it motivates us more to strive to higher storytelling and experience to create new films. You got any more suggestions please let us know, maybe their places or different foods, we're really seeking out information on people with extraordinary stories or successes. See you in the next film friend

Yeah well this very beneficial, myself I have slight borderline cholesterol issues, go figure with my eating habits. Lol. Seeing that it tastes kind of sour and bad, isn't there ways to obtain the health benefits of the minerals and vitamins through supplements?

Michael, we appreciate your feedback and you've summarized in one paragraph the combination of all other individual suggestions from other viewers. Good for you, and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Others suggested that it was prepared maybe not the best, and then even myself could have done better with using rice to neutralize the flavor. We learn from each other and your feedback is valuable. Thank you for being a part of the channel and this conversation.

Thank you 😋

I guess I'll be going for seconds. 😁

It lowers blood sugar. It tastes great when cut into thin strips, sauteed with eggs, onions and garlic.

Makes sense, looks like I'll revisit and try this dish again. Thanks for being a part of the channel friend.

It also thins blood, thus preventing blood clots.

@@chemicalgravity2103 must be good for people who are prone to blood clots in the nervous system.

It was very powerful and had taste like chemicals. So many comments about the health benefits and why folks eat it. Do You opt for vitamins instead? Thanks for being apart of the channel friend 😁☺️.

Oh I'm flattered but really just a simple person who likes simple ways. My favorite dishes are Bicol Express and more I eat Beef Pares everyday. Yummy

It's kind of easy to mask diabetes, so it's hard for me to tell if it's existent there at the levels in America. I haven't noticed much which is what interests me in the Filipino diet, there must be some health benefits. Thank you for sharing it helps educate me on foreign practices. Salamat Po

Understood, it's amazing heath benefits would have never been known by it's taste.

Your input is consistent with several other viewers feedback on the acquired taste. Myself, Oh I can relate with some of my cultural foods. Thank you for the feedback friend and the contribution to the community discussion.

Awesome, we're looking into doing another video on this superfood and it's healthy benefits like you mentioned. Thanks for being a part of the channel and discussion friend.

Tagalog is not easy for an English speaker I'm finding, but also it goes the other way too for Filipino. Hence the expression "nose bleed". Hahahah

Mas SARAP, well except that bitter food that had sooo powerful taste. Lol. Thanks for contributing to the discussion and joining the channel 😊😁. See you in the next film, and if you have content ideas on foods, places, or more important people with extraordinary experiences we value your input. Thanks Friend

Squash and Zucchini are some of my favorite veggies to do a BBQ wrap with, with I use lots of butter and dry seasonings for added flavor. I but you don't like Okra cause it's slimy, if so cut it up in 3/4" sections and soak in milk overnight. Then rinse in cold water many times while gently tossing with fingers. Then all slim gone, and you good to go. I love okra, my favorite is battered and deep fried, but also I use it in soups with meat and tomato. Oh I'm making myself hungry now. Lol. Thanks for your feedback and engagement in our discussion, let me know about the orka, I'm curious why you don't like it

@@CharlieWayneAdventures I do love zucchini, too. Though, here in the Philippines, cucumber is a lot more common. As for the Okay, you are on point on that one, yes, I just don't like the slimy texture. When I was in high school, my sibling-in-law taught me how to eat Okra and that was quite bearable (at least). We just fried it and dip it in fish paste (the overpowering taste of the fish paste will help you forget the slimy texture and somehow, the rice will kind of neutralize the taste afterwards). However, I developed an allergy to fish paste, so yeah, okra became very out of question. I haven't tried having it soaked in milk nor water for a long period of time (my mom always cook vegetable immediately whenever she gets new one). Also, try ginataang kalabasa (sautéed squash with coconut milk - usually with added small dried fish and pork meat and also string beans). It will pair well with rice, if you are into rice. By now, I think you already realized why rice is quite stable here. Most of our ulam (side dishes) are actually overpowering when it comes to taste and rice is needed to neutralized it. Most of the time, content creator only eat the ulam as is and even though they sing praises, I just couldn't help but feel like they didn't really get to taste how filipino it can be. :)

I didn't really eat rice with much of the dishes when I first began eating Filipino food. It's actually grown on me and I like it now for the above reasons you were mentioning. One of our other videos was about a Jamaican named Filipino restaurant, I literally ate six dishes back to back without any rice, people were amazed I could eat so much. they accidentally gave me three additional dishes, that's why I decided to skip the rice cuz it's too filling and I would never complete all six. Lol. Take your friend and we'll talk soon

Wow, you must be eating in a different way than I had it. Others mentioned a few small things I did wrong, but also mentioned the kitchen didn't prepare it well. Any suggestions that I can learn from, that would be nice 👍. Thanks for being a part of the channel friend.

This one I've got to try with the egg and salt, some were suggesting to get it cut thinner sliced. After so much feedback from you the viewer, looks like it's time to get back to the dinner table and give this dish a second chance. Much appreciated your contributions to the conversation friend. Salamat Po. If you got any other dishes that you would recommend and want to see films on, please let us know. Will give you a shout out in that film referencing this conversation we had.

That's cool. You know in the USA they teach children in school that dairy products are very important because of calcium and other nutrients that aid and Bone development. But you rarely see Asians drink fresh milk or eat cheese, or other dairy milk products that come from cow. Do you have any ideas why? Thanks for your input friend

I like most everything too. Is there a certain way you prefer bitter melon 🍈?

@@CharlieWayneAdventures i like it cooked with egg, the egg is scrambled and it has onion with it

I get it, the bitterness is masked slightly with the egg since it's cooked together. With rice I'm sure it's reduced more. Great idea 👍

Me too, I love crunchy veggies. You ever try celery with peanut butter? Ooh that one's good and the peanut butter won't stick to the inside of your mouth. Pickles are a good favorite of mine too. But that bitter melon, 🍈, wow it's strong. Hahahaha. Thanks for being a part of the channel friend, we have some other food films you might like. There was one where I ordered three dishes, but they brought me six and I ate them all. Talk soon

I get it now on how to reduce the bitterness. It's like all Filipino food, you eat it with rice to reduce the strength of the flavor. Will try it. Thanks You for the input and being apart of the channel friend

Yeah that is the number one common thing everyone is talking about, it's profound health benefits being the SuperFood. It is so me thinking to reevaluate and do some scientific investigative research on this superfood health benefit Thanks for being a part of the channel friend, 🤠😁, your feedback is helpful at guiding the direction of the content. Salamat Po

Because it helps thin the blood or something to assist with cold? Thanks for your input to the discussion friend, it's always great to engage with others to understand their views/ideas.

Kare Kare, honestly I haven't had the chance to try it yet. But I've seen enough suggestions in here to know it's popular, so I guess it's time to do some research on this one and then produce a film. Thank you for being a part of our channel and community, we hear your input and thank you very much. See you in the next film

It's amazing how many people like yourself love this healthy dish. If you get any more suggestions we're very open to learning. Thank you for being a part of the channel friend

Deep fried in its own fat, yummmmmyyyy. 😁 Life is gone full circle when you're using the animals on things to cook it. Lol. Can we thank you very very much for contributing and I actually didn't know they used the pork oil. That's cool 😎

@@CharlieWayneAdventures hey! you're welcome! I just came across this video and I have to say, this is quality content right there. looking forward for more, cheers!

Oh just stick around it's getting a lot better, we actually have somewhere between 7 to 9 documentary films that were about to release. I kind of felt we were doing kind of CopyCat of what a lot of other KZfaqrs were doing, so we shut down the channel for an entire year to restructure everything. We just started the channel back up a couple months ago, our next level content will start rolling out in the weeks coming. Excited for the feedback from you the viewers.

Your right and I agree 💯. Bulalo is amazing, Bitter Melon not so much. Hahha

Kind of like an apple huh, hahahaha 😁😂. Well if we ever meet up, I'll give you the portion from my plate friend. But seriously thank you very much for being a part of the channel and your contribution to the discussion. Salamat Po

AWESOME- Totally New insight and method not mentioned in the conversations here.Salamat Po, and thanks for your input and for being apart of the Channel friend. See you in the next film.

Who would have known something so powerful would have great health benefits. Without you saying, I would have never known 😊. Thanks for being a part of the channel and your feedback in this conversation is great. See you in the next one

You're mentioning two different names there. I will have to look this up later, but do you have any additional insight if there's different variants of the bitter gourd? Maybe some are more rich in the vitamins, others might be more or less bitter, etc.. I've learned a lot from viewers like yourself, and appreciate learning from your feedback. Thank you for being a part of the channel, will see you in the coming films and I look forward to any more feedback you might have. We might just use it in a coming film, who knows but at least we get to know each other. Thank you friend

The one you had is among the more bitter variety and well suited for pinakbet. Pinakbet is my favorite Ilocano vegetable stew since I was a kid. That one is of Indian variety (south Asian) The ones used in salads are either Philippine or Indonesian (less bitter) also I like them pickled. I am not sure of the Vietnamese, Chinese, or Taiwanese varieties. I know at least one them is not bitter at all. Enjoy, keep safe and stay healthy 👍

Yeah it seems like I got the really strong version. Thanks and watch out for some new videos coming friend. We will release in the next 24 hours Sili Challenge

Excellent input to the conversation, several others mentioned this method and it's the one I'm going to try next. Welcome to the channel friend, recommendations and your perspectives are always welcome. See you in the next film

Oh this one was super bitter, others are mentioning there's different strengths based on different variants, then additionally cooking in preparation has a large Factor in its taste. I've learned a lot from you and others, thank you for being a part of the conversation as I learn the cultural experiences. It's amazing and beautiful, thank you friend

Yup we went there last Feb 2024 and ordered two of my all-time faves: Bulalo and Sizzling Pork Sisig

Awesome, I've been to the area twice and some real good eating spots. The Beef is very good as your suggesting. What other foods do you suggest we do a film on.

@@CharlieWayneAdventures Have you tried Bulalo Point in Tagaytay? I prefer this much better when it comes to location and ambience. I feel more relaxed here but then again both offer really good tasting authentic Filipino cuisine! Not a cent wasted. Definitely will go back when I have the opportunity! Enjoy eating! BTW, i eat bitter gourd. It's one of my fave vegetables. I stir fry it with some eggs and tomatoes. FYI, to remove some of the bitterness you have to soak it in really salty water like you wanna taste it like the ocean sort of for 5-10 minutes and then drain the water and let it sit for awhile like 3-5 minutes before you cook it. I consider it as one of my super foods. Very nutritious!

No I haven't been to that restaurant, but will try maybe next time. Tagaytay is a detour on our road trips, but well worth it when heading south from Manila. The more you and others speak of better ways to prepare Bitter Gourd, I'm 100% gonna try it again cooked like y'all suggested. Thanks for your help bro. We also have a new Soup Film released yesterday about Sinigang.

So when it's soft, there's less bitterness? How to make it softer? Thanks for your feedback and help .

We did a film on Cebu Lechon, did you see that one? If not check out videos. For the Crispy Pata, that's an awesome idea, thanks for the input friend.

In the USA we have similar things and experiences. I was mentioning to another viewer the stories are parents would tell us to eat vegetables or particular foods that kids might not like. For example carrots, as a kid I was often told the great benefits for eyesight like a bunny rabbit. It's funny, because I tell those same stories to my children knowing they might not even have any credibility. Lol. Thank you for being a part of the channel friend, see you in the next film.

Sounds like the beginning of a children's rhyme to convince them to eat the stuff. Let's start a trend with the below 👇 "Bitter melon, green and strong, Helps you grow up big and long. Though its taste is not so sweet, It's the healthiest treat you'll eat! Keeps you healthy, keeps you bright, Makes you strong with all its might. Bitter melon, give a try, It's a superfood, oh my!Eat it up and you will see, How strong and smart you'll grow to be. Bitter melon, though it’s tough, It's the stuff that makes you buff!So, take a bite, don’t be shy, Healthy kids give it a try! Bitter melon, so divine, Makes you healthy, every time!"

Was the taste you experienced as strong as the one I did? I've learned a lot from you the viewers on ways to improve this dish and what might have been wrong in the preparation of mine. Thanks for being a part of the channel friend, we have content that's 10x coming out very soon, it's a full years worth of work and improving our storytelling and company processes. Very excited for the feedback as it's all for you the viewer.

I love mixed vegetables 🥗. Any suggestions on other foods I can try?

Also partner it with other foods huh, great input and suggestion. Others were mentioning egg and salt, maybe even cutting in smaller sizes. Thank you for your input in this conversation, we'll see you in the next one friend

Having feedback like this is great, that way we can learn together on how to improve the experience 😁😉. Thanks for being a part of the channel friend, and your contribution to the conversation is appreciated. See you in the next film 📽️🎥

Awesome to hear, you have strong experience with flavors to like the bitterness. Hahahah 🤣😂. Personally, I like "squash, Grilled zucchini and tomatoes wrapped in foil with spices and butter", when cooked on the BBQ grill under slow heat . Other good veggies too, Okra and Tomatoes stew/🍲😋. Yummy, thanks for being apart of the channel friend

@@CharlieWayneAdventures Its actually an acquired taste. My Mom was from the Norther part of Luzon, she's Ilocana and Bitter melon or ampalaya is mostly on all of the vegetable dishes, and breakfast menu. Bitter food like Pinapaitan, its an acquired taste just like any alcoholic drinks, and dark chocolate.,Tea and Coffee. Beer is bitter but hell I like drinking beer😂 Cheers bro!

Oh it's like beer, GAME ON.... HAHAHAHA. Thanks for the good laugh and conversation friend.

Wow, you and your family must cook it a lot different than I had it. Thanks for being apart of the discussion friend.

Your right, only a couple others mentioned how this might not have been prepared correctly. One person said the piece I ate was so large, were it should have been cut thin. Other suggestions on preparing too.

Thanks for being part of the channel friend and your input is very appreciated.

Nice, learning Japan influence now. In the USA, we have term GOYA and use it for motivational reasons. GOYA = Get Off Your A$$. Hahahhahah. Thanks for the feedback friend, lots of other films both food and places that we released. New style content to be released soon also, would love the feedback

Egg seems to be a very popular companion, and then salt somewhere recommended well cutting it thinner. What about other foods can you recommend anything for us to try? Thanks again for your time and contribution friend

We have the same taste in food :). In the USA it is called "Chicharron" or simply "Pork Rind". What are your top 3 favorite dishes of Food? If we make a film on one, we will give you a shout-out your name for helping. Welcome to the Channel.

It's got to be good for the diabetics then huh, I don't think I've really heard of many diabetic people in the Philippines and contrast to say America. Thanks for being a part of the channel friend and your input is valued

It must help control their blood sugar huh. Thanks for being apart of the channel friend.

Awesome, Im gonna have to try it again but prepared better than it was served to me. Thanks Friend for contributuing to the disscussion. Do you suggest any other Foods or Places that we can try?

@@CharlieWayneAdventures Well I'm actually abroad for a long time 20 years to be exact never been home for that period of time and I'm really missing our food there in the Philippines. By the way I just want to tell you some tips on how to eat Filipino food. We eat rice 🍚 3 time a day , Breakfast , lunch and dinner and the dishes always go with rice . I saw someone eating DRY FISH alone NO❓the dry salted fish should be eaten with rice 🍚 🤣🤣🤣. That's how Filipinos eat. Maybe you wanted to try to eat HALO HALO in English it's called mix mix meaning in order for you to taste the real taste of the HALO HALO you need to MIX first all what's inside the bowl 🥣 using 🥄. I saw lots of foreigners don't know how to eat it 🤣🤣🤣.

I appreciate the tips of eating Filipino foods, I've gotten so much better with pairing eat bite with rice. I love Bicol Express that way. It the soup based foods I struggle with. In our New Sinagong Food video, I mixed the rice I to the soup, and the Lady who prepared it was shocked. Guess I got more to learn, but thanks to folks like you I'll get there. Salamat Po. 😁😊

Halo Halo huh, I've seen it so much but haven't tried it. Your idea of mixing it great, and we will do a food vlog on that. Much appreciated friend

@@CharlieWayneAdventures Waiting more videos from sir and your family. The reason why gave some tip on how to eat HALO HALO was we've seen lots of foreigners eagerly wanted to have a try eating HALO HALO but they're eating it in the wrong way like they eat start to eat on what's on top way down. The the correct way is to MIX all together the ingredients inside the glass or bowl there you can only taste the real deliciousness of the HALO HALO 😋

Yeah that bite was so powerful, I was never touched it again had y'all not spoken of the super food and health benefits. Too cool, 😎😁, and thank you brother for your feedback. I'm kind of thinking I agree with you later of what you said, I think I'll probably use multivitamins. Hahahaha

Oh that's great health information, I was telling others it would be hard to know that based on the strong powerful taste. Speaking of diabetes, have you ever heard of the keto diet? It's apparently very good for diabetics as they reduce their blood sugar and bring under control insulin. Also starving the body of sugar (carbohydrate) it's a good reactive health measure for fighting Cancers and tumors as that is the energy source those diseases survive on. But I can't see a Filipino going a day without rice (carbohydrate and sugar). Hehehehe

Great suggestion and thanks for identifying what might have been done wrong. It was very powerful the taste, it tasted like chemical. Probably because I just tried it without any neutralizing food for example rice, as well the food preparation as you indicated was not done properly with cutting, and others have suggested salt and egg can help reduce bitterness. It looks like it's time to retry this dish that has amazing health benefits as we've learned through the multiple conversations with viewers like yourself. Thank you for being a part of our channel and we got a great Sili Challenge video coming this Wednesday, we'll see you in that video my friend.

@@CharlieWayneAdventures when i saw your reply sir. i crave for bitter melon 😂 sauteed bitter melon with eggs. iam having my lunch right now. to reduced bitterness, cut it into strips not like the one you ate. it's like a chunk of metal 😂 and soaked the bitter melon in water for 30mins. with generous amount of salt. give a little massage 😁

After so many helpful suggestions like yours, it's time I go back and revisit this superfood while having it prepared properly.

It's amazing this powerful SuperFood, but that taste bro is crazy when not prepared properly. Hahahaha.

@@CharlieWayneAdventures There's actually technique on how to cook it without bitterness but it's probably less beneficial but the taste is better.

Others were mentioning that, they also said that the variant that I got was extra powerful combined with being of large chunk. Going back to your suggestion I think I'm going to try this again but find somebody that can prepare it properly. We will see

Maybe someday I will acquire the positive experience, based on many advices from other viewers like you I think it's time to revisit this food and try the variations. Thank you friend and we will see you in the next one

Rice is the life, I'm learning that and have been incorporating that into the eating practices of Filipino food. For example a common dish I eat is Bicol Express, oh I actually enjoy it with the white rice now we're in the beginning I was eating it with flavored garlic rice. Looking back in this evening experience, I should have more rice to help neutralize the strong flavors of the bitter melon Any other input or suggestions you have? Maybe a particular food or place you want to see us do a film on? Thank you for being a part of our channel, we greatly appreciate your feedback and engagement as we learn from you. Lots of good content coming, a whole new style were about to release of documentary and motivational films. Will see you there

@@CharlieWayneAdventures Bitter melon is an acquired taste and is a healthy compliment for the famous fatty foods of Filipinos. Ampalaya con carne is another dish with bitter melon. Bagoong or shrimp paste is well-used condiment in Southeast Asia for meals or snacks. For example of snacks where bagoong used as a dip is unripe mango/green mango (manggang hilaw) or singkamas (jicama/turnip). Thank you very much for making the Philippines - its people, food and culture - as the subject of your channel. Safe travels, wonderful adventures and hearty meals be always a part of your travels. Godbless!

Love it, see you in the next film friend.

It was soooooo strong, and taste like chemicals. Lol

I'll have to try it this way. Do you cut the Bitter Melon into small pieces and mix in the frying pan while cooking the egg ? How about seasonings, any particular seasoning? Thanks for your help and being apart of the channel.

This was very bitter in my experience, it kind of tastes like strong chemical. I hope to try it again in the way everybody else enjoys it. Thanks for being a part of our channel, we have a Sili Eating Challenge video coming out this Wednesday, it's going to be good and we will see you there my friend.

The Beef Soup was VERY Sarap! Little expensive compared to Beef Pares, but a nice treat. THanks for being apart of the conversation, its great to hear from you. See you in the next one friend.
