Jessica should be the next ambassador. She's so excited to introduce Philippine culture and cuisine to her fellow Koreans, a Filipino by heart, indeed. Don't you guys agree??

thank you jessica for doing this. i’m a singaporean living in australia. back in singapore i grew up with a filipino maid (i call her auntie) whom i still treat as my second mother to this day, even though she’s gone back to the philippines. now i’m a big foodie, so it’s really hard to choose my favourites e.g. japanese, chinese, vietnamese, thai, western, italian etc. but if i had to choose my ULTIMATE top favourite, without hesitation, i’d say filipino food hands down. that’s how much of an impact my dear auntie had on me. a bit of background: when i was younger i had meals together with auntie almost everyday and she taught me to eat with my hands. she cooked me all sorts of filipino delicacies - THE most delicious food on earth. pinakbet, sinigang, tortang talong (eggplant omelette), rellenong bangus (grilled milkfish stuffed with onion, tomatoes), dinak dakan, ginisang munggo, adobo, ensaladang talong (roasted eggplant salad), even simple tomato with calamansi and soy sauce, i would drool over.. she introduced me to my favourite desserts turon, biko (sticky glutinous rice), suman malagkit (glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaf) and sweet macaroni salad. i am not exaggerating when i say this: i can eat these dishes every single day and not get tired of them. it was a blessing auntie gave me so i could experience the wonders of filipino cuisine in my home in singapore. the one common theme in her cooking is “heartwarming”. once i take the first bite, it’s not just umami but pure homeliness. filipino food will always be my comfort food. but beyond that, she taught me kindness, generosity, unconditional love, joy, laughter, all that the people of the philippines embrace. she introduced me to her friends, the struggles they face as maids overseas living far away from their families and young children - people they are fighting and working hard everyday to earn a living for. these memories were my childhood, she was my childhood; and i think of her so dearly to this day. for this reason, filipinos have a special place in my heart. i want to serve the filipino community one day and give back to them, exactly how auntie treated me and loved me. jessica, never stop what you’re doing 🥹 everyone needs to know how delicious filipino food is and how wonderful their culture is.. otherwise they’re missing out so much. i’m here cheering you on!! 💛🧡💛

I, as a Korean, feel connected to Filipino bros watching this. I've met some Filipino dudes in here Korea. They're all kind, enthusiastic and even artistic.

They're surprisingly more openminded and outgoing than youngsters when it comes to food. I would love to see them taste pochero too. Seeing this video has made me know my culture's food more. Like how we typically use fruits in our dishes like bananas, papayas and tamarind. In a way it's like i accidently discovered filipino food's identity through koreans

I'm Japanese-Filipina and this reminds me of the story when my father (a filipino-american in the US air force) cooked filipino food for my mom (a japanese immigrant) on their first date. My mom loved the food and was so impressed by it that she started learning how to cook filipino food. When they got engaged, my parents went to Japan to meet my moms extended family and my dad cooked filipino food for my grandparents. They had the same reactions as the Korean grandparents in this video and it warms my heart to see them enjoy filipino foods that I grew up eating!

I love how they recommend which dishes would go with alcohol and Kim chi. Plus, I was touched when the grandparents sensed similarities in Filipino food to Korean food.

Ooh I love how she taught them how Filipinos eat them with rice and that there are different varieties. I think that is an important factor especially if you're trying out food from different cultures. You will appreciate the food more.

I know this doesn’t have anything to do in particular with the video, but I couldn’t stop being amazed by how good these eldery look! They all look at least 10 years younger of what they actually are! Really amazing. 🫣

The man who wants to pair everything with something spicy is such a mood 😂

The way Jessica picked dishes that she knows they will love you can see that she knows filipino food well. This is the first koreans try na hindi mukhang pilit imo.

Proud Filipino here ❤️❤️,i guess they don't know the called "Tinola" can serve if you are Filipino leader or something with high reputation in government during Spaniard era here in the Philippines, so it means that "Tinola is not just simple dish, it is our part of history and culture for many Filipinos ❤️" thanks for introducing Filipino delicacy to Koreans.

As a Filipino, this incredible video made me smile. Seeing the happy faces and their inquisitiveness about our local and native dishes melt my heart. So glad they made this video. 🤗

I really like how Jessica introduced Filipino foods to korean grandparents💙💓💙

I love how they reacted, it was really descriptive and you see how much they are more receptive to different tastes and flavors💖

I love how you explain to them how these different dishes are eaten, what they’re made of, the conversations are so interesting because I get to learn about Korean food culture too! I love this video! I wonder, have you tried Bicol Express? 🥹🫶🏻

I love Koreans & Japanese they are so respectful anything they do not like it is in most respectable way ❤Salamat for showcasing pinoy pagakain/food sister 🤍🎉❣️

How refreshing. No exaggerated reactions, just very zen-like and appreciative of the culture. ^_^ Filipinos love Korean food. There are Korean food stalls everywhere in the Philippines, not just Kbbq either, and not only in the cities.

the grandma who said that kangkong tastes like sweet potato sprouts is spot on since kumakain din naman tayo ng talbos ng kamote and medyo similar nga sila yung lolo na naka skyblue ang gana kumain ang cute sulit byahe niya since sabi niya from outside seoul pa siya haha

Hi there jessica im filipino🇵🇭 but working overseas here in kingdom of bahrain🇧🇭.thank ypu so much for introducing our filipino foods to your seniors but NOT looking seniors i swear!😍 Send my warmest HI to them,thank u..much love ,CHUCHI❤

They're so polite! Even the way they say the things they don't like much about the dish sounds very gentle. 😭❤

Mas masarap pa panoorin yung mga matatanda mag try ng stuff kesa sa mga maaarteng nakikita mo pag pina patry ng food. And they are very honest with their opinions and taste sa food which reminded me of my grandmother who recently passed away. Miss you mommy! 😌😌

I love how they take a mouthful of the foods first before giving their opinions unlike some taste test videos and I am glad that they like what they've tasted. Thank you for this video, Jessica!

2 things that I find uniquely adorable!! 1.) Trying sinigang with chopsticks 2.) Trying sinigang with drinks and I instantly thought of Soju 😄🙏💖💖

It made me so proud and happy that koreans liked our filipino dish.. i love korean foods so much too.

6:32 To answer it, YES. Normally, anything that has a taste to counterfeit the bitter taste of alcohol is a good combination while drinking alcohol. But soup base foods are not often served on pubs or bars. You'll only see it among people drinking in their houses. The word "Pulutan" means pick and eat. So basically, liquids are not fit, but solid dry food like Chicharon Bulaklak, Sisig or Crispy Pata.

I love that they incorporate their culture like when they say that it would be nice to add kimchi or it somewhat tastes like this or so. They are so adorable.

Im thankful that I watched that video clip of Korean kids trying Filipino Bday foods and now Im binge watching this Korean Ate series.

So wholesome.😩 making me miss my lola

I was kind of surprised. I thought Korean elders will find Filipino food wierd. Especially sinigang. But I'm glad they liked it. And the guests are so nice and cute 😊

The ahjussi in mint green shirt was so enthusiastic about everything - everyone was but him especially. He’s perfect to star in a show. I enjoyed this video a lot! Thanks for sharing Filipino culture to Koreans 🤍

I'm from Philippines, thank you Miss Jessica for introducing Philippine Culture and Cuisine. ❤️❤️ God bless

The grandma on the left side is so kind.. her reactions look genuine❤️

One thing I noticed though, regardless of their age, Koreans really has undeniably good skin. These seniors don't look their age and the host is so pretty! 🫶 Thank you, Jessica for featuring a Filipino culture. Food is also a part of our culture and we're so happy to see how you share our culture to yours. Wish you all the best!

i agree with Okra and gochugang... thank you for introducing Filipino food to Koreans. love their reactions🤗💛

Her english is so good i just notice most of koreans who speak in english has their south east asian accent but her accent was like a news reporter here in philippines lol i like her

awww thank you so mush for the supports of the philipines❤ we filipino appreciate it very much 😊

They're so cute, especially the grandpa in mint long sleeves! He came all the way from Ilsan because He really wanted to join the show🙌🏻 Thank you Jessica for introducing this Filipino food to them!💖

This is my first time watching this and I must say the "Korean Ate" is a nice play of words. Because it literally translates to "Korean Sister" and can be also interpreted as "Korean Ate(eat)" because the series is all about food. I like it.

I love how you explained the Filipino dishes to the seniors. And they're so lovable💕

Ilove it. They are very open minded and they like our food. 🇵🇭

Let them try bulalo, kare-kare, adobo, lumpia, sisig, chopsuey next time too ate 😊... Looking forward to these series

I’m actually surprise with the reactions of these beautiful Korean elders, as I work here in Korea, I know how Korean elders not that open in trying other dishes. The fact that they take pride with their own food and how picky they are so it is surprising to see good reactions in our own Filipino foods. Thumbs up 👍

Is it just me, it's my first time here in your channel but I like your English accent. Just wow! I got a chance to study in an international university and got a lot of Korean friends who speaks English but yours is honestly commendable 💕

They clearly know how to cook and eat. They're open for new flavors which makes them a great candidate for food taste test. I've enjoyed the episode! Looking forward for more contents like these. Much love from the Philippines.

I feel Jessica's happiness and excitement whenever she introduces our culture to Korean people. Good job Jessica!😊 nakakaproud ka.😘

These Korean Grandparents are good at giving commentary. More of this pleaseeee~

Sarap sa feeling na naaappreciate Ng iba lahi Ang food natin😊

Vote Jessica for PH ambassador. She's everywhere to promote PH food and culture. ❤️

Thank you for representing the Philippines.

Thank you for enjoying our Filipino dishes. Furthermore, those are frequently prepared for lunch and dinner by a Filipino moms/grandmothers. I love how the Korean elder reacted so adorable.❤

These don't only suit seniors' palates! I love monggo, sinigang na hipon, and tinola with lots of malunggay :)

Loved this. I'm glad that those were the dishes picked. More authentic then more spanish influenced dishes. Well done.

Wow thanks for introducing and explaining to them. Yeah most Filipino foods are not spicy compared to our other South East Asian neighbors. My theory is got to do with our location and remote geography. Our food are the island type and simple. And because of our location exchanging of Spices were not easy during the ancient times. Unlike Thai Malay Indo Vietnam where they are near each other and can easily Trade Spices during the early days.

The host is so well inform about the food. Its like Filipino is introducing the food to koreans.

This was very refreshing to watch. I like your choice in foods and that you didn’t serve things people would typically know the Philippines for like pancit and chicken adobo.

I love how they take a decent sized spoonful when tasting and not a small nibble like most would lol

It's heartwarming to see the elders enjoying Filipino dishes. There's more in the Philippine dishes that they should see and eat! I wish to see more of this content. Hwaiting!

Its really refreshing to watch elderly tried foreign foods. Thier reactions are genuine 🥰

She's so kind, humble, respectful and very passionate of what she's doing. Thank you Jessica for making this blog. Continue being an inspiration and loving Filipino culture. GOD bless you always ♡

Some filipinos cant really have tinola or sinigang without adding fish sauce so we normally have it on a small sauce plate. I would suggest having that on hand as well but not sure if they would find it too pungent. I love that you presented food in a way thats relatable to Koreans and actually fit elderly taste preference well. Well done.

The fact that she used papaya fruit and not sayote is a great move. That’s legit tinola. But it couldve been a different experience if she added lemon grass and used native chicken. And please tell me all of these were seasoned with knorr broth cubes HAHAHA. The sinigang looked sarap. The munggo could have had more sabaw and more flavor like chicharon. But overall, with how the seniors reacted and described each dish, I know Jessica nailed the flavors and the cooking. Thank you Jessica! 💖

I genuinely enjoyed this because the reactions of both groups are so adorable! Jessica did a great job describing and comparing the dishes with something they are familiar with from the Korean food culture. I hope to see more of this series.

You just introduced the 4 most common veggie / soup dishes Filipinos eat. My favorite is the tinola and monggo (mine is made with more diced pork, garlic and is soupier) I love this content. Subscribed!

Im glad they liked all of it🥰

good grief, its a treat to have the sunbae (korean ate series) and the jessica vlog at almost the same time, i follow every vlog or series jessica is in and no disappointment so far, i love how jess describe each food to the korean grandparents and the feedback is so honest...hope there will be more of these in your content ❤🤗

the 할머니 and 할아버지들 are so endearing! loved how they respectfully tried the food and eventually liked some of it :))

It’s good you’re making them try the Filipino comfort food. But for tinola, it’s way better when you mix a bit of either calamansi or lemon to the soup to make it taste a lot better. But I’m happy they’re all enjoying the food. So proud of the Filipino (my) Legacy. 😍😍🫶🫶🥰🥰😘😘❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Love this video 💖 thank you for loving the Philippines 💖

I really love their Reactions so much. .

this was so fun to watch and i love how Ms. Jessica really researched about the ingredients in order to explain it very well to the seniors. it's so refreshing to see a reaction video that is professionally made and educational unlike other youtubers who make filipino content for pinoy baiting. looking forward to more videos like this in the future! :)

So glad that they like the food! All 4 of those are included in my top 20 foods for main meal. ☺️

wow ❤️so proud of you introducing our pilipino delicacy to your family . 🥰watching you from AlasCali Vlog .lynne Alaska USA 🥰🥰🥰

We usually adjust our soup based dishes (???) with condiments that’s why some, if not most, of them are bland so it can suit our taste after mixing with some condiments. And the monggo is usually paired with fried food that’s why it doesn’t taste much

Finally!! KOREAN ATE IS BACK!!!. LOVE YOU JESSICA LEE!💚

I love their reactions!

Omg! I love this! I’m so glad they like them! Monggo is one of my fave dish! It’s underrated i think lol can’t wait to see more! 🙏🏼🥰

I love how they appreciate monggo ☺️ Knowing it's just a simple recipe. ❤️

Such an adorable interaction Cutiee Lolo's and Lola's 💓 I Love how Jessica explained the dishes and how seniors evaluate each food after tasting it and (find it similar to) and (shared ideas to partner it) with some Korean dishes ❤ I don't eat okra but maybe I should try what Lolo suggested to eat it raw with gochujang 😆

I love them so much 😭💖 Yes it may sound weird to call them adorable but they are. I love how they are open minded and honest with their first impressions.

glad that they liked it! 🥰 Sinigang & Tinola is better with patis mixed with chili tho!

Please have them try adobo, bulalo, dynamite, lumpia or other filipino dishes and traditional dessert like puto, suman, biko, etc. I'm sure they'll love it 🥰 TIA 🙏🏻

enjoyed watching their honest reactions. 😃 good choice on picking the veggie dishes for the seniors Jessica! waiting for next video in the series! 😃

i love them so much🥺♥️ big respect to them♥️

I love how she explains everything about the dishes, but there's one more thing about "monggo" It is usually made every friday 😂 I also don't know why, but my parents always ask if it's friday before cooking monggo

Jessica perfectly chose the first 4 dishes to introduce to korean seniors. 🥰

Aaaaah I really love your appreciation for our Filipino food so overwhelmingly thank you for your appreciation for our delicious food thank you so much Jessica Lee for introducing Filipino food to them I really love how you all impressed and appreciated our food😍🤗💖💖🇵🇭🇵🇭

I love the way they eat 😊. They appreciate food 😋 Love it!

I really love how positive they are with our foods. Lolos and lolas are the best talaga.

I love having tinola and kimchi together too! Plain tinola just doesn't sit right with me as it can also comes out as greasy but with kimchi, it gives extra flavor!

I know a lot of Filipinos who don't like tinola, some think it taste so bland but I haven't met someone who dislike adobo or sinigang.

It's so cute seeing their reactions after they take a bite of the food.

I’m so fascinated to see tamarind referred to as a vegetable as to me it is a fruit

I like Korean seniors reaction to every Filipino dishes they've tried...they know healthy foods as well...kudos JL ❤️

Love watching uhmmas and appas trying Pinoy food. Honestly, the elder folks in Korea are kind and welcoming even to foreign strangers. They are very warm even when they struggle to help me find my way when I got lost in the streets of Seoul with my friends.

THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT TO YOUR FAMILY. SHARING OUR DISHES ARE SO GREAT. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

Thank you for liking our Filipino foods. We also use hot chili 🌶 peppers but sometimes it is placed in a small dish with fish sauce and lemon juice. The hot chili pepper is crushed and it is used to spice any food you like. It's a delicious condiment. Try it with Sinigang or Tinola or any meat or sea foods you like. Bon Appétit.

their reactions are really cute! i love how you introduced Filipino dishes to Korean Grandparents! new sub Jessica! Can't wait to see more from you! love from the Philippines!

Sheesh, I'm drooling to these Filipino dishes. 🤤They're all my favorites. 😋

Ok I now have respect to the entire Korean country after this video.

You did so good with this video. A video that actually instructs them the right way on how to eat each dish correctly. Love your energy too! Keep it up!
