Rare Filipino Recipe: Calamansi Nata De Coco Dessert

Рет қаралды 229,878

Calamansi stuffed with nata de coco is a dessert that’s born from the wildest of imaginations. Nina Velasco has been making and selling this unique dessert for the past 30 years, using an heirloom recipe that’s been passed down from generations in her family.
It’s been written in books and newspapers but seeing the process from start to finish is a beautiful method that deserves more recognition. Biting into this small and umami-filled piece of history feels like a delightful peek into the colorful story of the family behind the artform.

@FEATR, I hope you would release a book featuring these rare recipes. There are a lot of Filipino recipes that are not yet known to most Filipinos and with different regions having their own way of cooking these recipes. These deserves to be passed on to every generation and should not be forgotten. And thank you very much for always featuring the best foods within the Philippine islands.❤

0:50 Oh gosh as an Indonesian, we can relate to this so much! Indonesian desserts are majority aren't baked either-even if a little of them baked, its using traditional 'oven' made from clay. Most of our desserts are made by boiling, steaming, frying, or just searing it on some flat surface (pan, etc). I think this might be maritime Southeast Asia culture's similarity. Pretty sure Malaysian desserts are mostly like this as well.

Pangarap ng prof ko to nung college. She was once called "Sago Queen" of the Philippines because of her intrinsic study about the real Sago (s.n. Metroxylon sagu) a.k.a landang in bisaya. Hope ma feautre nyo rin. Starch source sya sa mga marshy towns of Agusan in Mindanao and also some parts of Visayas. Staple food sya in Papau New Guinea and some parts of Indonesia and Malaysia.

@TaLeng2023 7 ай бұрын

Bakit di common yang metroxylon? Nung nagsimula ako magbasa tungkol sa sago nalaman ko na hindi siya totoong sago kundi cassava. Metroxylon kaya gamit sa sago pearls dati bago naintroduce ang cassava?

@CG-fn2cj 7 ай бұрын

@@TaLeng2023 kunti lang may alam unlike cassava na anywhere meron. Tapioca pearls na yan since. Sagu usually ginagamit lang pampalapot sa "binignit" a.k.a lugaw, tapos sa Agusan Marsh, parang rice ng mga native. But in Malaysia and Indonesia, they use it in noodles.

Another underrated old school sweet is minatamis na santol and minatamis na kamias. You have to dry out the fruits in the sun with lime (apog) and then boil them in syrup. It's still sold by Bulakan Sweets in Retiro.

Sad reality, all heirloom recipes are slowly fading away due to lack of interests and family is shifting to more easier and "commercialized" products for profit convenience. Thank you FEATR for featuring these mouthwatering calamansi nata de coco dessert. I never heard such until now. I hope next time, please tell us or give us idea how it taste like. because honestly ive been waiting for your taste test so all of us watching can somehow have an idea about it. It seems delish. Maybe that's what lacking on this episode.

@krdiaz8026 6 ай бұрын

It could also be due to changing tastes. Making and decorating Western style cakes can also be difficult, but people make them because they like them. It's normal for people to stop liking certain foods. There are also many forgotten dishes and desserts from other countries, hence the existence of channels like Tasting History.

Every Region or Places here in the Philippines , in our country, must have each of their own schooling or learning about each pride, atleast in each and every region to focus on their own delicacies, own heritage of delicacies. So atleast they'll have the interest if God willing, na " ow I never thought or I didn't grow up with this kind of delicacy, but we have it, which seems to have forgotten, our pride, let's revive it, God willing. " Kahit na andito na tayo sa modern world, we should not be the same in some other countries na nakakalimutan ang tradisyon. Ito ay pamana at alaala sa atin ng mga ninuno natin. Siyang tanging magpapaalala sa ating pinagmulang bayan. 🧡 Sendin Love, Filipino Woman 🧡

Nakaka amaze at nakaka tinding balahibo pag nakakapanood ako ng ganitong story na may ganito palang pagkain sa pinas. Yun deep story ng process nito. Nakakalungkot lang dahil sa tingin ko unti unti na mawawala yun ganitong family recipe or tradition dahil iba na generation ngayon parang hindi na interesado sa ganito. Siguro sa future, pinakuluang at minatamis na cellphone na ang papalit dito hehe.
