It's PORKALICIOUS!
For the pork lovers, meat lovers, cooks, and just about everyone who loves to eat delicious food.
When I was a kid, i loved pork. I would choose pork over beef or chicken. But as i grew older, i have lessened my pork intake (too much fat!) to only when I'm craving for a certain pork dish (like adobo, lechon) or when i just want to pause from eating chicken. Watching the process of how they use all the different parts of the pork and cooking them in so many ways was so satisfying.
Episode 1 mostly centered on the different ways to cook samgyeopsal or pork belly. The video is Ultra 4k so i was salivating as i see them grill the pork belly and watch the pork fat drip ? The last scene in episode 2 where they ate oven baked crispy pork belly looked so similar to our own lechon kawali or boneless lechon belly I'm surprised they haven't thought of cooking it before. I only eat pork belly once in a while, i prefer the other parts of the pork so i enjoyed watching episode 2.
Episode 2 showed the other parts of the pork, like grilling pork tenderloin, pork and rice soup, sundae soup, braised pork tail, jokbal (pig's feet), head meat, jamon. Im surprised they didnt have a section on bossam. Yummy!! ? I think we eat every part like they do, but we like to fry everything (like pork cheeks) or put in a sizzling plate (like sisig).
It was also interesting that just like pinoys, when there's a special occasion, they just go slaughter a pig and have a feast. For us it's lechon (roasting the entire pig), for them it's cooking the pig under the fire or boiling them.
I dont think they have exhausted all ways on how to cook pork. They havent tried our crispy pata (deep frying the pig trotters -- they boil or braise them instead). And largely because of difference in culture and produce, we have our own menudo or afritada (using tomato sauce), sinigang (sour soup), Hamonado, ginataan (using coconut milk) and binagoongan (using shrimp paste) to name a few.
Don't watch on an empty stomach or you'll be binge eating after (just like what I'm about to do now) ?
