Take the 7 train 30 minutes outside of Manhattan to the 61st Street Station
Woodside's little Manila neighborhood it dates back to the 1970s just after an
influx of Filipino doctors and nurses flocked to the Elmhurst Hospital for
work. Over half of all Filipinos living in New York City reside in Queens. There
are over 50,000 Filipinos currently living in Woodside if you're looking for
authentic Filipino food this is the place to be. Fans of the fast food chain
Jollibee can enjoy a full menu at the first Jollibee ever opened on the East
Coast for dessert we had their famous halo halo and peach mango pie. The
peach mango pie is a light and crispy pastry pocket of steaming hot peach and
mango
fried mango goodness halo halo means mix mix in Tagalog (the language) it is a refreshing
Southeast Asian version of an American's banana split. It is a layered dessert
which can include red beans fresh fruit a lot of shaved ice, evaporated milk,
leche flan, crunchy rice krispies, topped with purple ube ice cream, you are
supposed to mix everything together and eat it like a sundae.
If a filipino restaurant has dessert, nine times out of ten it's going to be halo halo.
And we're here at House of Inasal, it's looking pretty beautiful. All over Asia
you've got shaved ice desserts topped with all sorts of things and halo halo
is how it's in the Philippines and honestly it can be I've seen all
sorts of things in halo halo, now here at House of Inasal it looks like they got the
shaved ice and the evaporated milk which is pretty typical at the bottom they've
got red bean that's either red or corn and those long threads those long
thick threads are our macapuno which is coconut -I like coconut - mutant coconut - mutant coconut?!
so you know what happened now typically in a coconut what happens is that the
meat separates and the coconut water but without the puno it doesn't separate so
it's it's much it's got a much softer sort of jelly
aqa2q texture than a typical coconut and it looks like you've got tapioca
pearls and this this little purple month there is kuba Hylian which is jam made
from purple yam we got a little bit of fun there again that is like another of
the in Spanish magazine in Kezia it's topped with PEP
which is it's essentially a Filipino rice krispies what you do is that you
take take sticky rice won't still green you pound it flat and then you toast it
and then you've got blue Bay ice cream which is a wonderful thing shall we try
it yeah now traditionally you're actually supposed to stir it and then
mix it all together probably make a mess honest with you I intend to eat the bits
one at a time okay rather than mixing it all together but you're supposed to mix
it all together because hallo hallo means mix mix I
don't make that a little bit so like I kind of just want to keep it I can't
understand okay get a little bit of this ube ice
cream a little bit of those bubbles the textures are really mixing so nicely
it's my newest book actually traditionally based me be more likely to
be used these days because you know are so much easier to source amazing I love
this purple the color it's so pretty this is so good the ube ice cream is
amazing it's so nice and creamy let's try the flan oh yeah
tell me what they call on the ice cream and it's their take on the Filipino
dirty ice cream which is it's an Ice Cream Sandwich
so in the Philippines on the street they'll be these parts and they will
serve you ice cream between pieces that sounds
like soft sandwich bread what it looks like they do here is they serve it on
from the south and they spread the Hylian purple yam jam and sides and the
top will be ice cream with mokopuna coconut and people
I really like them in the movie ice cream I wanted everything from our okay
all right moment the textures we've got so many good textures here and like oh
it's trippy good excuse us we're gonna TP in a Halliburton like basically how
we start poeple Darryl is like you know we're like more like an American bakery
first that you know as we go on since I have a background and I'm Filipino you
know I I'm from this neighborhood as well so we tried to like introduce or
reintroduce Filipino flavors all over again young from the desert from the
cupcakes to the donut and now obviously you know now we start hopefully do you
guys come over and see what it is like we could we could offer something like a
cupcake but instead of having just chocolate vanilla we have in purple yam
mukha panel which is coconut and an and really reintroducing again you start
this Asian flavor not only Filipino and to the world wider variety of you know
nationality we are here at purple dough and I am so excited to try this this is
huge this holla holla is so big it's actually a really impressive
see you've got Jack's room in the side you got white bean red bean and it looks
like candy chickpeas and a big chunk of Lube a Hawaiian purple purple yam jam
long blue bad ice cream mango ice cream and guinea pig which is Filipino crisp
rice
mm-hmm hmm I really like the taste of the red
beans all the beans the ube yeah Maya it's so good I just had some
ain't gonna be ice cream
yeah missmiss flavor is this mango mango mango ice crusher Philippine mango ice
cream say no more I understand now I understand mmm I love mango so good
so you're supposed to mix it all together
but that appears to be impractical and also you ruin the presentation
I agree presentation right here this is front and center but apparently we're
supposed to mix it up so to mix in all of the flavors basically exactly so this
is a shaved ice that once mixed up it kind of gives it all that flavor
throughout yeah so good once it's mixed up it becomes this slush with all sorts
of stuff in it okay and it's so cute so cute it is so that purple color again
comes with it moving that purple yam is free deep purple color it looks like
they've used to go to hell Ayanna has the place just to the coconut also yeah
let's try it
hmm
really slapped really moist I love that coconut on top is so good I really like
this makes purple dough here would son come here try all of these things so
good and we have more coming yes or do we have more coming too so what is this
one these are Sylvanas they are individual
certain size portions of a Filipino dessert called as Santa Rudolph II now
such about cake is based on the French - Claus what happened was that Filipinos
went to France study and they adapted the de cause to the Philippines addict
waz is a meringue of hazelnut or almond but since we don't have those in the
Philippines we substitute cashews instead traditionally but here they also
do pistachio version oh I can't detect it - again a time both where should we
start which one start with the trans that's traditional okay that's the
classic I gotta try the traditional cashew can I break it yeah
can i I don't know if I could see it's good it's gonna be harder in the middle
but it isn't me out isn't it don't be afraid so snap it babies not snappily
straight I just did a great job of breaking it's not breakable it's that
soft which I think it's gonna be a good texture it's a mess but I'm gonna I'm
gonna try it out the truth about the combination of the meringue and the
buttercream oh I like this it's very soft the meringue I can taste the
meringue the soft what is this sort of like doughy bottom
I think that would be the meringue that's the marina yes you've got it
looks like it's great there's no raggy butter peanut butter cream sandwich
buttercream and then again gosh cashew awesome hmm try the other one
really okay fine I'll try the other one fine maybe just take it bite it this is
what might be easier I think I might just take a bite yeah I'm trying to
break it was not no successful
I love pistachios so I think this is possibly my favorite probably over the
cashew but Tasha is more traditional good to try both and that buttercream
like you can't get it screwed over that creaminess yeah it's like a mini little
cake that's exactly what it is that's exactly what it is so if you want cake
but you don't feel like getting a whole cake and eating it all you get this
little mini cakes so far so cool I'm crashing from the sugar rush we ate so
much food I know there's a Kim I can't believe it if you're not and you're
still hungry watch her videos video and food in your channel I think I need to
come back to try more it was just like I don't know we barely scratched the
surface even though we did eat a lot but there's a lot of good Filipino treats
here in an area I agree so come here try for yourself go check out your channel
with all of the best food and yeah if you like this video comment below your
favorite thing that you enjoyed watching and you want to try next
