00:00 This is delicious.
00:02 Cupid Opa is not yet done with his heart-warming speech.
00:08 Long month.
00:10 And this morning, he targeted Sparkle Star, Isabel Ortega.
00:15 I look like her.
00:17 She says a lot of things.
00:19 Yes. And both are beautiful and very sweet.
00:23 And Cupid Opa is lucky because Isabel has breakfast.
00:27 This is not usual. They will taste and make a devoting bignet with bangus.
00:33 Wow. I heard it right.
00:35 Bignet but bangus.
00:37 Yes. It's different. To taste it is to believe it.
00:40 Oh, they sent us this.
00:42 I love it.
00:44 We will taste it later because we haven't tried it yet.
00:47 Cupid Opa, are you full?
00:50 Did you wash your red shirt?
00:55 You thought your shirt is already retired?
00:57 Partner, don't attack me.
00:59 Yes, I went to the laundry over the weekend.
01:02 My t-shirt and pants are not yet rested.
01:04 But yes, I did the laundry.
01:07 Anyway, good morning again.
01:09 We sent you a devoting bignet with bangus from Maria Isabel's business.
01:14 Which is the newly opened business of our Kapuso store.
01:18 The one and only, Isabel Ortega.
01:20 Yes. Hello Kapuso.
01:22 Hello to the first generation. Hello everybody.
01:25 Happy and sweet morning to us because we are able to have the owner of this business.
01:30 Once again, Maria Isabel's Cake and Pastries. Congratulations.
01:33 Thank you, Kaloy. Thank you so much.
01:35 Another milestone. A lot has happened in your 2023.
01:37 I want to talk about your new business.
01:40 How did it start and whose idea is this Maria Isabel's?
01:44 Actually, this is my mom's passion.
01:47 It's our hobby since I was a child.
01:50 We also had a sample business when I was young.
01:56 Then, it developed.
02:00 For the first time, my mom and I collaborated.
02:03 It's a business now.
02:05 That's where Maria Isabel's came from.
02:07 I noticed that your 3-month-old business has a lot of displays and products.
02:11 Can you walk us through what's in here?
02:14 What we really want here is a one-stop shop.
02:17 You can buy breakfast and dessert.
02:20 We can start here. We have frozen goodies.
02:23 Frozen food.
02:24 We have bangus, kare-kare, and all the recipes that my mom taught me.
02:29 This is basically a taste of my childhood.
02:32 If you think about it.
02:33 Look at this.
02:34 Our favorite Filipino dishes are all here.
02:37 You can have it all at this place.
02:40 It's a one-stop shop.
02:42 What's on this side, Isabel?
02:44 These are our cakes. We have butter cake cookies.
02:47 We have different types of cakes.
02:49 This is after our Valentine's Day promo.
02:51 We have heart cakes.
02:53 I saw it. It's very unique. Maria's heart cake.
02:56 Yes. And it's very quirky.
03:00 I can see that your cakes have a personality.
03:03 This is named after you.
03:05 Yes. Very colorful.
03:06 Yes. Colorful.
03:07 What's on this side?
03:08 This is our bestseller.
03:09 This is our ube cake.
03:11 It's our super specialty.
03:12 It's like an ice cream cake.
03:14 There's ube on top.
03:15 We also have carrot cake.
03:17 That's one of our bestsellers.
03:19 Of course, our classic chocolate cake.
03:21 We have mocha cake.
03:22 We have all types of cakes.
03:24 But we also have our specialties.
03:26 There are a lot of varieties.
03:28 And it looks like you're not just selling the ingredients.
03:30 And this.
03:31 This is what I'm looking for.
03:32 What do we have here?
03:33 Yes. We have binagnet na bangus.
03:36 That's what we're waiting for.
03:37 We have all types of bottled classics.
03:40 But this is my favorite.
03:42 This is a go-to dish if you need something to eat while on the road.
03:47 Or if you're busy.
03:48 This is the binagnet na bangus.
03:50 Of course, I'm not going to let you miss this recipe.
03:53 Of course.
03:54 Isabel, who is the person who made this recipe?
03:56 And please, let me know the process.
03:58 Yes. Of course, I need help.
03:59 So, I'm going to call the one and only mother of mine.
04:02 There she is.
04:03 That's my mommy, Michelle.
04:04 And here, I thought it was her sister earlier.
04:07 Hi, Mommy!
04:08 Hi, Tita Michelle. Good morning, both.
04:10 Good morning.
04:11 And thank you for allowing us to be your son.
04:13 Of course.
04:14 It's a great opportunity for us.
04:17 Of course, for us as well.
04:18 Let's start the process.
04:20 What's the first step?
04:22 You go first, my dear.
04:24 So, let's start with the garlic.
04:26 So, put the garlic, bay leaves, and whole pepper.
04:30 We put the bay leaves first so that it has a base.
04:34 Okay.
04:35 This is what we're going to marinate.
04:37 Yes.
04:38 This is the first stage.
04:39 Let me help you.
04:40 This is where we're going to start putting it in a pressure cooker.
04:44 So, our fish is already skinned and cleaned.
04:49 We just put it in the market.
04:50 And when it comes to the house, we double it again to make sure.
04:55 Quality control, right?
04:56 Yes.
04:57 They make sure that the quality of the food is okay.
05:00 And it's full for sure that it's delicious.
05:03 Yeah.
05:04 But I have a question for you, Isabelle.
05:05 While we're doing the process, I know that you've had a lot of milestones and breakthroughs in 2023.
05:11 It has been really great for you.
05:13 This isn't just your only business.
05:15 You also opened a business with your co-stars.
05:17 Yes.
05:18 And you also had a vaulted flag, which is very successful.
05:21 There's also a...
05:22 A car fly.
05:23 There's a 2023 that is a very beautiful one.
05:25 We all got tears.
05:26 [Laughs]
05:27 Why is it like that?
05:28 But how did you balance all of that in 2023 and you're still able to accomplish a lot?
05:34 Well, honestly, I just went with the momentum, right?
05:38 You have to go with the flow.
05:39 And I just feel that in 2023, I wanted to do a lot of things.
05:44 I had a lot of goals.
05:45 And especially with my mom, I really want to start this business with my mom.
05:52 Because I became passionate when I was young.
05:54 As you mentioned earlier, when you were young, you were passionate about cooking and all.
06:01 And with your business, with your mom.
06:03 And here, ma'am, aunt Michelle, what's next?
06:08 Okay, so we put all of the ingredients.
06:11 And then, of course, our secret recipe is also included.
06:15 Yes.
06:16 It's for the deliciousness.
06:17 So the first stage is we'll boil it for 20 minutes.
06:23 And then after 20 minutes, we'll burn the oil.
06:27 There.
06:28 So why is the oil the second stage?
06:30 In the first stage, there's no oil because we want to make the taste all soaked.
06:35 Because when there's oil, the taste is already soaked.
06:38 So that's the secret recipe of aunt Michelle.
06:41 That's why it's delicious, right?
06:42 Yes.
06:43 I want you to taste this, Kalloy.
06:44 Yes, but suddenly there's a bit of rice on the side.
06:46 Right?
06:47 We're ready here at Maria Isabel's.
06:50 There's just a bit of rice.
06:51 Okay, of course, the process, we'll taste it later.
06:55 But before we taste it, let's go to the finished product.
06:59 Put the sauce.
07:00 Is it okay if I put a bit of oil?
07:01 Yes, a bit of oil.
07:02 Let's go.
07:03 For the heart.
07:04 For the heart, you'll eat the tipitoka.
07:07 I see why.
07:12 Yay!
07:13 Binagnet the bangus.
07:15 Now, it's included in the list of things I'll eat when I crave something bagnet or something fishy.
07:21 Bangus is my favorite.
07:23 And it's boneless, guys.
07:25 It's boneless.
07:26 It's perfect.
07:27 This is a go-to dish.
07:29 But of course, this morning is not just for getting full.
07:33 We'll also make Isabel's heart full.
07:36 Isabel, we have something to do.
07:39 I'll do the demo.
07:40 Suddenly, I'm sweating.
07:41 Yes.
07:42 One, two, three.
07:44 There.
07:45 Wow, what is this?
07:50 So, this is our surprise.
07:52 Of course, we need to listen to your morning.
07:54 This is, let's open.
07:56 Okay.
07:57 What is this?
07:58 There you go.
07:59 Oh, it's a love lock.
08:02 Yes, this is just like what Miguel did.
08:06 The surprise for you during Valentine's Day.
08:08 Since you were apart during February 14, Valentine's Day, he did something.
08:12 And he did a love lock when he was in Korea while you guys are apart.
08:17 Oh my God.
08:18 So, we'll give you a chance to do what he did.
08:21 Just pull it, whatever.
08:23 Of course, we know what you will write.
08:25 And this is our question, Isabel.
08:28 If you have a chance to do it, which is this, where will you put it?
08:34 Where will you lock it?
08:36 We don't have a barricade here.
08:39 So, maybe here in the open.
08:41 There.
08:42 Of course, even if Miguel is with her, it's still here.
08:48 It's like a piece of Miguel is with Isabel all the time.
08:52 There.
08:53 Open all the time.
08:56 Miguel and Maria.
08:59 We're not just full this morning, we're also thirsty.
09:03 Alright, thank you very much, Isabel.
09:05 Thank you.
09:06 And of course, to Miguel.
09:07 Yes.
09:08 Later, Miguel and I will be watching you.
09:11 And we'll be here when they're still awake.
09:13 Because the desserts are there.
09:14 And we'll finish the recipe.
09:16 It's here in your country.
09:17 Morning show, where you're always first.
09:19 First period.
09:23 But our Cupid is also full.
09:25 Oh my, not just the dessert, but also the delicious food that Isabel Ortega made.
09:31 It's delicious to eat that, Kaloy.
09:33 Correct.
09:34 And their breakfast date is not yet over because it's time for dessert.
09:37 Kaloy, you're getting a lot.
09:40 I'm getting a lot.
09:41 What is that?
09:42 I'll taste this.
09:44 Oh, I'm caught.
09:49 Sorry, sorry, sorry.
09:52 Even off-cam, I'm eating and I really enjoyed this.
09:55 Let's visit the newly opened business of our Kapusu store, the one and only Isabel Ortega.
10:00 We're back here.
10:01 Yes, hello.
10:02 Isabel, thank you for going through the process of deboning the boiled pork.
10:08 Of course.
10:09 And now, we're going to the dessert.
10:11 Your cake and pastries, the focus of your business.
10:15 What do you have there?
10:16 This is actually our bestseller, the Ube cake that I want you to taste.
10:20 This is one of my favorites.
10:22 It's like an ice cream cake.
10:24 Okay.
10:25 So, it's not the typical Ube cake that we eat.
10:27 Yes, it's best served cold.
10:28 In between, look at that.
10:30 It's so unique, right?
10:32 Because it has, what is this?
10:34 This is icing, right?
10:35 It has Ube on top.
10:37 So, it's like it's going to pour, it's like it's going to ooze out.
10:41 Right.
10:42 That's the idea.
10:43 So, it's not just soft on the inside, it also has a liquidy, which is the Ube.
10:49 Let's taste it.
10:50 Oh, I just tasted it.
10:52 I got a big one.
10:54 I was just supposed to taste it.
10:55 How is it?
11:03 Heaven on earth.
11:05 And this is a slice of heaven, literally.
11:07 Yes.
11:08 I just came up with this.
11:09 I didn't compose this before.
11:11 And I didn't have to go to Baguio.
11:13 All the way to Baguio for Ube, it's just here in Quezon City.
11:17 And of course, we have chocolate chip cookies.
11:18 This is my specialty because this is my favorite recipe that I really love to bake.
11:24 So, you baked it yourself?
11:26 Yes.
11:27 Oh, wow.
11:28 With love and it's really delicious.
11:29 I'm still eating.
11:33 So, I'll get one here.
11:34 Yes.
11:35 Thank you so much, Isabel.
11:36 Break it in the middle so they can see it.
11:38 Guys.
11:41 Wow.
11:42 Oh, my goodness.
11:44 I'm excited.
11:47 Let's eat.
11:48 Okay.
11:49 How is it?
11:56 Isabel, can you wrap the segment?
11:58 Okay, guys.
11:59 It's delicious.
12:02 Yay.
12:03 Just to share, and we talked about this earlier,
12:06 Isabel, these cookies are my comfort food, actually.
12:10 And to be able to taste the very work of Isabel Ortega,
12:13 here in her own business, is such an honor.
12:16 And thank you so much.
12:17 Thank you so much, Caloy.
12:19 For welcoming us here in your business.
12:22 My dear guests, I'll invite you first.
12:24 And let's go back to the studio first.
12:26 It's delicious.
12:29 It's done.
