00:00If it's big, it's sold already.
00:12It's big!
00:13Of course, so it's worth it, right?
00:16You'll get full.
00:17For a strong food trip, you might wonder, the delicious and spicy empanada in Bulacan,
00:29Bulacan is so long!
00:31And the gigantic barbeque in Taguig,
00:33did it pass through a ruler?
00:35It's amazing!
00:36Look at it!
00:37It's amazing!
00:38This is the size, this is how it looks like.
00:39Our wonder, Andio Pertierra, has an underpan version.
00:43The heavier, the merrier.
00:4718 inches of burger in Batangas.
00:51A lot of team Andio and team Mark will eat.
00:54Let's go!
00:55Team Mark!
00:56Mark!
00:58Team Andio!
00:59Mark!
01:00Team Andio!
01:01Team Andio!
01:02Tata!
01:03Who will be the challenger?
01:04The winner will be chosen.
01:06And for Tiga Cebu, 50 liters of mango float all the way.
01:10A big buffet for the birthday.
01:15Oh my!
01:16You'll wonder, for a food trip, Juan won't be the last one, right?
01:20You want a small size, just for solo, like this.
01:24Food trip.
01:25For others, they want a big one for sharing or because they're saving.
01:32I wonder, what are the winning foods in terms of size and taste?
01:46As long as it's Filipino street food, grilling is the king.
01:56But most of the time, the grilled stick is broken.
02:03But worry no more, Kahwander.
02:05Because here in Taguig, you won't be broken.
02:12Because they grill it time to time.
02:18The mastermind of this giant barbecue is our Kahwander, Lauro.
02:26In 2003, Lauro's family built a grill to increase their daily expenses.
02:37But after a few years, Lauro came up with an idea.
02:43Their barbecue used to be 8 inches long.
02:48Lauro folded it and made it 14 inches.
02:52This barbecue is really worth its size.
02:56When it started, it was really small.
02:59It was a typical barbecue from 2003.
03:02As time went by, I thought of making it bigger.
03:06Then, I went to a store and I saw that stick.
03:14So, I became curious.
03:16I tried to apply it.
03:18When we tried it, it was okay.
03:20So, I said, what if we continue this?
03:22So, that's how we came up with the giant barbecue.
03:29And to find out if the taste is worth it,
03:32we have a giant with us.
03:36Our Kahwander, Angio Pertierra.
03:39This is really big.
03:41It's more than a stick.
03:43Kahwander, this is the perfect size of food that I'm holding right now
03:46because I'm so hungry.
03:48Let's see what else will be released by Ate and Kuya
03:53in our giant barbecue adventure today.
04:04We've grilled our food earlier.
04:06We can't not taste it.
04:08And of course, we can't let go of these huge things and food.
04:12So, let's taste all of the food that we've grilled earlier.
04:17Kahwander, take a look.
04:18This is how big it is.
04:21It's huge.
04:26Even though it's huge, it's delicious.
04:29And it's soft.
04:31It's not hard.
04:33It's thick but it's soft.
04:35Let's see how big it is.
04:37This is how big it is.
04:39It's three times its size.
04:41Sir, how much is this serving?
04:43It's 12 pesos per serving.
04:46It's only Php 40.
04:47It's only Php 40?
04:48Yes.
04:50Do you know what I'm missing?
04:52Rice.
04:56This is Kahwander.
04:58It's low-blood.
05:00But you have to avoid high-blood.
05:02It's Betamax.
05:03Take a look.
05:12It's low-blood.
05:13Kahwander, you have to taste this.
05:15It's so good, so delicious, so worth it.
05:17It's so big.
05:18Everything.
05:25While the two are enjoying their food,
05:27around Lauro's food,
05:29Anjo is preparing a big surprise.
05:31What is this?
05:36Kahwander, of course, we can't let go of this.
05:39Kahwander is 14 inches,
05:41while I'm only 22 inches.
05:43This is how big it is.
05:44Can you see the cuts of our meat?
05:46This is how big it is.
05:48It's for a family, for Adobo,
05:49but this is for a barbecue.
05:55Kahwander, if you're not surprised by this huge barbecue,
05:58I don't know what to do.
05:59Let's surprise him.
06:01Let's go.
06:02Looks like you're a bit nervous.
06:04Since you're the big one,
06:06I won't let you win.
06:07Kahwander and I have a bigger cargada.
06:12This is all I have, Kahwander.
06:15Can you guess how many inches this is?
06:17Where's yours?
06:18Let's compare.
06:20And we'll find out.
06:22I know.
06:23There's a saying, Kahwander.
06:25If it's tall,
06:27it's a big barbecue.
06:29This is the proof.
06:32Legit.
06:33Legit, Kahwander. Approved.
06:35This is the Adobo of two families.
06:39But I wonder what Juan's heart is
06:41when it comes to food.
06:43What's worth it?
06:44Is it big or small?
06:47We'll ask,
06:48what do you want the most?
06:50The big one or the small one?
06:52Let's go.
06:54Ate, Ate, Ate, I have a question.
06:56What do you want more?
06:58The big one
06:59or the exact one?
07:01The exact one.
07:02Why the exact one?
07:03So you can savor it.
07:05It's delicious.
07:06We still have the next target.
07:08Let's finish this.
07:10Hello, good afternoon.
07:11I have a question for you.
07:12What do you want more?
07:13The big one
07:14or the exact one?
07:16Of course, the big one.
07:18Why do you want the big one?
07:19Because it's filling.
07:20It's filling?
07:21But what if this is the only one we have?
07:23We'll split it.
07:24Split it?
07:25So this is the bigger one?
07:26This is the bigger one.
07:27It's overloaded
07:28and it's very filling.
07:29Okay, thank you very much.
07:30Thank you.
07:31What do you want more?
07:32The big one
07:33or the exact one?
07:34The big one.
07:35Why the big one?
07:37Because there's more.
07:38You think too much about the big one, Ate.
07:39So nice.
07:41Wonderful!
07:43Do you also like burgers?
07:45We usually see burgers,
07:47the small ones,
07:48like this one.
07:50But today,
07:51we're going to make a burger
07:53that's triple.
07:55Not just triple,
07:56maybe it's five times bigger than this one.
07:58This is our
08:00burger!
08:03It's like Kawa-sized.
08:05Let's get a burger.
08:07Of course,
08:08we're going to put ketchup.
08:10There.
08:11Let's spread it.
08:14This is the patty.
08:19Then, we're going to put
08:21cheese.
08:23Because this is good for four,
08:24I think it's good for four.
08:26Let's put cheese
08:28for four people.
08:32Mustard.
08:33Then, let's put lettuce.
08:36Then,
08:37we're going to put
08:38the cover.
08:42There it is!
08:46Giant burger!
08:48It's big.
08:49It's heavy.
08:51But did you know,
08:52KaWonderers,
08:53that this burger is going to be bigger?
08:57KaWonderers
09:00In Poblillo, Laural, Batangas,
09:02there's a famous Dambuhala.
09:08Dambuhala Burger!
09:12This giant burger
09:14is owned by JC and Joy.
09:21According to them,
09:22they want to make food
09:23that's perfect in taste
09:24and a perfect way to greet family and friends.
09:28My wife and I dreamt of having our own restaurant.
09:32Of course, we said, why not?
09:34Because it's already known in Lomi.
09:36So aside from Lomi, what else can we sell that the masses would love?
09:40And what we thought of as a couple, of course, was the burger.
09:43Our friend and I thought, let's make a big one.
09:46For the family.
09:47For the family, for the friends.
09:50Their burger will reach 27 inches.
09:53Wow, that's huge!
09:55This is what they call a King Kong Burger.
09:58It's inspired by the fictional character of Gorilla in the movie.
10:04Their other burgers are inspired by other giant creatures
10:08like Godzilla Burger and Jurassic Burger.
10:11It's perfect for sharing.
10:13Three years later, their burger business continued to grow.
10:19But like the Taal Volcano near their town,
10:22it's not always peaceful.
10:25We're close to the volcano.
10:27To be exact, we're 6.8 kilometers from the crater.
10:34That's why when it erupted,
10:36and the 7-kilometer crater was locked down,
10:39That's why when it erupted,
10:41and the 7-kilometer crater was locked down,
10:44we were also locked down.
10:46Sometimes, it's like we're already inside.
10:48But because we believe in God,
10:52that it will pass.
10:54That's why we continue.
11:00To try and taste this amazing burger,
11:03we will still be joined by our wonder, Anjo.
11:07Along with a sparkle artist and content creator,
11:10who is a yes to everything,
11:12Mark Oliveros.
11:14Good day, wonder!
11:16I'm Anjo Vergara.
11:17I'm Mark Oliveros.
11:19And today, we're here in Laurel, Batangas.
11:21And if you can see in front of us,
11:23we're not going to eat samgyupsal, salad, or fish.
11:26But we're going to eat a very special burger.
11:30Because of that, we were invited by Sir JC Landicho,
11:33the owner of Burgers Ahoy,
11:35to teach us how to make a delicious burger.
11:39Here it is!
11:40I brought a burger.
11:41It looks so good, right?
11:42Wow!
11:44The question is,
11:45can you make a burger like this?
11:48That small?
11:49We can do that.
11:50I can only bite two.
11:51This? Can you do that?
11:52But that's not it.
11:53Because what we're going to show you,
11:55what we're going to make for you is
11:57our burger!
12:00Of course, what we're going to make is
12:02our, of course,
12:05burger!
12:06What is that?
12:07I told you,
12:08I'm not going to make a small burger for you,
12:11but a huge burger!
12:14For comparison,
12:15let's try to measure this normal burger to a big one.
12:19Let's see how big it is.
12:20Look at the difference, Mark.
12:24To make a huge burger,
12:26first, we're going to add mayo and ketchup,
12:28lettuce,
12:29tomatoes,
12:30cucumber,
12:31onion,
12:33more than 2 kilos of burger patties,
12:35secret cheese sauce,
12:37and of course,
12:38a lot of burger buns.
12:41That's not all.
12:43We're going to add nachos, fries, and chicken.
12:50Wow, Andrew and Mark,
12:51that's a lot of burger buns!
12:56But I heard that JC has another challenge for you.
13:01JC's challenge is,

14:54our giant lomi!

15:00Congrats!

15:04It's a baby.
15:05It's a baby.
15:09Here in San Miguel, Bulacan,
15:11in a street named after one of the most historical
15:15first republics of the Philippines,
15:17Felipe Buen Camino,
15:19there's a strong snack
15:21that will bring back their ancestors.
15:24Teacher Lani has an example of this.
15:28Teacher Lani is also a teacher and a cook.
15:31She is very eager to cook and experiment
15:34with her husband's dishes from the Buen Camino family.
15:39I've always loved cooking since I was in elementary school.
15:42I also love selling.
15:44What I really love about Buen Caminos is their food.
15:47Being meticulous,
15:48the Buen Caminos are really…
15:51And to make it more eye-catching,
15:53her son, husband, and cousin recommended
15:56to level up their measurements and flavors.
16:01Here's Teacher Lani's lesson,
16:03the recipe for her Dambuhalang Empanada.
16:07The measurement should be 2 inches,
16:10equal to 75 pieces of normal-sized empanada
16:13that are mixed together.
16:16The first time I tried this,
16:17I cooked it in a small pot.
16:20The bottom was cooked.
16:22The problem was that it was split in the middle.
16:25I continued.
16:26My cousins happened to come home.
16:29That's what I served them.
16:31They liked it.
16:32In my mind, it wasn't perfect
16:34because it was just a trial.
16:36I served it to my friends.
16:38Then when I paused that time,
16:41a lot of people ordered.
16:44They were really popular
16:46because when it was uploaded on social media,
16:48it reached more than a million views.
16:52The reason why many people became interested
16:55until it became a hit
16:57for snacks and gifts.
17:00This unique measurement
17:01helped their business.
17:07It's not just the size that won,
17:09but also the taste.
17:11Oh,
17:12those who are floating in the ocean,
17:14you can see it.
17:15There's chicken ala king,
17:16ham and cheese,
17:17and spicy tuna.
17:19Three flavors,
17:21all in one giant empanada.
17:26After,
17:27massage the dough
17:28that will serve as a crust.
17:29Place it in the prepared pan.
17:32Next,
17:33fill it with sari.
17:39Cover it
17:40to seal the sides
17:42that are surrounded.
17:44Using our electronic thermometer,
17:47let's soak it.
17:49Then let's see
17:50what's its temperature.
17:51150 degrees Celsius.
17:54We can now
17:55place our giant empanada.
17:59Lastly,
18:00cook the fish
18:02in a big pan.
18:09After two minutes,
18:11the giant empanada is ready.
18:14It's not oily
18:16because it's in the formula of our dough.
18:19Instead of absorbing oil,
18:21it's withdrawing oil.
18:25But I wonder
18:26where did the empanada come from?
18:28In history,
18:29the empanada
18:30came from Spain
18:32that was called Galicia.
18:35It's been 16 centuries.
18:37The original version of this
18:39is the seafood,
18:41and it's fed to the hungry workers
18:44for sharing.
18:47Our presentation is very playful.
18:51It's delicious.
18:52It's very soft.
18:54It compliments the filling.
18:56The bread is crispy
18:59and soft.
19:02I like the flavor,
19:04like the ham and cheese.
19:07So far,
19:08I prefer the taste of meat and cheese.
19:16Here in Talisay, Cebu,
19:18there's a new type of dessert.
19:20It's called mango float.
19:22It's a strong dessert
19:23for birthdays.
19:25It's the inspiration
19:26of our wanderer,
19:27Gemelo.
19:31He recently posted
19:32a viral video online
19:34where the visitors
19:35are busy
19:36scooping each plate.
19:39The story is about strength,
19:41the delicious giant mango float
19:43in a pot.
19:45It's my birthday.
19:46I thought of making
19:48a giant mango float
19:51to be fed
19:53to the people
19:55in the church.
19:57My intention
19:58is to feed
20:00all the people there.
20:02I didn't expect
20:04that it would go viral.
20:08How can you not be confused?
20:1050 liters of ash
20:11in a big container
20:13equals 35 normal-sized containers
20:15of mango float.
20:19It's worth
20:20Php 4,000 per day.
20:22The craving is for 20 people.
20:25There's even a take-home.
20:27And since it's a blockbuster,
20:29it immediately
20:30got a lot of orders.
20:32Their reaction is,
20:34wow, it's so big.
20:36The biggest mango float.
20:38Wow.
20:39They're so happy.
20:42They're happy.
20:43I'm happy
20:45to see
20:47that they're happy
20:49to eat.
20:53It's not because
20:54it's a big container,
20:55but because of the taste.
20:57The ingredients are
20:58crispy,
20:59bubbling,
21:00biscuit-like,
21:01milk-like,
21:02and ripe mango.
21:07We got to know
21:09Gemma Low.
21:10She has a birthday
21:11in the other barangay.
21:12Celebrant's request
21:14is her favorite mango float,
21:16but make it giant.
21:23That's why we followed
21:25to get to know
21:26the guests
21:27who will be sleeping
21:28in the kitchen.
21:29Happy birthday,
21:31happy birthday,
21:33happy birthday to you.
21:38Okay.
21:39My birthday
21:41is my birthday
21:42if there's a mango float.
21:44I wish for good health.
21:46I'm thankful to God
21:48for giving me
21:49another year.
21:53It's so delicious.
21:55The mythical five
21:57of his barangay
21:58and his student, Franz,
21:59plans to celebrate
22:01his birthday big time.
22:03Instead of a basketball,
22:05he'll give a giant mango float
22:07to his friends.
22:09I wonder,
22:10will the giant mango float
22:12suit their taste?
22:14This is the first time I've seen
22:15a giant mango float.
22:16It's delicious and sweet.
22:17If you eat it,
22:19you'll forget your problem.
22:21It's just right.
22:22It's not greasy.
22:24A simple day
22:25will be special
22:26and full of joy
22:27when you're with
22:28your friends who are
22:29having a hard time.
22:30Join the giant mango float
22:32as the MVP
22:34or Most Valuable
22:35in the morning.
22:38They say
22:39if it's big, it's worth it.
22:40But for Juan,
22:41what's important?
22:42The size
22:43or the taste?
22:47The taste.
22:48Even if it's big
22:49and tasteless,
22:50you won't be able to eat it.
22:51It's a waste.
22:52But even if it's small,
22:53as long as it's delicious,
22:54it's worth it.
22:55For me, it's the taste.
22:56If your taste is really good,
22:57look for it
22:58because you don't know it.
22:59You'll eat the big one
23:00if it's not delicious.
23:02It's really delicious
23:04and worth it
23:05to eat the big ones.
23:06But let me remind you,
23:08everything that's too much
23:10is not good.
23:11So,
23:12be careful with what you eat
23:14and take care of your health.
23:16If you encounter
23:17too much food,
23:18it is always good to share.
23:20Don't force yourself to eat it all.
23:22Just to say that it's a waste.
23:24Let's share
23:25if it's too much.
