00:00Crispy pork with natty sauce and bagoong on the side.
00:05Do you crave for kare-kare?
00:07What if this is your daily craving?
00:11This is a must-try dish in Binondo, where you can find this Filipino favorite dish.
00:19It's only been open for 3 months but it's already selling 5 digits a day.
00:23As long as it's a food trip, Binondo is always on the top of the list.
00:32Everyone is looking for Chinese food.
00:39Hello guys, welcome back to me to young and beautiful me.
00:42We're here in Binondo for a food trip.
00:45But here's the twist.
00:46We're not looking for Chinese food.
00:50No, we're looking for Filipino food.
00:52So come with me.
00:54Let's go, let's eat.
00:57In Binondo, there's always a variety of food.
01:00And Paracuyano's favorite is kare-kare.
01:04This lady is from Taguig.
01:06I've watched your vlog.
01:08I've been to many places in Taguig.
01:11I really crave for kare-kare.
01:16At first glance, it looks like an ordinary kare-kare.
01:18But the secret is in the sauce.
01:21What's that?
01:23Your chef owns a restaurant.
01:25It's only been open for 3 months.
01:27But there's a lot of customers.
01:29Especially in the afternoon and evening.
01:31He used to be a chef in hotels and cruise lines.
01:34And now, he's trying to build his own business.
01:37But why kare-kare?
01:39I'm from Binondo.
01:40So Chinese food is very accessible.
01:43You can buy and eat it anywhere.
01:46When it comes to kare-kare,
01:48you have to eat it in expensive restaurants.
01:51It's too pricey.
01:53It's hard to find.
01:55So I said,
01:57let's try kare-kare.
01:59Let's introduce it to the masses.
02:01This is their budget-friendly meal,
02:03lechon kare-kare with rice.
02:05For Php 100,
02:07your cravings are already solved.
02:09If you're on a low budget,
02:12they have kare-kare overload
02:14lechon kawali,
02:15beef,
02:16and duck.
02:17It's only Php 250.
02:22Chef, I heard you're trying to build your own business
02:25because of kare-kare.
02:27Yes, we're trending on social media.
02:30People's awareness is spreading.
02:32Everyone is searching for kare-kare.
02:34You're looking for kare-kare.
02:36Of course, when you're in Binondo,
02:38you're looking for Chinese food, right?
02:40I'm doing my first stop in Binondo.
02:42Oh, really?
02:43Yes, I'm doing my first stop in kare-kare.
02:45That's where I found Chinese food.
02:48Before your chef used the right recipe for his business,
02:51he was plagued by problems.
02:54In 2021,
02:55I have a physical store in Caloocan.
02:57Kare-kare, too?
02:59Actually,
03:00I have different struggles there.
03:02The menu is different.
03:03There are sisters.
03:04So, it's not kare-kare?
03:05Yes.
03:06In 2024, I can't do it anymore.
03:07I'm drowning in debt.
03:10Chef Mon owed half a million pesos
03:13for his previous business.
03:15I know the technicalities of operations.
03:17I know how to make delicious food,
03:21how to cook, and everything.
03:22But the problem is,
03:23I don't know how to do business.
03:26Learn from your mistake.
03:27He became Chef Mon's motto.
03:29I was given the opportunity
03:31to have a space here in Binondo.
03:33I studied about business.
03:37That's how I started.
03:39Chef Mon will show you the secret of his kare-kare,
03:42the sauce.
03:45First, saute the onion and garlic.
03:48You put the onion first?
03:49Why?
03:50It's easier to saute the garlic.
03:54Why white onion?
03:55Why not red?
03:56Red has a strong flavor.
03:58Actually, white onion is delicious.
04:00It's delicious to eat even raw.
04:07We can now add the beef stock.
04:11Since you already added the sauce,
04:12you need to increase the heat.
04:14Yes, so it will boil.
04:16Next is the ground peanuts.
04:18It's not peanut butter.
04:19It's really ground peanuts.
04:20Why ground peanuts?
04:21Peanut butter has sugar components.
04:23So that's why it becomes…
04:25This is really ground peanuts?
04:26Yes.
04:27It smells like ground peanuts.
04:28I want to keep eating this ground peanuts.
04:32You can't forget the achuete for coloring.
04:36Let's taste the sauce.
04:45It's enough.
04:47You just need to thicken it with the mixture of water and flour.
04:52Chef, this is the sarsalang ulam na.
04:55That's it.
04:57Sarsalang ulam na.
05:00So this is it.
05:01Chef Mon's kare-kare overload.
05:04It has lechon kawali, beef filling,
05:07and tata with string beans, eggplants, and pechay.
05:12That's it.
05:21Mmm.
05:25Delicious.
05:27Delicious.
05:29I can't stop eating.
05:30Chef Mon's kare-kare is really delicious.
05:35This is my favorite kare-kare.
05:38Oh my.
05:39This is really worth it because you don't have to throw anything here.
05:43To be honest, I don't like ulamen because I get fed up with the sauce.
05:49This has flavor.
05:50You can eat this without bagoong.
05:52Oh my.
05:53Let's have another overload kare-kare.
05:57Chef Mon's video content helped him to get famous online.
06:03Social media is really powerful.
06:05It's true.
06:06It's up to us how we use it.
06:10Chef Mon's videos are not just for marketing.
06:13Not only to let them know that there's a kare-kare in Binondo,
06:17but to inspire them.
06:19So I'm telling them about my business,
06:21how to do it in one day.
06:23So double purpose.
06:25I want to expand my reach.
06:27I want to inspire normal people who watch my vlogs and reels.
06:33At the same time, I want to monetize my business.
06:36Since I met him, my business is booming.
06:39I have 15,000 subscribers.
06:41It's slowly increasing.
06:43I have 20,000 subscribers on average.
06:45Now, I have 30,000 daily subscribers.
06:50Chef Mon is paying his debts
06:53because of people's support in his kare-kare.
06:55I'm paying less and less.
06:57But my target is to be debt-free by the end of 2024.
07:03Even if it's hard,
07:04we swear for our dreams
07:06because in business,
07:07we learn from our mistakes.
07:10We don't always swear.
07:13Of course, before we swear,
07:15we need to study the process.
07:20So by the next time we swear,
07:23we'll win.
