00:00I also know a perfect match for you guys, Chicharol and vinegar!
00:07Is that a mushroom?
00:10Let's see if this is really good, Shai.
00:12You're going to taste it this morning.
00:16They say that you can't just dip it in vinegar.
00:20You can also dip it in chocolate.
00:24That's why this morning, Shaira is going to try it.
00:28Come on, Shai. Let's Shaira!
00:29I'm really an ally. I don't want Mateo to eat this every morning.
00:33I'm an ally, but this is really different.
00:35This is the first time I've seen something like this.
00:38Shaira's big one has a barcode on it.
00:41Oh, really?
00:44Come on, let's try it.
00:47Wow!
00:50Oh my gosh!
00:52Roll it like this.
00:56One, two, ready?
00:59Hahaha!
01:03Shaira, is it a marshmallow?
01:05I don't know.
01:06Dried mango?
01:07Hahaha!
01:08This is a big dried mango, right?
01:10How does this giant Chicharon cook?
01:13Let's find out.
01:14All the people are asking this.
01:16Here's our food explorer, Chef JR.
01:18Good morning!
01:19Oh my gosh!
01:20Is the Chicharon still delicious, Chef?
01:21That's just my clothes, Mateo!
01:23A blessed morning!
01:24A blessed morning to all of you!
01:26A blessed morning, Kapuso!
01:28Yes!
01:29As you can see, Shaira and Brother Maten are enjoying themselves.
01:32Because our food adventure this morning is gigantic!
01:36And this is just what they showed us.
01:38It's like a medium-sized Chicharon.
01:41The one we have here is bigger than what Shaira's holding.
01:45Because we were able to go inside the tubulakan,
01:48where our food adventure is really interesting.
01:52Look at how big it is and how it looks.
01:55It's really exciting.
01:57And of course, I know you're curious as well.
01:59Aside from the excitement we're feeling because of our giant Chicharon,
02:04let's talk to the expert and the one who's really good at this 50-year-old recipe.
02:11Joining us this morning is Sir Joseph.
02:14Sir, a blessed morning!
02:15Good morning!
02:16Sir, as you can see, the quality is really good.
02:19The presentation.
02:20I mean, for food, you should be able to get the wow factor right away.
02:26If your Chicharon is this big, it's a winner.
02:29Sir, what's the secret behind this big Chicharon?
02:33Actually, what we're using here is the back skin.
02:37It's the skin of a pig.
02:39Okay. So, literally, it's on the back.
02:41Yes.
02:42So, when you go to the pork loin area,
02:46it's the skin of a pork chop.
02:48That's right.
02:49I've been saying that this is a 50-year-old recipe.
02:51It's from my grandmother.
02:53This is an heirloom recipe, Kapuso.
02:55It's a winner.
02:56After we prepare the back skin,
02:59what are the next steps to make a solid, gigantic Chicharon?
03:03We'll pre-cook it before we fry it.
03:06Okay.
03:07So, here we are.
03:08As you can see.
03:09So, this is what we'll be doing.
03:11We have some secret spices here.
03:13That's why we've mixed the oil.
03:18This is to make sure that our Chicharon will be delicious.
03:22We're not just using traditional cooking oil.
03:26So, we have some spices here.
03:27So, you have your own spices here.
03:29Yes.
03:30How important is pre-cooking for this Chicharon?
03:33It's very important.
03:34That's what we're trying to hide.
03:36The secret recipe.
03:39So, this is also your chance to infuse your own flavor, right?
03:45Yes.
03:45Alright.
03:46So, what are the next steps?
03:50Actually, we're gonna transfer it here.
03:52It's quite hot.
03:54Approximately around 500°C.
03:56That's quite hot.
03:58This is our giant Chicharon.
04:00As you can see, this is the original size.
04:03This is the back skin that Sir Joseph was talking about.
04:06So, we're gonna dip this in 500°C cooking oil.
04:12Sir Joseph will show us how to do it.
04:14So, there's a process like this.
04:15You can't just dip it in the oil, right?
04:17No.
04:18It's a bit meticulous.
04:19Yes.
04:20We're gonna make sure to achieve 500°C for about an hour.
04:25Okay.
04:26This cooking oil also has secret spices in it.
04:30There you go.
04:31It's like magic.
04:33So, this is a two-man game, right?
04:36Yes.
04:37You can't just dip it in the oil.
04:38If you don't touch one end of the Chicharon, it'll crumble.
04:42It'll crumble.
04:43Okay.
04:44Sir, how many pieces of this Chicharon can you eat per day?
04:47For our Giant Chicharon,
04:48we usually eat an average of 10 pieces per day.
04:51Sometimes, we even eat 20 pieces per day.
04:54Why is that?
04:55Is there a specific reason why you limit the amount of Chicharon you're giving?
05:01It's so we can make sure that the process is not a joke.
05:06So, the process should be very intrinsic.
05:10Actually, yes.
05:11There you go. Two people.
05:12Then,
05:13it's continuous.
05:14It's not a joke.
05:15The Chicharon is tripling in size, right?
05:18Yes.
05:19How long does it usually take to cook?
05:22Approximately one to two minutes.
05:24Okay.
05:25He said he's ready. He's giving a thumbs up.
05:27This is what it looks like.
05:29Sir Joseph, it's a winner in a way.
05:31It's a brand new Chicharon.
05:32There you go.
05:33It's making a sound. We even have a sound check.
05:35How much does it cost?
05:37Usually, it's around P2 per gram.
05:41So, how many grams of Chicharon does it weigh?
05:44It's around P250 to P300.
05:46So, it's about P500 to P600.
05:49Alright.
05:50Sir Joseph,
05:51I'm glad that it's still popping.
05:54I need to taste it.
05:56But you'll be happier if you dip it in the next step.
05:59There you go.
06:00Speaking of which,
06:01it's my cue to get some dip.
06:03I heard that they have their own homemade dip recipe.
06:09Aside from the size of the Chicharon,
06:12what's most interesting here is their dipping options.
06:17They have vinegar and their own barbecue sauce.
06:20And I think this is the most unique of all.
06:23As you can see,
06:25this is our chocolate.
06:28I want to see how they dip the Chicharon.
06:31This is the right decoration for dipping a giant Chicharon
06:36in their homemade locally sourced chocolate sauce.
06:42My God.
06:44It's like...
06:47It's amazing.
06:48What's good about this is that it balances out the sweetness and saltiness.
06:51It's a winner with texture, Kapuso.
06:54That's how solid our Food Adventures are.
06:57As you can see,
06:58the giant, solid, and legendary Food Adventures
