00:00Two funny and funny comedians will face a cooking challenge here in Alabang Central Market.
00:09Who will be the champion of Rapsaroleta Cooking Showdown Edition?
00:16Welcome Titita and Ian to our Rapsaroleta.
00:21Yes!
00:22I'm so excited, I can't hide it.
00:24I'm so excited, but I can't hide it too.
00:29Our Rapsaroleta is a special edition for the two of you.
00:34We're really special here, right?
00:36Of course!
00:37We're going to make a Rapsaroleta Cooking Showdown.
00:41So that means...
00:42We're going to compete.
00:43Yes!
00:44Of course, I'm confident in that.
00:46Well, I used to cook with my mom.
00:51We have a restaurant.
00:53We have a restaurant, seven restaurants.
00:56Seven!
00:58But here we go.
00:59Here we go.
01:00We're going to determine.
01:01One, two, three, go!
01:02Fry! Fry! Fry!
01:04Fry!
01:05That's it!
01:06Sauté!
01:07Sauté!
01:08Yes!
01:09Can I still cook?
01:14Sauté!
01:18Pork!
01:19Pork sauté.
01:20I have a chef.
01:21Do you know what sauté is?
01:23Literally, you're just going to sauté.
01:24Oh my God, it's so easy.
01:26Right?
01:27You don't even know.
01:28Sauté pork, sauté bitter gourd, sauté pork slices.
01:34Don't worry.
01:35We can do anything.
01:36Just to coach you guys.
01:38So that we can discard what dish you're going to make.
01:40Okay?
01:41Okay.
01:42You're thinking of something based on your smile.
01:44Well, you know chef, we're from Baguio.
01:47Of course.
01:48We're going to make Chapsuy, right?
01:50But with a twist.
01:52Chapsuy a la Curtis, so yummy, so fresh.
01:56I like that.
01:57I like that.
01:59Chapsuy.
02:00For sure.
02:01With a twist.
02:02You have nothing to do with my Chapsuy because you just look like Chaps.
02:05Wow, wow.
02:07This is good.
02:08I love you.
02:09The shots aren't fired yet.
02:12Have you thought of something?
02:13I'm thinking of two.
02:15Sitaw or Upo.
02:17And if it's sitaw, you know it's good to eat sitaw.
02:21It's good to eat.
02:22You just need to add a twist.
02:24What twist are you going to add?
02:25I'm going to add Upo.
02:26It's like sitaw, sitaw, sitaw.
02:29Okay, okay.
02:30Because I feel like I need to cook it deliciously.
02:32Because Pepita, I know she's going to cook it.
02:35Why do you always say that?
02:36It suits her pest.
02:37The texture of the bitter gourd is corrugated.
02:39That's how she's going to cook it.
02:42I'm Upo, I'm a machinist.
02:45Okay, okay.
02:46Right?
02:47Pepita, are you ready?
02:49We're going to cook it.
02:51Sounds interesting.
02:52Trust me, chef.
02:55Time to marketing, marketing.
02:57Marketing.
02:58We're going to see how good you are.
02:59How much is it?
03:0087 kilos.
03:01Because we have a 77 restaurant.
03:03Mommy, just half of it.
03:06Can you add a little fat?
03:09I don't have any.
03:10You don't have any?
03:11Okay, I'll just buy the other half.
03:13We don't have much to buy.
03:15Chop it into small pieces, like chunky.
03:18Tell her, mommy, you're not going to help me.
03:20Tell her.
03:21It's really good.
03:22I'm cooking it one by one.
03:23I think it's going to be different.
03:24Of course, I'm not going to say it's like Pepita's.
03:26Well, I have my own food later.
03:29That's why.
03:30I'm sure.
03:31It's not good.
03:32It's like that, guys.
03:33Guys, it's really like that.
03:35The cans have no contents.
03:37It's noisy.
03:38It's just noisy.
03:39As long as the heart is confident.
03:41What did you say?
03:42We're going to look for the pork ribs.
03:46Okay, half of the heat cream.
03:49Okay, half of the heat cream.
04:03Ate, I will cook sitaw.
04:05Here's some sitaw.
04:06So, please give me sitaw.
04:08Why are you speaking English?
04:09We don't have any.
04:10Because we're in Alabang Public Market.
04:12So, we need to speak in English.
04:14Ate, how much is one tally?
04:17Wow, she has an accent.
04:18It's per kilo, per kilo.
04:20You're so arrogant.
04:21This is all that's left of your sitaw, Ate.
04:23Let's get it.
04:24They're so kind in Alabang Central Market.
04:28Public Market.
04:29Central Market.
04:30It's Central.
04:31Then, garlic.
04:32I need one.
04:34Then, onion.
04:38Just one piece.
04:39What's that?
04:40There's a cheat.
04:41There's no cheat.
04:42There's no cheat.
04:43You should know that there's no added cheese.
04:45Why don't you make your own?
04:47Why don't you know?
04:48Then, chili.
04:50Just four.
04:51Okay.
04:52There.
04:53I'm giving you the chance to choose what to put in my chop suey.
04:56Okay.
04:57See?
04:58You like that more, right?
04:59Yes.
05:00Wise.
05:01Wise, wise.
05:02Ate, what do you want me to put in my chop suey?
05:05Of course, there's carrots.
05:06Okay, put carrots.
05:07There, there, there.
05:08There.
05:09That's perfect.
05:10Do you want to put anything else?
05:11So, you can sell more.
05:12Onion.
05:13There, put onions.
05:14Onion.
05:15Garlic.
05:16And...
05:17It's not included.
05:18Do you want to put bitter gourd?
05:19Or chayote?
05:20It depends on what you want.
05:21Why do you want to know?
05:22I want to eat bitter gourd first.
05:24This is so heavy.
05:25There.
05:26Oh, my God.
05:27Oh, yes.
05:28Oh, no.
05:29Oh, my God.
05:30I didn't believe this.
05:31This is for, you know, convenience for all.
05:34So, our buyers won't have a hard time.
05:36We found a food cart and elevator.
05:40Wow, this Alabang Central Market, right?
05:43This is for the masses.
05:46Fry, fry, fry.
05:48We challenged our comedians, Pepita Curtis and Ian Red,
05:52to buy the cooking showdown edition of Rabsa Roleta.
05:56With a budget of 1,000 pesos each,
05:58I asked them to go around the market earlier
06:01to buy the ingredients for their dishes.
06:04All right.
06:05Cooking time.
06:09Me?
06:10Fresh.
06:11It's really fresh.
06:13And because of that, I still have 672 left.
06:17I only spent 328 pesos.
06:21Check if that's correct.
06:22No, it's not.
06:24I'm not sure.
06:26I was given a budget of 1,000 pesos,
06:28and I still have 1,400 left.
06:31I filled it up because my family is rich.
06:33I have 77 restaurants.
06:34Let's lay out our ingredients.
06:37Of course.
06:39The first thing that came to my mind was chicharon.
06:42And of course, a variety of vegetables.
06:44For the masses, I'm going to cook something easy.
06:47If you're really hungry,
06:48sitaw in English, spring beans.
06:50So, are our ingredients ready?
06:53Yes.
06:54Our aprons.
06:55Let's put them on.
06:57There.
06:58Right?
06:59Yes.
07:00It looks good.
07:02Do you have a message for each other?
07:04I'm quiet at first,
07:06even if you don't choose me.
07:08I'm quiet at first,
07:09but then I get loud.
07:12Get ready, Pepita,
07:13because I'll make my dish better than yours.
07:16Okay.
07:17Ready,
07:18set,
07:19go!
07:20Yes, let's start here so it'll be quick.
07:22Push it.
07:23You know, sitaw, Pepita,
07:25it's easy to cook.
07:27When your family is hungry,
07:29sitaw comes to your mind right away.
07:31You're not the only one who's hungry.
07:33It's because you're vampires.
07:36When I was young,
07:37my favorite vegetables were sitaw and kangkong.
07:40What's sitaw in English?
07:41String bean.
07:42What's the English of cabbage?
07:45Ruffling.
07:47He doesn't know.
07:49What's the English of cabbage?
07:50Chef, if I tell you, you'll know.
07:54Cabbage.
07:55What are you?
07:56That was a long pause.
07:57Yes.
07:58I really thought about it.
07:59You're not making friends, Chef.
08:02How often do you cook?
08:04Actually, in the morning,
08:07I cook breakfast,
08:08lunch,
08:09and of course,
08:10that's not true.
08:11I'm just kidding.
08:12Do you want me to tell you a story
08:13about how I eat all day?
08:15Chef, we're friends.
08:16I know the distances in your house.
08:18How?
08:19On your cell phone,
08:20and it comes right away.
08:22So of course,
08:23because the pan is hot,
08:25let's put the onion first.
08:32There.
08:33Okay.
08:34My string bean is almost done.
08:35Wow.
08:36Can you smell it?
08:37It smells so good.
08:38It's like the corned beef is almost cooked.
08:41Less talk, more work.
08:43That's how it is.
08:44But sometimes,
08:45when you're in a hurry,
08:46you're just thinking about cooking.
08:48Don't rush it.
08:49Take your time.
08:50Because if you're more focused,
08:53and you're not in a hurry,
08:54it's like you're rattling.
08:55It doesn't make the food taste good.
08:57Do you know what makes you fast?
08:59Your tongue.
09:00Your tongue.
09:01That's why you're fast.
09:02That's why you're fast.
09:05I hope that's what you're going to cook later.
09:07I already put the oil,
09:08because it's ready.
09:09I'll just fry my pork first
09:13before I saute the onion and garlic.
09:17Okay?
09:18Because my way is different.
09:19Chef, I'll help you again.
09:21Yes, that's great.
09:23I can do that.
09:24Do that first.
09:25Because I'm the chef.
09:27Because the chef is faster than you.
09:29How old are you, chef?
09:30Sorry, if you don't mind me asking.
09:32I feel like I'm older than you by a million.
09:35No, I feel like I'm older, chef.
09:3641.
09:3741.
09:39I'm already 43.
09:40That's why I know more about cooking.
09:42That's why.
09:43Because my mom used to scold me if I was in a hurry.
09:46Before you, your mom.
09:48My mom.
09:49Because my family is rich.
09:50We bought a house yesterday.
09:52Okay, let's put the, of course,
09:55the ground beef.
09:57He's a rebel.
09:59You know, let's just relax, guys.
10:01Even if we have, even if it's a competition.
10:03Look at him.
10:04He's not done yet, guys.
10:06Sitao is done.
10:07Your vegetables are still whole.
10:08Let's just leave him there.
10:10Then, let's cut the vegetables we need.
10:15There.
10:16I have complete trust in Pipita
10:20because we're from Baguio.
10:22Yes.
10:23See?
10:24You cut it like a knife.
10:30How cute.
10:31I should've bought three.
10:34They say, too much is very bad.
10:37That's why you should...
10:38You should've bought three.
10:40That's why it should be just right.
10:43The cutting is so thick, right, chef?
10:45It's obvious.
10:46Usually, it's just like that.
10:48It's like, wait, Pipita.
10:49I'll show you.
10:50Wait, I want to help you.
10:51Wait, let me do it.
10:53It's like a cake.
10:54Because when you peel a carrot,
10:56it's just like that.
10:57It's just like that.
11:02So, when I cook,
11:03do you really put garlic first?
11:04Yes, garlic.
11:05Okay.
11:06Does that look promising?
11:07Yes, promising.
11:12And I left some garlic.
11:17There, right, chef?
11:20Pepper.
11:21True.
11:22This is good.
11:23I don't use garlic easily.
11:24I want the pork to be tender.
11:26It's delicious.
11:27Wait, is adobo cooked?
11:29This is pork.
11:30That's why I bought it.
11:31Let's add bell pepper.
11:33And lastly,
11:34raffaello.
11:36Wrong.
11:38Just a little salt
11:39to make it healthy.
11:40We don't want the stones to get sick
11:42when we taste it.
11:44After this,
11:45we'll add our vegetables.
11:50Actually, I'm watching you, Pipita.
11:51While you're cooking,
11:52she's laughing.
11:53Pipita,
11:54because she's just playing with the food.
11:56You know what she's doing?
11:58She just wants to put all the vegetables
12:01and she forgot to add water
12:03to the chop suey,
12:04that's why it's dry.
12:05Maybe it's because the water
12:07is not that visible.
12:08That's why I didn't notice it.
12:11I saw the vegetables right away,
12:13right?
12:14Different colors.
12:15So, the water didn't enter my mind.
12:17And I really want it dry.
12:20Because it has to stay there.
12:22I'm just kidding.
12:24Oh, my God.
12:25Oh, my God.
12:26What is she doing?
12:27Is she making toppings?
12:37What is this?
12:38We're done.
12:39We've been resting here for an hour.
12:40And you're still here.
12:41Your string is not cooked yet.
12:43It's okay.
12:44It's up to you.
12:45As long as it's delicious.
12:47It's delicious.
12:52So, here's my Spicy String Bean
12:56with Swiss Egg.
13:00For a delicious Roleta Cooking Showdown,
13:02Ian will make us taste
13:04his Spicy String Bean with Swiss Egg.
13:08He also added his
13:10Chop Suey a la Curtis,
13:12so fresh, so delicious,
13:14so yummy, so-so.
13:17Which one is more delicious?
13:27I told you,
13:28the look of it
13:29when you serve it to me,
13:31it's one of the things I want to teach you.
13:33The taste is just right.
13:37The soy sauce is well seasoned.
13:40As for the string bean,
13:42I like its crunchiness.
13:44So, overall,
13:46this is a winner.
13:48Winner.
13:49Winner, winner.
13:50Okay, thank you.
13:51Don't celebrate yet,
13:53because you haven't tasted mine yet.
13:55Because mine is just healthy.
13:57Here it is.
13:59This is also exciting.
14:05See?
14:06I got it.
14:07I have it.
14:08Love it.
14:09I will not say anything.
14:11Very healthy.
14:12Yes.
14:13Very fresh.
14:14Very fresh.
14:15This is what I will eat
14:17when I have kidney stones.
14:22You seem to have a lot of problems
14:23when you eat that Chop Suey.
14:25You seem to have a lot of problems in life.
14:29It's messy, right?
14:30No.
14:31It's hard to identify the taste.
14:35It's delicious.
14:36And it's spicy.
14:38It's really delicious.
14:41For me,
14:43between the two of you,
14:44the one I will order
14:50is Ian's.
14:53You know, actually,
14:54I don't really cook,
14:55but sometimes,
14:56I'm not perfect.
14:57But thank you,
14:59and I won,
15:00because I'm very close to Pepita.
15:02I know if she can cook or not.
15:04Not really.
15:05That's why I'm confident with her.
15:06I feel that Chef
15:08trusts Ian.
15:10Because,
15:11you know,
15:12he's old.
15:13That's why Chef said,
15:15okay,
15:16let's give it to him.
15:17It's okay.
15:18Patience.
