00:00 But Shai, it looks like we'll have a fresh breakfast, right?
00:03 You're right!
00:05 But wait, Ms. Lina, because it depends if I can catch a fish.
00:09 We'll be fishing for today.
00:14 It's hard to catch fish.
00:15 How can we catch fish? We don't have a fishing rod.
00:17 We don't have one.
00:18 Just use your imagination, guys.
00:21 Yeah!
00:21 While we're waiting for you to catch fish,
00:24 let's go to Chef JR, who's already used to catch and cook.
00:27 Look, Shaira!
00:28 You caught a fish right away!
00:30 I caught something!
00:31 You smoked it right away!
00:33 Correct!
00:33 For sure, you won't let us down.
00:35 Chef, let's taste your tinapa.
00:37 We're cooking something.
00:39 Smell it!
00:40 So fast!
00:43 Hello, hello!
00:46 Shaira, Ma'am Lynn,
00:47 I've answered your question.
00:49 Actually, we're fishing here
00:53 and we're here in the so-called
00:56 Tinapa Capital of the Philippines.
00:57 So, if you're having a tinapa for breakfast, we'll answer that question.
01:00 Because aside from filling your appetite,
01:03 we'll also fill your curiosity with tinapa.
01:06 We're here at Rosario Cavite
01:08 and we're learning how to make our favorite tinapa.
01:13 First, of course, we'll remove the fish from the boat.
01:18 The fish will be brought here,
01:22 we'll wash it, clean it and let it dry.
01:26 As what Maret said, this is a step that will ensure that
01:31 the fish's meat is intact or not soggy.
01:34 Once it's dried, they'll flip it over
01:38 before putting it back in the basket
01:41 and bring it to Maret.
01:42 Actually, this is our export this morning.
01:46 Good morning, Maret!
01:48 Good morning!
01:48 This is our next step.
01:50 After we wash it, we'll drop the fish.
01:53 What's the content of this water?
01:55 Fish sauce.
01:56 Fish sauce.
01:57 -Does it also have salt? -Yes.
01:59 How long will it take to cook?
02:02 About 15 minutes to 35 minutes.
02:06 Okay.
02:08 We'll just make sure that the fish sauce will absorb the salt
02:12 because that's what will make the tinapa last longer.
02:16 After this, I'll help you, Mom.
02:18 How do we do this?
02:20 -Do we just dip it in? -No, just a little bit.
02:22 Oh, just a little bit.
02:24 We have to do this very carefully because
02:28 the fish is already cooked.
02:29 If you do it too quickly, it'll break.
02:33 So, here.
02:35 We'll put it back in the basket
02:38 and then we'll put it in the--
02:41 -What we call "dalara". -The pan.
02:43 -We'll just heat it up. -It's hot.
02:45 Okay, it's hot.
02:46 Once it cools down, we'll heat it up.
02:49 A little bit more.
02:51 There.
02:51 Oh, the front part is here.
02:54 Okay.
02:55 This is the most important step.
02:57 This "dalara" is what we call "tool".
03:01 This is the equipment that we'll use to buy the ingredients.
03:05 We'll fill this up with fish
03:10 and then we'll take it to the fish market.
03:13 Here it is, Mom.
03:14 Let's go.
03:15 -This is Kuya. Let's take this. -I'm not going anywhere.
03:17 -Once we fill this up-- -Oh, my.
03:20 Oh, we're still not done.
03:21 This is the most important step. Good thing Mom remembered.
03:25 We need to shake it to get rid of the excess salt.
03:28 Let's go, Kuya.
03:29 We'll fill this up.
03:32 There. We'll take it to the fish market.
03:33 Let's go, Mom.
03:34 Ma'am, how long have you been selling fish?
03:37 It's been a while.
03:38 About three or four decades?
03:41 -About three. -Okay.
03:43 So, here are the ingredients that we showed you earlier.
03:46 This is what we'll use to make the "papausok".
03:49 We'll use a fish bone.
03:52 There.
03:53 Here it is, KaPuso. This is what it looks like.
03:55 We'll need the bones.
03:57 -Mom, is this hot? -Yes.
03:59 We need it to make it easier to eat.
04:03 We've already cooked the fish earlier.
04:05 Mom, you've been selling fish for more than three decades.
04:11 What's your secret to making delicious fish?
04:14 We need to make sure that the fish is fresh and clean.
04:18 -I see. -Yes.
04:19 -Fresh? -Yes.
04:20 We need to make sure that the fish is fresh.
04:22 -Okay. -We cook it
04:24 so that it'll be delicious.
04:25 -It's not good if the fish is not fresh. -That's true.
04:28 -We don't want to ruin our customers. -Yes.
04:30 I have a lot of customers in Tagaytay.
04:33 -Okay. -That's what they like.
04:35 -Very nice. -That's why I sell fish.
04:37 Okay.
04:37 Mom, KaPuso, thank you so much.
04:41 We've seen the process of making delicious fish.
04:43 Of course, we'll continue our food adventure
04:46 here in your country, Morning Show, where you're always the first to try.
04:50 There you go!
04:51 We caught you!
04:52 We caught you red-handed.
04:54 Oh, Chef JR's next dish is already known.
04:57 It's not the person who's red-handed.
05:00 -It's the fish. -The fish.
05:01 Yes. How else will you level up your food?
05:04 -Oh, Chef! -Take it away.
05:06 Chef, it's here.
05:07 -There. -It's here.
05:08 -It's here. -It's eaten.
05:09 -It's in the bowl. -There.
05:11 I'll answer that.
05:12 All right.
05:13 Hello, ladies. A blessed morning to you all.
05:16 And to all our food explorers, our fellow guests in the studio.
05:21 And yes, earlier, we showed you the process here
05:24 in Rosario, Cavite, where it's considered the Tinapa Capital of the Philippines.
05:28 This is a whole community of tinapa fishermen who live near the sea.
05:32 If you can see our backdrop here,
05:35 the view is so beautiful.
05:36 So, we talked to Maret earlier.
05:40 She's been doing this for at least three decades.
05:43 And I'm sure that in this whole community,
05:46 there are many who have been doing this for a longer period of time.
05:47 So, the fish is cleaned.
05:49 They're taken out of the water and dropped here.
05:52 Then, it's dried.
05:54 Then, it's poached in a seasonal broth or stock.
06:00 And then, after that, it's taken out and put in the steamer.
06:06 That's what Ma'am Lina and Shaira said.
06:08 So, after it's steamed, we'll take the freshly cooked tinapa.
06:17 And our dish this morning is Tinapa with Tomatoes.
06:22 This is a level up.
06:23 Of course, it's delicious as is even if it's just plain tomatoes.
06:27 But if you want to make it longer shelf life,
06:30 this is the perfect dish for you.
06:32 So, we have here the tinapa.
06:35 We'll just add the tomatoes.
06:38 Now, for this dish, it's important to cook the tomatoes thoroughly.
06:44 So, just continue cooking it.
06:45 The other aromatics that we have here are the onions,
06:49 and the garlic.
06:54 And just a bit of flavoring.
06:56 This is optional.
06:57 A bit of shrimp paste.
07:00 So, just continue cooking it.
07:01 After a few minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and melted,
07:05 here it is, Kapuso. Our Tinapa with Tomatoes is ready.
07:11 Our food adventure will continue.
07:12 For solid food adventures like this,
07:15 we're here at your country's morning show,
07:18 where you're always first to hit it.
