00:00Where is it delicious to eat if not in the house, in a restaurant, in a street vendor, or in a market?
00:13For the people of Negros Oriental, before they get up early, they first heat up their chans.
00:24They run this part of their market.
00:28This is what I call heating up.
00:31There are two dozen stores here that sell hot food for heating up.
00:39For heating up, it can be bread, pancit, boiled egg, or rice.
00:45But the most famous hot food here is the 10-555 of Merton.
00:52This is Putumaya that is coated with chocolate, peanut butter, and condensed milk.
00:58Creamy!
01:06It's like the sweetness and the peanut butter are fighting. It's really good.
01:11But wait, why do they call it 10-555?
01:16Putu in Bali is 10, 5 in chocolate, 5 in condensed milk, and 5 in peanut butter.
01:24One day before it's cooked, Merton soaks the sticky rice in water.
01:36Then he boils it in a big pot.
01:39This is how he levels it.
01:42He cooks 10 kilos of sticky rice.
01:50He adds coconut milk.
01:57And so that the rice doesn't burn, he constantly stirs it.
02:10Now, he puts the putu in the pot so that it can be put in the hot pot.
02:20At 4 in the morning, there are a lot of people who want to heat up their hot pot in Merton's hot pot.
02:28My choice is to heat it up over 830 in the morning.
02:31It's just nice to start your day with something sweet.
02:33Mostly, whole center agents and local tourists.
02:36And the perfect match of their 10-555 is the drink they sell, which is called Sari-Sari.
02:45It's like a pearl in the ocean.
02:48Our chocolate is like a pearl in the ocean.
02:53If you compare it to the coffee you drink in coffee shops, this is different.
02:59This is the real Filipino taste.
03:01Every day, Merton can finish 40 kilos of 10-555 and 2 pots of Sari-Sari.
03:09The 10-555 is a recipe that Merton inherited from his grandmother, Filomena.
03:15Because of their passionate love for their hot pot, Merton was able to finish his children in school.
03:24If the weather is good, we can earn only Php 12,000.
03:27On weekends, we can earn Php 18,000.
03:29This is the pancit institution in Tanza, Cavite.
03:38It's perfect for on-the-go.
03:40You can eat it not on a plate, but on a banana leaf.
03:45It's made like an ice cream cone.
03:50They call it pancit estacion.
03:53The name of this pancit is based on where it was sold before, in an old train station here in Tanza.
04:02To maintain its heat, we use banana leaves.
04:08Our food is not cold.
04:11It's easy to make.
04:13Wherever you are hungry, you can eat it right away.
04:16The train station where it can be bought has long been abandoned.
04:19But the love of the people of Tanza for pancit estacion remains going strong.
04:26One of the people who makes it is Alan, a former seaman.
04:30And his wife, Ling Ling.
04:32In their pancit, there are three variants.
04:36Payat, traba, and toge.
04:38Where instead of noodles, they use toge.
04:41So that more people can choose.
04:44Because they want to have breakfast in Tanza.
04:47What makes their pancit delicious?
04:50Toppings.
04:52There are crushed fish crackers, chicharon, tinapa flakes, atampalen, or prinitong taba ng baboy.
05:00In cooking pancit estacion, the couple has their own toka.
05:06Alan prepares the ingredients.
05:07Ling Ling prepares the ingredients.
05:14Ling Ling prepares the ingredients.
05:16They use banana leaves.
05:18I need to make 800 pieces every day.
05:22Because some people want to eat it like this.
05:27They say they can taste the aroma.
05:29If most of the people like it, every night, the couple wakes up.
05:42It's only 2 in the morning.
05:45Their vegetables are arriving.
05:48If you compare it to palabok, pancit estacion is crunchier because of the toge.
05:53The impact of selling palabok and pancit estacion is huge.
05:59We are able to save money.
06:01We are able to buy a house and land.
06:03We were able to buy a tricycle and a motorbike.
06:11The sound of these pans is like an alarm clock of the people of Arnedo in Bolinao, Pangasinan.
06:19When they hear this, it means that their favorite breakfast is already cooked.
06:25Binunge is a Pangasinan word.
06:29It means that it is cooked in a pan.
06:32They use sticky rice.
06:35It is cooked in a pan.
06:37They call it kawayang kiling.
06:40One of the experts in making this is Margie.
06:44She uses a pan.
06:47You need to use the upper part of the pan or the part with a hole.
06:53You need to use a lot of force.
07:07From here, it is 5 inches.
07:10From here, it is 2 inches.
07:12Then, you need to measure the chopped part of the pan.
07:15You need to cut it to the right size.
07:22The sticky rice needs to be cleaned and softened.
07:32After that, you need to mix it with coconut milk.
07:36Then, you need to season it with salt.
07:40We will now put the sticky rice in the pan.
07:43We will leave half-inch so that it will not be raw.
07:45We will now put the sticky rice in the pan.
07:48We will leave half-inch so that it will not be raw.
08:01The bananas are covered with banana leaves.
08:08They are placed in a row on the ground.
08:16And then, it is fired to cook the inside.
08:26We will know when the top is softened and the banana is brown.
08:37And to open the banana,
08:40it is poked with a knife.
08:43It is sold for P50 to P100 per piece in Bulinao Public Market.
08:49It is delicious. It has a smoky and earthy flavor.
08:52The saltiness is noticeable.
08:54It is tasty when it has a stickiness. The saltiness and sweetness explode in the mouth when you eat it.
08:58Because there are a lot of sellers, the competition has increased.
09:02That is why they formed a group that will participate in their selling time.
09:07It is scheduled so that all of us will be able to see it.
09:13Our markets and streets are the heart and kitchen of our communities and towns.
09:21And in this heart, there are a lot of delicious foods that will make our stomachs full or make our stomachs warm.
