00:04So, Binondo Boys, we conceptualized it.
00:08Bringing Binondo to different parts of Manila,
00:10it's how we show our creativity.
00:13For the concept of Filipino-Chinese,
00:15one, it's comforting, it's warm,
00:18it's also, again, familiar.
00:21We didn't bind ourselves in tradition,
00:24how we season our food,
00:26how we want to present it,
00:28what we want to add,
00:30even if it's not traditional.
00:31As long as it will taste good to us,
00:34then we'll be happy to serve it to everyone.
00:38Binondo Boys ang isa sa mga halimbawa
00:40ng nauusong micro-dining concepts ngayon.
00:43This refers to a highly curated and intimate restaurant
00:46that caters to a small number of guests at a time.
00:49But don't worry, food explorers,
00:51you will always have a seat anytime within the day
00:54dahil 24 hours silang bukas.
00:56It's more of having, it's easier to expand.
01:01You know, you have small spaces everywhere
01:03and then you put up a small team
01:05and then a small capital.
01:0824 hours kasi it's more of surprising also
01:12that we get the late-night crowd restart.
01:15Good crowd at 8pm going through 4 to 5am.
01:21Sa kanyang pagbabalik sa Farm to Table,
01:23ganadong ganado na si Vince Maristela
01:25na tikba ng mga pagkain binabalik-balikan sa Binondo Boys.
01:29Kung hei Fat Choy, mga food explorers,
01:32at syempre malapit na ang Chinese New Year,
01:342 days na lang.
01:35Ano ba makakainin natin?
01:37Eh di syempre Chinese food!
01:39Chef Marvin, ano ba yung mga inihandaan natin dito?
01:42Dahil palitan ako, dinudumog to ng mga taga-cusings.
01:45Yes, so we'll start with, ano,
01:47our white chicken noodle soup.
01:49We have our braised beef entendo noodles.
01:54And then merong tau seasperic rice, gindara tofu.
01:57We have our dumplings.
01:59We have our hakao and pork and shrimp.
02:02And then for dessert,
02:03we'll have, ano, almond lychee taho.
02:05Itong noodle soup na to, paano ba ito yung inandang?
02:09Ito, for the noodle soup, syempre ang soup.
02:11It's made out of bones, chicken skin.
02:14Then we used dito ramen noodles para maiba naman.
02:18Dito ramen noodles.
02:19Yes.
02:19And then for the chicken,
02:20yung chicken is the most selling point dito
02:22kasi we cooked it very low,
02:25just to the point na maluto sya ng saktong-sakto,
02:29ng 65 degree Celsius.
02:31Paka juicy pa.
02:32Yes, very precise.
02:37Kakaiba sya pa.
02:38Yeah.
02:39Kasi ang Hainanese chicken, we steam it
02:41almost to the point na cooked lang din sya.
02:43So, same as the white chicken,
02:46cooked very precise at 65 Celsius.
02:49Pansin ko, chef, hindi ano, hindi tinipid yung ano,
02:52yung chicken.
02:53Ano laki.
02:55Solid sya, kasi kapag humihigop ako ng sabaw,
02:59yung mga, eto, mga onions,
03:02sumasama,
03:03parang may,
03:05parang may ulam ka na din.
03:06Ang ibig sabihin pala pag ano,
03:08pag Chinese New Year noodles,
03:10long life, prosperity,
03:11tsaka fortunes.
03:12So, pag kumain ako neto,
03:13ayayaman ako.
03:14Yes.
03:15Ahabang kabuhay mo.
03:16Ah, ganun.
03:17Ah, next, eto tayo.
03:18Noodles pa din.
03:19Baka sobang yumaman na akong neto, ah.
03:21Eto.
03:22Dito naman,
03:23we season the noodles lang,
03:25grape,
03:25which is a Chinese seasoning taste.
03:28And then, again, aromatic oils.
03:30Aromatic oils.
03:31And then, we fat.
03:33Tsaka, pansin ko, Chef,
03:34iba yung ano niya, no?
03:35Iba yung noodles niya.
03:36Noodles, yes.
03:36So, we went for these noodles,
03:38kasi maganda yung tapet nung oils,
03:41nung mga aromatics.
03:43I would also suggest,
03:44kung nga rin, ganyan siya,
03:45tiny sticky,
03:46to pour a bit of soup
03:48to loosen the noodles.
03:51Nung sinart mo tong business na to,

03:54na family members.

03:58kada dish na pinapatikim mo sakin,
04:00parang nakatikim na ako ng ganun,
04:02pero may kakaiba,
04:04may kakaibang twist dun sa dish na yun.
04:06This is how we want to show our food,
04:09and ayaw namin na i-compare ka nalang kami sa iba.
04:14Ang ibig sabihin pala ng cake is
04:17new life, fertility, tsaka new beginnings.
04:21Yes.
04:21Kaya pala, kada kain mo,
04:23may itlog.
04:24May itlog.
04:25So, these ones are hakaw.

05:01So, it has shiitake mushrooms also inside.
05:04Shiitake mushrooms.
05:04Pork fat.
05:06Pork shoulder.
05:07Next, we'll try the tau si.
05:10Tau si.
05:10Yung marination ito, which is plum sauce.
05:13And then, yung brown sauce will be our sweet soy.
05:16Ang sakap.

05:26So, gindara is black cod.
05:29Is black cod.
05:29A type of fish.
05:33Sarap ng wasabi mayonnaise, chef.
05:36Hindi siya ganun kaanghang.
05:38Pero yung wasabi,
05:39Nandun.
