00:00 [singing]
00:18 I thought you were going to sing the whole song.
00:20 One more time.
00:21 [singing]
00:31 That's a lot of versions.
00:32 Let's just sing.
00:34 Of course.
00:35 I'm imagining Chef JR will catch a crocodile.
00:39 But it's hard.
00:41 There's a chance that the crocodile will bite him.
00:43 But don't worry, Caroy.
00:44 Because the crocodile that Chef will catch today is in a condo.
00:49 Condominium?
00:50 Condo, two bedrooms, name it.
00:52 Wow.
00:53 Fully furnished.
00:54 100 square meters.
00:55 It's in a condo.
00:56 And Joe and Alimangon are leveling up.
00:58 But this is the so-called vertical farm of mud crabs.
01:02 Chef JR, how will you catch it today?
01:06 Teach us about vertical farming.
01:09 Hello!
01:10 Yes, Chef!
01:11 A blessed morning, Caroy and brother And Joe.
01:16 Our food adventure is very social.
01:19 Earlier, I was getting ready because I thought I was going to get drunk again.
01:23 Because our video this morning is called Mud Crabs.
01:26 And if you remember our previous food adventures,
01:30 we really get drunk with our puns.
01:33 And like what Joe said in the studio,
01:35 we leveled up or we went to a different way of taking care of mud crabs
01:42 here in Alfonso Cavite.
01:44 And of course, to learn more about the details of our social mud crabs,
01:49 we have with us this morning, Sir Carlo.
01:51 A blessed morning, Sir.
01:53 This is our food adventure.
01:55 Sir, what is vertical farming?
01:58 Basically, vertical farming is a way to grow Alimangon.
02:03 It's not horizontal.
02:04 It can grow more Alimangon per square meter.
02:08 Like this?
02:09 Yes.
02:10 -Because-- -Regular pond setup is small.
02:13 But this one, you can multiply it by 10.
02:16 -You can get more. -Yes.
02:18 So, how much total capacity do we have here?
02:23 We have 720 boxes.
02:27 720. So, you have 720 tenants.
02:31 But our maximum capacity is 2,000 boxes.
02:34 That's a lot. As you can see, it's challenging to catch them.
02:38 Actually, it's more challenging if you're in a pond
02:41 'cause you'll have to feed them.
02:44 So, this is a bit systematic.
02:46 But we won't waste our time this morning.
02:51 We have crabs here that are already prepared.
02:55 This is safe for catch and cook.
02:59 But this is just like what we did earlier
03:02 where we showed you how to catch them.
03:05 Here are the crabs.
03:07 The claws are already tied so this is safe.
03:10 How long do you take care of this?
03:15 Usually, this size.
03:17 -Usually, one month. -One month.
03:19 So, you get this at a certain stage, right?
03:22 This size.
03:24 But the difference is that this one is fatter.
03:27 We feed it regular, twice a day.
03:30 -So, it's usually fish? -Yes.
03:33 I'll just show you this. It's very interesting.
03:35 Let's just zoom in, Food Explorers.
03:37 This is the soft shell.
03:39 As in, the back is soft.
03:42 -What's happening here? -The whole body.
03:44 The whole body. What's happening here?
03:46 -This is how they grow. -Okay.
03:49 Now, they'll remove the old shell so that the new one can expand.
03:53 But you have to harvest this within 3 hours.
03:57 -Oh, I see. -So that you can catch them.
03:59 -So, the soft shell is a stage. -Yes.
04:02 Of the crab that it'll be replacing.
04:04 Very interesting. Thank you so much for the overview that Sir Carlo gave us.
04:08 And here's an info for you, Sir Carlo.
04:10 We have a bit of fresh ingredients that we can cook.
04:17 We'll give you a not-your-typical recipe.
04:20 Sir Carlo, I'll be the one to answer your question.
04:23 Let's put this aside.
04:24 This is our mud crab that we'll be making a "Tortang Alimango" with a "sayote".
04:33 So, basically, we have here our crab meat.
04:37 We've steamed our freshly caught mud crab.
04:42 The ingredients are typical.
04:45 There's nothing special about it.
04:47 Aside from the crab meat, we also have the stir-fry.
04:52 We have the "sayote", we have the onions and garlic.
04:56 So, what I'll do is, I'll put it in our hot pan.
05:03 And then, we'll add the onions and garlic.
05:10 Of course, we'll season it with a bit of salt and pepper.
05:16 And then, we'll add our crab meat.
05:19 While the flavors are being combined,
05:23 we'll just wait for the crab meat to be absorbed by the ingredients.
05:31 The crab meat that we stir-fried earlier.
05:33 Of course, it won't be a "torta" if we don't add the eggs.
05:36 But if you feel like the protein is already over,
05:40 you can actually exclude the eggs.
05:42 But the point is, you'll be able to extend the crab meat.
05:47 We'll just add a bit of crab meat.
05:50 Just enough for the presentation.
05:53 What's nice about this is that we're showing you different ways of growing crabs.
06:01 So, it depends.
06:02 For example, if you have a limitation on space,
06:06 then vertical farming is definitely one of the things that we can consider.
06:10 And if you have a hectare of land,
06:15 then definitely the traditional pond method.
06:19 Sir Carlo said that the fattening stage is the most important part of this.
06:24 Meaning of fattening is when the crab is being fattened.
06:29 After a few minutes, we have here our "tortang" crab or "alimango" with "sayote".
06:39 It's ready. It's a very easy recipe
06:41 for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even for snack.
06:44 If you add this to your bread, it's still a winner.
06:47 So, our food adventure here at Alfonso Cavite
06:50 with this very solid recipe is just here.
06:53 In your country's morning show, where you're always the first to hit it.
06:58 Here it is.
06:59 We're not yet done with our surprises and greetings to our guests.
07:03 Even though there's no cooking,
07:04 the catching of Chef JR's "alimango" is still challenging.
07:07 Yes, we still need to be careful and the crab is painful.
07:11 But it's still a great partner for Anjo, so let's bring him back to his crab adventure.
07:16 Hi, Chef!
07:17 A blessed morning, Chef!
07:20 A blessed morning!
07:21 Hi, everyone!
07:22 Hi, Shaira!
07:23 Caloy and Anjo, it's nice to see you all here in the studio.
07:26 We're still here at Alfonso Cavite in a vertical farm
07:29 where our crabs are very social.
07:32 Because, Sir Carlo, our crabs are in a condo unit.
07:37 So, let's quickly recap.
07:39 When we say "vertical", it means the water is recirculating.
07:43 Yes, recirculating.
07:44 When it's recirculating, you can be in inland, far from the sea.
07:47 You can take care of them.
07:48 Just like here in our mountain.
07:49 We're in the mountains, we're at the top because Alfonso Cavite is the neighbor of Tagaytay.
07:53 And this is what you're holding, Sir.
07:56 We were talking about how big our crabs are.
08:00 How big is the amount of care you're giving them?
08:01 Here, we're giving them 1.5 to 1.5 kilos.
08:04 That's the biggest one you have?
08:05 Yes, that's the only one available. It fits in boxes.
08:07 But in the wild, it can be bigger.
08:09 Just like the one with the mud outside.
08:11 Yes, we have a model of a mud crab that's about 3 kilos.
08:16 But that's in the wild because these crabs have a specific size that they need to be fed.
08:22 Alright. Thank you so much, Sir Carlo, and your team.
08:26 Vertical farming of mud crabs.
08:28 Just go to their website for training and other information.
08:31 And of course, our food adventures will continue here in your country, Morning Show,
08:37 where you're always first!
08:40 Morning Show.
