00:00Oh, Kuya Kim, are you in for a delicious food trip?
00:04Are you still asking that, Susan? Of course, we're IG. We're in.
00:08If I say it's a delicious food trip, no one will say no.
00:11A street food that is usually sold in food carts or bicycles in China
00:16is what will amaze us today, Kuya Kim.
00:19It's like a burger, but it will also taste unique.
00:23Oh, it's delicious.
00:25It's really delicious.
00:26It's really delicious.
00:29Juicy and flavorful beef patty with different vegetables and herbs.
00:34Isn't it appetizing?
00:36But the Chinese have a different version of the burger.
00:38And here in Manila, you can taste the 2,200-year-old Chinese burger, Rojiamo.
00:47One of the best sellers of this food is Rojiamo.
00:50I went to China and we tried Rojiamo.
00:53And we realized that there's no established store that can create authentic Rojiamo.
01:01The cook of Rojiamo in Amor's restaurant, Chef Miao, is from Shanxi province.
01:08We outsourced to a chef who has roots in authentic Rojiamo.
01:13He knows the traditional recipe that's passed on from generation to generation.
01:18The word Rojiamo literally means meat in a bun.
01:22Ro means meat, jia means in the middle, and mo means bread.
01:28Rojiamo started in Shanxi province two millennia ago, according to Professor Sidney Christopher Bata.
01:35It started with meat in the Zhou dynasty.
01:40But the bread was caught in the Qin dynasty.
01:42In China, this is a street food that is often sold in food carts or bicycles.
01:47I think that's one of the reasons why people like it because it's grab-and-go.
01:54It's similar to the traditional bread with meat filling of Russia,
01:58which is called piroshki and arepa in Venezuela.
02:02Some of you might hear it like doner, like a Turkish meat sandwich.
02:08Amor makes the dough for Rojiamo.
02:11The meat that is filled is boiled for two to three hours in a broth with 20 spices for flavor.
02:18That's a lot!
02:19There are a lot of spices in authentic Chinese dishes.
02:23This includes star anise and cloves because that's what the ancestors use for flavor.
02:31They used to fill the meat with pork, but now they also use beef and chicken.
02:37They toast the bread in a hot pan while the meat is fried.
02:42The fried meat is topped with onion leeks and meat sauce.
02:46When the bread is cooked, they cut it in the middle like a bun.
02:50They put the filling and it's ready to serve.
02:54One Rojiamo costs P150 to P200 depending on the meat filling.
02:59It's my first time to eat a burger like this.
03:02It's my first time to eat a burger like this.
03:05It's crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
03:10And it's flavorful.
03:12It's different from the smell and the taste.
03:15The tradition of a place can also be tasted in their food.
03:19And no matter how they cook it, even a thousand years have passed,
03:23and no matter where it goes, if it's taken care of, it will still taste delicious.
03:32Susan, I'm going to taste this Rojiamo for you.
03:34It smells good.
03:35If you smell it, it smells like Chinese herbs.
03:38Yes, because there are a lot of herbs.
03:40And the bread is a bit crispy.
03:42Because it's like...
03:48It's like asado.
03:49Asado! That's what I was thinking earlier.
03:52It's like asado, the taste of the meat.
03:54But the bread is flaky.
03:57Yes, it's flaky.
04:00I've never tasted this before.
04:01Flaky, flaky.
04:02Let's go to the flaky part.
04:04Actually, it's delicious.
04:05It's delicious?
04:06Yes.
04:07When I spread it out, I just remembered what we ate in Coast Guard.
04:10But the food is delicious.
04:12Let it be.
04:13It's in my mind.
04:14No, let it be.
04:15Coast Guard is proud of this.
04:19It's delicious.
04:20That's what Filipinos do, right?
04:22Yes.
04:23What's different from this is Rojiamo.
04:25It's a famous street food in China.
04:28And my brother said it's delicious.
04:30The taste is...
04:31Asado.
04:32Asado.
04:33That's what I was thinking earlier.
04:34It's like siopao.
04:35It's like siopao.
04:36It's delicious.
