00:00In the recent times, what is not to be missed?
00:04Of course, the soup is always present.
00:07That's why Juan is not going to miss the experiment of cooking beef.
00:12Different dishes, different flavors, and even hotpots have come together here and there.
00:19The hotpot is the strong soup where you can choose
00:22what you want to season and flavor.
00:25It was believed that it came from China.
00:27And when it arrived here in the Philippines,
00:30there were also different combinations.
00:34Our companion, Paul, is a Chinese-Filipino.
00:39His family has been bonding together in the traditional hotpot.
00:43And their old favorite, they also made a business.
00:47They chose to serve assorted beef parts.
00:52But with all the beef parts,
00:54would you believe that the main ingredient in their food
00:57is the beef part,
00:59or more commonly known as beef butt and balls,
01:03which is often paired with soup number five.
01:07The Spaniards, they brought cattle over to the Philippines.
01:11It was more or less exclusive to the Spanish community here.
01:15The Filipinos, the natives, were not fond of beef back then.
01:21Beef was rare at that time.
01:23They are being resourceful.
01:25They need to use whatever part, so nothing goes to waste.
01:29Because the soup with the organs,
01:32that started out in the Chinese communities here.
01:36Here at Paul's hotpot restaurant,
01:38they clean and slice the beef
01:41into thin pieces to serve in their hotpot.
01:45There you go, fellow wanderers.
01:46Of course, it's raining a bit right now,
01:48and as you can see, the surroundings are a bit wet.
01:52Let's try one of the most delicious hotpots here.
01:55So let's go and find out how delicious it is.
01:58Let's go!
02:03Good morning, sir.
02:05Good morning.
02:09We have beef balls.
02:10Beef balls.
02:11This is our cheese ball.
02:12This is prawn balls.
02:14Prawn balls.
02:15This is squid.
02:17Fish ball.
02:19This is lobster ball.
02:20It's all balls, right?
02:21Don't you have baseball or football?
02:23Oh, we don't.
02:24We don't have any yet.
02:25We're just fixing it.
02:26Our main dish here is our beef.
02:31For the soup,
02:32what we got today is spicy.
02:36Spicy.
02:37And herbal medicinal soup.
02:39Wow, it looks like I'm okay with herbal.
02:43I hope you're here, Mama Su.
02:45Oh my.
02:47Wow, you're rich for today, Empoy.
02:49It looks like you have a lot of beef.
02:51Okay, Paul.
02:52Give Empoy a kiss.
02:53He's your bestseller.
02:56We have something we want you to try.
02:58Let's try all of them, sir Paul.
03:00This is the best.
03:02Most of the time, adults order this.
03:05What is it?
03:06This is the main ingredient.
03:08Ginger.
03:09It's called soup number five.
03:10Oh, really?
03:11This is what we call back-end balls.
03:13Or in Tagalog,
03:15beef balls.
03:16It's not high-blood, right?
03:17No, it's not.
03:20Back-end balls.
03:25You're rich.
03:28This is my first time trying this.
03:30Should I dip it in the sauce?
03:31Yes, sir.
03:34Preferably, dip it in the sauce.
03:37Actually, I can't really eat it.
03:39Because when I first saw it,
03:41I couldn't eat it.
03:45It tastes like ox brain.
03:47The other day, I already tried ox brain.
03:50I felt dizzy.
03:53I was worried that I might feel dizzy later.
03:55But it's not like that.
03:57It's delicious.
03:58It's crunchy.
03:59The inside is like a fried lechupla.
04:03But it's delicious.
04:05When it comes to food,
04:06as they say in Chinese culture,
04:08if you want to improve something
04:10in your body,
04:11you eat that part of your food.
04:15That's why a lot of men here
04:17order that.
04:19Is it expensive?
04:20Yes, sir.
04:22If you think about it,
04:25in a hundred,
04:26it's all male beef.
04:28Of course, every beef,
04:30there's only one set of that part.
04:33And we really fight for that supply.
04:36And that's all you have?
04:38Yes, sir.
04:40Mami Sua is also worth it.
04:42And to our fellow Wanderers,
04:44for Php 999,
04:47you can choose different parts of the beef.
04:51Kory Karian, MPOL,
04:52and of course, don't forget
04:53to be careful when consuming beef.
04:57It has protein,
04:59it has minerals and vitamins
05:01like B vitamins
05:03that we can get from animals
05:05and minerals like calcium.
05:07It's not an ordinary meat.
05:09It has a higher level of cholesterol
05:12so it can be bad for us
05:14if we eat too much
05:15and too often.
05:17It doesn't change
05:18depending on the cut,
05:20but it's possible
05:21that because it's thinner,
05:22you eat more
05:23when you don't notice it.
