00:00The favorite of the Ilocanos is the Kinilaw, but it's not the fish that makes the Kinilaw.
00:06This is called Caliente.
00:11But it's not just the fish that makes the Kinilaw, there's also something made from the skin of the Kalabaw.
00:15The source of this food is the construction workers like Roddy.
00:20Since I was a kid, until now, I still eat this.
00:24It's delicious.
00:25It's a snack.
00:27It's good for lunch.
00:30We, the Ilocanos, are fond of Kinilaw.
00:34That's why we make Kinilaw with the ingredients of vinegar, ginger, and onion.
00:42The skin of the Kalabaw is the main ingredient of the Kinilaw.
00:45It's grilled to get rid of the bones.
00:49And it's peeled to get the burnt parts.
00:53Then, it's boiled for 4 hours or depending on the age of the Kalabaw.
00:59Caliente.
01:01It's like a potato.
01:05What is it?
01:06It's like a potato with fat.
01:08It has fat, right?
01:09This is their bestseller.
01:11Is it high in cholesterol?
01:13Cheers!
01:14Cheers!
01:17This is my first time eating this.
01:19The texture is like gelatin.
01:21Yeah.
01:22It's like a candy for kids with sugar.
01:26Minus the sugar.
01:28It's chewy.
01:30That's the texture.
01:31Yeah.
01:32But the taste is a bit salty.
01:36Yeah.
01:38The specialty of this dish, which has been eaten by Ilocano dishes for 5 decades,
01:43is Paksiw that is not salty.
01:46Is that possible?
01:47What we know about Paksiw is the Paksiw that is fragrant and salty.
01:52But our Paksiw here is sautéed in Papait, which is what we call in Ilocos.
01:57That's why it has a bitter taste.
02:00It's not the usual taste that you taste in other places.
02:03It's a unique taste here in Ilocos.
02:07Sinanglaw in Ilocos Sur.
02:09But here in Ilocos Norte, this is called Paksiw.
02:12It's been eaten for a long time.
02:14Their vinegar has a taste when you order from them.
02:19Our locals here, when they eat,
02:22they mix the vinegar with chili right in our Paksiw.
02:28Maybe the taste of our vinegar is different from the usual vinegar of other places.
02:35It's to control the bitterness.
02:39In Ilocos, we're more into flavorings.
02:45We're from Bintar, ma'am.
02:47We ordered everything.
02:53It's not only the locals who approve of this dish,
02:55but also the celebrities who have tasted their food.
02:58Aside from Paksiw, their crispy dinuguan is also served.
03:03And la uya or nilagang baboy with red soup because of the tomatoes.
03:08But, let's eat!
