00:00The Mpanalong Empanada of Taganorte can also be tasted in the South.
00:16It's delicious.
00:18Some people say that one piece is too much.
00:22So, Resty's solution is to double the amount of meat.
00:25There's a lot of meat.
00:31It's long.
00:32A sure craving satisfied with the Overload Ilocos Empanada.
00:45All the way from the province of Ilocos Norte,
00:48Resty brought the authentic Ilocos Empanada to his hometown in Tanza, Cavite.
00:53I started in 2018.
00:55So, my struggle is if I will continue my business.
01:00Because I'm in Cavite.
01:02So, what I will bring here is food from Ilocos.
01:07That's what I'm thinking if I will open here in Cavite.
01:11Because I don't see anyone selling here, only in Manila.
01:16Even though he's not sure yet,
01:18Resty has already spent his last 20,000 Pesos.
01:22He back-pays it off as a factory worker.
01:26There are still times when I feel down.
01:30But I need to continue because I already started my business here.
01:37Resty has been selling empanadas for almost 2 months.
01:40He still doesn't know anything about his business back then.
01:43But he didn't give up.
01:45For 2 months, I didn't stop posting on social media.
01:50I didn't stop asking for help from my friends in Tanza.
01:58Resty has a strong belief in his Ilocos Empanada.
02:01That's why he fought for it.
02:03It all started with my aunt from Isabela.
02:07She has a wife who is from Lawag.
02:09Every San Tiago festival, I went to Isabela's house to help her with her food pair.
02:17I was with her when she was selling empanadas.
02:20I saw how strong her store was.
02:23That's where I got my strength.
02:26Because I bought a lot from her.
02:28The recipe came from his aunt,
02:30who has been selling Ilocos Empanadas for 25 years.
02:36I sent them to Isabela's house to help me sell empanadas.
02:42Now, I told them that if they want to study, they can come to me.
02:47So that they can have their own business.
02:51Now, I will show you how to make an Ilocos Empanada.
02:56First, we will knead the dough made from rice flour.
02:59Then, we will cut the papaya with mung beans.
03:02We will put the two eggs in the middle and the longganisa.
03:06The ingredients they use are homemade, including the longganisa.
03:10Then, we will make sure that the empanada is sealed so that the filling won't come out.
03:17The empanada is now ready.
03:19We will now drop it in the oil.
03:21What we need in the pan is hot oil.
03:28So that when the empanada falls, it will be ready in 5 minutes.
03:37The Ilocos Empanada is now ready.
03:41It looks basic, but you can try it.
03:44How big is it?
03:45This is hard.
03:47Make it thinner.
03:49Make it thinner and thinner.
03:52You're spreading it everywhere.
03:54What are you doing?
03:56This is hard to spread.
04:00I'm tired.
04:03It's tiring to spread it.
04:05It should be like this, ma'am.
04:07I know, but don't help me.
04:10I need to achieve that.
04:13It's like you don't need to enroll in the gym anymore.
04:16This is it.
04:17Ouch!
04:22I'm tired.
04:23It's right, right?
04:24Yes.
04:27I'm exhausted.
04:28I need to use a technique that is prohibited.
04:31I'll help you.
04:32Okay, ma'am.
04:34What is this?
04:35The kids can see that I'm cheating.
04:38There.
04:40If you eat this, it might come off.
04:42Okay, ma'am.
04:43I think that's okay.
04:44Resti is just laughing.
04:48Okay.
04:49Let's just add papaya.
04:51It's like a Disney character.
04:55I'll just add it.
04:56Oh, it's the eyes.
04:57Wait.
05:00There.
05:04It's Mickey Mouse.
05:05It's Mickey Mouse.
05:06What happened?
05:09My powers can't carry anymore.
05:11Resti, call a friend.
05:13Is my strength not enough?
05:15Yes, it's really your strength.
05:17But...
05:18But...
05:19There.
05:21This hurts.
05:22Yes.
05:24You really need strength.
05:25Yes, strength.
05:26It's like that.
05:29I spread it.
05:32Let's add papaya.
05:36Then, let's make a big circle for the egg.
05:41Wait, is there a hole?
05:42Yes.
05:43There's a canal.
05:45Wait.
05:46There's a canal.
05:47You're not adding it at the same time.
05:54Oh, the egg is coming out.
05:55Okay.
05:56It's okay.
05:57I told you.
05:58Wait, wait.
05:59There.
06:00Like that?
06:01There.
06:02Okay, let's go.
06:03Then...
06:08It's nice.
06:09It's like they're just playing.
06:10Maybe the kids...
06:11It's like they're playing with clay.
06:13Is that okay?
06:14Yes.
06:15The empanada is so big.
06:17Now that the empanada is done,
06:18we're going to cook it in a pan.
06:20You're going to do it like that?
06:21Yes, just like that.
06:29Like that.
06:30The empanada is still big in her hand.
06:31That's why.
06:32You're going to break it if your hand is small.
06:35After a lot of thinking...
06:42There!
06:44She's thinking well.
06:45There.
06:46This is ready.
06:49I don't want to put it.
06:50You do it.
06:51There's oil.
06:52Oh, it's sticking.
06:55The oil is boiling.
06:59You do it.
07:01Because the challenges were successful,
07:04I think I deserve to eat an overload Ilocos empanada.
07:08Ta-da!
07:10The vinegar smells good.
07:11What vinegar did you make?
07:12Homemade vinegar.
07:16Let's try it.
07:23It's good.
07:24It's really good.
07:25The other empanadas are oily.
07:28But this one is not.
07:32The egg is cooked.
07:34It's good, but it's a bit crunchy.
07:35It's crunchy.
07:40That's why your empanada is famous here.
07:43It's good.
07:44It's good to eat when it's newly cooked.
07:46Because at first, the dough is still crunchy.
07:51It's still hot.
07:53I'm just confused if this is a dish or a snack.
07:56It's like I don't want to eat it as a dish.
07:59There's a lot of meat.
08:00It's all meat.
08:04It's good.
08:06What does the people say?
08:09I've tried other empanadas before.
08:12Their dough is crunchy.
08:17But this one is different.
08:18The skin is crispy.
08:20And before you finish this, you'll be full.
08:25The pork belly is perfectly cooked.
08:32It's good.
08:33For me, since we're from Ilocos,
08:37I can say that it's not far from the authentic Ilocos empanada from Ilocos.
08:45That's why we always come back here.
08:48You can buy the overload Ilocos empanada for P100 to P120 depending on the cheese.
08:55For P50 to P80, the smaller sizes depend on the price.
09:01Because of the authentic taste of their Ilocos empanada,
09:03a lot of people come here to taste it.
09:07There are a lot of parties in front of their house every day.
09:12It's a big help to their family.
09:14Especially, Resty's family is his help in the business.
09:18Because of Ilocos empanada, he's able to build his own house and a motorcycle.
09:23His life is far from being a factory worker.
09:27You can't really buy what you want.
09:30Even if we say that I'm working,
09:31I can earn P1530 for P8000.
09:36You can give that P8000 to your mom,
09:41even if you have expenses.
09:43Because of the business, he's able to earn P1530 for a day.
09:49Daily, I can earn P8000.
09:53It's clean.
09:55Resty wasn't sure if the Ilocos empanada in Cavite
09:59is worth his trust.
10:01Because the business was supported by an overloaded effort,
10:05he's sure to win.
10:29ILOCOS
