00:00It can be a rice dish,
00:03it can be a bread filling,
00:05there's no time limit on when you can ask for it.
00:10You can have it for lunch or dinner,
00:12and it's a perfect breakfast.
00:15That's why the Pinoy Hotdog is in the Top 22 Best Filipino Breakfast
00:19according to tasteatlas.com
00:26What are you eating?
00:27Huh?
00:28Hotdog?
00:29Tol, let him taste it.
00:31Huh?
00:32Huh? Hotdog?
00:34That's the expression of the gents nowadays
00:36when they can't understand what they're talking about.
00:39But do you know that hotdogs
00:41in Sampaloc, Manila,
00:42is the beauty of higher income?
00:52Big.
00:54Long.
00:56Filling.
00:57That's the level-up hotdog of 25-year-old Niko.
01:01The overloaded hangar started during the pandemic.
01:05I was stuck at home, I wanted something to happen.
01:07So I thought about how to cook it easily,
01:10what's cheap and affordable.
01:12I thought of an overloaded hotdog.
01:14I put different toppings based on the US.
01:19After talking online,
01:21Niko decided to make a hotdog stand in their garage.
01:26But while the business is flourishing,
01:28Niko went through a difficult trial.
01:31He was diagnosed with leukemia
01:33and needed three years of treatment.
01:36It was hard because while I was running the business,
01:39it was just the beginning,
01:40I had to work every day.
01:42I couldn't do that because I had to go back and forth to the hospital.
01:46Aside from the business,
01:47you have to think if you're okay.
01:50Niko's parents didn't want to continue his business
01:54because it might be bad for him.
01:56I said, this is what I want to do.
01:58And until I grew up, they supported me.
02:03Niko didn't finish his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration,
02:07Major in Marketing Management because he got sick.
02:10But he kept fighting for his business.
02:12I went back to school for one semester.
02:14I felt like this is not for me.
02:17I said, I'll just continue my business.
02:19School is a privilege.
02:20If you can do it, it's better if you finish it.
02:26Now, Niko is in good health.
02:28He's continuing his journey in his business.
02:31He sold the former name of his hotdog sandwich business
02:34and made a new one.
02:36Bigger and more competitive.
02:38I've been reading books.
02:39I'm self-studying on how to make a business.
02:42Mostly, my friends are also culinary.
02:45I asked them for advice on how to upgrade the menu,
02:49so I added a twist.
02:51Aside from delicious flavors,
02:53Niko's hotdog sandwiches also have different names.
02:56Niko's hotdog sandwiches cost Php 90 to Php 110.
03:01You can choose Hungarian or Chicken hotdog.
03:04The Manila sandwich has chili con carne with overloaded cheese,
03:08mayo, ketchup, and mustard.
03:11The Laomlaan sandwich has bacon and golden egg with cheesy white sauce.
03:17Niko's Palawig sandwich has fries with garlic mayo.
03:22Intrasandwich has veggies with caramelized onions, pickled relish, and tomatoes.
03:28There's also a sandwich with teriyaki sauce, Japanese mayo, and nori seaweed.
03:33Niko's Binondo sandwich has a takoyaki taste.
03:38You can make a combo order with fries or nachos for only Php 145 to Php 160.
03:44You can still choose to add sauce and toppings depending on your bet.
03:50Niko can eat from 200 to 250 hotdogs a day.
03:56Niko spent Php 10,000 on his savings.
04:00He was able to buy ingredients.
04:02His income leveled up to Php 100,000 a month.
04:10You have a lot of toppings.
04:11Yes, ma'am.
04:12It looks appetizing.
04:14Why did you name it after different places in Manila?
04:18I have hometowns in Manila.
04:20Really?
04:22Teach us how to make bestseller toppings and sauces, Niko.
04:27For the chili con carne,
04:29sauté the chili flakes in oil.
04:31Next, add the tomato paste.
04:34We'll mix the meat.
04:35The meat?
04:36Yes.
04:37Okay.
04:39Then, add the tomato sauce and water.
04:43When it boils, add Niko's 7 secret spices.
04:46Season with sugar to balance the flavor.
04:49Here are our chili con carne toppings made by Niko.
04:54Next, we'll make the sauce.
04:56Yes, ma'am.
04:57What sauce is this? White sauce?
04:58White cheese sauce.
05:00Dissolve the butter first.
05:01Then, add the cornstarch.
05:03It will thicken.
05:04When it thickens, add the milk and cheese.
05:08It's done.
05:09It's a bit thick because of the cornstarch.
05:12The white sauce is ready.
05:15To make the teriyaki sauce,
05:17pour the Japanese wine and rice wine.
05:19Then, add the rice vinegar and garlic.
05:21Then, add the sugar and cornstarch.
05:24Here's Niko's teriyaki sauce.
05:28It's time to taste Niko's level-up hotdogs.
05:38It's good.
05:39Even the chili con carne has a different flavor.
05:42Let's try the nori with teriyaki sauce.
05:50It's good, ma'am.
05:52It's hard to choose.
05:55It's still white sauce with bacon and sunny side up eggs.
06:04The sauce is good.
06:05I tried three hotdogs, but all of them are good.
06:09Their beef is really tasty.
06:12It's really good.
06:13It's the best.
06:14It's one of a kind.
06:15It's not ordinary.
06:17It's tasty and worth it.
06:22A good customer relationship is one of the things that helps Niko to attract more customers.
06:27It's not usual to take an order and go.
06:30I can really talk to them.
06:32I collaborate with content creators.
06:36Because Niko is consistent and never gives up on his business,
06:39he's happy with the things that his son needs.
06:43Niko also bought other things for his hotdog sandwich business.
06:50When there's a challenge in the business,
06:52and there are personal problems,
06:55just hold on tight and continue the fight.
