00:00While we're on our way home and preparing our lunches,
00:04Ben brought us a recipe from our neighbors.
00:08The ingredients for the Ampalaya Soup are pork ribs, ginger, garlic, goji berries,
00:15also known as wolfberry, dried dates, and ampalaya.
00:22For the Tocino Fried Rice, butter, garlic, onions, tocino, rice, mixed vegetables, and egg.
00:31What's the story behind this in your life?
00:34For the Ampalaya Soup, I really like bitter food.
00:39Why is it bitter?
00:41I think it's because of that.
00:43Because of what I've been through in life, my palate is really bitter.
00:47You're relating it to the taste.
00:49It's like there's no sweetness in my body. It's really bitter.
00:53That's sad.
00:55We'll talk about that later.
00:57But seriously, why?
00:59I just like bitter food.
01:00Today is the day.
01:02I'm craving Ampalaya Soup.
01:04It's a specific kind of taste that does not overwhelm you.
01:09Too sweet, too salty.
01:11Does it taste healthy to you?
01:13A little.
01:15So you feel like you're healthy.
01:17He's making things complicated.
01:19There's something wrong with his tongue.
01:22For the Tocino Fried Rice,
01:24it's just the tocino that's left in the refrigerator.
01:29That's the effect of liking bitter food.
01:33You'll get sick.
01:35What's the process of this?
01:37So we're going to start with the Ampalaya Soup.
01:40Because this is what needs to be soaked and boiled for a long time.
01:43Is this our pork ribs?
01:46Yes.
01:47Is this for the Ampalaya Soup?
01:48Ampalaya Ribs?
01:49You're making me laugh.
01:51So we've softened this.
01:53Okay, so what are we going to use for the soup?
01:56This is what we're going to use for the soup.
01:58Ah, the pork that's been boiled.
02:00Yes.
02:01Because it takes a long time.
02:02Sometimes, one to two hours.
02:03So if the pork is like that, it'll be cooked right away.
02:08Can I help you, Benedict?
02:10Sure.
02:11So I can see the ways of a professional.
02:13You don't have to be a professional, Joy.
02:16Because you're the one who's worshipped.
02:18See, the chef is so soft.
02:19It's good that he's holding it.
02:21Go ahead, Benedict.
02:24Because the chef is so excited.
02:26Let's start with the aromatics.
02:28What are you doing at the same time?
02:29Ginger.
02:30Ginger and goji berries.
02:31Goji berries.
02:32The ginger is delicious.
02:33Let's put all of this.
02:34I don't know if you can see the goji berries.
02:35He's making juice.
02:37It has antioxidants.
02:40Wow!
02:41Wait, I'm curious about this.
02:42Before I put it in.
02:43What do you call this?
02:44Goji berries.
02:45Goji berries.
02:46With my tea.
02:47So he's using it for flavoring.
02:52Right?
02:53It smells good.
02:54Yes.
02:55Hey, I think it's good to make tea.
02:56There's a little...
02:57Yes, you can.
02:58You can make tea.
02:59Right?
03:00And then, dried dates.
03:01These are dates?
03:02Yes.
03:03Ah, all of these are okay.
03:04Okay.
03:05Then we'll add a little salt, of course.
03:07For the...
03:08Salt.
03:09Salt, of course.
03:10Okay.
03:11There.
03:12And then we'll boil it.
03:13Boil it for a long time.
03:14Perfect.
03:15Okay.
03:16Then while we're boiling this, we can start the tosino fried rice.
03:21Okay.
03:22There!
03:23I'm excited about that.
03:24Time manager.
03:25Is it true that you also made this soup?
03:28Yes.
03:29Actually, a lot of people were surprised that I'm craving for bitter gourd.
03:32Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
03:34Oh, it's delicious.
03:36So you also made food content?
03:37Yes, mukbang.
03:38But that's eating.
03:39What?
03:40Mukbang eating.
03:41Before, it's mukben.
03:42So I cook and then I eat.
03:43Mukben is so smart.
03:44Who came up with that?
03:45There's no one else but Ben.
03:46But when I eat, I crave for Ben's.
03:47Today, I am craving this.
03:48And then, thank you so much for watching.
03:49How did your content creation start?
03:50Before, I really wanted to be an artist.
03:51Oh.
03:52But it's more...
03:53It's more...
03:54It's more...
03:55It's more...
03:56It's more...
03:57It's more...
03:58It's more...
03:59It's more...
04:00It's more...
04:01It's more...
04:02It's more...
04:03It's more...
04:04It's more...
04:05It's more...
04:06It's more...
04:07It's more...
04:08It's more...
04:09It's more...
04:10It's more...
04:11It's more...
04:12It's more...
04:13It's more...
04:14It's more...
04:15It's more...
04:16It's more...
04:17It's more...
04:18It's more...
04:19I had an opportunity in content creation because I think times are different now.
04:20But I watched you.
04:21You also made a teleserie.
04:22With Kate.
04:23Yes.
04:24And Barbi.
04:25So you experienced being an artist.
04:26Yes.
04:27Hi guys!
04:28I'm your resident rich girl here, Kate Lin.
04:29And I'm your resident purita girl, Gina Lin.
04:30And I am your guest host, Benny.
04:31So guys, you're probably wondering now, why are we on live?
04:32The time when I was on TV,
04:33When I was on TV, I was still figuring out where I was as a content creator, where I was as an artist.
04:40Now, it's more.
04:42Where am I as a father?
04:43Because I feel like in content creation, I've already mastered the system.
04:47But what else can I do?
04:50It's like you're craving for the challenge because you're also craving for growth.
04:55Yes, yes.
04:56It's exciting.
04:57Because if something does not scare you, it's like you don't have a voice anymore.
05:01That's true.
05:02You know you have growth when you're scared.
05:04That's right, when you're not comfortable.
05:06Anyway, since we're going to cook Tocino Fried Rice,
05:09I'll just transfer this here and then we'll cook here.
05:12Okay, let's switch.
05:17Lutong Bahay is back.
05:19We already cooked Ben's Ampalay Soup.
05:23Now, we're going to cook the partner of this Tocino Fried Rice.
05:29We're gonna put butter.
05:31Is butter better?
05:32Yes.
05:33Put all of it?
05:34All of it?
05:35The more, the better.
05:36That's a lot of rice.
05:37Okay.
05:38We already cooked the rice that we bought earlier.
05:41While you're talking, I'll put this so that you won't be too anxious.
05:45What should I cook first?
05:47This first.
05:48Tocino first, of course.
05:49Tocino.
05:50Do you know that Tocino is my favorite?
05:51Really?
05:52Yes.
05:53What about you, Mikey?
05:54Me.
05:55It's already boiling.
05:56Is there anything else to do?
05:57We can put the bitter melon now.
05:58Oh, good.
05:59Do the honors.
06:00I'll open it for you.
06:01What a privilege.
06:04I've been watching your content.
06:06You're so handsome.
06:07Me too.
06:08I've been watching your cooking.
06:09Really?
06:10Is that a plus point for you?
06:11Of course.
06:12Of course.
06:13My husband is really good at cooking.
06:14Right?
06:16We're going to soak the bitter melon so that it will soften.
06:18Hey, the smell.
06:19Do you eat bitter melon?
06:21Because you don't cook it.
06:22Of course, I can.
06:23I learned it because of the cooking house.
06:26How was your childhood, Benedict?
06:28My childhood started as a sari-sari store.
06:31We sold slippers there.
06:33Really?
06:34On the street.
06:35They didn't believe it because…
06:36It's because of you.
06:37Maybe it's because of your complexion.
06:38Right?
06:39Seriously.
06:40I didn't expect that from you.
06:41Really?
06:42Now, we're putting the garlic.
06:43Put all of it.
06:44You're still saving.
06:45I'm still saving.
06:47Then, onions.
06:48Onions.
06:49All of it.
06:50Does it matter to you if the onions are white or red?
06:53It doesn't matter.
06:54But I love red.
06:55It's sweeter.
06:56Seriously, let's go back to your childhood.
06:58I'm curious about that.
06:59What are your memories when you sold slippers?
07:02I sold slippers.
07:03Then?
07:04Even in college, I sold things that you can find in our bookstore.
07:09But I sold it cheaper.
07:10You were young.
07:11You were discarded.
07:12It's necessary.
07:13I feel like I'm more in the discarded part than in the bookmark.
07:18My dad thinks of the business.
07:20My mom handles it.
07:22We mix vegetables.
07:24Would you say you're good at handling money?
07:27Yes.
07:28I'm proud.
07:29I'm so proud of handling money because I didn't ask my parents.
07:33Really?
07:34That's great.
07:35Since how many years have you not asked your parents?
07:38After I graduated, I didn't ask my parents.
07:40What is the best financial advice that your mom gave you?
07:44If you're going to buy something, make sure you can afford that.
07:48If you're going to buy something, make sure you can afford that 10 times or 15 times.
07:53Yes.
07:54If not, you don't need it.
07:56Yes.
07:57But of course, you deserve to be happy sometimes.
08:00It's hard.
08:01Just make sure that you don't run out of money.
08:03It doesn't mean that you have a salary today.
08:06You'll spend it.
08:07You'll spend it right away.
08:08Next, we'll put the rice that's a little hard.
08:13You know, that's more delicious.
08:15Salt is the best when it comes to fried rice.
08:17That's true.
08:18Let's put this so that it can be cooked at the same time.
08:20How many eggs?
08:21Two.
08:22Two?
08:23Just two.
08:24Okay.
08:25Is there anything that you can consider as your biggest struggle in your life?
08:29My biggest struggle?
08:31Is that it?
08:32Witnessing that all of my classmates have it while we don't.
08:36Before, books were a luxury.
08:38And we didn't get everything that we wanted.
08:41I never took it against my parents.
08:44Maybe that's what I'm going to do with my parenting now.
08:47I'll show them my struggles.
08:50For me, it's subjective.
08:52I feel like my parents are wrong.
08:53They're doing everything by themselves.
08:54I still don't know where they got my tuition fee.
08:57Really?
08:58So they didn't feel that they're having a hard time.
09:01But as a child, I empathize a lot.
09:05Because of the things that we thought we wouldn't experience again.
09:10Because of what you saw in your classmates, you learned to dream.
09:17So that you can do better in life.
09:19Did you ever express how you compare yourself to your classmates?
09:23Did you ever express that to your parents?
09:26No.
09:28Because if I express it, they'll get hurt.
09:33People, please.
09:35I didn't get jealous.
09:37I didn't get what-ifs.
09:40What I instilled was,
09:43What can I do to be better?
09:45Instead of,
09:46I wanted that life.
09:47That's why it wasn't hard for you.
09:49No, ma'am.
09:50You didn't look for someone to blame.
09:52Your parents were lucky to have you.
09:54This is good.
09:55It smells good.
09:56I cooked the eggs.
09:59Because it's wet.
10:00Let's talk because the food is ready.
10:03Let's eat.
10:04Kapitbahay, let's cook our
10:07Ampalaya Soup and
10:10Tocino Fried Rice.
