00:00 And you know what's another win you can have this summer?
00:07 Of course, it's seafood!
00:10 And I'm sure on-screen mother-daughter tandem of Charmaine Santiago and Han Arguelles
00:19 with Lilit Machas, Atoy Meatloh,
00:22 will have the summer vibes of having a seafood mukbang here at Ocean Cravings in Quezon City.
00:28 You'll be full with the seafood dishes they offer here.
00:33 But, will you believe that they started with just two dishes?
00:38 First, I offered it to my close friends and neighbors.
00:43 Sadly, no one paid attention.
00:46 I didn't stop.
00:49 Then finally, after two weeks, Jano Gives ordered for me.
00:54 Then after him, I started getting followers on Instagram and Facebook.
01:01 So, my business ran for almost five years.
01:06 At that time, mukbang videos were very popular.
01:10 In the US, I thought of making Asian crab, lobster, and shrimp dishes.
01:20 I made crab, shrimp, mussels, and clams.
01:24 Every weekend, I would make seafood dishes for my family.
01:29 From Friday to Sunday, I would make seafood dishes.
01:32 My children are seafood lovers.
01:34 I think if you like what you're doing, you'll be able to deliver delicious and good dishes.
01:41 [Music]
01:51 Food explorers!
01:52 Let's go on a food trip!
01:54 [Music]
01:57 I've been calling this crab for a while now.
02:00 It's so big.
02:02 Here it is.
02:03 Promise me.
02:04 You can speak English.
02:06 You'll see.
02:07 Wait, I'll take it off.
02:08 Dip it here.
02:10 [Music]
02:14 The sauce is really spicy.
02:17 We Filipinos can't live without sauce.
02:21 When we were taping Lilette, Matias, and Orni and Lo,
02:26 we had a break time like this.
02:29 It's true.
02:30 We were so happy to be together.
02:31 The table was big.
02:32 Yes.
02:33 I'll eat the scallop.
02:34 [Music]
02:38 I don't know if there's any other food that does this.
02:40 This is the third one.
02:42 It's because it's cheesy.
02:43 It's so good.
02:44 And the taste of the scallop.
02:46 [Music]
02:53 You can smell it.
02:55 It's so good.
02:56 Absolutely.
02:57 The cheese is perfect.
02:58 It's delicious.
03:00 It's really hard work to open a crab.
03:05 But it's worth it.
03:06 I think that's the thrill.
03:07 While you're eating, you're like a crab.
03:10 I'm like a crab that's drooling while taking off the shell.
03:14 Then you take it and dip it.
03:17 There.
03:19 Since you haven't tried the steamed crab yet.
03:24 Oh, okay.
03:25 Let's go.
03:26 Oh, it's full.
03:29 It's still hot.
03:31 [Music]
03:36 Mmm.
03:37 I like it because it's so tender.
03:40 It's like it's melting in my mouth.
03:43 It's not fake.
03:44 It's not fake.
03:45 I know.
03:46 What I taught Hannah Arguelles is not to eat it.
03:51 Because it's hard to eat.
03:53 The side of the head is the best part.
03:56 The feet.
03:57 That's it.
04:00 This is it.
04:02 You can see how it's melting.
04:08 That's what you call delicious.
04:11 Mmm.
04:14 Delicious.
04:15 [Music]
04:22 It's so good to be near you.
04:25 Our strategy up to now is to deliver fresh stocks every day.
04:30 Like the crabs, it's live every day.
04:33 My crabs are from Bulacan.
04:35 I've been a supplier since I started up to now.
04:40 It's like a single-crab.
04:43 It's overwhelming to see that I don't have a client who lives here at the table.
04:53 It's overwhelming to see that.
05:00 I don't cook.
05:03 I don't know that with measurements,
05:05 when your heart is there when you cook,
05:07 I feel like it will control the taste of the food.
05:10 [Music]
05:16 After enjoying a seafood feast,
05:18 the stars of Lilit, Chas, Atorne, and Loa,
05:23 Senator Mayne Santiago, and Hanna Arguelles,
05:26 and their coffee shop of choice that they highly recommended to our fellow food explorers,
05:31 the All Filipino Cafe chain of Bat First Coffee.
05:37 We're here, excited.
05:39 The coffee is in front of us.
05:41 [Music]
05:45 Bat First Coffee is one of the businesses that was successful during the pandemic.
05:50 You will be amazed at its success,
05:53 especially when you find out how much money it was earned by its owner, Anna Magalona.
05:58 Mama Anna started with a budget of 6,000 only.
06:03 During the pandemic, we were doing our own business.
06:07 Mama Anna decided to start a coffee business.
06:13 Actually, it's been going on for a while.
06:15 We have almost 113 branches since 2020.
06:20 Inside, you can see that it's greater than coffee above anything else.
06:25 Before you do anything, you have to drink coffee.
06:28 It started in Vietnam.
06:30 That was Bat First's first drink.
06:33 As the company grows,
06:35 aside from being Vietnamese, we've extended our reach to other levels of coffee.
06:43 We have espresso whey, drip base, non-coffee, and matcha.
06:48 We support local beans because Bat First's plan is to go internationally
06:55 and introduce our beans to the world.
06:57 This is Filipino beans, locally made.
07:01 [Music]
07:03 Bat First uses dark roast arabica for its espresso.
07:09 I will try this.
07:12 This is called Spanish Latte.
07:16 Latte.
07:17 Because I have Spanish blood.
07:20 You can see the white part, and the coffee.
07:26 The Spanish is here, and the Filipino is here.
07:29 That's why it's called Halloween.
07:31 [Music]
07:36 Hi, how are you?
07:38 [Laughter]
07:40 She's speaking Spanish.
07:42 [Speaking Spanish]
07:50 The sweetness is just right.
07:52 They have options.
07:54 If it's too sweet, or if it's too sweet, it will cut off the sugar.
07:58 But it's delicious.
07:59 I'll try it.
08:00 Do I look like a Spanish woman?
08:02 You've been a Spanish woman for a long time.
08:04 I'll see if I look like a Vietnamese.
08:07 Vietnamese coffee.
08:09 I heard this is one of their bestsellers.
08:12 It's more powerful than Spanish coffee.
08:16 So, it's a bit...
08:18 I can tell that the coffee they have is more powerful.
08:23 It's perfect for my skin.
08:25 Vietnamese coffee is more powerful than Spanish coffee.
08:27 It looks like it.
08:29 It has a kick.
08:30 Yes, right?
08:31 This is perfect for me as a student who always studies.
08:35 Guys, law student.
08:37 Thank you, Lord.
08:39 If you want to learn about the laws, ask Hannah Arguelles.
08:46 And watch the clip of Matisse and Lord Laglo.
08:50 Guys, same thing.
08:52 Of course, to incorporate the taste of strawberries in matcha.
08:57 Imagine matcha and strawberry.
09:00 It's a weird combination.
09:02 How is it?
09:05 It's delicious.
09:07 It's sweet.
09:08 The sweetness is right.
09:09 And the bits of strawberries and...
09:13 You can feel it.
09:15 Joe Berry, this is for you!
09:17 This is for you, Kapuso.
09:19 You can see it.
09:20 Milky.
09:21 What?
09:22 And butterscotch.
09:23 It's called ice milky butterscotch.
09:26 Butterscotch, not butterscotch.
09:28 I really like this because it's very sweet.
09:34 For anyone with a sweet tooth, this is perfect for them.
09:38 If you want a treat but you don't want to eat it, this is perfect for you.
09:44 Our matcha is ice milky.
09:47 Our mantra is, "Good coffee doesn't have to be expensive."
09:51 What we're saying is, it's cheap and it's of good quality.
09:55 It's worth the money.
