00:00From Boracay, let's go to the town of Tangalan in Aklan
00:05to harvest the next thing we'll cook, the Ubud of Nipa.
00:10The first thing we'll do is we'll harvest it first.
00:14We'll harvest it first, like this, deep, deep.
00:18And as long as we can get the whole tree of Nipa,
00:23so we can get the whole thing,
00:26it's called Ubud here.
00:31To harvest the Ubud of Nipa,
00:33you have to dig until you reach the end of the tree.
00:38Then you have to shake it to make the root stretch faster.
00:42To get the Ubud or the edible part of the tree of Nipa,
00:46you have to wash it first,
00:48and then you have to scrape it until the Ubud remains.
00:53Ma'am Kara, this is our Ubud that we got.
00:57You can now cook it.
00:58As we continue our Aklan Food Adventure,
01:01the vegetables we'll get from the ground,
01:03what will they taste like?
01:06There are many different types of palm trees
01:08that can be found in Southeast Asia,
01:10including here, of course, in the Philippines.
01:12There is a type of palm tree that is called Nipa Palm.
01:16Nipa, you know what Nipa is, right?
01:19Nipahat.
01:20So this is usually used for roofing houses.
01:24But did you know that the Nipa Palm
01:27has other uses, including food?
01:31I'm here with Ate Sol from the Tangalan Aklan.
01:36What they do with their Nipa Palm is,
01:41you eat the Ubud.
01:49In a hot pan,
01:50first, you put the second scoop of coconut milk.
01:53Then, you mix salt, pepper, onion,
01:56sugar, and the Nipa Palm.
02:01In a bowl,
02:02you mix the coconut milk and rice flour
02:05that will serve as a thickener.
02:07Then, you mix it in the pot
02:09and wait for it to boil until it thickens.
02:12Later.
02:16Here's our Nipa Palm.
02:19Ubud is also delicious.
02:27Mmm.
02:28It's delicious.
02:29There's still a bit of bitterness.
02:31The Ubud itself,
02:33but the sauce is delicious.
02:35It's like Ginataang Langka,
02:37but it has a bit of sweetness.
02:40So you don't know if it's a dish or a dessert.
02:44The sauce is flavorful.
02:46It's made from coconut milk.
02:47Then, it has a bit of sweetness.
02:49Then, when you eat the Ubud itself,
02:53there's a bit of bitterness.
02:56I've never tasted anything like this.
02:58It's unique.
03:00Mmm.
