Cordillera - Australian chef Chris Urbano tries cooking the famous Igorot
dish called 'Pinikpikan' in one of his cooking shows on Youtube.
Urbano said, his culinary students challenged him to show them his version
of the Cordilleran dish Pinikpikan.
He described pinikpikan as a famous dish in the Philippines because it comes
from the Cordilleran region and it derives from the word "pik pik" to hit or
to beat.
"It is interesting and perhaps controversial dish dito sa Pilipinas because
that hitting of the chicken takes place while the chicken is still alive in
traditional Igorot cooking," Urbano said.
He later explained that he respects the Igorot tradition and he believes
that this is important to the people of the Philippines about this way of
cooking and what that means to them and their family.
"I'm totally respectful of the Igorot tradition,'' he said. But in his
cooking episode, he asked his students that he will not be beating the
chicken during the course of his show for obvious reason.
Chris Urbano is an Australian living in Manila who loves the people,
culture, and food of the Philippines.
He learned to speak Tagalog so he was called the Tagalong speaking
'foreignoy. He started his cooking show on YouTube back in 2013 called
Maputing Cooking which he shares his passion in cooking.
"Maputing Cooking" simply means a white guy who cooks Filipino dishes on
YouTube.
