We Tried CRAZY Filipino Christmas Ube Desserts! (Best Rice Cakes EVER)

[Music] we head for the sky it's all right our wings wouldn't fly it's all right if we are crashing down again [Music] tell me okay we just got back from the gym had a shower put less jimmy clothes on who's jimmy you ask that was a really bad joke sorry and and it feels like there's loads going on today like we've been up and down the list in our apartment like six times this morning doing deliveries uh people coming to collect things we're sending something and it feels like it's been a pretty busy morning so far but we've had a coffee and we're gonna have some breakfast in a second time really does go by so quickly in the gym it turns out we were there for two hours today which normally when we do workouts at home we're doing it for like one hour roughly um and that's like with a little bit of breaking between sets and things but today yeah we were there for two hours so we did like a full back workout with all the weights and then we did some sprints some like high intensity interval training so some incline sprints on the treadmill we did some of the assault core stuff we did some ab workout uh yeah the main bulk of it was the um just using all the weights and stuff and it just feels like my form is so much better than i mean you saw us here we were doing chess press before we were doing it on the sofa and we were trying to line up the stools so that we could lift weights from home without a bench so it feels like we just feel strong we feel great even after just a few days back in the gym however however one of the things that got delivered today isn't exactly the healthiest but but we are very excited to be trying out some more filipino christmas desserts a bit later on and we figured we'd do it as more of like a sit down with us q a mukbang type thing this time um i know last time we did more of a taste test uh so we'll be doing that as well this time but we might just answer some questions um in between that as well quick weather check today i must say it's a beautiful day today it's very warm it's like 34 degrees or something i thought it was getting cooler oh yeah i'm getting slightly confused by the seasons i thought this is what i thought i really thought that the wet season here was may to october but now everyone's saying we're coming into wet season now so i'm really confused so can someone comment below the seasons and the split and the months for like wet and dry or like when it's super hot when it's a bit cooler because i'm very very confused by it all but yeah quick weather check because it's so nice the blue skies are like that solid contrasty bright blue that which i love there's a few scattered clouds there's a few clouds but they look a bit like cartoon clouds because they're like so fluffy we've got a nice view of the mountains over here today nice and clear it's just a beautiful day and my rubber tree is having a new leaf right now has produced a new leaf which i'm extremely excited about because i thought this one was kind of dying so no it's got a new leaf coming through here i've also got and this is a brand new leaf and this is a new one coming soon i think uh here i don't know if that's a new leaf or if that's something i don't know what that is i don't think it's a leave i think that's just i can't remember what you call it but like the other part of the stem but i'm not sure and finally my monstera is giving a new leaf too which means this will then be five leaf plant and i cannot wait [Music] wow i hope you enjoyed george's shower singing there what is going on in there [Music] okay i've actually put some shorts on because wearing a skirt this sofa this angle that wouldn't be good so i'm gonna quickly open this george is getting ready today we've been sent this which is an ube platter filled with some of the some more rice cakes some more christmas delicacies uh from cannon club on instagram or flash set page up right now wow this looks absolutely incredible i'm gonna open it up and bring it closer to you guys so you can see but honestly wow wow so it's coming it's like cool uh what's it made of i think it says panna pagas gathering of leaves weaving of leaves wow this is a long process to make one of these i'm so sorry about the pronunciation but let me show you this how amazing does that look so obviously we've got all the bright purple colors and there's a ton of different things here i'm already recognizing some stuff from before and we've definitely got some new stuff in here all right we have put on some copyright free music in the background is that too loud i hope it's okay maybe a little bit too loud i think the strategy for this i think we should work outwards in because like the stars of the show are right in the middle of this i disagree i'm going straight into the center really yeah they look this one looks too good not to that does look insane doesn't it should we just go so we've got so we've got a couple of sauces here i don't know what they are oh that looks like looks like a mint sauce maybe and that's some sort of shavings or something i guess that's coke i don't know what that could be coconut maybe um so i think we had a couple of these before these ones are new to us i think especially with the um can you stop talking can we just eat please so rude and this one's new and i think there's something in these little yeah there's something in the leaves as well all right let's get a little closer loads to get into today we're going to try this one straight away oh but it's great because it's so sticky it sticks to what you're trying to pull it away from so it's actually quite easy pull apart ready go on um it's good i think we've started with the best yeah are you serious this is like a beautiful brown sugary caramelized thing with the ube flavor underneath delicious mmm all right i'm gonna go straight in with some of this as well then if you say it's that good why don't we kick off with a question um oh no oh no i'm ruining everything okay it all sticks to itself oh my goodness this is the guards can you just chill out i'm not doing it on purpose that is like the tiniest bit in the world gonna we've got a lot to try this these are so good man so we did actually ask some questions on the community tab on youtube and on your instagram i think yeah so i'm just gonna fire one at you now okay okay i'm gonna eat this while i'm thinking of the answer if you had to be stuck on an island here in the philippines outside of manila during covid and had to eat only one pinoy dish every day what where and why that's like the best question wow what the food or the question these are great by the way really these little i don't know what they're called these ones i'm trying one of these now one of these it doesn't actually look like food at this point because it's such a bright purple color hmm it's like a donut really i've got a rice doughnut go for one of these as well then go and answer the question then there's also the idea you're meant to finish that and then answer not that's not i like them very simple they're quite plain but really delicious that's really good really filling okay i'm gonna go for an island an island an island there's so many choices obviously like seven thousand there are a lot of choices and also we've seen what it was like for other vloggers being on certain islands so i'm gonna try and not choose one of those there's vloggers in el nido there's vloggers in charge which probably would be one of my top choices actually but i'm gonna say maybe i'll say kamigan really yeah and just go the wi-fi signal no but that's what i mean and just go totally off the grid for like a month and the filipino dish i would eat this probably probably adobo probably adobo because i could still work out every day chicken and rice i could still be healthy maybe i'd like some vegetables broccoli in there yeah exactly for me i'd say oh i'm trying to think of all the islands that i picked i mean imagine calabrese island that would be ultimately but there's nothing there's nothing to do there yeah um i don't know maybe like i thought that triagal would be cool but like you said quite a few people are surrounded there at the moment um dish for me would definitely be sinigang i think because you get the vegetables you get the meat you can maybe add a few potatoes in there sometimes and i don't think i could ever get bored of it okay i'm gonna go for this is this the binca we got it wrong this is saffron saffron yeah [Music] stream our christmas song right now on spotify okay i'm going to take a little bit of this then because i think this is one of my favorites in the last one but we had so many comments because we called it the wrong thing so apologies oh sorry everyone i'm just changing the track because that was a bit bassy and it felt like it was just going to be so noisy over everything that is delicious that's straight away gone to my top favorite really i love that i think the layers do you know the layers i'm guessing one's coconut one's ube but i'm not sure what the yellow is oh it's so good it's so sticky look at that do you have another question you don't even need to bite it it's so soft you can just use your lips to put it apart mmm what a weird texture i love it just some out the box questions yeah loving out the box love and out the box question since we've been in quarantine for this long and only the two of you have been in your apartment and only the two of you in your apartment that spends time together i wonder oh my god i'm sorry i didn't even read that let's just move on see how was the feeling in the to be in the gym after such a long time of doing homework out what the changes of the gym policies during the pandemic does it feel weird or different great question we're gonna go for one of these whilst we answer that one and i've had these before these are really really delicious i can eat probably like ten of these before i get full remember we had them with rory in the tree house in sabu shout out to rory we miss you i'm still working on this one so so delicious you get the ube flavor as well on this one okay it's been really good going back to the gym there's a vlog on the channel showing you guys our new gym we're now members at fitness army in bgc i think we actually vlogged that in the start of this vlog oh yeah we did so you saw us in the gym this morning which is good it's good because as we're eating all these delicious desserts it's good that we got a workout in this morning because otherwise it could be bad news so i'm not sure what this one is do you know what this is is this the blinker maybe oh maybe let's try yeah this is the this is babinko i think good being back in the gym has been awesome we were fairly self-disciplined with the home workout some of you guys might have seen but it's not quite the same we're limited with equipment limited with what we can do we were doing our best i need to open this on camera okay but honestly it's been great being back in the gym and all the safety precautions are there as well watch this in the screen oh gooey okay i think this is the babinka because it's way more creamy oh what is that smell i know that so well yeah that is very familiar okay i think this is gonna be a good combo if i just dip some of this straight in there oh my god that looks great is it good okay i'm gonna do that with one of these little that sauce is amazing what is it whoa okay it's so familiar sauce this tastes like chocolate or something it's so delicious kind of tastes like fudge yeah a little bit of that wow you've made your own dessert yeah i've done if this is the thing but i've like made my own version of something here wow i'm gonna open up one of these leaves now oh once we have oh [Applause] [Laughter] do what i just did okay i'm gonna do it this then could you get a crunch oh nice i can't wait look at this there's like a bit of like custard inside it and ube inside this nice all right should we both go for one i really like the ones in the leaves because of how simple it is it's just like plain rice in a sense but there's a nice filling so i'm going to do enjoy this little sauce and dip trick but please do with the cakey ball as well but that's going to be good mmm the crunch you're right yeah how nice got a question here george when are you going to cut your hair guys i do not know i'm just leaving it at the moment i'm gonna see how long it can get before i get too annoyed too frustrated with it then we'll get a haircut don't worry but i think i'm gonna leave it for a little bit longer what are your long-term goals wow that's such a deep question that is deep i think we have i think we have big long-term goals and then like wait surely all long-term goals should be big because they're long-term long-term long-term and short term because short term we want to stay doing something we love at the moment that is vlogging that is making these videos right told you we want to stay as happy as possible we want to stay as healthy as possible and have good relationships have great friends meet amazing people that kind of thing we're simple people aren't we yeah basically yeah so that's kind of like short-term things that we want to carry on doing i think that's quite a long time long term we would love to have a house here in the philippines we spoke about building our house potentially um there was another question would you like to retire in the philippines and i think yeah why not i think that would be really cool i'd still like to move around and travel when we get older but let's see that's a long way off anyway this is a good one happy weekend lucy and george well loosely enjoyed it it's always george and lucy it's never lucy and george that's quite nice i want to ask how you guys maintain a strong relationship and when you fight how do you reconcile ps4 do you have a p.o box i want to send lucy some tahini from israel wow that sounds amazing working on a po box actually so stay tuned for that so yeah about relationships that's a tricky question because i don't really i don't really think about it like very much i guess the main thing i think that we're good at is like communicating and honesty i think we we consider ourselves a little bit of a team because of what we do because we vlog together we spend so much time together and we obviously when we left the uk we only had each other so that's kind of stuck that made us stronger that made us closer and it's kind of carried on of course we fight we've said this in videos so many times every couple i think fights and argues but for us they're usually about silly things it's usually something small that we're arguing about that doesn't even matter yeah um it's just in the moment and when you're together so much you will you will collide at some point yeah you bicker and you move on from stuff we try not to sleep on arguments that's like one rule we always try and do um and i think like i say with communication if we're we're totally honest with each other all of the time and we say how it is and we're so brutally honest a lot of the time it actually means that there's less arguments because we know exactly how each other feeling yeah maybe maybe it makes more smaller arguments but over long-term happiness we're on each other's wavelength more i think yeah and we like we both like to enjoy life i think that's a key as well we both we're both positive people we're both optimistic people i think that complements i think we complement each other in that way i know we always wake up with a goal for the day a mission for the day we've got an idea of what we want to do what we want to film what we want to create we're both creative in different ways and some of the same ways crossing over as well and we make each other laugh i think that is a huge thing like you see it in the vlogs quite often but off camera as well a lot lucy is constantly laughing at my jokes i thought you would say lucy's constantly making me laugh you are you are constantly making me laugh which is i think i think that's nice i think that's fun this is a huge platter right not designed for two people really this would like feed a family okay are actually like four people when do we stop um because well it's for you to leave food i have to say i'm quite happy continuing i could sit here and eat these all day like a christmas cracker a huge thanks to this company who sent us this by the way did you mention the name of the canon club you guys can order your own one of these if you want to we'll leave their instagram in the description or the pinned comment of this video you can check them out someone ordered one of these and was watching our vlog while eating it george every video this is a nice one if you had to choose the vlog of yours to show again to represent that the both of you and your journey which would it be like what's a standout vlog i have one in mind and it's all i don't even think about go on when we were in sagada on that road trip because it's it's like a 26 minute vlog so it's quite long we're joking around in the car a lot and we had um we were joking around in the car like the whole journey it was such an amazing drive there's some cool drone chat it shows an adventure it shows eating some cool food some great coffee meeting some friendly people and i feel like it's a journey in itself this is very deep the actual drive and really the vlog is actually only us driving from one place to the other but it felt like such a story and it felt like it represents us so well i think definitely it's hard we have nearly i think 900 videos on the channel yeah you're like nearly a thousand oh really oh my god or maybe i'm wrong there's so many videos on the channel so it'd be hard to choose one to represent us obviously we've got vlogs from back in the uk years ago like we've been vlogging a long time four or five years maybe we've got vlogs from other countries when we first went traveling we were daily vlogging then our very first vlog ever is still on the channel 973 videos wow thousand videos that's crazy okay guys we are gonna sit here and try and eat a little bit more of this can't stop but we should stop at some point so let me guys heat it up maybe thanks if you asked a question hope you enjoyed this christmas filipino platter we did we certainly enjoyed it i hope you enjoyed watching it um let us know if there's anything else that we should try around christmas time in the philippines we do love christmas time here and we are very very keen to try as much as we can to to involve ourselves with filipino christmas traditions i guess and some maybe some savoury food yeah let us know what else is out there so comment below give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it we will see you in the next daily juice if you're new to channel please hit subscribe button we're going to finish off as much of this probably all of it as much as we can that's not the only thing that might be possibly best and we'll see you next time guys thanks for watching bye [Music] this moment
