I think it's called Tahoe or maybe Tahoe or Tahoe, the old Tahoe, one of those will choose for the edition. What I love are these cute tapioca balls, they will be something like this. a Taiwanese milk tea, so instead of tea it's just a bunch of tofu, huh, oh that's delicious, obvious tofu flavor, but very sweet, tender and the ball, you must love some balls in your mmm, We will go to a restaurant that is serving tuna. in a way you've never seen, we're going to the Yellowfin restaurant. The upcoming Yellowfin restaurant has been around since 1992, starting as a humble, cared-for driver's area and evolving into a legendary seafood franchise with a name synonymous with quality.

We are known for our gobo moon. After thinking that it is the fish tail that is cooked adobo style before I get my hands on that tuna tail, Chef Gerry is introducing me to cara cara, an iconic Filipino dish that is usually made with oxtail, the yellowfin seafood cart that includes tuna, shrimp and squid, first. I don't want to brag, but I bought a tuna that weighed 45 kilograms, sometimes we have 200 kilograms. I think you're going to time it, I mean, nice, the main reason I've come here is to experience much of the seafood the city has to offer, especially the tuna.

The first thing I wanted to try is the Caracara. Do I say it right? cara cara and you will kill him again God, I have him cara cara cara cara, that's one of this city here on the elephant. At least we're using peanut sauce and cooking it before any big dancer of the year. It looks incredible. I can't wait to try it. Can you do something for me please, yes sir? Ahi Seafood Cara Cara starts by frying fresh cubed tuna and then stirring. -fry the squid, shrimp, onion and garlic, then the superstar, a heaping ball of peanut sauce joins the party while the chef assembles the container with bok choy, a few more plants and some banana core, adds the tuna and our other meats soaked in peanut sauce, someone I had to meet Papa Lohmann, which is fermented shrimp and I had no idea how it fit into the food, so can you show me how this is done?

Fetal rice first squid, huh, then some vegetables, then we should put this one in, really, yeah, eight one. time can you try it now oh I want to see yes I don't even have to eat this you're not doing my job for me yes I'm sure this is delicious wouldn't it be the sauce that's here this peanut sauce I'm going to try it first oh very good taste very soft, Brad, so intense. I'm going to mash some of my rice here, take some of the banana core, so I'm going to put squid here, the bubble at home, not you, have lunch, a little bit.

I've spent most of my life trying to find the perfect fight and this could be your big moment mmm delicious, Baba alone at home is a little powerful, but when you mix the right amount with other heavenly ingredients, we have fried tuna. OMG, that's a perfect bite. I think delicious. The tunas are very soft, very tender, abundant, rich, winners. I love the next one. I just have to try these more unusual cuts. Two dishes I didn't even know existed. starting with the grill, the debye, okay buddy, that's the meat, firm, couple of guys hanging out, we'll need some sperm, tuna sperm sacs marinate in a column over sea juice, paprika and soy sauce and then thrown on the grill to wilt.

Placing it on the flat surface, I can't wait to see how they finish preparing this while the sperm sacs roast to perfection. The chef begins with our other culinary enigma UBA UBA or tuna tendon tear in this bill burger, the kingdom of the food sample that one of the doctor's muscles, the tuna tendon is grilled, which helps to soften, then cut into small pieces and combined with a secret white sauce and tossed on a hot plate. Oh, I love that sound. That's my meditation music right there, with the hot plate still hot. the chef adds an egg mixing it into the whole mixture the tendon of the two na hoona I tried oh that's a great texture it will be chewy and bouncy.

Is there mayonnaise? A little mana. There is a secret recipe. Do not say it. Don't tell anyone, yes, let me have another bite mmm, tasty, salty and very creamy, yes, it is a unique taste sensation. The only thing that can top that is like you don't know tuna sperm. This seems like something unique. dish for me, is there any special result? Help me guys, you know, I don't know why we always come up with this one. Okay, I'm going to get a nice, healthy slice. The outside almost looks like a juicy and tender chicken breast when you eat it. the apparent hit, it's okay, I felt a lot of emotions, it's soft, little sticky, little moist there, the texture varies from chewy, too soft, a little spongy mmm, the flavors are good, it tastes a little like the ocean drinking, what it would be good?

Chef Gerry, thank you very much with my stomach about to burst. I have yet to try the elephant's signature dish, tuna tail adobo. The tuna tail adobo is simmered in soy sauce and vinegar and combined with other local ingredients before serving, fried until crispy and served in pieces. of banana while I'm at it, I also bought grilled tuna belly. What a day we have come full circle since we were at the market this morning and saw that they had the tuna belly and that's right in front of me here. and then one of their most sought after dishes, the adobo story, this is huge.

I'm going to start again here with the belly. I can't wait to dig into this, let's go for it, jeez, and that is an absolutely stunning greasy and rich look. In this it just comes off so easily like it wants you to eat it. I'm going to try it with a little sauce. I love moving forward. Here we have the greasy and juicy meeting of moto bone tail. Let's go for it. Similar flavors so good but totally different. The texture of this type here is much kinder to the skin there, it's a little more sticky and gelatinous.

I've never had tuna tail like this. I'm going to tear off this piece of skin from here that eats greasy fried skin from here. it's a texture sensation, so y'all, for me, this has been a lot of fun because I've eaten a lot of tula in my life, but I've tried a lot of different cuts that I've never had anywhere else in the world before. Here in Davao, where tuna is incredibly fresh, they have been cooking it for generations and developing the local cuisine. It's been really interesting to see how it all comes together and how it basically goes from a huge beast to being a delicious main dish for dinner right here.
