That is conveniently when the heritage you want to exploit or celebrate is just stuff that was sensationalized, embellished with a backstory to give it character and a dash of exotica. While Ube can pass as a Filipino thing. It is cringy to hear them call these Donuts as Filipino donuts. Ube Jam is actually expensive to make and so they are not common. Plus they may be labor intensive. Most Filipino know Ube as a classic Ice Cream flavor, which is cheaper than the Jam.

We also highlight Filipino cuisine on our 1 month old channel! Here is our mom's recipe for Ube Halaya: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqSGj5mlY9vTibQ.html 😊

I dont know but filipino food is so simple 😅 unlike any other asian cuisine. Im pinoy by the way

I like seeing people talk about things they are passionate about. So inspiring!

What a lovely episode, delightful. Also the way the female chef talked with her parents was so heartwarming, they just popped in and didn't seem very comfortable talking English on camera but the chef defused the situation and made everything go smooth as butter and with dignity. Oh man do I lack those skills!

The way that she gave the interview was really engaging! Also I really hope her business becomes super successful, so it can expand nationally, perhaps even internationally. I wish her and her partner nothing but the best for their business and their lives!

Amazing! They deserve a medal for professionalism, perfection, creativity and wasting nothing! This really warms my heart. More kitchens should have this much passion and dedication.

I love watching creativity becomes reality. All the best, Kora!

This video suuuuucks so much for me cus I looooooove donuts so much and I will never get my hands or should I say mouth on any one of these masterpieces. They all look so delicious. The world is so beautiful regardless what part the sun shines it.

Never eaten Filipino style flan or ube but they make everything look super appetising. And I always love food that is made with so much thought and love.

Filipino style flan has a more eggy flavor and a bit more dense texture compared to regular flan. It is super delicious.

@@potatooolatke That one probably used the white part of the egg too. Flan is not supposed to taste eggy if its made with only the yolks.

This is awesome! Congrats to the owners for introducing one of the best Filipino traditions to the American food culture! Mabuhay!

Literally my nth time rewatching this. Still the same awe and admiration as the first time seeing them work and their product.

you can see the passion she has for the recipe and food and employees, that's why that business is going to be massive, and obviously the extremely perfect looking desserts she's made. They look farking incredible..

im so impressed and empowered to see filipino cuisine being passed down in such modern ways. but you guys really need to expand your team!

Love the resourcefulness of using the byproducts such as the flan trimmings into filling!

I’m here for the co-founder. I love her smile, her narrating skills, her spirit. She’s wonderful. Her parents raised a wonderful human🙏🏾

It's nice to eat delicious food but when there's a good rich story behind it, that really makes me want to eat it more. Especially when you see that the owners themselves are also working hard in the kitchen.

Chefs put so much of their soul in their craft, wishing you further success with Kora’s donuts, hope I can try them in Toronto one day🥰

The crazy thing about these donuts is that they’re just as beautiful in person as they are in photos and they actually taste as good as they look. I hope they open a permanent storefront soon, hopefully near Gantry Plaza!

You can just sense the love and the passion they have for what they do. Just pure sincerity in their daily hustle! In other words it smells success all over! 😍

These are SOOO good!. I had the opportunity to try them on my trip to NYC last week. You have to order Monday at 3pm as soon as they open ordering. They sell out VERY quick.

Lovely. Much continued success to this brilliant chef and her wonderful family.

I love the fact that the flan and sweet potato don't go to waste after the discs are punched out. I would eat that blended flan cream by the spoon! I do wish the donuts were baked or that they would also do baked versions considering how rich and unctuous the fillings are.

@@Mistiny1791 yeah but it's technically cake based, there's a difference in the batter which still makes it different from normal donuts Edit: LMAO I JUST REALIZED A WAY BIGGER DIFFERENCE, yes they are different in batter, but the big thing is: donuts are from 'dough', not to mention cake batter comes out spongier than a donut (at this point a bagel's batter). The form of cooking also makes a difference e.g. frying vs baking
