00:00The adobo is boiling, so I mixed it with some salt and sugar to balance the taste.

00:10There, it's cooked.

00:12The grilled adobo is also cooked, so what are you waiting for?

00:16Of course, we're going to taste it.

00:20This dish is different from the regular adobo.

00:23It's long, smooth, and it looks like a ball.

00:27What is that?

00:28Adobong bulate?

00:30It looks scary.

00:32It's color is like a ball, and people have a natural aversion to eating balls.

00:38But did you know that even a ball can be eaten?

00:41It depends on the preparation.

00:43In the making of this unique dish, the video gained more than 21 million views.

00:49But what is this?

00:50And what does it taste like if we eat it?

01:01The surprising ingredient that you see is called puyoy.

01:05In the Bisayas, puyoy is used as a food in the panginista.

01:09It's also a type of eel called lesser thrush eel.

01:13Compared to sea eel, it's thinner and bigger.

01:16Welcome to the Bisayas, I'm Kim!

01:19Welcome to the Bisayas, I'm Kim!

01:25Here in Matan, Aklan, we met my friend Kim Zaraga,

01:30who cooked puyoy in her vlog.

01:34Kim started vlogging in 2022, depending on what she was preparing.

01:39And puyoy is one of them.

01:41I learned about puyoy because I used to vlog satay,

01:45and my family in Manila,

01:48since I'm not familiar with exotic food here,

01:52they told me that I should also try vlogging puyoy.

01:56When they told me that, I asked my acquaintances and cousins.

02:02I was the first one to cook puyoy when I vlogged it.

02:07And she also thought that puyoy was just a flower.

02:11It was the first time I saw it.

02:13I was a bit surprised because it looks like a flower.

02:18It's thin, and the color is also reddish.

02:22Many people mistake puyoy for a flower because of its appearance.

02:26What makes it different from a flower is that it has eyes, mouth, and tail,

02:30just like a fish that has a flat body.

02:34There are more than 800 species of puyoy in the world,

02:36and some of them can live up to a decade.

02:40European eels can live up to 50 years.

02:45While other eels can bury themselves in the sand or mud,

02:49where they can only see their heads.

02:53One of the behavior of eels is that they usually burrow in the mudflats.

02:57If they burrow, it's like they're looking for a nest, and they go in there.

03:03Eels have different sizes depending on the species.

03:06They can go down more than 13 feet or the length of a standard surfboard.

03:11You know a lot, Kim.

03:13You know a lot, Kim.

03:15But aside from being food, puyoy is also eaten.

03:19That's why in Kim's vlog, he tried to cook it himself.

03:23What does it taste like?

03:25The lesser thrush eel, or puyoy, is found in salty and white environments.

03:31Puyoy is a small eel.

03:33Usually, eels are harvested in the mudflats.

03:40They are harvested, you'd think they're big bubbles.

03:44That's what they look like.

03:46But they're slimy.

03:48They have a lot of slime on their bodies.

03:50That would protect them from the harsh environment they live in.

03:54It's reddish, but you can see the difference in the bubbles.

03:58But aside from being food, puyoy is also eaten.

04:03That's why in Kim's vlog, he tried to cook it himself.

04:06What does it taste like?

04:08I'll just mix this and sauté it well.

04:10Then, I'll add vinegar and soy sauce.

04:14I also added pepper.

04:16Then, I followed it with a bottle of water to cook it well.

04:20My adobo is also boiling.

04:22So, I put it back and mixed it well.

04:26Puyoy tastes good.

04:28I thought of vlogging puyoy

04:30because aside from its unique appearance,

04:33I know that the people who see it are also amazed.

04:37Of course, I can also promote our place

04:39because this is where I got it.

04:41To taste and judge, Kim will cook again.

04:45Before cooking, Kim washed the puyoy.

04:48He soaked it in seawater.

04:50Then, he sifted it with salt and vinegar.

04:53Then, he washed it with water.

04:55I washed it with salt to remove its slime.

04:59Also, to reduce the slime.

05:04Because I can't cook this

05:06if the slime is still there like before.

05:09Onion and garlic.

05:11We'll just sauté it well until it turns golden brown.

05:14Then, we'll add bay leaves and pepper.

05:17We'll just sauté it partially

05:19and we'll add our puyoy.

05:23And now, this is what I'm doing

05:25so that I can skewer the puyoy

05:27so that I can grill it.

05:29I didn't season the puyoy

05:31because I'm going to add pampahit here.

05:37What do you call this, ma'am?

05:39Spaghetti.

05:40Spell spaghetti.

05:42Spell spaghetti.

05:43A-S-P-A-G-U-I-T-I-A-S-P-A-G-I-T-I-A.

05:52U-I-C-K.

05:54Spaghetti.

05:56Mami, this is for you.

05:59Did you know that there's a type of eel

06:02called spaghetti eel?

06:04It's found in shallow tropical waters

06:06in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Ocean.

06:09This skinny eel can grow 5 inches up to 55 inches.

06:13This is for you.

06:14Happy New Year.

06:15Happy New Year.

06:17You know a lot, Kim.

06:19You know a lot, Kim.

06:21And we're grilling this

06:23just like we're grilling an eel.

06:25Let's go back to Tukayong Kim.

06:27After a few minutes,

06:29he's ready to eat his Inadobong Puyoy.

06:32He's already grilled a few.

06:35And now, it's tasting time.

06:55if you're going to try something new,

06:57it's better to have enough knowledge.
