00:00Here in Quiapo, there's a Nilupak Overload store that has Bukayo and Condensed Milk for only 20 pesos.
00:08Our favorite snack is...
00:12Trending!
00:15Mmm, it's so good!
00:17Nilupak may seem ordinary at first glance, but don't be fooled because these are leveled up in flavors and toppings.
00:25It's delicious, soft, and flavorful, especially the margarine on top.
00:28It's like it's more delicious. It's like it has yema.
00:32Kakanin from the province?
00:35This is the main character of Metro Manila streets.
00:40Presenting, Nilupak Overload!
00:47This is one of the Nilupak Overload items that you can find in Quiapo.
00:52It's served with Nilupak Ube Flavored, Bukayo, Margarine, and Condensed Milk.
01:00The head of this Nilupak is Noel, who will continue the recipe of his family.
01:07It started with my grandfather, then my father, and my mother. I inherited it from them.
01:16Noel was just a kid, but he was already blessed by his parents in selling.
01:21They sell Nilupak, Nisan, and corn.
01:26I've been selling corn for a long time.
01:30I was able to catch up with the price of corn.
01:35He sells Nilupak at a high price.
01:38That's why his price is 2,500 pesos.
01:42How much does he earn here?
01:44I can sell Nilupak for P300 or P420.
01:50If it's P200, I can sell it for P1,500.
01:54In just a few days, he earns enough to support his six children.
02:01His eldest is already in school, while the other three are already going to school.
02:08This is the most important thing he has saved.
02:10This is what I teach my children so that they can finish their studies.
02:16The good news is that Noel will share with us their family recipe of Nilupak Overload.
02:24First, peel the wood ear mushroom and white ube.
02:29Boil them until they are soft.
02:34Using the traditional mortar, peel the wood ear mushroom.
02:39Add white sugar.
02:43It needs to be finely chopped, so take your time in chopping.
02:51Next, chop the ube flavored Nilupak.
02:56Add food color to make it purple.
02:58After more than two hours of process,
03:03It's not done yet!
03:06Noel and Marilyn will now crush the Nilupak for sale.
03:12Wow, it's really a labor of love.
03:28But wait, there's more!
03:31The Nilupak-filling wood ear mushroom is also homemade.
03:37First, chop the ube.
03:44Put it in a hot pan.
03:47Add red sugar.
03:50Mix it.
03:52And wait for it to boil until the ube's juice is gone.
03:59And in less than 10 minutes, the Nilupak-filling wood ear mushroom is ready to be paired.
04:05But that's not all!
04:07Noel made the Nilupak more delicious with margarine and milk.
04:12Made with love, sweetness overload!
04:16After a few hours of preparation, it's time to sell it.
04:22But did you know, Kapuso?
04:23Noel walks for 2 to 3 hours from Tondo to Quiapo
04:30to sell the 300 pieces of famous Nilupak.
04:39One Nilupak costs P20.
04:41P50 for three Nilupak.
04:44Because on Fridays and Sundays, there are a lot of people.
04:48The Nilupak, even though it's ordinary,
04:51it's an extraordinary change that Noel brought.
04:56What's important to me is the Nilupak.
04:59That's where I come from.
05:03It's where my family lives.
05:09No matter how big or small the business is,
05:12no matter how big or small the business is,
05:15just like rice,
05:17as long as it's prepared with a twist,
05:19and put a lot of effort,
05:21and, of course,
05:23there's always a blessing.
05:42The Nilupak.
