Directors Erik Matti, Joey Reyes say Netflix’s ‘Street Food’ episode on Cebu borders on poverty porn

eb0f354b7c261db334bc7c776541997c


Veteran Filipino directors Erik Matti and Joey Reyes did not mince words when they recently criticized an episode of the new Netflix series Street Food that features delicacies from Cebu province.

In a Facebook post yesterday, Matti said the episode borders on poverty porn, a take Reyes agreed with in a comment.

The Netflix series dropped on the streaming platform on April 26 and features street food from cities like Cebu, Bangkok, Yogyakarta, and Singapore.
Many were ecstatic that the Philippines was included in the show, especially Cebuanos who are very proud of their culinary heritage. However, Matti was not pleased.

“The dishes except for lechon are food that are not really a staple of Filipinos. All the other Asian countries had their classic world-renowned street food while we had…bizarre,” he said in the Facebook post. “Bad research.”

“There are hundreds of original Filipino street food and they chose to show an esoteric eel dish and a goddamn Chinese fried vegetable lumpia! Whada₱@ck!”

How is the chicharon original -you go to Golden Mile and you see lots of Thai stalls selling deep fried pig skin that is exactly the same.
Lechon is Spanish roast pork which looks and taste like our roast pork in all our hawkers stall selling char siew.
When in Pinoyland I either eat Chinese food or fast food as Pinoy food are super salty that you find it hard to taste anything
Of course here they are all considered as "foreign talents" imported so that our old folks can carry cardboards for exercise

unfortunately, street food is like all David Gelb shows. High on the gloss, low on the authenticity. Distinctly American in taste.

Pinoy food is shit.
You can easily name offhand tomyam for thais or Pho for viet. Even Ayam Penyet for Indos for example but there’s nothing well known about Pinoy. Unless you count Jollibee haha

When it comes to food, Pinoys are the worst when it comes to cultural appropriation.

Chinese (Cantonese) sio bak (siu yuk) becomes lechon, Vietnamese hột vịt lộn becomes balut. :rolleyes:

Dr. Norman G. Owen said the proliferation of hoaxes and exaggeration of historical facts in an effort to build on Pinoy Pride, such as the false claim that a Filipino man named Agapito Flores was the inventor of the fluorescent lamp. Dr Owen said that such exaggerations give the world the impression that by resorting to such acts, Filipinos as a people actually do not have much to be proud of, which is in effect the backfiring of the 'Pinoy Pride' intention of Filipinos who engage in such acts. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinoy_pride

When Filipinos feel pride from the victories of people like Pacquiao or Pempengco just because they also happen to be Filipino, that’s hubristic pride. The pride felt by Pacquiao after winning a bout because he has trained months for it—that’s authentic pride. However, if they feel he won only because he was born Filipino hence is genetically gifted or divinely predestined to win, then that’s hubristic pride.

That Filipinos are better athletes than non-Filipinos; that non-Filipinos are not great athletes; that what made Pacquiao a great athlete is his being Filipino. The reason these assumptions remain unstated is clear: Saying it out loud is so obviously racist.

The categorisation itself is faulty-there is no such thing as a Singapore /Malaysian cuisine-its either Malay, Chinese, Indian or Eurasian !-as there is no such thing as a Singapore or Malaysian race. Ranking Vietnamese above Thai is a joke and Lao/Thai (Esan) food are the same.
But he got one thing correct-Pinoy food is the worst
