Bella Poarch tries Filipino food in NYC at Naks in the East Village while opening up about her debut album Picnic at the Cemetery. From crispy lumpia to a full-on Filipino breakfast (tocino, garlic fried rice and egg) and ube dessert, Bella breaks down why Filipino cuisine is her ultimate comfort food and how it connects to her memories, family, and creativity. In this episode of Takes Us Out, Bella talks about cooking sinigang for friends, growing up around farm life and animals, and the family tradition that inspired the title Picnic at the Cemetery. She also gets into her DIY journey as a producer for “YouTube University,” how recording real-life sounds on her phone helped inspire “Hideaway,” building characters and visuals for each song, and the push-and-pull in the studio that made “Stay Gone” come together.
