When you think of Bicolano food, the first thing that comes into your mind is the word “spicy, and coconut milk.” Not surprising. In fact, these are the trademark of Bicol foods and recipes. Every time someone is cooking any of the popular Bicolano dishes, expect that these would be spicy, with a touch of coconut milk. Bicol is best known for Bicol Express, Laing, Sinantolan (ground santol meat with gata and chilli), Kinunot (manta ray cooked in gata and malunggay leaves), and Tinuktok or Pinangat (ground shrimp or crab wrapped in gabi leaves and cooked in gata), all of which has gata (coconut milk) and sili (chilli) as ingredients. Or you may also try our "only-in-Bicol" all time favorite, hot log-log kinalas, a native noodle soup topped with pork bits, liver sauce and roasted garlic , with either fried banana fritters, or toasted siopao, a baked bread with pork and hard-boiled egg filling, on the side.

The Bon Appetit Diet version of Bicol Express, a Bicolano-style coconut-based stew made with meat (usually pork) and spiced with chilis, lots and lots of chilis!

My family originated from Iloilo and Bacolod. I grew up with my parents' and grandparents' original Ilonggo style cooking. Almost every meal, we have Sinamak (spiced vinegar) and Ginamos (shrimp paste) on the side. I absolutely love Ilonggo food! The best dishes in our town are La Paz Batchoy, Pancit Molo, Chicken Inasal (chicken barbeque), Laswa (a healthy vegetable dish), Arroz Valenciana, Kadyos, Baboy at Langka, Pinamalhan (dry paksiw) and Kansi (Ilonggo version of Bulalo). Just thinking about these dishes makes me say---Manamit!
