Bicol Express
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bicol Express is the name given to a popular dish which originated in the Bicol Region of the Philippines. It is a stew made from long chilies (siling labuyo, lada panjang in Malay/Indonesian), coconut milk, shrimp paste or stockfish, onion, pork, and garlic. It is said to have evolved from gulay na may lada, another Bicolano dish which is nowadays also presented as one of the many variants of Bicol Express.
