(Redirected from Bicol Express)
Bicol Express is a popular Filipino dish from the Bicol Region in the Philippines. It is named after the passenger train service from Manila to the Bicol Region, a region well known for its spicy cuisine. Bicol Express is a spicy, creamy stew made primarily of pork, coconut milk, shrimp paste, and chili peppers.
History[edit | edit source]
The dish was popularized in Malate, Manila at a restaurant run by Cely Kalaw during the 1970s. Despite its origins in Manila, the dish is associated with the Bicol Region, where similar dishes made with coconut milk and chili peppers are common.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
The main ingredients of Bicol Express are pork, coconut milk, shrimp paste, and chili peppers. The pork is first sautéed with garlic and onions. Then, the shrimp paste is added and cooked with the pork. Coconut milk is then added, along with the chili peppers. The dish is simmered until the pork is tender and the flavors are well blended. The dish is known for its creamy, spicy flavor.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of Bicol Express. Some versions use other types of meat, such as chicken or beef, instead of pork. Others add additional vegetables, such as string beans or okra. The level of spiciness can also be adjusted according to personal preference.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
Bicol Express is a symbol of Bicolano culture and cuisine, known for its use of chili peppers and coconut milk. It is a common dish served in households and restaurants throughout the Philippines, and is also popular among Filipinos abroad.
