Recipe: Bicol Express
April 13, 2016
A lot of people I know are fond of spicy food and I’m one of them. I remember when I was still a little girl, we had a house helper who cooked really good food. She came from Bicol and one of her specialties is the Bicol Express. Now, that I’m grown up already. I have learned to cook my own version of Bicol Express. Thanks to the internet for having the recipe available online.
Bicol Express is basically a stew made of pork, onions, garlic, coconut milk, shrimp paste and chili peppers. I love this!
