Bicolanos are famous for their Bicol Express a hot and spicy dish cooked in coconut milk, pork and with lots of birds eye chili that makes it very hot.

The original Bicol Express Recipe is a stew made from long chilies also known as birds eye chili (siling mahaba in Tagalog), 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 presented as one of the many variants of Bicol Express.

Ano po ang nagiging dahilan kung bakit nagiging makati ang gabi? Paano ito maiiwasan o paano ito malalaman. Pwede bang iluto ang di masyadong natuyong dahon, as in fresh pa? Ang paghalo ba nito habang niluluto ay makakasama?

Thank you.

hindi totoong kakati ang laing kung laging hinahalohabang niluluto ito, depende sa gabi kasi talaga lang may makating dahon ng gabi at meron ding hindi so better choose the right ne na lang when your out in the market
