One of the specialty dishes of Bicolanos here in the philippines, when people say bicolano dishes, the first thing that comes to my mind is chili peppers, or it's dishes are very smokin hot in flavor, but really delicious. like this one, LOL, but my bicol express? i change it a little bit, i only use small amount of chilis because people here in our house dont like it very hot. hope you will enjoy my bicol express!! :)
