Bicol express, the Philippines

Bicol Express, or sinilihan, is a creamy coconut milk-based entrée comprised of pork, long chillies, shrimp paste or stockfish, onion and garlic. The dish derives its name from a passenger train from Manila to the Bicol region, famous for its spicy cuisine. The meal is quintessential Filipino comfort food, providing eaters with a full stomach and a healthy dose of heat. If you’re craving spice in the Philippines — in Bicol, Manila or beyond — Bicol Express is your go-to.
