Bicol is known for its spicy and gata/coconut milk dishes. One of the best gata based dishes they offer is Bicol Express. My recipe has lots of chili in it so prepare to have a burned tongue afterwards! (P.S you can always put more or less chili depending on how spicy you like your dish to be) Try this one at home!
