SINCE IM BICOLANA I REALLY LIKE GUINATAAN,,,,,WE HAVE THE FAMOUS BICOL EXPRESS AND LAING....WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS,,,,

Yes. oragon man ini! am a Bicolana too. Speaking about foods, I just sent bicol express last week through my mom who came home for a vacation. But too bad that my fiance' wouldn't want to taste it even when he came..LOL. What I sent him was the TABLEA, that's his favorite from the time he tasted it..chocolate made of pure cacao...and it was homemade and not commercialized/processed..sarap with matching pandesal.. :wow:

:cry::cry::cry: I'm missing this food so bad... I'm not Bicolana (my sister is, since she's married to one) but I love Bicol express...

I'm from Quezon so I must say "budin", "nilupak", (they're both cassava cakes fixed in different ways) "suman malagkit" (rice cake).

Deym! I wish we have them here... :crying:

Paano ba magluto ng laing? I saw some dried gabi leaves sa filipino store and I asked them how to cook laing but they don't know how since they are not bicolano. I'm not bicolana but I really love bicol express. Baka pwede naman :)

Meron din ako bigas na malagkit dito...I'm planning to cook some suman tomorrow :)

Naku sis, i tried using the dried leaves pero it's not the same kahit na I followed the recipe that I found in the net. I guess it's not just about the food itself, but also the ambiance. Iba talaga pag sa Pinas, parang everything is yummy pero pagdating dito sa US iba ang lasa. I even tried Ginataang Kalabasa with Shrimp... it was a bit disappointing. Pero sabi nga nila "beggars can't be choosy" daw so I ate it kahit it's not the same.
