Be enticed by Spicy Bicol Express

Bicol Express is a popular Filipino food of Bicol origin that have spread worldwide. Its two main distinctive tastes are spiciness and saltiness.

However, Bicol Express may vary depending upon the personal level of tolerance. Sugar may be added as a contrast to salt and spicy flavors, or perhaps, shrimp paste can be washed to reduce amount of salty taste.

The food can also be used as a condiment to other dishes that would make a truly wonderful ride, especially with hot steamed rice on your plates. Its like having a real express touring in your mouth. Serve it hot!
