Laing Recipe (Taro Leaves with Coconut Milk)

Laing Recipe, also known as Ginataang Gabi is equally famous and tasty as the Bicol Express. The dish’s main ingredients are taro stem and leaf cooked in coconut milk and shrimp paste. It is also heavily spiced with red hot chilies. In other provinces especially in Northern and Central  Luzon, they add freshwater snails (susong pilipit) or Kuhol (escargot) as substitute.

Bopis Recipe

Bopis Bopis or Bopiz in Spanish is a hot and spicy Filipino dish with Spanish origin, it consists of pork lungs, heat and fat sautéed in chillies, onions and sometimes tomatoes. It was surprisingly tender, perhaps because the heart was diced into small pieces. Rice vinegar, soy sauce, tomato, white radish and pineapple juice make up the sauce. The dish is nicely balanced with acidic and savory notes. Not just a popular dish but also a very popular "pulutan" (analogous english term "finger food") and can be seen in menus of bars and restaurants offered usually as a beer match.
