Bicolanos’ favorites are spicy foods. There Pinangat are the best. There’s something in that combination of fresh taro leaves, creamy coconut milk, a few grams of pork or crab meat or shrimp, and the assortment of flavorful spices that makes you crave for more of pinangat. Another is my all time favorite, the irresistible and delicious food, the Guinobatan Longganisa. This longganisa or pork sausage definitely packs a wallop when it comes to taste. It comes in regular and spicy flavors. Whenever we go there I always eat this on breakfast. For desserts, they have their very own spicy and cold sili ice cream, with spiciness levels ranging from 1 to 10.
