Bicolano: A 6 Course Filipino Inspired Dinner
Bicolano: A 6 Course Filipino Inspired Dinner

This menu is inspired by some of my mom's recipes along with a trip I took to the Bicol Province in the Philippines. Bicol is located at the Southeast part of the nation’s capital. The Bicolano cuisine is primarily noted for the prominent use of chili peppers and coconut milk in the dishes. This meal will be reminiscent of some of the flavors and dishes that remind me of my mom's cooking and my time spent in Bicol.
