Philipino cuisine

Just now, watched the channel 8 travel program, the episode was about Philippine and the food. This dish is called Bicol Express. Sounds interesting. This is how it is cooked.

1. Fry the pork inside pan without oil
2. Put in the mashed garlic, ginger and black pepper to fry together
3. After that, pour the coconut milk
4. Next is to put the fresh small shrimp
5. Throw the cut red and green chili inside for the last step

Without eating it, I already know it should be very good. The pork is with a bit of fat, so the lard taste would come out. Together with garlic, ginger, black pepper, coconut milk and shrimp. Each of the ingredient would add some its own unique flavour to the dish. The final taste should be quite heavenly.

The dish would look like this:



In Philippine cooking, they like to use pork. Lots of pork. There is a Filipino cuisine stall at Tampines Mall food court. Every time I passed by, there are many pork dished on display. According to Filipino colleague, the cooking is authentic.

I had meal there three times, the taste is very good. We can find influence from Malay and Chinese cuisine. They also like to use coconut milk. To me, it is like eating Chinese dish with ingredient like coconut milk. But if you happen to drop by, try it out.
