About Bicol express
Bicol Express is a popular Filipino dish known for its rich flavors and spicy kick. Originating from the Bicol region of the Philippines, this dish typically features pork cooked in a creamy coconut milk sauce, seasoned with shrimp paste, garlic, onions, and an abundance of chili peppers. Its spicy profile reflects the Bicolano love for heat in their cuisine. While Bicol Express is packed with flavor, its healthiness depends on portion sizes and ingredient adjustments. Coconut milk provides healthy fats, while chili peppers are rich in antioxidants and vitamins that support metabolism and boost immunity. However, the dish can be high in saturated fat due to the pork and coconut milk, and sodium content from the shrimp paste. Opting for leaner cuts of pork or substituting with seafood or vegetables can make it a lighter option while still celebrating the vibrant taste of this Filipino classic.
