But if we find some background on the dish, then we’d be happy to post it along with the photo. And yes, please share all you want!:) Ingat tabi!

i'm a Bicolana, from Daraga specifically. my prob is during visits from my friends from other regions all they wanted to do is to taste the Bicol Cuisine. I have no idea what to feed them!Now at least I have some ideas. Thanks to u guys!!!
May I suggest next time to widen your area (the whole region) as well as indicate the names and addresses of the restaurants of these lovely, delicious foods (so that I know where to bring my friends!)heheheeh!
Kudos to u!!!!Proud to be a Bicolana!!!
Hello,anonymous lover!
DARAGA,REPRESENT! WHOOOO!<3
Thank you!:) We hope your friends dream about our yummeh,yummeh food!
We do plan on expanding our gastronomic trips to Sorsogon and Camalig/Guinobatan area, but please be patient, we need to fill up our wallets first. Hihihih. Today,Legazpi. Tomorrow,Sorsogon!Next week, Camarines Sur! Next month,the world! :))
Some of the pictures have the name of the restaurants in them. The others don’t, so please don’t hesitate to ask us. :) We’ll post soon about the restaurants we have been to and their contact details. :)

Mabalos.

Hi Kookie!
Thank you! We hope you enjoyed being visually entertained. :))
As for contributing writers, we’ll think about it since we made this as a blog to show our food trips all over Bicol, but if this blog skyrockets to fame(chos!), we’re more than willing to share the popularity. Hihihih. We’ll keep that in mind though,that’s an awesome idea. :)
Salamat tabi!

Would you care to share your thoughts on one native food from my hometown in Matnog, Sorsogon, it is called "MOLIDO"?

Hi Pen!
Thank you for taking the time out to read our blog! It’s no big deal since we have fun filling up this blog and our bellies with good food. Hihihih. :))
I’ve eaten molido during fiestas and other special occasions from all over Albay so I can’t distinguish the molido made from Matnog and those from Camalig or anywhere else. We’re planning to go on a Sorsogon foodtrip by October so we’ll keep in mind to try it out!Would you know where we can get some of those?:)
And kinunot!:D Yummeh!
Ingat tabi!
