Kinalas at Pan de Cielo

Hi everyone! I would like to share my all time favorite Bicolano food …. Kinalas! 

Kinalas is a Bicol dish created by cooking noodle garnished by scraped meat from pork or beef’s head and other parts, enhanced with a thick deep-brown sauce coming from the brains of a cow or pig. The word “kalas” is the root word of “hinglas>hiningalas” and is a food term purely refering to meat preparation going back to 16th Century Bicol as evidenced in Lisboa’s bicol dictionary. The idea originally was to separate the meat from the bones and preserve it in salt or brine. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinalas)

Bicol is a Region of the Philippines , located in the Southern part of Luzon.

In Manila there is a place where you can find Bicol Cuisines, you can go to Pan de Cielo . It is a  cozy place, service is good  and menu are at a very affordable price.
