                Have you ever cross in your mind to visit in Bicol? Have you experience the ambiance 

in bicol? If not you can start it now to plan and set to go in bicol. Because Bicol Province is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Philippines. This is where you can find Albay's perfect cone-shaped Mayon Volcano. Bicol is also well-known for its magnificent waterfalls and beaches, which are ideal for a summer vacation. There's more to it than that. In the Province, you can find spicy and delicious food. People return not only to see the wonders of Bicol, but also to sample its delectable cuisine.

                I grew up in Bicol, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. It's so peaceful to leave Bicol. My life was so simple because I had so many friends there, and the people in Del Gallego were so friendly and approachable. The food was delicious, and it has a best three food that you must try and taste first, which is the Laing. However, few people are aware of laing, one of the most delectable foods to try in Bicol. This traditional dish appears to be a sludge of greens in a thick sauce at first glance. But try a spoonful of it with some rice and you'll be hooked. Laing is made by cooking taro leaves with bits of pork or shrimp in coconut milk, and its distinct flavor comes from the addition of native red chillies, lemongrass, and shrimp paste. The Kinalas is made by boiling beef head and other cow parts for hours until the meat softens and falls off the bone, then pouring this rich broth over egg noodles and topping it with shredded beef, a thick sauce, and a sprinkle of toasted garlic. It's ideal for when you need some warmth and comfort on a rainy day or want to feel better after a night of drinking with your friends. The third one is Pili tart, which you should try for dessert! Pili nuts are grown in the Philippines and are one of the foods to try in Bicol. And the Bicol region produces the most of this buttery tasting nut. Pili is frequently used in the preparation of tarts and cakes. Visitors buy them in bulk to give to their loved ones back home. The pili tart, in particular, is well-liked by both locals and visitors. And this bite-sized treat is jam-packed with flavors that will have you craving more. To make it, ground pili nuts are combined with butter, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt before being stuffed into pastry "boats" and baked. Some of the best pili tarts can be found in souvenir and pastry shops in cities such as Naga and Albay. However, they can also be found in smaller towns throughout the region.

My advice to visitors who want to see the captivating beauty of Bicol is to go there. Another advantage of moving to Bicol is the low cost of living. If you mostly live your daily life on a shoestring budget, Bicol has you covered. Meal prices, for example, are affordable. If your P100 in Manila only gets you a basic meal of one appetizer and one cup of rice, it can go a long way in Bicol (complete with dessert!). Furthermore, the cost of local transportation is not as high as it is in the metro. The Bicol region is a fantastic place to visit for adventure, sightseeing, and delicious food. Try these dishes and you'll be a fan of both traditional and modern Bicolano cuisine!
