The original name of the famous Bicol Express is LINATIK.
it nmeans spicy or ma-anghang. Bicol’ “MIRAYA” among the bicolanos is noted for their spicy foods and ginataang gulay usuallty hot to taste. The MIRAYAN country is compose of Donsol,Daraga,Pio Duran, Jovellar, Guinobatan. Their cooking is quite different from the rest of Bicol, it is somewhat exotic.

Remember Bicol Express or “LINATIK” is not only mixed with pork, balaw, but also exotic fishes such as Baluko or other meaty shell fishes,Shark PAGI of course my favorite We called this “KINUNUT’. If you happen to be in this Mirayan country try this exotic Bicol Express known as “KINUNUT’.

So, Bicol Express was the name used for fun when asked about this exotic food from a local train bound for Bicol in early 60’s with markings of Bicol Express.

I am hoping this will open up the minds of filipinos that the original still being called LINATIK is our “LINTIK SA ANGHANG ANG SARAP” invention. MABUHAY ANG MGA BICOLANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doddie, glad it worked for you. Can’t imagine a “mild” chilli dish in Korea, of all places!
