There are as many variants of this dish —
gulay na lada
(hot red or green finger chilis cooked in coconut milk) — as
there are households in the Bicol Peninsula. The late famed
restaurateur Cely Kalaw of The Grove-
Luto ng Inay
fame
liked to repeat the oft-told tale that it was her brother who
introduced the Bicolano dish to Manila, naming it after the
express Bicol–Tutuban train, which they could hear from their
Malate
carinderia
kitchen. Try it at Bigg’s Diner, Evangelista
St, Naga City, Camarines Sur; tel: +63 (54) 472 1501.
