Origin of laing
The Bicol region is one of the major producers of coconut crops, so it’s not surprising for them to incorporate coconut milk into their dishes.
Some of Bicol’s best ginataan dishes include Bicol Express and gising-gising. Now, we have laing, where coconut milk is also one of the primary ingredients.
Due to laing’s unique taste, it’s now known to the whole country. Whenever you travel around and visit locals, simply ask for this dish to have a bowl.
