Kinalas

Kinalas is a traditional dish originating from the Bicol area. It's made with a combination of noodles, spices, pork or beef brains, and scraped meat from pork or beef head. This noodle soup is served in a shrimpy, garlicky brown gravy consisting of dried shrimps, vinegar, garlic, shallots, soy sauce, and fish sauce.


Kinalas is often garnished with spring onions, fried garlic, or chili peppers, but some people like to add a hard-boiled egg on top. The dish is always served hot, and its name is derived after the Bicolano word kalas, meaning to remove the meat from the bones.
