Pinangat is a famous native chili-hot delicacy of the town of Camalig. A vegetable dish cooked in coconut milk mixed with select spices and its most important ingredient, the TARO (gabi in Filipino and natong in Bicol) leaves.
Local gourmets are easily agreed that none can equal the quality of pinangat in Camalig. Whenever visitors come to Bicol, the first thing they invariably look for is their favorite pinangat from Camalig. Even balikbayans do not fail to take home along with them to their host country a box or two of frozen pinangat as pasalubong.
That’s how popular and special Camalig pinangat is as a food dish.
