A kinalas is a noodle dish similar to the usual mami. However, kinalas contains a topping of what looks like Pansit Palabok sauce, and the meaty pork or beef bouillabaisse made from boiling a cow or a pig’s head until the flesh tenderizes enough to detach from the bone surface. Hence, the name KINALAS.
Kinalas and log-log are noodle soup dishes known by many but is more delectable when served Bicol style. The noodles are cooked in a broth of a skinned pig’s head with a very special brown-colored sauce. The soup is topped with very tender meat slices that also came from the pig’s head. Sprinkled with roasted garlic and spring onions, this dish is great when served piping hot with or without an egg. One may also add kalamansi and patis, chicharon and even chili peppers to suit one’s taste. Kinalas is usually paired with Baduya, Banana Cue or Camote Cue, Empanada, Cassava Cake, Pork Chicharon or Puto, whichever you prefer best.
