….that Bicol express was popularized by Cely Kalaw, a native of Laguna and an owner of a restaurant in Malate, Manila. Kalaw’s family moved to Naga when she was three years old. When she grew up and returned to Manila, she invented the dish that became known as Bicol Express, named after the train that travels from Paco Station to Bicolandia. Now ths dish is very popular and a favorite of most Pinoy.(Source: wikepedia.org)
