Thanks Rani!
Yeah, Kinalas is a soup we have in Bicol. But I wasn't smart enough to ask for a recipe. Now I'm not even in contact with anyone who knows how to make it. It's so good you'd wanna have it every day. In fact, it's so good that President GMA's son once went to Bicol to visit his alma mater and told all his friends he'd treat them to merienda or dinner. They all got dressed really nice since they thought he was taking them to somewhere fancy and expensive. Haha! But he went straight for the karinderya and bought kinalas for his friends and his body guards. I only know coz one of my cousins was among the guys who dressed up only to eat at some cheap hole in the wall.

OMG, would you know how to make kinalas? I've been looking for kinalas since I left Bicol in 2005. :( It's nowhere in Manila and it's definitely nowhere here in Arkansas.
