Catanduanes is known as the “Happy Island” of the Philippines and is a bucket list spot for surfers around the world because of its giant waves. The province is also known as the “Land of the Howling Winds” because of its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, hence the frequent typhoons that ravage its shores annually. Despite this, the Catandunganons always find a way to help each other through calamities—all with a smile on their faces.
Aside from the untouched nature that the island is known for, their delicacies and heirloom recipes stand out amongst its neighbors in the Bicol region. From tapa made from “Carabeef” or Carabao (water buffalo) meat, to a comforting bowl of Kusido, and tender Sinalpungan, this is the video that you need if you want to discover the best food of Catanduanes.
