Kulawo: A smoky taste of Batangas warmth
Among Batangas’ well-loved dishes, Kulawo remains a favorite for its distinct smoky flavor and humble roots. Whether made with grilled eggplant or banana blossoms, each serving reflects the province’s approach to cooking: unhurried, resourceful, and full of character.

Prepared over open fire, the vegetables are grilled, pressed, and mixed with coconut cream and spices until they reach a creamy, charred balance. It’s a dish that feels rustic yet deeply satisfying, something that connects locals and visitors to Batangas’ culinary identity.
Sinaing na Tulingan: Slow-cooked comfort from the shores of Batangas
Sinaing na Tulingan, a Batangueño staple, is a study in patience. Fresh bullet tuna is layered with salt, water, and kamias (also known as Kalamias in Batangas), then simmered for hours in a clay pot. The result is tender, flavorful fish steeped in a tangy broth; simple, hearty, and unmistakably from the coast.
