Known for its sweet, tender meat and naturally rich umami flavor, Baluko has long been a cherished part of Bicolano coastal cuisine.
At Mayon Imperial Restaurant, we highlight this local treasure in three delicious styles, each bringing out the distinct character of the Baluko:
Ginataan — Slow-cooked in creamy coconut milk, chilies, and aromatics for that comforting Bicolano flavor.
Chinese-Style — Stir-fried with vegetables and savory spices for a flavorful Asian twist.
Fried — Crispy, golden, and perfect for those who love a satisfying crunch.
Whether you’re a local craving homegrown favorites or a traveler discovering Bicol for the first time, our Baluko dishes offer a taste of tradition, heritage, and culinary creativity. ![]()
