In the cuisine of the Ilocos region, KBL stands for the side dish combination of Kamatis + Bagoong + Lasuna.
Kamatis = Tomatoes
Bagoong = Fermented Fish Paste
Lasuna / Lasona: Shallots or Small Purple Onions
To compare, in the Iloilo region of the Visayas, KBL refers to Kadyos + Baboy + Langka (Pigeon Peas + Pork + Jackfruit).
* Interesting Trivia: The word lasuna derives from the Sanskrit language!
