SPECIAL OF TAGAYTAY: BULALO

A beef soup comprised of shank with bone marrow still inside the bone, Bulalo is considered to be one of the most favorite main dishes in the Philippines. Because of the popularity of this Filipino food, restaurants and eateries specializing in cooking Bulalo were put-up.Some of the famous “Bulalohan” can be found in Tagaytay City (Cavite) and Sto. Tomas (Batangas). Commercial restaurants also include Bulalo in their menu.

Bulalo is one of my favorite dishes besides Dinuguan. Well, I guess I crave for soup dishes more than the dry ones, haha. My most favorite part of the Bulalo dish is the bone marrow. Everytime I'd eat this dish with my family, I'd always tell them to save me the bone marrow. I am a hungry kid, I crave for appetizers and mostly rice meals.

Here's a recipe I found:
