| Filipino favorite Beef Bulalo |
For the record, I haven’t
met anyone who doesn’t like Beef Bulalo or Filipino Beef Marrow Soup. That being said, I assume that everyone loves bulalo. Native to
the Southern Luzon region of the country, Bulalo is a comforting light colored
soup with rich beef broth made from hours of simmering beef shanks and bone
marrow bones. The procedure is painstaking as the collagen and fat has to be
melted into the clear broth. Seasonings vary from chef to chef but staple
ingredients are usually composed of salt, black pepper and fish sauce, garlic
etc. Although just like adobo, there have been many versions of bulalo across
the country but at its core, bulalo is a simple cattleman’s stew, best cooked
in a large cauldron with whatever vegetables available. Some use potatoes,
corn, pechay, cabbage, string beans, onion leeks, among many others.
Bulalo is one of my favorite Filipino dishes! My family and I wouldn’t really mind driving all the way up to Tagaytay City if we’re really craving for this particular dish. It’s a treat to eat especially during monsoon season, cold rainy days or during pre-holiday season. I personally like eating Bulalo because it’s a filling stew that’s deceptively light. The soup alone with rice and dipping sauce is good enough for a meal.
However, if
you’re too lazy to cook, doesn’t have much patience to wait for it to cook or
to even drive to Tagaytay where several restaurants are specializing in this
dish. I recently discovered you can have it delivered at home via AyosBusog.com—yes,
they can deliver frozen bulalo meals from popular brand, Bulalo World. So you
can be assured to still have that restaurant-quality meal while you’re at the
comfort of your home.
