BEEF BONE MARROW SOUP (BULALO)

      The hotter it is the best, that's what it implies when it talks about this recipe and is popular to the province of Batangas and Tagaytay. The delightful taste of the soup could increase your stamina but eating this food requires moderation and  if you love eating bulalo, then try my version of cooking. and be sure to pay attention of the texture of the meat and the beef should be extra tender.
