Giving in to the cravings: Biglaang Bulalo

I just watched the viral video of the man who went ballistic because he was not able to eat his favorite bulalo. Apparently, the bakery he went to doesn't serve the hot soup he wanted so badly.

The story was featured on Kapuso Mo, Jessica Sojo tonight, and after watching it, I just can't help but think--how tasty must a bulalo be to make a man go on a rampage? 



So...

I got so curious, I asked my beloved to take me on a food trip and then we went around town finding a restaurant that serves this fantastical comfort food.

We tried the best restos in town first, but unfortunately, they don't serve the food we are craving for. So, we went around looking for cheap karinderyas, hoping we'll find the steamy fix we needed for tonight.



And tadaa--our search led us to this humble eatery at the side of ML Quezon Road, Angono, Rizal (Double Hi-way) near Scrapyard and 7-Eleven.

This eatery serves not only bulalo, but other famous Pinoy comfort food as well, such as beef mami, goto and tapsi meals. 



Of course, I ordered their special bulalo, while KR ordered the beef mami


The soup was oily and my taste buds told me there isn't anything special about it. It actually just tasted like a simple nilaga. The beef was very tender and well-cooked, though. And it really hits the spot on a cold night like tonight. So, I guess that's a plus. 


The beef mami was just as ordinary as it can be. It has the same broth as the bulalo, so their tastes were practically identical. The noodles were okay. They were just--well, ordinary noodles.


But they were so good because it was so cold tonight and we were having a craving for them, and so I guess our tummies' desires were fulfilled.

Ordinary can sometimes be extraordinary--especially if you want it really, really bad.


Just like the fanatical kuya who turned infamous because of his bulalo craving.

And again, my dears.
Thanks for reading.
