I don't normally crave for Bulalo on an ordinary day with this summer weather but Digong's Bulalo is just an exception. This garage turned kitchen and dinning at the near corner lot of JP Laurel Street ( a food destination in UP), is a hole in the wall. With Bulalo as Digong's specialty, they need not to offer any other dishes anymore.
Their menu only varies from different parts of beef and Bulalo servings. The Super Bulalo serves a complete Bulalo dish with a bone marrow and costs for only ₱200.00 (good for 4 to 5 people), while the Bulalo without the bone marrow is ₱130.00. They also have Super Mix, which only includes a small serving of beef chunks and balbakwa for ₱65.00 (good for 1 to 2 persons), Laman (beef chunks only) for ₱55.00, Pata with Laman for ₱65.00 and Balbakwa for ₱35.00. You can see this selection printed on the huge tarpaulin posted on their wall.
As inviting as their prices is the steaming hot huge kalderos of Bulalo just right beside the dinning area. The smell of beef stew with its clear broth and spices is just irresistible. And the taste? Dangerously carbo loading! Extra rice, beware! There's something in their recipe that makes their Bulalo different from the usual taste that I know. Some says that they include Sibut and they use Carabeef, that's why it has a dash of asian flavor in soup and sweetness in meat.
I recommend you try Digong's Bulalo whenever you're in UP. Rainy days are coming now so this will be perfect! read more
