Pinoy Goto or lugaw belongs to the Congee family. It is a popular comfort food in the Philippines. It differs from other Congee recipes such as arrozcaldo because it uses beef tripe. Today, it is sometimes called hangover soup. This is especially popular among teenagers and beer drinkers. The recipe is commonly sold early in the morning by cart vendors along with tokwa’t baboy, mami, and balut.
You may also wonder why the goto sold from a cart is tastier and more addictive than the homemade version. This is because vendors use a lot of preservatives such as “msg” which we actually don’t see during the process of cooking. I admit, that I’m a fan this dish when it’s sold from carts. The taste is superb, the price is reasonable, and my stomach is always satisfied. Are you craving this dish? If you feel energetic, forget about the cart and let’s start cooking. Make your goto today and enjoy our basic recipe.
