Bulcaching

During my college days ( Davao City)I remembered one eatery near my school where my friends and I used to eat because of their dish which they called "BULCACHING" the soup is really addicting, it is a combination of  beef shank and ox feet cooked until it i very tender, one of the food server said it's a combination of bulalo and balbacua, I am craving for that soup that's why I tried cooking it and wow gotcha! Yummy! You can try it too and see it for yourself.
