Beef Papaitan
Hailing from the Ilocos region, Beef Papaitan is a popular Filipino soup that is cooked with beef innards such as the liver and heart. While it is usually served as a means to cure hangovers, many Pinoys enjoy this as their main dish. Did you know that the signature bitterness of this exotic soup comes from using the bile of a goat or cow? If you’re unable to get your hands on some bile, you can use lemon peel and pith instead!
