Pinoy Arroz Caldo
Arroz Caldo literally means "hot rice". Notwithstanding that the name was obviously derived from the Spanish (Philippines was colonized by Spain for 300 years; hence, most of our dishes have their influence), it is a popular Filipino comfort food. It's the Filipino version of porridge or congee, only less the Chinese spices and more of the Pinoy condiments such as toasted garlic, sili, calamansi and sometimes with kasubha for color (its like a poor man's saffron). It is a very versatile dish ---- usually a "sick" person's food, or "hang-over's" supper, or simply a "merienda" (afternoon snack) paired with fried tofu and pork, or lumpia. The Pinoy chicken soup for the soul. A comfort food. And sometimes a "panawid gutom" (starters or just a quick fix). To me, this is one of my ultimate comfort food. I remember my mom and my granny used to make arroz caldo during rainy days, as an occasional alternative to our all time favorite champorado. Everyone would hurriedly grab their own spoon and bowl and fall in line (yes, we do) and patiently wait for our bowls to be filled in.
