I was thrilled to try this because I've heard and read only good things about Gotong Batangas. Gotong Batangas is a filipino dish soup, but unlike the typical goto, it's made of tender beef tripe and other innards responsible for the thick consistency and its distinct taste. It's usually served with a side of soy sauce, onions, calamansi and chili. It's also not served like goto because this is supposed to be eaten with rice! I mean, what a treat right? As a huge fan of rice you can already tell I was too excited to try. When I was shooting this, I couldn't even be bothered to take more shots of the food in different angles because I was starving. I first had a sip of the soup and it instantly reminded me of Papaitan minus the bitter taste. I then proceeded to put it on top of my steaming rice, generously adding the toyomansi + chili + onion mixture. The first bite was divine! It was hugely because it resembled papaitan a lot but it also had its distinct taste. Best eaten with a lot of onions and I also added more chopped green onions on the soup.
