Whenever I get sick, the first dish that came into my mind is Arroz Caldo. I do not know why but I tend to crave Arroz Caldo when I’m not feeling well physically. I’ve always wanted to cook this dish on my own and finally, I was able to do it last month! Here’s the recipe for Arroz Caldo.
Arroz Caldo is a filipino dish and I remember it being so popular in a restaurant called Via Mare. It’s there where I always the dish when I crave for it. Arroz Caldo is awesome with lots of calamansi! I might have to cook this again as I’m wishing to eat it again 😅
