Sizzling bulalo is the house specialty of Royal Suite Inn in Dumaguete City. A must try if you're in town! But, as delicious as it looks and smell, be reminded that this dish is not good for those with health issues most especially with cholesterol or high blood if it's over indulged. So control your appetite!
An order cost at around Php490 (but not more than Php500, rice and drinks are not included) is already good for 3-4 persons depending on your appetite. You will get a very large bone (beef shank) on a large sizzling platter where its bone marrow is already mixed with the gravy (it tastes like creamy butter).
I can't find the Royal Suite's sizzling bulalo recipe but you can try this one out.
