Bulaluhan Sa España is run by Mrs Florenia Pineda, who started the business in 1998. Her speciality is Bulalo, a light-coloured beef soup. The chunks of beef shanks and bone marrows are cooked for a long time, until the collagen and fat have melted into the broth, which is also enhanced with corn, vegetables and onions. This is eaten with rice, and a dip made with soysauce, calamansi lime and chilli.

Bulaluhan Sa España was the first stop on the Food Frenzy Safari on 5 April, 2017. The event is part of the World Street Food Congress 2017. Upon arrival, we trooped down from our coach into the restaurant to meet Mrs Pineda. It was the first time I have entered a Filipino-style working-class restaurant. To be exact, a working-class restaurant of this type is called a "turo turo restaurant" for it offers what corresponds to "nasi campur" or "economy rice" back home in Malaysia. Likewise, you point at the dishes you want, and they are scooped out for you, and place on your plate together with your rice and other selected items. The word turo turo comes from Tagalog, and translates literally to "point point".

But this morning, our group of foodies did not have to do any pointing, for all the dishes were already laid out and were waiting for us!

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
