Arroz Caldo

Arroz Caldo is a type of congee . This is one of my comfort food which I had for lunch at Dencio's Restaurant for only Php 30.00 with half egg.  Arroz Caldo is also one of the favorite food of those who want to sober-up. I include here a recipe if you feel like cooking this one in your home.

1 kilo chicken; cut in small pieces
1 cup uncooked malagkit or plain rice or combination

4 cloves garlic; chopped
odFish sauce

Salt to taste (optional)
Chicken bouillon cubes (optional)
1 tablespoon minced fried garlic (for garnishing)
