Soup No. 5, Lanciao
Soup No. 5, Lanciao is the infamous soup dish made up of bull male organs believed to have aphrodisiac properties. This claims of course come from those who are regularly eating the soup dish. Pardon to our Chinese readers as lanciao is a dirty word in Hoikien but that’s how they call the dish in Cebu and some parts of the Visayas. I will not discuss whether the dish possess aphrodisiac properties or not for the reasons that I do not have personal knowledge or information to back my opinion, you may post your reactions and comments though.

To prepare the dish you will need buy a pack of Soup #5 set, I bought it from South Supermarket. You will need also a couple of sliced oxtail with skin on, this will add some flavours to the dish. And lastly in addition to the other usual Pinoy aromatic ingredients you will need sibot, a mix of Chinese herbs use in cooking beef or chicken soup. The bull organ set has to be pre-boiled for 5 to 10 minute drain and wash off the scum. The slow cooked for several hours this could take at least 6 hours. Here is the recipe of my version of Soup No. 5, Lanciao, Happy Valentine’s to everyone.
