Famous Tuslob-Buwa in Cebu City

The most famous food delicacies in Cebu City, the Tuslob-Buwa. It is originated in Pasil Cebu City where I grow up. It is mainly made of pork brains and a broth. It can also be paired with a marinated pork liver. It is very vast in our barangay Pasil. Whenever you visit our barangay you can easily find this Tuslob-Buwa almost in every street inside the barangay. Tuslob-Buwa came from two Cebuano word the Tuslob(to dip) and Buwa(bubble), it means "to dip in the bubbles".

Many establishments offers Tuslob-Buwa for an affordable price but was not able to go beyond the original taste of it. I have tried it in the city of Mandaue which they offer Tuslob-Buwa but it doesn't taste like the one in our barangay. Some establishments who offers tuslob buwa only contains a small amount of pork brains which is the most and main ingredient of the tuslob buwa.

The Tuslob-Buwa becomes trending in social media and it was also being featured in some TV programs.
