Hototay soup is a common dish for Filipinos. Hototay soup, originally, is a Chinese soup. But now, expect to see it on the menu list of some Filipino restaurants and eateries.

Hototay soup is a combination of meat-and-vegetables with slivers of pork meat, pork liver, chicken gizzards, dumplings, mushrooms and vegetables in a clear broth garnished with raw eggs. Some find it exotic, but I said; its authentic.!
