Arroz Caldo with Goto

It's KCC (Kulinarya Cooking Club) time once again!  This month's theme is being hosted by Joy of Joy's Misadventures and she came up with another Filipino favorite called Arroz Caldo.

Arroz Caldo is a Spanish term for congee, a type of rice porridge popular in many Asian countries but names vary depending on how it was prepared.  Though there are several variations, congee is always a thick porridge or soup of rice which has usually disintegrated after prolonged cooking in water (derived from wikipedia).



 
Here in the Philippines, Arroz Caldo (rice soup) is a type of congee cooked with chicken as a main ingredient, while there is another popular congee called Goto which is cooked and served with innards of cow.  Gross? It's delicious actually *wink*.

For this month's challenge, I chose to combine Arroz Caldo and Goto in one dish.  Pushing myself a bit coz I haven't done this before.  Either I cook Arroz or Goto but never combined until now.
