Moy, believe it or believe it not, but that papaya, known to many Filipinos to control libido, is actually the aphrodisiac of aphrodisiacs.
Especially when eaten at breakfast time when it is reported that papaya increases female libido and that the fruit has compounds that act as the female hormone estrogen.

That aside though, Papaya is actually one of the most healthiest of foods.

Now tell me more about that tofu porridge ?

porridge or congee, we Filipinos know it as lugaw–soft-boiled rice cooked in meat broth. Color it with chicken and color it a little with kasubhaand it is called chicken arroz caldo… cook it with beef tripe and it is known as goto… serve it plain with tokwa’t baboy on the side… In a country where rice is a staple food, we Filipinos have learned to cook it in many pleasing ways.

The best variety of rice for making lugaw is the malagkit na bigas (glutinous rice). Starchy and sticky, the rice thickens the broth and makes a very filling lugaw. But there’s no reason why one can’t cook a reasonably good lugaw by using other varieties of rice. The trick is to slow cook the rice over very low heat for forty-five minutes to an hour. Plus, of course, one must use a very good meat broth in which to cook the rice. I used the broth from the sarciadong dila ng baka (ox tongue stew. Then, I served my lugaw with cubes of ox tongue and fried tokwa (tofu) that had been seasoned a la tokwa’t baboy..known also as the ultimate filipino comfort food
