Labas mga kapwa ko Filipino rito. Hihi.

Today, we'll talk about our favorite breakfast as Filipinos. Some of you may be able to relate, while others may not because we live in different countries.

I found this on Pinterest that piqued my interest, so let's give it a shot. Another fun game This or That that you will undoubtedly enjoy.

This or That

Pandesal or Silog Meals

I prefer silog meals to pandesal. I don't like pandesal or any bread unless it has a filling. Pandesal dipping in coffee is not my favorite. Because this is a heavy meal, I prefer rice or fried rice with eggs. You won't feel hungry until lunch, unlike if you only eat pandesal in the morning.

Champorado or Lugaw/Mami

I enjoy champorado and lugaw but dislike mami. I can't decide! Haha. I'll go with the Champorado. Let's go, Champorado. Hakhak. Lugaw is best served as a meryenda in the afternoon, while champorado is ideal for breakfast especially when it has a combo of tuyo.

Kape or Milo

Of course, Kape. Coffee is unrivaled in the morning or at night. My stomach does not want Milo because it makes me want to vomit or go to the bathroom. I can't put into words how I felt after drinking milo. The aroma of Kape or Coffee sets the tone for the rest of your day.

Plain Rice or Fried Rice

I enjoy plain rice, but when given the opportunity, I prefer fried rice. When we have eggs, I usually fry my rice with them, and even without the combination, this fried rice is perfect for breakfast. My method of cooking fried rice is to prepare a bowl with the leftover rice from the night before, then add 1 or 2 eggs depending on how much rice there was. I add pepper and salt and mix them together until they are well combined. I heat the pan and add some butter or just a little bit of oil, then add the rice and eggs and mix them until the texture of the fried rice that I want is achieved. That simple, but delicious.

Tapa or Tocino

Tocino takes the win. Tocino has been my favorite since I was a child. Not only for breakfast, but also for lunch and dinner. I enjoy the combination of sweet and salty flavors in this dish. Aside from the sweet and sour pork, my favorite dish with sweetness is tocino.

Scrambled Eggs or Sunny Side Up

I always go for sunny side up eggs. I prefer eating it with the yellow on it to eating it scrambled.

Kamay or Spoon and Fork

When it comes to breakfast, I prefer to eat with a spoon and fork. I don't have the energy in the morning to eat with my kamay or bare hands. Maybe if it's dinner and the dish is dry, I'll eat with just my hand.

Brushed Teeth (Before Eating) or Unbrushed Teeth (Before Eating)

I used to eat breakfast with my teeth unbrushed until recently. If I eat first thing when I wake up, I prefer to eat, and then brush my teeth. But when I wake up and have an hour before eating breakfast, I brush my teeth first.

Final Thoughts

I'm writing this in the morning, so answering this prompt makes me hungry. Haha. Guys, have you had your breakfast yet? I just returned home from my cousin's burial. I usually go there in the afternoon around 6 p.m. and return home around 6 a.m. Just enough to accompany some visitors and provide them with food such as kutkutin, candy, or even coffee. Those are the things we always do when there is a wake in the neighborhood.
