Kick Start Your Day with These 5 Delightful Breakfast Meals

In most Filipino households, eating breakfast is like a tradition— no one dares to skip it, or else you’ll be in trouble with your mother. While we have our own ways of enjoying the first meal of the day, there are certain dishes—that all of us can agree—are a must at the table. Here are five delightful breakfast ideas worth waking up for!

Silog meals

Silog meals are definitely on top of our list as most Filipinos love a heavy breakfast to start off their day. A silog meal is composed of sinangag or fried garlic rice, paired with viands like tapa (tapsilog), longganisa (longsilog), hotdog (hotsilog), or basically anything fried, and served with eggs. These dishes are appetizing that Filipinos also love to eat this for lunch.

Pandesal

A staple bread in the Pinoy breakfast table, pandesal is dubbed as the “Philippine National Bread” by most people. Though it is already delicious even if eaten on its own, some Filipinos like to stuff their pandesal with scrambled eggs or cheese and pair it with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate.

With various culinary trends emerging nowadays, Filipinos couldn't help but give their all-time favorite bread a flavorful twist. You can buy them now in different flavors.

Boneless Bangus

Nothing beats a crispy-fried boneless bangus for breakfast, especially when it is paired with toyomansi and tomato. The fish itself is already tasteful because of the marinade, but the belly adds up to its deliciousness. Some also eat it with atchara, a fermented dish made with papaya, ginger root, and vinegar.

Champorado

Champorado is a chocolate-flavored rice porridge made from cocoa powder, sugar, and sticky rice. It is typically served with milk, while some prefer it with tuyo (salty dried fish). This sweet and chocolatey dish is definitely perfect for the kids’ breakfast and afternoon snack.

Pancakes and Waffles

While the typical Pinoy almusal is a heavy meal, some Filipinos prefer to kick off their day with an American twist— pancakes or waffles drizzled with maple or chocolate syrup, and served with a bacon and egg on the side.
