Breakfast, Glorious Pinoy Breakfast!

Breakfast, Glorious Pinoy Breakfast! 

Breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal

of the day and we are advised to eat like a king in the

morning to energize and fuel up our body all day long.

 

Here is a glimpse of what is on the breakfast

table of majority of Filipinos  every morning.

We belong to a lower middle class Filipino household 
that  could not afford to hire a stay in household cook, 
so in our breakfast nook, is a cacophony of ready to eat

breakfast fares and drinks that are healthy, tasty, yet easy

to prepare and could be conveniently served anytime.

 

Milk is the magic ingredient in the morning and

could instantly dish out delicious breakfast fares.

 

Our children’s favorite breakfast cereal is

General Mills’ Cinnamon Toast Crunch,



It is made of whole wheat and the cinnamon’s

sweet aroma makes it a irresistible breakfast fare. 

 

The colorfully attractive 
and candy like Fruit Loops,

 

...is another breakfast favorite for kids. 

 

Shredded Wheat is a healthy and delicious way to

start the day, which could be taken plain with milk,

 

 

 

…or make it palatable for kids by

perking it up with Fitnesse Cereals.

Fitnesse Cereals incidentally is another great breakfast

fare and available in most supermarkets in Naga City.

Porridge Oatmeal is also a traditional favorite

among Filipinos for a fast and healthy breakfast.

Gardenia Thick Slice Whole Wheat Bread 
is a fast and easy but tasty Pinoy breakfast fare,

 

…that could just be popped out on the toaster,

…and would go well with cream cheese or butter,

…or as a flavourful French Toast.

Bagel is another a common but delicious

Pinoy breakfast that goes well with cream

cheese but rarely available in Naga City,

…and fortunately, heavenly Muffins are readily

available from Starbucks and from the numerous

Dunkin Donuts and Mr. Donut stores in the city.

 

A combination of Smoked Salmon,

 

…Jacob’s Crackers,

…and Light Mayo,

…could weave a instant, light

and heart friendly breakfast.

Weekends give us more time to prepare elaborate

breakfast and all time Pinoy favorites are Spam,

sunny side up Eggs, served with Brown Rice, and

sweetish tangy pickles as an early morning appetizer. 

A more complex but lighter variant of Spam,

topped with mayo/mustard dressing, sprinkled

with parmesan cheese is a welcome change.

Long vacations give my family a chance to bond

in the kitchen and leisurely prepare our breakfast.

 

We could prepare and dish out easy to cook

yet yummy breakfasts from fluffy Pancakes,

…creamy Mashed Potatoes,

 

…tasty Hash Browns,

…and crispy thick cut Bacons.

Home made all time Pinoy breakfast favorites-

…is there anything better?
