My daily Breakfast nr.9

This morning was another Sandwich morning. Similar to the last breakfast sandwich, I had fried eggs, bacon and all the juicy sauces int he sandwich, but this time I got it served in a soft bun.

The eggs were still liquid and of course it dribbled on the plate and on my chin......yes not very "comme il faut" but so yummy.

To get every morning a nice surprise with breakfast is really a great way on how to start the day on a happy note.

My daily Breakfast Nr 8, Champorado


Today I got a special treat. It is another Filipino Breakfast called Champorado. It is sticky rice cooked with a little sugar and cocoa powder. It is not really sweet, except you add some more sugar at the end

This was really special and I love the start, my fiancee used a really good cocoa powder from Barry Callebaut and it made the Champorado nice and dark and tasty, just as it should be

Then at the end she served it with a bit of milk on top, I added still a bit more sugar, so it was actually like a soft rice porridge with chocolate. It is a great breakfast as it is nice and filling and holds me easily through to the afternoon, when I usually have my lunch

The most important item on this dish is that you have a good sticky rice, then everything else is easy. The sticky rice makes everything a bit like a porridge. If the rice is still a bit al dente...that is how I like it, just with this gentle bite to it.
