Thanks for the kind welcome Steve, and for your interesting thoughts, Lost in Samoa, FastWalk, BigRod and David690.
So, it would appear that two of you guys have developed a healthy affinity for Phils brekkies, with rice and a protein, and big rod and David690 you seem to both have more Fil-Am/Eu brekky tastes, perhaps still like me, if I may say.
All of these choices sound interesting, well-varied and for sure healthy. Of interest, and perhaps understandable (as it appears it's the same as with the Phils diet), it would seem that your traditional breakfast cereals with milk etc does not feature greatly in the diet of ex-pats very much. However, rice and a choice of protein certainly does.
For breakfast my wife loves steamed or fried rice with either tapsilog (fried smoked beef and eggs), tocilog (egg and tocino: marinated pork) longganisa (a pork sausage and egg) or with any kind of fish, dried, smoked or fresh. If possible all of these dishes would include eggs, either fried, srambled or hard boiled and a green salad and/or pickled papaya.
Personally I find all of these choices nice and tasty, and I am slowly getting used to them, though they are still somewhat strong in flavour for my breakfast palate.
On the net, and in tagalog, they say brekky will be either: Tapsilog (tapa + sinangag + itlog) Longsilog (longganisa + sinangag + itlog) Tocilog (tocino + sinangag + itlog) Bangsilog (bangus + sinangag + itlog) Tsokolate-eh and Tsokolate-ah. Champorado. Pandesal and Kakanin.
Anyway, thanks again for your preferences and for your experience guys. For some of us, still, it's a whole new world out there :-)
