Classic Breakfast - tuyo, jeprox (dried fish) and fried eggs
Tuyo and the likes (Daing, Dilis and Dang-git) was once known as poor man’s food (poor man’s fish - aba para palang sbahu poor mans cocaine lol), For it is very cheap and is available even at your favorite suking tindahan sari-sari store. But not anymore (Obviously I am eating it noh! I am from Forbes ha! Forbes Street!) LOLS *Ana Dionisio, istatue?*
Now you can find it from different high end restaurants in the Philippines, for they use it in their dishes (Salad and Pasta). Who would have thought of it? It’s also been the typical breakfast fares in fast-food chains. Not just that.. It’s now for export too
Tuyo may have that distinctive smel… But once eaten ahhh heaven! [Choosing between muffins, bagel, donut, apple pie, pate atbp...., and tuyo? I'll definitely go for tuyo! *With matching cheer leading sa background bwahaha*]
Tuyo is a dried fish (Tuyo actually meaning dried, not basa! bwahahaha. Eh di sana kung basa sya di basa na tawag sa kanya. *I had basa for breakfast. Ekkkk anlaswa naman! TG.). The process of salting and drying preserves the fish and you can actually safely store this for some time. This is done to a number of kinds of fish so you can have different variants of tuyo.
Tuyo is usually eaten for breakfast with fried rice, tomatoes and coffee.
I am such a sucker for breakfast! [Let alone Tuyo!] A very good combination - my dried tuyo, jeprox and fried eggs. The mixed veggies is just a substitute for the tomatoes.
Vietnamese Coffee - Cà phê sua dá (Oh, Let it Drip)
(My little elves namely Minh, Trang and Phuong are really gettin’ excited about this entry..) Aren’t you guys? [C'mon will y'all stop tickling me! STOP!]
Oh well… So much for that chikka…
I love coffee - it’s s part of my daily morning life. My mornings aren’t complete without coffee… In short I could not function without coffee, I need some kaba in me… Bwahahahah!!!
Coffee with Chicory [French Market it is, available in grocey - for a small, very small can it'll cost you roughly $5 something something bweheheheh
