Hearty Chocolatey Breakfast
Nothing beats a warm bowl of champorado, and champorado is the star of this story.
I woke up pretty late yesterday at 7 AM (yeah, that’s already late) but I still managed to prepare a very hearty meal – instant Champorado! Specifically White King Champ-o-rado (free promotion, available in major groceries and supermarkets). I am not sure if you already know this product but its really good. It has real malagkit rice and very chocolatey. Just follow the package instructions, and voila! you have your yummy Champorado! My kids were pulled out of the bed by the smell of the hot champorado and boy, they were really excited to eat!
Champorado
Of course, Champorado is not complete without Evaporated milk (I always use Carnation, haha, another free promotion). I also served this with Spicy Dilis, you know, the red dilis? That’s it. Spicy Pusit would also be a very good partner or tuyo, anything salty actually is a good partner to champorado.
And so, a day has passed and my hubby is still not over the yummy champorado. He suggested that we ask his mom to cook authentic champorado when we visit them next week. (we’ll be going home to Mabini, Batangas for Sam’s birthday next weekend. Yey!) He said that we can buy the ‘malagkit’ rice at the grocery and buy tablea (tablea de cacao) on our way there. I’ll try to find coconut here and extract the coconut milk or maybe we can buy at the talipapa. I think Champorado would be yummier if served with a drizzle of coconut milk. Wow, thinking of it already makes me hungry. I’ll stop thinking about it for now. And that’s the end of my story. 
Next time, I’ll post the Champorado recipe, not instant.

As Sam my smart and beautiful daughter likes to say, (she got this from the LuckyMe commercial) “ang pagkain ng pamilya ay mahalaga”. So when you have the chance to cook for and eat with your loved ones, enjoy, its a wonderful bonding moment.
Have a blessed week everyone.
Ah yes, nothing beats the awesomeness of authentic champorado or chocolate rice pudding? Anyways, it’s perfect for cold, rainy mornings.
@jhay, i use to call it choco porridge, but not sure if that’s also the right term. but it doesn’t matter, right?
aside from the usual coffee-pandesal combo plus a variety of light meats, i think champorado is a great alternative.
