Anyhow, going back to lovinggg breakfast food, I'd have to say the best ones are those shared with people who loves breakfast food as well - hmmm, does that make sense??? (Pardon me, this is one of those no-nonsense, not-too-witty, not-deep-at-all, crazy blog entry - had too much coffee this morning!)
But going back to my point, below are my best breakfast food experiences ever:
1) My sisters and I have this ritual of trying out breakfast buffets at different hotels in Cebu. Yeah, paying that much for breakfast, but at the end of the sumptuous meal, our wallets can't complain. Neither can our tummies (it's too stuffed to say anything, really)! Hats off to the Marco Polo Hotel breakfast buffet - SUMPTUOUS to the nth level! From all the different waffles, pancakes, eggs prepared in different ways, bacon, bacon, and lots of bacon (I LOVE BACON PERIOD), etc etc. Shucks, can't even enumerate all the breakfast gooodies I feasted on that time! Hmmm, I ought to try it again and give a better review... This is just me chatting away. Nonsense again.
2) My family and I took a trip to Kuala Lumpur last year and truly enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Corus Hotel (just a stone's throw away from the Petronas Towers). It was such a feast, as usual, but it was unique in a way that it had a Malaysian touch in all the dishes served. Yumyum, I need not expound. Even if there were weird (weird but yummy, nonetheless) dishes, the staples were served as well - my much needed freshly brewed coffee, lots and lots of rice, eggs, BACON.
3) Even back at home, we're not a breakfast family. My mom wakes up late. It's usually only me and Poppy who get up early, more often than not, we have coffee together. Poppy's staples: a few slices of wheat bread with his fat-free butter (does that really hold true?). There are those days, as well, when my sister would prepare pancakes for our baby sister Bieni. Those are fun, bonding moments I cherish as well.
4) I just shared a beautiful "household" experience with several sisters from my community - our breakfasts were just the best! We served all sorts of breakfast goodies - from the buwad (dried fish), tsokolate (hot cocoa), fruits (and lots of fruits), tosino (sweetened meat, is it?), longganisa (what is this called in english?), chorizo (this again what???), etc etc. On our last day, we had our so-called GRAND breakfast and grand it was! I cooked my favorite french toast (a no-brainer really but they were all in awe at what I prepared! Hahaha), then another sister prepared her famous egg omelette, oh simply D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!!! But what actually made the whole household breakfast experience unforgettable was the joy we all shared in serving each other - cooking for each other, serving drinks, etc for the other sisters, and the like. It was simply memorable. Talk about the best breakfast experience complete with service de luxe!
5) Both Choobs and I share the love for breakfast food - well, all sorts of food really. During his last visit, the day before he was set to leave back for the States, he served me with the yummiest breakfast ever - not even a Marco Polo or a Shangrila buffet could ever beat. It wasn't grand, he cooked the usual sunny-side eggs (our fave!), chicken tosino - but all had a Pantaleon touch that made everything more delicious, more memorable! And what made it more unforgettable was that he served me all the way, he wouldn't let me help out in the kitchen at all! He told me to wait by the couch, go to sleep or watch TV. Talk about spoiling me big time! Darn, I felt I deserved it too, after all, he was leaving me the following day. :( All in all, it was the grandest, most delicious, most unforgettable - as in those breakfasts shared with family and friends. In the end, it's who you share breakfast (and other meals for that matter) with, not just the best breakfast food served. So there, breakfast after breakfast, even for a non-breakfast lover, I look forward to sharing them with loved ones, they make the best, grandest breakfasts after all.
