I had a fresh from the fridge chocolate rice porridge (champorado) with milk in it and dried anchovies sent from home (dilis) for today’s dinner. I set the AC to the max, enough for me to chill. It’s best to eat this perfect sugary and salty combo when it’s cold/rainy. Yes, mind over matter. As they say, dilis is Pinoy’s french fries so you should eat it with a hand.
PS. Excuse the vase (a coconut milk bottle). I actually don’t have a decent vase because I don’t maintain fresh flowers on a regular basis. Those are Valentine’s left overs. It’s good that I realized to replace the vase before taking a photo, otherwise I’m at the risk of being found out that I made my previous company’s mug as temporary vase. 
Have you tried the champorado and dilis combo? If not, you’re missing a lot.

It will make a big difference pag may ka-partner na tuyo or dilis.
favorite combo ko yan! but my friends tell me it’s weird combination. di lang kasi nila natry. sarap kaya!

Are those friends foreigner? I thought lahat ng Pinoy mahilig sa weird combination. Hahaha!
dilis? hindi ba tuyo?
.-= angeli´s last blog ..Mutual Concession =-.
Any dried fish will do.
kami naman champorado and tuyo; hinihimay yung tuyo tapos sprinkle on top of the champorado kaya every subo may tuyo at champorado.
I haven’t tried the sprinkling style. I’ll do next time. Parang sprinkling ng tinapa sa palabok.
nakakagutom naman yung post mo…I love Champorado since I was a child and now am cooking this for my kids..to pass on the Filipino cooking thingy and they like it

I can’t help but comment.
It’s my eternal fave, champorado. I most love it with sapsap, one kind of dried fish.
Thanks for dropping by. I like sapsap, too. I was trying to leave a comment to your trip to Naga post, but I encountered errors.
Btw, the last time I went to Naga was pre-construction of SM. It was opposed by most of the businessmen then. Thinking that it would kill their businesses. Aside from Bigsby’s, I liked Chilli Peppers, too. The latter is a little far from poblacion.
Actually, I’m a frequent reader of your blog.
Thanks for dropping by at my blog too.
I really wished that I’d explore Naga when I was there. There are a lot of food establishments and it’ll be nice sana if I was able to try as many. But I look forward to my next trip and hopefully will try the 2 you mentioned. Thanks for sharing!

kuya loves that combi. i prefer tuyo though. we cook champorado at least once a week because of the kiddos. recently we tried using japanese rice (from my sis) kasi we ran out of malagkit, ay ang saraaap!
I think the one with jap rice is yummier!
Hey, did you make that champorado yourself? I love that it has lotsa milk!!!

Masarap kase kinokontra yung lasa ng isa’t isa. Parang opposites attract ang effect.

Uy, namiss ko yung flavored (orange) dilis na yan!
Nagutom ako. After reading your post, I’m now keen in putting chocolate to my oatmeal. I’m sure lasang champ-o-rado na rin sya, d b? The Dilis? Hmmm…I don’t think it will be in my menu for the next two months. Wala daw muna maalat sabi ni doc.
