FLAVOURS OF ILOILO

Having breakfast is one of the many good ways to start your day. And it's even better when you have your favorites in one plate. Here's a plate full of my favorites; corned tuna, fried boneless dilis, fried banana and hardboiled egg . I even had another plate of boneless dilis and miniature dilis with tomatoes. Now this is really breakfast!

A classic Filipino breakfast combo is fried dilis mixed with tomato and onions slices locally known in Ilonggo as " hinanggop ". Really an appetizer but almost beocming a breakfast item for some people. This one makes use of boneless dilis .

Hanggop is a relatively new term for me. It was in Weekend Pastime that I got to know what it really is; just fried balingon mixed with tomatoes and onions . I already have a blog entry for hanggop under a different term but seeing it on the table today was too tempting not to blog. But I had to make it different so I just placed them in hardboiled egg (white) cup. I also ended up making a kalo-kalo (fried rice) with leftover hanggop , hardboiled eggyolks, seasoning and my favorite of the moment, sesame oil. Everything just went its way and I ended with another plated meal. Those shrimps were just for decoration plus I added some calamansi juice concentrate to have some variety in flavour. So just enjoy what I already did and had today.
