I woke up this rainy morning with the sweet chocolatey smell of Champorado, my mama's been stirring a big pot of it. Yes, you've read it right. It's a big pot! Well, my mom's used in cooking whatever-it-is in big batches, as if she's feeding an army, even if there's just 4 people in the house. I think it's a habit she'd had, when we still live in province where whenever you cook you share with the whole neighborhood, too. I think that's what most Filipinos are, generous and welcoming to everyone.

Oooh so chocolatey Champorado! |
Champorado is a sweet chocolate rice porridge. Wherein sticky rice is boiled with cocoa powder or tablea (blocks of cocoa powder). I love pouring more milk into it.
Most of Filipinos would pair champorado with tuyo (dried fish). We just love pairing the sweet with salty :)
We have such a piquant taste for food.

I like champorado with lots of milk & i like it straight from the fridge :) hehe. i don't eat tuyo nga lang.
This is very unusual to me ... salted fish with chocolate! I suppose it's almost like having bacon brownies or bacon ice cream :D Very interesting indeed!

Hi Ping! that's very unusual indeed.
but it's a Filipino favorite.
Hmmm. Not sure how that would go over in my house, lol. Hubs might throw a tantrum. I'm a new follower from the Weekend Hop at A Spicy Boy, A Cat, and My Fat Ass. Please follow me back and feel free to drop by Horseshoes anytime.
