Champorado

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.
