Longaniza with Sunny Side Up - The Classic Filipino Breakfast
I haven't eaten longaniza in a while as I was trying to cut down on my fat intake but this morning I just couldn't resist as this longaniza breakfast was served by our angels on our breakfast table. Paired with sunny side up eggs, it was delicious. I like my longaniza well-fried with the sugars of the sausage caramelizing on the outside. With chilli laced vinegar on the side as dipping sauce it was perfect. I passed up on the garlic fried rice and just opted for plain rice to reduce my oil intake (and to minimize the guilt in this indulgence). Another accompaniment we would sometimes have with the longaniza is fried dried fish (tuyo) which neutralizes the sweetness of the longaniza with its salty taste. How's that for yin and yang balance.
Sweet and Juicy Pineapples
Pineapples. One of the fruits that we really love (next to mangoes, of course). And the Philippine pineapples are some of the best in the world. We usually get our pineapple treat from Tagaytay, a mere hour and a half drive from Manila. Tagaytay has the sweetest pineapples that I have tried. But on days when we find ourselves craving for pineapples and we have no time to drive to Tagaytay, we usually get our fill with the Dole Tropical Gold pineapples available in most supermarkets in Metro Manila. Dole has packaged their pineapples conveniently, sliced into wedges and ready to eat. Very convenient for busy moms. Try biting into the sweet, succulent pineapple wedges - just heaven.
