With a multicultural family such as mine, breakfast is basically a "what-you-want" affair. Hubby prefers a ver American breakfast like sausage and egg in a bun (American breakfast sausage, to clarify things). Sometimes, he pairs his sausage with a bowlful of cereal (Cheerios or Kellogs cornflakes) with sliced bananas on top.
This is what Jai prefers (and most of the time, what I would prefer too), a Filipino breakfast of garlic fried rice, egg and a savory meat with it. Usually it is bacon, egg and fried rice. Or dried fish (tuyo), egg and fried rice. Or Spam, egg and fried rice. You get the picture. It is a hearty breakfast that lasts you well into lunch.
Billy usually prefers his brekkies with a hashbrown. Like little korean vienna sausages with hash browns. Oh and he loves buttered toasts. Sometimes he imitates his dad by having cereal and milk with sliced bananas on top. But his real favorite is his dad's sausage gravy. This is simply crumbled sausages fried with bacon grease and then with added flour to make roux, milk is the last ingredient to make everything come together with gravy. It is perfect over biscuits, crumbled bread or toast (which is affectionately called Sh!t on a Shingle or SOS).
Me, I sometimes prefer a bowl of noodles and some fried dumplings or siomai on the side.
Or more garlic fried rice, longganisa (Filipino sausages or what Bill calls "short-ganisa" as a joke) and a small heaping of salted egg salad with tomatoes and onion on the side.
Then again, sometimes I just want hubby's hotel scrambled eggs that as fluffy as the clouds in the sky. What a perfect way to start the day.
