filipino breakfast – Jellybeans in the City

Start your day right with Purefoods Native Silog Favorites: A taste of home in every bite

“SILOOOOG!” Imagine that as your morning wake-up call. That’s the sound of breakfast excitement, signaling a meal that’s filling, flavorful, and easy to prepare. For many Filipino families, nothing says “good morning” better than a delicious silog meal—whether it’s tapsilog, tocilog, or longsilog. These meals combine garlic rice (sinangag), eggs (itlog), and a flavorful meat dish, all on one plate. And with Purefoods Native Silog Favorites, enjoying this classic breakfast has never been easier.

It brings together a wide range of ready-to-cook Filipino favorites, each one ideal for the busy mornings or when you want to prepare a hearty meal for the family.

Purefoods Beef Tapa: Meaty, Tender Goodness

Among all the options in the Purefoods Native Silog Favorites line, Purefoods Beef Tapa is a standout. It’s made from tender, marinated cuts of beef that are aged for extra softness and flavor. When you cook it, you get that delicious meaty, juicy goodness that pairs perfectly with garlic rice and eggs.

Beef tapsilog is a classic Filipino breakfast, but with Purefoods Beef Tapa, you don’t need to marinate or prepare anything ahead of time. Simply take it out of the package, cook it in a little oil until it turns golden brown, and you’re ready to serve. Whether you’re rushing to get out the door or having a slow, relaxed morning, it’s the perfect meal to start your day.

That morning, I followed the cooking instructions, and in just a few minutes, I had crispy, golden Purefoods Beef Tapa ready to go. I paired it with sinangag (made with red rice for a healthier option) and fried eggs. Together with my morning coffee, it made for the perfect breakfast. My husband and child loved waking up to the smell of it cooking. There’s something comforting about a hot plate of tapsilog that sets the right mood for the day.

A Flavorful Family Reunion: Sumptuous Breakfast Buffet at Guevarra’s

There’s something magical about the idea of a leisurely breakfast, isn’t there? It’s that comforting embrace of a hearty meal that warms both your belly and your soul, setting the perfect tone for the day ahead. And when it comes to weekends, the allure of a great breakfast spread is irresistible – a treat that turns ordinary mornings into memorable occasions.

Recently, I had the pleasure of treating my US-based kuya and nephew, as well as my family, to a special breakfast experience mere hours after the balikbayans touched down in Manila. This was more than just a meal; it was a chance to re-introduce my erstwhile Amboys to the flavors of Pinoy cuisine and, more importantly, to share precious moments together as a family, something we hadn’t enjoyed since the pandemic happened.

The Filipino Breakfast Tradition at Guevarra’s

In Filipino culture, breakfast is more than just a meal—it’s a tradition. It’s a time when families come together and share hearty, flavorful dishes. Guevarra’s by Chef Laudico understands the importance of this tradition and has curated a breakfast buffet that truly pays homage to it. Led by culinary maestros, Chefs Rolando and Jackie Laudico, Guevarra’s has become a renowned spot for a delightful breakfast buffet that captures the essence of Filipino breakfast culture.

Chef Lau, as he is affectionately known, draws inspiration from Pinoys’ love for silogs (sinangag-itlog), creating a menu that allows diners to create their personalized garlic fried rice meal with a variety of eggs and mains.

Their culinary philosophy is simple yet profound: a commitment to quality, freshness, and authenticity in every dish. No shortcuts, no artificial flavorings, and definitely no MSG. It’s this dedication to the essence of Filipino breakfast that makes Guevarra’s stand out.

The Breakfast Buffet Experience

Stepping into Guevarra’s feels like you’re being welcomed into someone’s home. The restaurant’s vintage interior combines rustic old-world charm with modern comfort, setting the perfect stage for the family’s breakfast adventure.

And what an adventure it was!

Guevarra’s breakfast buffet laid out an astonishing array of over 40 dishes, each a masterpiece in its own right. Our culinary journey began with a visit to the bread station, where local favorites like ensaymada, pan de coco, and Spanish bread await. Adding a dash of novelty to this Filipino breakfast experience are the unique pizza creations inspired by beloved ulams like tocino and tuyo.

The heart of the buffet, however, is the build-your-own silog station. Here, the diners call the shots. We started with the egg station, where we had our eggs prepared just the way we like them – perfectly scrambled with all the add-ons or runny sunny side up. Then came the exciting part – choosing our mains which include garlicky Vigan longganisa, daing na bangus, crispy danggit, and chicken pork adobo. We made it a point not to miss the star of the show, Guevarra’s signature Angus Beef Tapa, with its tantalizing smoky flavor.

But breakfast at Guevarra’s isn’t just about silogs. We also enjoyed a variety of Filipino breakfast classics, including champorado and arroz caldo. For those with a sweet tooth, the dessert table didn’t disappoint with its array of Palitaw, Sapin-Sapin, Pichi-Pichi, and more.

What’s remarkable is how everyone at our table found their favorites despite our varied tastes. My balikbayan relatives couldn’t get enough of the silogs, while my health-conscious husband and daughter appreciated the veggies and healthy options. As for me and my son, we happily indulged in the breakfast sweets.
