Our breakfast every single day for 7 years
Kaya toast set at Toastbox: Coffee with condensed milk, toast with butter and coco jam, two soft-boiled eggs. Their service has improved.

Every single morning from prep to sixth grade. Our mother was a firm believer in protein. 22 school days a month, 220 school days a year for 7 years: that’s 1,540 egg and milk breakfasts, enough eggs for a lifetime. The second we started high school we not only gave up soft-boiled eggs, we rejected breakfast altogether.
Recently we noticed that whenever we do have breakfast it includes eggs. Can’t fight early programming. Yesterday Ige took us to breakfast at Benny’s at Rustan’s supermarket. The Eggs Benedict is not bad at Php265, and they have a wide breakfast selection. We prefer the restaurant’s old name, though: Yum Yum Tree.

I’m a tricky egg eater.
Pag sunny side up, dapat well done yung yolk, pag boiled & eggs benedict, dapat runny yoke, pag scrambled medium well hahaha. Parang steak!
Bipolar lang ang peg.

The Eggs Benedict at Italianni’s are also good.
With fried eggs, I prefer them malasado – wet, has oil drippings, slightly crusted edges, perfect for sopping up the yolk with bread…something about white bread – yes, they’re unhealthy, we all know – being the perfect blank canvass to enjoy that canary moistness. Wheat bread just doesn’t have the same effect, no apologies.
Breakfast, definitely the most important meal for me. I must try Benny’s (formerly Yum Yum Tree) since I have passed by it for work for the last…since 2003 and I have not yet been inside. A tragedy that I should rectify within the year.

I am not an egg person. They’re just kind of… there, as an additional source of protein for me. I have yet to taste an egg that sends me into paroxysms of pleasure.
