Eat, Play, Love

It's the turn of the March-celebrants to treat us for anything but food. We were invited for a breakfast buffet at Dulcinea in Eastwood, which I found out, the only branch that serves breakfast buffet. 

Compared to the other all-you-can-eat restaurants, Dulcinea has a small buffet spread, with only 4-5 breakfast food plus a fried rice and a choice of coffee or juice. Not bad for its inexpensive, reasonable price! Not to mention, what made us 'crazy' even more was the crowd's favorite churros and hot chocolate. To be honest, I lost counting the numbers of churros I downed! 

By crazy, here's what I meant: 

Since this was my idea and I was the one capturing the photos, I forgot my funky pose. But I'm sharing this anyway! 

Before I put an end to this entry, let me get this straight and clear. Through this post, I am not encouraging kids to play with your food. I just thought of this short breakfast with my family is worth sharing.

What's for Breakfast?

Having the type of family that we have, expect a monthly get-togethers, a non-stop kwentuhan at tawanan, and to top everything off, a bounty food. 

It is a rule of thumb that the celebrant, or if you're lucky you have a co-celebrant for the month, will be responsible for the food. In other words, ikaw ang taya! The best side of it, it's your call as to what to serve and how much you are willing to spend/share.

As for me and Jazel, my sister-in-law who is also a July celebrant, we made sure to celebrate our birthday with a twist. We chose a theme which we never yet have done, a home-version of breakfast buffet. 

To answer the interrogative title, just please take a look at the photo, plus a choice of orange juice, brewed coffee, a hot choco drink, a cold water, or all of the above.

Morning Fuel

I am a big fan of having breakfast after waking up in the morning. I used to skip it when I was younger, but by doing so, it just made me weak and frail and thereafter I was not able to do the tasks expected to be accomplished at the end of the day.

Breakfast is our morning fuel. It gives us the necessary energy that would sustain us throughout the day. Without it, our concentration and mood also get compromised.

That's why I supported the campaign initiated by McDonald's Philippines for having the country's very first National Breakfast Day. They gave away Egg McMuffins for the first 1,000 customers per branch. That would be close to 300,000 free McMuffins nationwide.

I am looking forward to having the same program in the future. This way, we could educate people the importance of having breakfast before a stressful day ahead. Hooray to all the people behind this drive!
