Breakfast, Ilonggo vs. French

Check this out:

Breakfast at Bacolod Chicken Inasal: one HUGE cup of fried rice, adobo flakes, fried egg and a cup of molo soup (not much meat in it, though, but plenty of molo strips.) All for P89. Throw in bottomless brewed coffee at P35. Morning paper (PDI and Philstar), priceless.


There was so much food on my plate, I couldn't finish the damn thing.

Quite a break from my usual breakfast fare at Delifrance. (I don't pay. Andolini does. Freeloader here.) Breakfast trays start at P160 (bread and omelet, no drinks), and can go for as much as P220. The most expensive tray, Deluxe, has two sausages, two slices of ham, a strip of bacon, scrambled eggs, a croissant or ciabatta, butter, jelly, orange juice (they say it's fresh, I say it's fresh from the bottle, at any rate it's better than all-sugar Tang), a cup of coffee and a flower in a small glass.

Sorry, no pic. (Shoot me, been eating there practically everyday and I never took a pic.) Pretty to look at, yes. Filling, too. But goddamned expensive. Again, I don't pay. I don't hear Andolini complaining, but I have to at least volunteer a less expensive place to chow, right?

And at BCI, we don't have to put up with missing sections of the PDI like we do in Delifrance.
