I developed the practice of regularly eating breakfast when I started working. Besides the fact that it does give me energy to last through the morning, getting up to get food for myself got me moving and helped start the waking-up process, which is a real help when you have to get up early.

Most of the time, breakfast for me usually means a bowl of cornflakes, a mug of Nesvita™ with oatmeal added for more texture, or fruit and yogurt. Sometimes I'll even dig up some leftovers from other meals (or leftover pizza, if there is any) for something different.

What do you like to eat for breakfast? Can you recommend any interesting breakfast foods or combinations thereof to help jumpstart the day?

TRIVIA: The Beatles song "Good Morning, Good Morning," which appears in their album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, was inspired by a cornflakes commercial that John Lennon saw on TV.

if i had my drothers, i'd eat crispy bacon and egg (cooked in bacon fat) everyday of the week and twice on sundays. classic american breakfast. rap-sa.

seriously, weekdays, because of severe time constraints, hanggang bowl of cereal lang ako. i get by just fine until around lunch time.

as for tips, have you tried yogurt on your fresh fruit salad?

I would like to eat breakfast at the Peninsula's Neilsen's breakfast buffet every day.

Cereal with milk or yoghurt paired with toast with butter and jam for a carbo-loaded breakfast on weekdays (substitute pan de manila pandesal on occasion). When I have time to cook, it's either Lukban longganisa with egg and rice (balsalmic vinegar on the side) or Maple Flavoured Bacon by Purefoods and egg with toast.

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I can't imagine getting going for the day without even a bit of breakfast.

On days when I'm in a hurry I usually have a boiled egg, buttered toast and coffee; quick, easy to prepare and easy to eat.

On days when I have some time I always prepare sinangag to go with whatever processed meat is available plus of course a fried egg. Our resident MD RadonC will probably roll his eyes at this rather unhealthy combination but I eat this kind of breakfast maybe three times a week max because I'm usually in a hurry. (Coming home between 4 and 5AM after a night at the singing lounge must have something to do with it...) Although I wouldn't mind a supply of Lucban longganiza coming from you Doc, heh-heh! I like my egg just a bit runny but with toasted edges, and anything that strikes my fancy from the freezer, usually hotdogs or ham. Sometimes I rummage through the cupboard for corned beef, Spam or Chinese luncheon meat. I wash it all down with coffee and OJ.

When I have no time at all to prepare anything at home I make it a point to grab something on the run, like a Sausage McMuffin and hash browns.

I've tried the all night breakfast buffet of Something Fishy a number of times and I must say its a generous enough spread for the price. I don't know who makes the silver dollar pancakes but that guy should be given a medal. The tapa, lumpiang shanghai and sauteed hotdogs aren't bad either. I do not much fancy the chicken adobo though because its not the kind of adobo I grew up loving, swimming in soya sauce broth instead of braised in its own juices. Their scrambled eggs are touch and go, sometimes just right in firmness and texture, sometimes a goopy mess. If I were them I'd have a guy manning two burners and a load of eggs for those looking for fried eggs instead of scrambled, just like the better hotel breakfast buffets.

Pedestrian goto also hits the spot, especially if its got mata ng baka. I also like the mixed congee of Luk Yuen. Speaking of congee, I miss the traditional congee with tripe of Ling Nam in Greenhills and Makati Cinema Square, and all the spring onions and toasted garlic you can dump into it.

Speaking of Chinese food, I miss the classic asado mami of Ling Nam before there was a Glorietta in Makati. I remember my late dad and I would get an early morning meal there on Saturdays, along with tennis ball sized siomai and hot lotus tea. Heaven...

haha, not really a breakfast person, but when i wake up feeling the need to eat, as in really eat, id like to wake up to tocilog, sunny side up dapat yung egg. sandwiches pwede hotdog or tuna/chicken spread. and siopao na bola bola! and yeah when i'm on the run i usually get a sausage mcmuffin and a couple of hash browns. mm-mmm..

Corned beef, bacon and sunny-side-up eggs... plus sinangag... hmmmmmmm!!!

One type of breakfast I love is the pancake / waffle combine. I love pancakes with crispy bacon, waffles with sliced meat sausages, and of course maple syrup and butter on everything. Its great washing this all down with OJ instead of the more traditional coffee, it just seems to all come together very well.

I also like fixing up a nice fluffy six-egg cheese omelette with three different kinds of shredded cheese, kahit Quikmelt Cheesefood lang ang isa. Speaking of omelette I also like the traditional Pinoy version of scrambled eggs with sauted small tomato dice, sliced shallots and a bit of minced garlic to go with my sinangag.

Kahit anong ulam-Pinoy, eggs, 3 cups of sinangag, iced-tea at dalawang yosi, tatlong 500mg ng ascorbic acid and isang multivitamins! Panalo!

Rice + pork & beans + eggs

garlic rice + sunny side up + hotdog + hotchoco = SOLVE!!
