Saturday PhotoHunt: Breakfast
This is the first for me to actually join tnchick.com’s PhotoHunt series for bloggers who has taken on photography be it as a hobby or profession.
A theme is given each week and those who want to join would simply post a photo on their blog representing that chosen theme. Of course, much link-love goes around among those who have joined.
This week’s theme is breakfast!
I love tofu! It reminds me of everything that’s inside my blood. Asia: my Chinese ancestry, my Filipino heritage, its people and cultural awesomeness! Every time my parents prepare tofu be it mixed in with a dish or on its own, I never fail to help my self to no less than two blocks’ worth of this wonderful coagulation of soybean milk.
Stir-fried with mixed vegetables has been a favorite variety of tofu in our family. But in Sunday mornings, which is also family day in our household, tofu is prepared as part of breakfast as stand-alone dish enjoyed the Filipino way, deep-fried until golden-brown and its outer skin a tender crisp.
Served with my father’s very own secret blend of vinegar, soy sauce and other spices, it quickly runs out for those who are too lazy to get up on a Sunday morning. This tofu dish is accompanied by my mother’s arroz caldo*.
Ah yes, the glory and bliss of sharing a simple yet wonderful breakfast with your family. All thanks to the humble yet awesome, tofu.

I just pointed to her post about arroz caldo for reference.

Thanks for the reminder. Though I’m already aware of this through my biology classes, it’s a good thing for the other readers to know.
Careful though. That stuff’s rich in estrogen. Eat too much, and you’d have man-boobs in no time, just like Dingdong!!
Tofu for breakfast is something new to me. I have to agree it’s best eaten w/ arroz caldo.
That’s interesting and I’m sure masarap but vinegar for breakfast isn’t for me..Nice photo though!
@ian – Thanks! I’m going to make it a point to join PhotoHunt every week.
@julie – Out in the street it’s called “goto na may kasamang tokwa’t baboy”
@Connie – LOL I do look like Chinese, especially with my glasses removed.
@TiOheM – Thanks, I’ll be looking forward to the upcoming PhotoHunt posts.
That’s a healthy food for breakfast.
Welcome to PhotoHunt.
“…is not my mother…” LOL But if you look Chinese, we can pass off as relatives hehehe

Tofu for breakfast? That’s a bit unique for breakfast, at least for me. But served with arroz caldo, I can have that any time of the day
Hurray for Connie and her recipes
