Champorado

by admin | August 23, 2008 | In Foods No Comments

Way back when I was I kid, I am always excited when the rainy season comes. From June until August, or even until December if there are storms and low-pressure areas, rain is always anticipated in the Philippines . As a child, I always consider rain as a blessing because that gives me a reason to ask my mom to cook “champorado” for me. Champorado is a chocolate rice porridge that’s sure to give a gastronomic satisfaction during the rainy days. And nothing really beats my mom’s champorado for it is made of native, home-made and rich cocoa that only our family knows how to make. It’s a family secret that has been kept for generations.
