Breakfast in Manila.

One day, me and my girlfriend Dylan were trying to figure out a place to eat where she brought up this point where for her, breakfast food tastes better when it's eaten at non-breakfast hours. And true enough, we booked it to the nearest all-day breakfast place we could find.

While other parts of the world have their own spins on breakfast, I'll always be more partial to a generous amount of tapa, tocino, or adobo flakes paired up with a steaming serving of garlic rice because whenever I come around to having breakfast, it's either too early to think about things like carbs and counting calories, or it's too late to even care. 

So here are a few places around Manila that I think do breakfast food well. Some old favorites, and some relatively new players too. I won't say anything about how each place fares, because I don't keep a food blog. What I'm delighted to concede is that these places serve all-day (with some going 24 hours), because breakfast is and will always be the most important meal of the day, no matter what time you come around to having it.
