TWITTER: I used to do this when I was a kid.

Champorado + powder milk = imagination.

Kunwari volcano :) #rainyweatherfood #childhoodmemories

I previously made a post on White King Champorado mix, and how Sofi enjoyed it.  Last Saturday, we passed by the champorado mix stall again, and Sofi said she wanted one.  The cold weather bug must have gotten into her.  This afternoon since classes were suspended (again!) we included in our itinerary cooking Champorado.  This time we added Bear Brand Powder milk.  Yep! suddenly the memory of my childhood days came back.  I remember waiting for mama's champorado on a rainy weather.  Sometimes it's evaporated milk but the powdered milk activates my creative imagination more.  I pretend it's a volcano.  I dig a hole in my bowl then dump two spoonfuls of powdered milk.  I hate it when the powder gets eaten by the chocolate porridge.  It means daydreaming should stop and eating time should begin.  So I eat it as fast as I can so I can ask for another bowl of Champorado and start making a new volcano.  Ahh! childhood memories.

At first Sofi didn't like seeing the powder milk.  She mixed the champorado as soon as she got her bowl.  At my second bowl,

Sofi : Mommy, can I taste your milk?

Mommy: why don't you try eating the powdered milk with Champorado.  -- She obliged, then she smiled. -- 

Mommy: Do you want to trade bowls? 

Sofi : YES!

Champorado

Is this my favorite?

Because Sofi is such a picky eater, anything new to her should answer YES to the above question. I remember giving her champorado when she was small but I don't remember her asking for more. She'd eat a few spoonfuls, and then that's it. Yesterday, we happen to chance upon a free taste champorado in SM Hypermarket. She insisted that we go and get one. At first I told her to wait while I get some stuff but she was really nagging me to get her. When I finally got one (it was hot!) she was asking me to go back and get the product already. I was surprised because she hasn't even tasted it yet she was already telling me to buy it. Wen she finished her champorado, I went back to the stand and got her request plus another cup of free taste. She was even telling me to cook it as soon as we get home. Of course I did not. She had it for merienda though. Product: White King Champ-O-Rado Content: 2 packs of 113g uncooked champorado Verdict: of course, it's not Nanay's champorado but if you want instant champorado without buying malagkit, then this will do.
