What's for Pamahaw?



As a main meal, pamahaw means almusal or breakfast. While non-native Hiligaynon speakers might be confused, Ilonggos associate the use with just thr right timing and the actual food eaten.




The typical Ilonggo pamahaw would usual consist of dried seafood like tabagak (tuyo), balingon (dilis) or pinakas (sundried and salted daing) plus egg and rice. 



Processed meats like choriso (longganisa), tapa and tocino also form part of the 1st meal of the day. 

So, what's your typical pamahaw
