We’ve heard it a thousand times: Don’t skip breakfast.
And there are good reasons for why we should always make room for the most important meal of the day. For one, breaking the fast jumpstarts the body metabolism which, in turn, helps burn more calories.
Studies show that people who often skip breakfast tend to have a higher body mass index (BMI). This is because when a person skips eating a meal in the morning, the body conserves rather than burn the calories.
Several studies found different benefits of eating breakfast to start your day. Aside from having a lower BMI, people who eat breakfast tend to consume less fat and have high calcium and fiber intake. They also meet the recommended fruit and vegetable consumption, and avoid unhealthy snacks.
With a full tummy early in the morning means having better performance throughout the day. It is also easy to manage weight, meaning less likely to be overweight.
Eating breakfast doesn’t mean eating just anything. It also entails making good breakfast choices, not to mention it should be sumptuous.
Guevarra’s by Chef Rolando Laudico offers breakfast buffet that will have anyone scrambling out of their bed.
Available every Sunday from 7:30 to 10:00 a.m., the breakfast buffet features a spread of Filipino all-time breakfast favorites, including silogs.
“My inspiration for our breakfast buffet is based on Pinoys’ love for silogs (sinangag-itlog) so you can pretty much create your own garlic sinangag rice with any style of eggs and mains,” describes Chef Laudico, popularly known as Chef Lau. He heads the Guevarra’s kitchen together with his wife, Chef Jackie.
Choices for the silog mains include: the garlicky Vigan longganisa, daing na bangus, crispy Danggit, and chicken pork adobo, plus the typical morning mainstays – hotdog, bacon, and corned beef.
Angus beef tapa, the house specialty, is also part of the buffet offerings. Be sure to be an early bird for this best-seller because the queue can get crowded in this part of the buffet.
“Our Angus Beef Tapa takes a long time to prepare. We first marinate it, then it’s oven-dried and finished on the grill to give that distinctive smoky flavor,” discloses Chef Lau.
To complete your silog, head to the egg station where you can have your eggs any which way you want – scrambled, omelette, sunny-side up and what have you.
But of course, Guevarra’s buffet offers much more than just silogs. They have a bread corner piled with ensaymada, pan de coco, Spanish bread, along with various pizzas with uniquely-inspired local flavors such as tocino and tuyo, to name a few.
The salad section, meanwhile, have enticing options like ensaladang talong with salted egg, macaroni salad, and potato salad, among others.
There are also the breakfast staples such as champorado, arroz caldo, waffles, pancakes, cereals, and yogurt, among others. There should always be a room for desserts with a medley of popular kakanin such as the palitaw, sapin-sapin, pichi-pichi, and others.
Guevarra’s breakfast buffet has roughly 40 dishes, more than enough to satisfy all your cravings and power you through the day. At P499 net per person, it is an excellent deal.
“Everything is prepared from scratch using the freshest and best ingredients. No shortcuts, no artificial flavorings, and no MSG,” guarantees Chef Jac who shares that lunch and dinner buffet are also available daily at P699 net per person.
