Breakfast “Hawaiian Style”
Have you ever had rice for breakfast? If you’re of Asian descent, the answer would be a resounding YES! Add, “yeah, what kind of a question is that?! Of course I have had rice for breakfast! Lots of times…” Ok, pardon the question but living in America, I am still getting baffled looks from Westerners who think I’m strange and some kind of a weirdo for eating my bacon, sausage or eggs with RICE for breakfast! They can’t imagine it!!
Well, we Filipinos are huge rice eaters! In the Philippines, we would eat rice in every meal! Even eat rice with anything “fried” as midnight snack! I can not survive without rice. I go crazy when I go without rice for a couple of days! If our house burns down, I swear I’d save my laptop, digital camera and my rice cooker!
Spam, Rice and eggs + Coffee = $6.99

I have never, ever seen rice being served anywhere for breakfast (or anytime) in the US- unless it is an Asian fast food or restaurant. Imagine my surprise and joy to find out that rice is almost like a staple in Hawaii!! Everywhere we went, you could order rice!! It wasn’t a special order or anything, it was part of the menu! Rice at Mcdonald’s, seriously what a treat!!

If you’ve never had rice for breakfast, try it sometime! You’ll see we breakfast rice-eaters aren’t so strange or weird after all…

twice every year.

I am a big rice fan but never had it for breakfast…Interesting choices for the theme here, I enjoyed your pictures. Have a lovely weekend!
I LOVE rice, and have not problem eating it for breakfast or any other time of day. Great pics for the theme!
My Photo hunt entry is here
Thank you for stopping by!
You’re right – rice isn’t considered a breakfast food in the U.S. I do like my rice, left over from a takeout dinner, with cinnamon, sugar, raisins, and milk for breakfast the next day.
Stop by my Photo Hunt if you have time.

Oh, no! Not SPAM! Heeheehee!
Every so often, if we have leftover rice from the night before, my hubs and I will reheat it and have it with butter and over-easy eggs for breakfast. And we’re not Asian. It’s good, I tell ya!
Stop by and visit if you get the chance:

i love rice and we do have rice for breakfast, but it is because both me and my hubby are from rice-eating countries
hihihi. Like you, I can not live without rice, and my problem sometime in traveling to very remote areas especially not in California, is to live without rice for several days 
Hey fellow rice eater, thanks for stopping by! LOL. Would you believe, in our 3-week road trip from Massachusetts all the way to Florida (stopping over Giorgia, South Carolina, Orlando, Keywest, Ft. Lauderdale and back to MA via Virginia Beach, Baltimore, Washington DC and New York, we brought along our rice cooker! We were cooking Rice in hotels and inns and we didn’t care! That’s how hard-core I am when it comes to rice eating!
Thanks for stopping over. I enjoyed visiting your site and showing me some parts of California I’ve never been.
