I recall going to Cebu for the first time back in the mid 1990s and enjoying my first taste of their version of danggit. Going around the country, I think theirs is still the best though Iloilo's and Roxas' danggit are also there in terms of quality. The ones we got from Damortis in La Union are often too salty for our taste. And fortunately, my suki at the Antipolo Public Market sources their danggit (as well as other dried seafood) from Cebu.

| A favorite Filipino breakfast is one with dried fish and eggs as viand. The dried fish here is danggit and dulong. Here we also have a choice of garlic fried rice or plain rice as well as eggs scrambled or sunny side up. |
The photo also shows a bottle of sinamak - vinegar with (lots of) chili and garlic mixed in. The sinamak is made by our driver, Larry, who also sells it as a sideline in their sari-sari store in Pililla.
The wife likes to have a mug of coffee with her breakfast. I usually have either hot chocolate or fruit juice (orange or apple) to drink. Regardless, we love this breakfast combination. I think the only thing missing here is the dried squid that we also source from our suking vendor. The squid is also quite crispy when cooked (fried) right and eaten almost immediately out of the pan.
