Champorado from Davao

I love champorado or chocolate porridge. We usually have the instant variety at home. The usual boxes you can buy from the supermarket at Maya and White King. If we're lucky there's the Antonio Pueo brand, which I thought is better that the other two I mentioned, and is probably the best instant champorado if available. There is also Galinco, which is perhaps a notch higher if not the same with Maya and White King. All others that we found at local supermarkets that we've tried are not so good.

Cacao de Davao's premium champorado

Details on the back of the packaging. The price is also indicated - 150 pesos. I'm not sure about the text on "healthy champorado". Of course, consumption should be in moderation.

Benefits of cacao - not mentioned is its association with chocolates the excessive consumption of which may lead to high blood sugar and diabetes

Of course, the best chocolate porridge is made from scratch. You get the best rice and the best cacao to make The best cacao may be sourced from Mindanao but there are excellent cacao from the Visayas and Southern Tagalog in Luzon. You can get excellent tablea (cacao tablets) from these places and others for your porridge or other chocolate fix.
