Comfort food in a mug or a cup for the rainy season

We featured our favorite comfort food in a bowl a month ago. Since it’s that time of the year again that rain is frequently pouring and the good feeling to cuddle with your blanket, stay home if you could, watch your favorite movie or curl with a good book and hold your most favorite hot comfort food in a mug or a cup.

Comfort food in a mug or a cup for the rainy season

Sikwate or Sikwati (hot chocolate) is very common here in Cebu. It is made from melting pure and raw chocolate tablets called tabliya. An option to add milk and sugar, Sikwate is closest to drinking dark chocolates in a liquid form.

It is best paired with budbud pilit (glutinous rice cake), puto maya (steamed glutinous rice flavored with coconut milk and ginger) and ripe mangoes.

Famous YouTube vlogger, Kyle Jennermann (a.k.a Kulas of #BecomingFilipino) featured the famous drink with his favorite pairing, buwad (dried seafood: fish or squid), suka (vinegar) and sili (chili). Watch the video below:

Super apir, Kulas!

Coffee or Tea

I am guessing it’s everyone’s hot drink: coffee. But if you don’t like the rush of caffeine, tea is an alternative. Not the cup you are getting from high-end shops (but they are good, too), coffee made from home is already a hit for the rainy season.

Tea in a bag is also good with different kinds of flavors like honey and lemon, earl gray or green tea can warm you up this cold weather.
