Pinoy Cereal Flavors that Need to be Invented

Pinoy-Cereal-Flavors-That-Need-to-be-Invented_H
Cereal is the perfect breakfast option for lazy mornings. When you don’t have time to fry eggs, tapa and garlic rice or to toast some pandesal and make a batch of hot tsokolate, grabbing a box of cereal and pouring milk into a bowl is most convenient.

What’s easier than just adding milk and not even having to wait? Only not having breakfast is, and that’s not a good start to a day for you or for your officemates (who will be experiencing your crankiness).

But why do most Pinoys still prefer silog breakfasts and other options that require more time and effort than cereal? Perhaps it’s because cereal for breakfast is not in the Filipino culture. Cereal is usually packed as baon (aka chichirya) and eaten without milk. The cereal flavors currently available in the market are also very westernized.

If there are more cereals incorporating Pinoy flavors, would you consider adopting cereal for your morning routine? This abstract idea might have gotten you cringing, but here are 8 Pinoy cereal flavors that deserve imagining.

8. Coco Jam

Coco jam on pandesal is a trusted combination for merienda. What if you can get the same joy from this combination by pouring out the contents of a box? Plus, think about the coco jam-flavored cereal milk you can drink when you’ve finished all the grain. Cocolicious!

7. Cheese-Langka

Remember your joy when Manong Sorbetero finally had this premium flavor? When incorporated into whole wheat cereal, this excellent combination of sweet, creamy, and a bit of salty doesn’t have to be a guilty pleasure. It could be a healthy breakfast option.

6. Buko Pandan

You know you’re at a Pinoy gathering when there’s buko pandan for dessert. Its creamy sauce, pandan jelly, and buko strips make very appetizing cereal selling points that can easily do well in Filipino supermarkets.

5. Cloud 9

Many of the chikiting and kids-at-heart usually flock to sari sari stores with one request: Cloud 9. It was the perfect snack to bring to school or to cheer you up after a bad day. Why does something so good have to stay a simple candy bar? Why not make it into cereal to ensure a happy breakfast everyday?

4. Yema

May it be triangle and wrapped in orange cellophane or round and wrapped in other colored materials, yema is the sweet, buttery and creamy Filipino dessert that all Pinoys know and love in whatever form. This is why yema cereal would be a no-brainer winner here in the Philippines.

3. Halo-halo

If Froot Loops worked, why wouldn’t halo-halo loops? Halo-halo is the tried and trusted combination of ube, mongo, saba or kamote, and other nice things that, when meshed together by evaporated milk, puts a smile on many sweaty Pinoy faces. Although perfect with crushed ice, this concoction could be boxed up in cereal form also, and the Filipino nation would still rejoice.

2. Puto Bumbong

You can really feel the Christmas spirit when you get a whiff and taste of the puto bumbong served in Churches after simbang gabi. It’s buttery, sticky, and sweet. The toppings of niyog and coconut sugar are good contrasts that make this pleasant experience complete. What if there’s no need to wait for simbang gabi season or to go to Via Mare for this? Someone please box up puto bumbong-flavored cereal with niyog and coconut sugar crumble!

1. Chocnut

Chocnut’s red and white pinstriped wrapper, rectangular shape and crumbly texture are all too familiar for Pinoys. It’s the ultimate Philippine childhood snack. Being loved by so many, if not all Pinoys, Chocnut has already been used to make cookies, cheesecakes, and cakes. Isn’t it about time to make it into cereal? That’s a cereal flavor that will surely get most, if not all, Pinoys going wild.
