My mom got a craving for champorado during her recent chemotherapy sessions. Champorado is a chocolate rice pudding from Spanish influence, topped with condensed milk and usually paired with "tuyo" or dried, salty fish. What makes champorado perfect for chemo patients like my mom is that it's sweet, hearty and warm to the stomach. It soothes the throat and isn't as heavy as a meal of rice and viand. Try out this recipe and other Filipino dishes from workwithray.net. Have a hearty day! :)
