Gising Gising
If there is a Filipino food that I haven’t tried is one of them but that will change soon as I will be making this dish today. Gising Gising if literally translated means “Wake up – Wake up” and from the name alone you will have a hint that this dish would be spicy. I am not sure how old this dish or what the recipe is but recently I’ve seen a surge of Gising gising posts so I am tempted to make some and fix that curiosity. Choosing a recipe online is a bit hard as there are a lot of choices but luckily I saw a recipe from a blogger friend and after discovering her page I never looked for another recipe as I know that would be good. So here it is adapted from The Peach Kitchen, Thanks Peachkins!

With those red chillies, I can see this dish keeping anyone up (and clearing some nasal passages in the process) for pretty much half of the day 😀 these things go great with rice!
Here in Manila, the popular gising-gising is from Recipes by Cafe Metro.
Whoa, Now THERE’s a firey breakfast to put a rocket under you first thing in the morning… definely not hitting the snooze button after eating this one LOL.
Personally it looks less like “wake up wake up” and more like “rocket fuel for an entire day” 🙂
