9 places to have delicious breakfast after Simbang Gabi
Misa de Gallo — waking up at the crack of dawn to hear mass for nine days straight — might be the most defining thing about Filipino Christmas.
And while piping hot bibingka and puto bumbong being sold outside church are choice breakfast offerings this holiday season, we went ahead and listed down spots that will be open by the time you say “Amen.”
Please note that store hours are subject to change without prior notice. We recommend calling ahead to book a table or inquire about reservations.

Manam is definitely malinamnam any time of the day, but imagine a hefty serving of Super Arroz Caldo (P265 for medium) or a steaming plate of Sugar-glazed Corned Beef Belly Silog (P295 for small) first thing in the morning? Ahhh. Finish off with an order of Bibingkang Galapong of Salted Duck Egg (P255 for large) and this is in the running for best breakfast of your life.
