Chicken Mami

This Chicken Mami is light, nutritious, and has been our comfort in a bowl during the rainy weather.

We were, yet again, blessed with a rainy weather yesterday and this morning. It was wet, cold, and the demands for cuddles here at home were high. Classes were cancelled at around 8am, so Ykaie was at home too. There were three people waiting for warm hugs and cuddles. But I needed to warm their tummies first — So I thought it would be nice to have Chicken Mami for lunch.

Chicken Mami is the Filipino version of Chicken Noodle Soup. It’s a light noodle soup packed with flavor and all you needed on a cold, rainy day.

What’s special about THIS Chicken Mami is that aside from using chicken bones to make the soup, I added some pork calf bone (pork biyas) which has marrow, making this both tasty and nutritious.

I’m gonna miss the cuddles and hugs tomorrow. Good thing I still have one bowl of this left for me to consume tomorrow when peanutbutter♥ goes to his first day of work, Ykaie to school, and Twinkle to sleep.

What’s your favorite thing to eat when it’s raining outside?
