Breakfast Jolly Sandwiches: Pancake Sandwich

My body clock has been nocturnal, lately. It gets that way sometimes. I try alarm clocks, make sure to get out and catch some sun so that my body is reminded that daytime exists, but sometimes it just doesn't work.

That's unfortunate, when my favorite meal is breakfast.

It's just the sorts of food that people have collectively agreed are for that time of the day, usually. I can't even say so much that it's because they're sweet or salty or starchy or whatever. They make the dawn break in my tummy. So, when I'm up early enough--or stay up late enough that it's early--then I like to go out and have breakfast.

Or I make my own.

But there's a lot of people out there that just make better food than I do and--


--Jollibee is one of them. There's their poster for Breakfast Jolly Sandwiches, a breakfast burger yum (or is that a sausage?) with bacon and egg, for Php. 70 (with a drink) and a pancake sandwich for Php. 60 (with a drink, Php. 50 solo order.)

Pancake sandwiches are intriguing. So, I had that.


Look at the size of that thing.

It's tiny. Like, four bites.

A pancake is actually a regional thing. These golden-brown American pancakes are known in England as drop scones or pikelets and tend to be smaller. I'd say that this is a pikelet sandwich. What English people call pancakes, too, I would call a fried eggy crepe--or, "that's what I made by accident when trying to make American pancakes but greased the pan too much".

The bacon and eggs are welded to the center of the pikelets with melted cheese. I do like cheese. A pity that the egg was overdone, but then again overcooking eggs is just safer if you're running a restaurant.

Overall, interesting concept, but I think I'd rather make this myself from now on.
