It’s safe to say that with a Thai and Filipino upbringing, my childhood was delicious. My Thai mother cooked breakfast for us most days, but I still remember when my Filipino grandma cooked breakfast for us the first time. She introduced us to Filipino breakfast meats like Longanisa and Tocino and it blew my little six-year-old mind. The blends of savory, tangy, and sweet ingredients danced on my tastebuds and though I didn’t understand garlic fried rice at the time (my older sister inhaled it), the fried egg mixed in coated it with a flavor I could get behind—a runny yolk. Much like most people that grow up first generation American, I just ate whatever was on the table and didn’t learn until much later that this was an actual dish with a name: longsilog.
Naturally, I had to recreate this adapted with ingredients that I understand well—plush. This print is perfect to hang up in your kitchen or dining room and inspire breakfasts that leave your tummies warm and your breath a little stinky.

Am I buying the plush? What would I do with that?
This listing is for an art print, so you don’t need to worry about the perfect hook to hang your plush up. All you need is a nice frame and a good sense of humor.
Is it really plush? Or is this an AI generated image?
Yes! Everything on the plate (minus the banana ketchup) is made of plush. I used fleece and hand embroidery to create the longanisa, flannel for the egg, and sherpa and fried garlic shaped beads (yes, I really did ask the lady at Bohemian Crystal in DTLA for “fried garlic shaped beads”) to create the garlic fried rice. No AI used here, just my hands and my friend, Rafael’s insane photography skills.
What does the text say?
Don’t worry, I don’t speak Tagalog either. I had to enlist the help of my dad and cousin for this one because it felt like the only way to authentically create this piece—delightful but also a little distant and mysterious. So, if you’re like me and like it, but don’t understand it, translation is below:
Start your day right
Rice is an important part of every meal because, is it even a meal without rice?
