Can anyone suggest a perfect merienda for rainy days? We want something different from the traditional soupy merienda like lugaw, etc.

During rainy days, the common comfort food for Filipinos are mostly soupy like arroz caldo, batchoy, ginataan.. For the not-so soupy, you have the turon, fruits in condensed milk, kakanin - puto, palitaw, ube matched with hot chocolate.

Duirng rainy season, my family loves champorado but with a twist which you might be interested in trying, too! Instead of the usual malagkit rice and cocoa powder, we use a mixture of malagkit and black rice. We also use tablea balls and coconut milk. :)

Maja blanca sounds nice. In our home, we used to make maja with ginataan-like sauce. Oh, it's so heavenly it's making me drool right now.
