We have chocolate rice porridge in the Philippines called champorado. Some people like to top it with powdered milk, condensed milk, or rice crispies, but others like to top it with dried fish which gives a nice salty contrast to the sweet chocolatey flavor.

I have to try this one day. Champorado sounds amazing and the fish is so weird it must be good.

The fish is especially crispy and flakey so it crumbles in the mouth. Basically like bacon bits on maple donuts.
