Need a quick fix at the airport? Next time you are in Kalibo Airport on the way to beautiful Boracay or other parts of Aklan, make sure to try the Congee Experience.

Congee is a type of rice porridge that is a popular breakfast, and even merienda meal for Filipinos. There’s no denying that it is very delicious but what’s better than delicious? It is definitely better when it is healthy. And that made the Congee Experience in Kalibo special.

Instead of the typical white rice used in cooking congee, the Congee Experience is made of black rice, a kind of sticky rice that contains amino acids, vitamins and minerals, and is very high in nutritional value. Black rice is claimed to be good for the kidney, stomach and liver. 

Other ingredients of this congee includes: native chicken, tofu, and various vegetables to complete this delicious meal. It only costs 75php for a bowl. 

Next time you are too early for a flight or, well, your flight is simply delayed, treat yourself with this yummy goodness to make the challenging wait worthwhile.
