Pinoy’s Favorite Breakfast: Famous Silog

Tapsilog

Tapsilog is the most ordered among silog items. Tap is the abbreviation of the word tapa, a beef or pork that is marinated with salt and other spices before dried out in the sun. The meal is best served with native vinegar. Here’s our homemade beef tapa recipe and/or pork tapsilog recipe if you’re interested.

Longsilog

Longsilog is another breakfast combo that is favored by the Pinoys. Long refers to longganisa, a type of sausage made from ground pork and other spices added with curing salt as preservative and sodium phosphate as the emulsifier.

Tocilog

The “to” in the word tosilog stands for tocino, which means “cured meat” in Spanish. Its cuts are from pork belly, mixed with special ingredients for 2 to 3 hours before marinating overnight to achieve that soft, sweet delicious taste perfect with fried rice and fried eggs.
