Tapsilog is one of the most popular dishes
that usually serve in the morning. It is a combination of beef (TAP -“tapa”),
fried rice (SI-“sinangag”) and egg (Log- “itlog”). Tapsilog are slang words. However, these terms are used by those restaurants and many
Filipinos of all social strata. Tapsilog
therefore, may be considered standard words in the Filipino language and
not slang. The word tapsilog has spawned many other dishes, all
having fried rice (or garlic fried rice) and fried egg in it and suffixed with silog. One of the best examples
of that is “LIEMPOSILOG”. Liemposilog is a combination of liempo, fried rice
and egg. Pork liempo is one of the Filipino's favorites. Liempo is a pork
belly, marinated with soy sauce, vinegar, onion, garlic and dashes
of black pepper, chilli pepper and turmeric powder. Then
grill it to cook and presto! You have already your grilled liempo or also known
as “inihaw na liempo”. There is nothing like a hot “liemposilog” to start-up-my day. It is new to hear and new to my taste buds but this
combination is perfectly delicious.
