"LIEMPOSILOG"- a new and best SILOG ever!




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.
