American Breakfast vs Filipino Breakfast
We’ve heard of dishes like Adobo Sinigang and Kare Kare among many others that are commonly served in Filipino households with rice for lunch or dinner. But what exactly does a typical Filipino breakfast consist of? Here’s a list that will definitely make you feel like a local in Manila – and give you the much-needed energy to start your day.
Filipinos love their silog breakfast and no one can deny that it should be at the top of the list at any time of the day. The name is derived from two Filipino words sinangag or ‘fried’ and itlog or ‘egg’. Silog meals consist of fried garlic rice egg and basically anything else you want to add to your meal. Sometimes atchara (pickled unripe papaya) or diced tomatoes with salt are added to complete the dish.
And there are many variations. There is the all-time favorite: Tapsilog for tapa (a type of dried or salted beef sometimes pork or chicken) the Longsilog for longganisa (Filipino sausage) Cornsilog for corned beef Spamsilog for Spam Hotsilog for hot dog Tocilog for tocino (Filipino-style salted meat usually pork) Bangsilog for bangus (milkfish) and Sisilog for sisig (a sizzling Filipino dish usually made with parts of a pig's head).
