Tapsilog

โ€œAlmusal naman ang pag usapan natinโ€ (Letโ€™s talk about breakfast). There is nothing like a hot Tapsilog to start-up my day. This was what I had for breakfast this morning. I can still remember the flavor of the tender homemade beef tapa and the aroma of the sinangag. In fact, I can still smell the garlic till now (oops, forgot to brush).

This meal needs no introduction since most of us might be familiar with it. But, let me provide a little description for the benefit of our non-Filipino readers. Tapsilog is a slang (which later became an accepted name) for a meal consisting of tapa (cured beef similar to beef jerky), sinangag (garlic fried rice), and pritong itlog (fried egg).

โ€œKuya, where is the cooking video?โ€ Sorry guys, there is no video for this post. My beautiful wife prepared this delicious meal for me. In fact, the meal was already served when I woke-up this morning. Donโ€™t worry; Iโ€™ll try to convince her to do some cooking videos in the future โ€“ but Iโ€™ll need your help on that.

Also, this category which I call โ€œWhatโ€™s cookingโ€ is all about the simple foods that we have everyday. Videos are not necessary for this category given that most of the featured items are simple to prepare; some might already have their own post or video (like the beef tapa and sinangag). But if you really insist, I can put a video of myself singing Frank Sinatraโ€™s My Way (just donโ€™t stab me or anything). Seriously, you can always shoot me an email or post your questions anytime.

The best tapsilog that I had is quite uncommon. Instead of beef, horse meat or โ€œtapang kabayoโ€ is served along with sinangag and fried egg. There is a stretch of tapsihan in Don Galo, Paranaque that only serves this special tapsilog. My favorite tapsihan in that area is called Matyโ€™s (Iโ€™m not sure if it is still in business though).

How about you? Can you recommend a place that serves good tapsilog?

    Try May-May’s Tapsi, and for sure, it will be your new Best Tapsi In Town. Their Chiksilog is good too..
