Silog

Silog is a sort of Filipino morning food that consists of some type of meat, garlic fried rice, and a fried egg. The meal takes the name of the meat it's made with, therefore tapsilog is silog made with tapa (cured beef). Tapsilog is a combination of tapa (cured beef) and sinangag (garlic fried rice) (egg).

Tapsilog and its variants are popular breakfast dishes in the Philippines. They're often eaten for breakfast, like Malaysian nasi lemak, although they can also be enjoyed throughout the day. There are several silog variations, such as cornsilog (corned beef), bangsilog (bangus), spamsilog (SPAM), and hotsilog (hot dog), but the three most popular are tapsilog, longsilog (longganisa), and tocilog (tocino). Silog dishes, regardless of kind, are typically served with a vinegar dipping sauce.
