It's Silog time....Tinapasilog!

   TINAPANG PIKE MACKAREL , FRIED RICE, FRIED EGG
 
 Time for that breakfast you've been craving for. Why not treat yourself to a Silog fare again this time?
 Have some Tinapasilog! Tinapasilog is Tinapa (Smoked Fish), Sinangag (Fried Rice) and Itlog (Egg).
 Tinapa is a FIlipino term for fish preserved or cooked through the process of smoking them. The most
common Tinapa is bangus or milkfish. Here in the States, we usually see Tinapang Pike Mackerel or rounds cad  as alternative to milkfish. Tinapa is usually served with onion and tomatoes on the side and garlic flavored vinegar dipping sauce. Making tinapa involves a two-stage process-- brining and smoking. The brining part gives the fish a good salty taste and it also makes it moist. The smoking part cooks the fish that gives it the smoky flavor.

Adobo Flakes

  ADOBO FLAKES

If you don't feel eating the traditional adobo with sauce then this might just be right for you. This is one of the variations of ADOBO, serving it in flakes.  This is perfect with hot pandesal or mix with rice to make adobo fried rice.

Your Monday breakfast idea this week: Longsilog

Silogs are popular breakfast fare in the Philippines. There are a whole slew of silogs--- anything that you can combine with Sinangag (Fried rice) and Itlog (egg) makes up for silog meals. 


The most commonly seen silog meals are Tapsilog, whose main meat ingredient is tapa (beef jerky);  Tocilog's main meat ingredient is tocino (sweet cured meat); and Longsilog's main meat ingredient is Longaniza (Filipino version of sausage). These silogs are usually paired with spicy vinegar as dip. So, for your Monday breakfast idea this week, why not have Longsilog? Happy Monday everyone!

Tuyosilog: when did you last have it?

We have a  Pinterest page and in one of our boards, we have pins that are specifically for breakfasts which we named "Your Monday Breakfast ideas". We are pinning breakfast ideas every Monday so that you can plan your breakfast meals for the whole week. 


But we just couldn't wait till Monday to post this breakfast favorite of ours which is perfect for your meatless Friday : Tuyosilog! Tuyosilog is short for Tuyo (Dried salted fish), singangag (fried rice) and itlog (Egg).

I've never had tuyo in a long while so when I saw this at The Hut (inside Island Pacific Panorama City) I didn't think twice about ordering it. It was cooked well and crispy, the saltiness is just about right especially when you dip it in spiced vinegar-- the saltiness wears off. I have enough energy to last me the whole day, thanks to this power Filipino breakfast!
