Silog

Silog refers to a group of Filipino dishes that are traditionally served for breakfast. The name is an abbreviation for sinangang at itlog, meaning fried garlic rice and eggs. The difference between each of these dishes is in the additional component that's served with the garlic rice and eggs, such as tapa (sliced meat), longganisa sausages, tocino bacon, bangus milkfish belly, chorizo, hot dogs, pork chops, Spam, fried chicken, or beefsteak, among others. It is believed that the first type of silog was tapsilog, invented in the 1980s in Marikina City. These breakfast items are so popular that they can nowadays be found in fast food chains, hotels, and restaurants.
