Tapsilog

TAPSILOG is a Filipino dish that stands for the three main ingredients that is TAPa which is a fried cured beef, SInangag or fried rice and itLOG  egg in english.  There are so many SILOG combination to choose from but this is probably my most favorite among the different Silog Recipes.  Tapa is a cured beef that is thinly sliced and is marinated with soy sauce and with different other spices for at least overnight. It is so good with fried rice and sunny side up egg. This is a very filling breakfast that goes so well with hot coffee or hot choco. Others would eat this during lunch or dinner. 

When you are living in a different country, most likely you crave foods from your place. That is one of the reason why I try to learn how to cook those foods that we crave. Going to a Filipino restaurant can be expensive specially with a family of five like us. I got this recipe from Panlasang Pinoy.
