Nikki Evangelista creates a flavorful Filipino breakfast
A traditional Filipino breakfast consisting of garlic rice, fried egg, and a sweet and salty protein of choice, Silog is a portmanteau of sinangag (garlic rice) and itlog (egg). There are multiple varieties of this dish, based on the protein that comes with it. The most popular ones are Tapsilog (for tapa or cured steak), Longsilog (for longanisa, or breakfast sausage), and Tocilog (for tocino, or cured pork). A plate of Silog is usually accompanied by a bright and fresh tomato cucumber salad, a spicy vinegar dipping sauce to cut through the richness of the meat, some fresh-cut fruit, and a nice, strong cup of coffee.

I wouldn’t trade any of the moments I endured because it made me who I am and helped shape me.”
