Silogan ni Gian
A BUDGET-FRIENDLY LUNCH THAT ALL YOUR FRIENDS CAN AGREE ON
According to some research, breakfast is the most important meal of the day, yet most people often skip it. Not only do people wake up early for work, but also students whose classes start early in the morning find it difficult to eat breakfast before rushing out the door. For those who can’t have breakfast because of such reasons, they can now have it not just at lunchtime, but 24 hours. One of the popular taglines Filipinos love to say is, “the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach.” Filipino cuisines are arguably a major part of the Philippine culture. Varieties of local goods produce delicious and mouthwatering meals.
One of the famous breakfast meals is the “silog,” which derives from the combination of sinangag, meaning garlic fried rice, and itlog, meaning egg. It is then best served with various meat add-ons like pork, longganisa, tocino, etc. that makes people call it, porksilog, longsilog, and tosilog, respectively.
