AlTangHap: Tapsilog
Last Friday night I was out with friends and was at home by 4am in the morning by the time I was set off to bed it was already almost 5am uhg… I woke around 4pm in the afternoon ugh… [I have wasted my whole Saturday just by lying on the bed for the whole afternoon, I hate it!]
I always want to be productive! Hear that? Lols… So I decide to cook for myself an AlTangHap (Almusal-Tanghalian-Hapunan) It’s breakfast-lunch-dinner in one.
Brunch: Longsilog
Filipinos traditionally eat three main meals a day - almusal (breakfast), tanghalian (lunch), and hapunan (dinner) plus an afternoon snack called (merienda). Basically Filipinos love food and eating! [Right Demi?] And believe me every meal there should be rice. A meal with no rice is no meal with the Filipinos! (They even eat rice during midnight snacks no! Hehehehe… Now isn’t that a hard core?)
Yesterday I decided to cook my last brunch in DC and it is lonsilog (longanisa, fried eggs and fried rice with a side of green beans and mayo) Nothing special! I just miss eating this very traditional Filipino breakfast! (It’s been awhile since my body had a dose of MSG no!)
Brunch: Tapsilog
Today, I have decided to cook Tapsilog (dried beef fried to perfection hehehe arte ko!, serve with garlic fried rice and fried eggs) for brunch. I miss eating the silog’s hehehe, ohhhh wait I think something is missing here! That atchara (pickled papaya) and that sabaw (broth) to really complete this meal.
Usually a tapsilog is eaten during breakfast. But for me I eat it for dinner, midnight snack I even substitute it for my dessert! I eat it at any given time! *Aba walang pakialamanan, buhay ko to noh!*
