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!*
