Pinoy Street Food: The Si-Log Family



Photos below are some of the more famous members of the Si-Log family, a viable part of Pinoy street foods. Commonly found at hole-in-the-wall establishments, but at the moment, more and more classy restaurants are offering them, some even have them as specialties, does Tapa King ring a bell?


I love eating sinangag (fried rice) and pritong itlog (fried egg) during breakfast, give me some tocino or longganisa (Filipino-style sausage) and I'm in heaven.

  1. That's interesting! I'd like to try the sausage. I've never thought of having fried eggs with rice... looks like it's common there though! Now I'm hungry!
