Tapsilog

Tapsilog is the term used when tapa, fried rice (“sinangag”), and fried egg (“itlog”) are combined into one meal, which is served primarily during breakfast. In Tagalog, a restaurant that primarily serves tapa is called a tapsihan. According to some sources, “tapsilog” and “tapsihan” are slang words. However, these terms are used by those restaurants and many Filipinos of all social strata. Tapsilog and tapsihan, therefore, may be considered standard words in the Filipino language and not slang.
The word tapsilog has spawned many copycat dishes, all having fried rice (or garlic fried rice) and fried egg in it and suffixed with silog. Examples are:
Tosilog – tocino,fried rice and fried egg
Longsilog – longganisa,fried rice and fried egg
Cornsilog – corned beef,fried rice and fried egg
Hotsilog – hotdog,sinangag,itlog
Bangsilog – bangus(milkfish),fried rice and fried egg
