6-11-2015 Food of the Day: Silog

Why is it that a simple breakfast meat gets elevated to become a Pinoy classic combination by just adding some Garlic fried rice or sinangag, and some eggs? We call it "Silog" which is short for sinangag and itlog (eggs). I got so addicted to the different versions of silog when I studied college in Manila. My favorite silogan there was Rodic's at the UP Shopping Center in Diliman.  I really love their tapsilog.  In other days, I get chosilog (chorizo, sinangag, itlog), hotsilog, cornedsilog, spamsilog, tocilog, and even hungarian silog.  Even when came back to Cebu, I always love when breakfast includes some version of silog.

There many silogans now in the city and even the fast-food outlets like Jollibee have their own versions of the silog. I am just curios, what is your favorite silog meal and where do you usually eat when you crave for silog?  Comment and Share it with us.

When news broke that Itchoy Batchoyan had reopened its doors, my heart did a little dance of joy. The unassuming eatery nestled in the heart of Cebu City had become a cherished haven for many, offering more than just food; it provided comfort, solace, and a sense of community during the tough times of the pandemic and beyond. In a city known for its bustling food scene, Itchoy Batchoyan still found a way to stand out. During the pandemic, I never stopped exploring and looking for the best local eats.  One of my most exciting discoveries was this unassuming Batchoyan and Paresan. I remember the first time I walked through its doors, drawn in by the aroma of familiar Filipino comfort foods. Batchoy,  beef pares, Sisig, Crispy Kare-Kare, and Lechon Kawali were just a few of the fantastic creations that awaited those lucky enough to discover this culinary haven.  The eatery back then had a "dirty kitchen" were you can watch how the delicious food are made.

In the past year, there have been several restaurants in Cebu that wants to claim "The Best Wings Place in Cebu" title.  The introduction of several chicken wing places cannot outpace the demand for delicious and spicy chicken wings. It is definitely a booming segment as many  Cebuanos flock to their favorite wing place.  Recently, I had a "wing night" with my wife and we restaurant-hopped in two of the best chicken wing places in Cebu. First, we visited the newly opened Bad Boys Wingz right across Bright Academy in Talamban. This wing place used to be a small, but very popular food stall at the BTC and because of the high demand of chicken wings, the owners opened a stand-alone restaurant. I would say it was an excellent decision because they really serve one of the best chicken wings in Cebu.
