- East Village restaurant Maharlika serves sisig, a popular Filipino street food. Sisig is a Kapampangan dish made from pig parts and chicken liver. Insider producer Medha Imam visited Maharlika with the founder of Filipino Food Crawl, Raf Ignacio, to see how this food is made, how to eat it properly, and why it’s culturally significant.

The History of Sisig, The Philippine's Favorite Comfort Food
As a Filipino I will say this.....DO NOT BUY THE CANNED SISIG! Its not the same and the taste is wrong.
I dont think it takes a genius to figure that out 😂
@@RockstarEater I know 😅 just wanted to help 👋
@@alessandrobautista2308 Kahit yung Purefoods sisig?
@@punk0101 Kahit na
Oo gagi bulok lasa amp
As a Filipino, Sisig is one of the most Versatile foods out there.
DeuzeSee and I agree with this statement
DeuzeSee yes brother.
very unhealthy dish that is why westerner prefered other asian cousines with less grease and more on veggies cousines..
czcams.com/video/ZgFsSrvicO0/video.html yummy filpino
@@kevinfrancisco3224 ahahah unhealty food is the best you know
that canned sisig is such a disgrace to the filipino cuisine 😂
Like Chef Boyarde ravioli is to Italian cuisine!
Ikr putangina nilaaa
Does Putangina means Beautiful?
Putang Ina thank youu
cringe
*canned sisig exists*
Filipinos: *Pathetic.*
Na try mo tho? Masarap yung sa PureFoods
@@johannesalbrecht2503 masarap? 🤢 taste is subjective anyway lol
@@jpq1487bro it's canned, para sa canned* sisig pwede na
*7/11 sisig joined the group*
Kenneth Ignacio Mas Gusto ko sa 7/11 Sisig kasa sa Canned😂
Lots of love to the host for taking the effort in pronouncing the Filipino words the best she can
I think she is a filipino herself. Her looks is very filipino and her surname sounds like a filipino surname to me.
@@hypnoeyes4454 she's indian or bengali
@@hypnoeyes4454 you think medha is a filipino surname? it's south asian
Hypnoeyes lol You should get those hypno eyes checked out.
She is Pakistani
Canned sisig is more like the taste of liver spread than anything else...
We suggest to try the classic Sisig than the canned ones..
Thanks :D
Its still pretty good
@@julietbengulo3086
Nahh bro
@@sealdew5348 yes bro
But obviously not as good as the classic and modern version
I don’t think sisig is comfort food it’s more like “while you’re drinking beer food”
It's both, tbh
I love it as a main dish. (Tho the best carbs is rice)
pang pulutan yan!
Its a versatile dish. You can eat it with rice (the best way to eat it tbh), pair it with wine or beer, and sometimes i make it as palaman in my bread too! Dont knock it till you try it lol
You can make it as a main dish paired with rice, as a snack, as a beer food. It is awesome
Stop sending her to places where she can't eat the food. This is the second time you have done it. Not very respectful FI. 💢
Joel Dagli 🧂 much? Lmao!!!😂🤣
True.
She cant eat pork right?
@@ooohhhooohhh3986 she's muslim
Maybe she is not a muslim she just have the face of someone who came from a muslim country
Thats just my guesss
lol this show got a host that can’t eat pork to try out sisig. She ended up eating fish
She's Muslim you can't blame her
well if its well thought out they should have let someone else do the hosting
There is fish sisig in PH.
Pretty dumb to put someone who has food restrictions as a host for a food show 💁🏽♂️
She sounds like a child as well. Lol, anyway this is the new diversity quota.
As a Japanese man I think this is perfect with sushi rice for that extra sticky texture alongside the crunch that they describe
This is literally what we had for lunch today! Our rice had this really "sticky" and fluffy texture which complemented my mom's crispy sisig so well!
I can't ever imagined eating Sisig without *rice.* It's like a crime against humanity lmao
Sisig with sushi rice wrapped in seaweed like a california roll.
eew no. can you not appropriate our culture
Left over meat parts has led to some of the best dishes in the world. All you need is the right chef and an open mind 😃
I personally like exploring leftover meat specialties in my city!
just like oxtail :)
In SISIG’S case just a mom whos selling BBQ on the street and violah then came sisig as we know it.
To be clear its left over meat from slaughter house, the parts they usually throw away in the USA. Here in Philippines, there's nothing to throw away, its the way we developed efficiency in food. Even the instentine and blood and surprisingly its very good and tasty food.
@@Kevz916 it seems that usa is more wasteful
Tbh
The true story was in grilling. The chef accidentally grilled too much pork, so she just chopped them and fry it. That’s how sisig was made. Watch Erwin Hussaef’s vlog about it.
As a filipino, I'm impressed by her accent and pronunciation :)
I guess you could call it their... Sisignature ?!
Nice😂
Don't you mean... Our sisignature dish?
Proud to be a filipino.
KingOfFansz no one cares

Wow ang corny mo 😂

I mean...it's diversity /s
Why do they continue to send a no pork eater to places that specialize in pork dishes? 😂😂
Agree. Fish or chicken sisig is just not the same as the original pork sisig.
Ikr! 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Exactly, The irony lmao
Diversity? Idk man I was curious about it too.
Cause they're idiots thats why.
FI Producer: Yeah, send someone who doesn't eat pork to eat sisig.
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@Harrave 4:11
@@Harrave She had the fish instead of the pork i think
Sisig is not only for meat. The word sisig means" something sour". We Kapampangans usually make salad made out of mango which we pair with boiled shrimp and bagoong/alamang we call it sisig manga. We also make sisig with other sour fruits. So if the sisig that was served to you was not sour and has mayonnaise and egg it is not a sisig.
The host really made an effort to pronounce the Filipino words correctly. Well done! This is a really great video and I learned a lot.
*Bruh its 12:03 am in the PH AND I WANT ME SOME SISIG*
IKR 😂
Some hamster sure would like some sisig
in sisig we trust
Medha is so full of joy, it's good to see a happy sunshine face.
a big no NO to that canned sisig..
Proud to be Kapampangan! Pagmaragul ke ing Balen Kapampangan!🇵🇭❤️
YercsTV ginawa lang sarsyadung sisig soi
Jonel Cruz wapin bap😆😋
The way medha pronounced sisig, pampanga and aling lucing made her sound like a filipino...as a filipino myself it made me enjoy this even more
The canned sisig is failed. If you want another version of sisig, buy 'century tuna' in can and fried it. After that, remove it from the pan and add chopped onion, red chili, calamansi, mayonaise, chicharon.
My parents do that
Perfect timing, released the same day as Geography Now Flag Friday of the Philippines

All times perfectly man.

Dont kno about you. But me it does nothing
The original KAPAMPANGAN sisig doesn’t have EGG and MAYO ☹️
JANELLE tastes better though
I like it with egg and mayo better
It's called "dinakdakan"
@@samm-cn8km Not really. As a Kapampangan myself you just can't beat the original. I've tried it with egg and mayo but it's just a no. The egg I could agree with but the mayo is what throws it off. I don't mind people putting mayo on it but when they say it tastes better with it, no.
Yes... I believe it should be pig's brain!
Filipino cuisine should really be recognized more, it's great!
She pronounces tagalog terms so smooth 😍
A a Filipino, Sisig is one of my favorite dishes. Although most of my American friends say that it is grosser than Spam?
Although my fav Dishes are the desserts! Buko Pandaan and Halo Halo make my day
Say to them that your face is grosser than the sisig hahahaha
Your friend has simple taste buds, I guess. His taste buds can't appreciate complex flavors.
Full respect for Medha
As a filipino, i wouldnt say " comfort food "
But more like, " Pulutan "
Japanese David Bowie others wont understand
@@balegadojehoshuajhoxefm.1455 thats my point
Who ever the girl is hosting the video, your pronunciation is impeccable! Many people tend to overlook us Filipinos (or maybe that’s just how I feel growing up in a white neighbourhood lol) but this video made me feel that my culture is appreciated :)
Much love to u
Fun fact: the sisig was actually made accidentally because it was overgrilled or burned and the person is trying to save it by removing the burnt parts and adding it vinegar and soy sauce (if i'm right) and that's how the sisig kapampangan is made.
The host's pronunciation of the filipino words are very impressive! 😯👋👌
*Filipinos sees the title and thumbnail
*Filipinos:let us InTRoDuCe ourselves*
Yeah so cringy.
Lol
Yeah
Cringe lol
Sorry, they can't hear you over the sound of their Filipino pride. This is why I don't want to watch videos involving anything Filipino in it because of the cringey comments.
I am from pampanga and I am very familiar with the circle of cultural workers. Sisig is not really a dish but a way of cooking. That is why we have sisig heart of banana, sisig manggo etc. Sizzling sisig is a dish. Aling Lucing popularized the use pig’s face and snout only for sisig. But people in pampanga have been using the different parts of the pig. but it was Pamintuan who introduced the sizzling plate.
Why they chose an indian producer for this video?? they should know they rarely eat pork. Most of them even remained herbivores. The camera cut during the taste test, and the dude doing the tasting.. was totally awkward.
And the man not good on english speaking
Dont be confused with the gramatical structure and accent. His english is fine.. its just that his accent is a typical “coño” accent. Some find it cute... we from the central and south Philippines find it annoying.
It's not that she is Indian that she cannot eat pork, in India many people eat pork and also the Anchor's name is Medha Imam a muslim for them eating pork is Haram . So get your facts clear. Thank You.
lol., *_*shoutout to the host for taking effort in fiilipino pronounciation.., she didn't even get a bite of sisig.. she switched to fish.. fun fact: i also loved this dish.. it's kind of unique too when u mix the egg with the pork and love the toppings and the sizzling hot plate .. btw i'm filipino_**
As a Filipino, it's hard to watch eating sisig without rice or beer haha
I remember in the late 70's and early 80's when i was stationed at Clark AB. Me and my friends would go to the grilling stalls near the railroad tracks, and eat Sisig. It only costs between 20 and 30 pesos then per order.
The pronounciation is ON POINT
Props to the host! Her pronunciation is almost perfect, esp for a non-native Tagalog speaker!
The host is so delightful!
Oh goodness! Swiswig is god-tier. How I wish I can eat that everyday! Love from New York! New York, Cubao.
Don't buy the sisig canned form 😂. Also don't eat sisig without a kicker (Rice or Beer or what so ever) 😂
I love the host's pronunciation of Maharlika and Sisig!
I think because she is Indian and Maharlika is derived from Sanskrit
Wow Ignacio he definitely has some Spanish in him awesome love from Ecuador 😎
we were overseas province of spain for 333 years
we were once member of the latin union and our first ofical language was castillan our history and national anthem were written spanish
@@cleofe5229 yes I know but I haven't seen many Filipinos that look mixed with Spanish or with Spanish names
@@sapointiwe are austronesians and the spaniards called as negritos or little black people 90% of us have spanish names and lastnames because of catalogo alfabetico de apellido but in the cities the modern filipinos choose english because they dont like pablo instead of paul they think it sound old. here in the provinces we keep names like trinidad instead of trinity. my name example Cleofe Conde La bendia
@@sapointi what cleoce said is true. But having 1-2% or less Spanish admixture is not uncommon. Still, doesn't make Filipinos in the mestizo group.
The history of sisig reminded me of how African American ancestors ate chitterlings and pig ears because that was all that was left after the slave owners took the good parts of the pigs/hogs. As an AA, I grew up eating something slightly similar; my mom would cook sausage then mix it with egg. When I was little I would throw cheese in top.
0:00 Ite imma head out
Sisig is a top 20, maybe top 10 dish in the world imo
So good!
I wouldn't recommend the canned sisig, like others said.
It's more tasty and enjoyable when it's original.
I’m Filipino, everytime i go out drinking we always pair sisig with beer it is just the best
As a native Kapampangan it's painful to see that they put egg in sisig! 🤦🏻♂️
gerald1121 sarsyadu ya soi eneman sisig kanu😫
Let the dish evolve.
Man her pronunciation is so good
It looks delicious to me.👍👍👍
Thanks, Food Insider!!
Toonsguy97 Me, too. You look really good😁
I love how medha pronounces filipino words perfectly 👌👌 she's really pretty too 😊
@4:28 she was abt to grab the sizzling plate with her bare hand. 🤣
Can confirm

This is funny I hate it
Is it still happening in our country?

That's my favorite ❤ perfect match of beer, love from PH 💋
I ate this in the Philippines it's absolutely delicious
Cheerio!!!!
Explains how pork sisig is made the entire video..
*Eats Fish Sisig*
what you should've asked is, why make a video about pork if the host will be a *MUSLIM* ?
The Host Is Muslim
true it literally destroys the essence of the documentary 😂
She is Muslim if yous till don't Belive check her insta
@@unknownherrscher yeah I had to agree :/
My favorite sisig is from the very beer place anthony Bourdaine had his taste of sisig where he proclaimed it's arguably the best pork dish in the world. Super 6 right across malate church, the centuries old church located at the very heart of manila.
This is the same restaurant from the Worth It episode, they make some great food!
Very thoughtful of you, Mister Fingering Things
Proud to be filipino here, please try filipino desserts too!
Filipino🇵🇭🙌🙌🏻🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿
Filipinos are indeed resourceful.
Our ancestors invented banana catsup because tomato plantations are destroyed during WWII. Then this one filipino guy create toys by using discarded rubber from flip flops. We students always always asked by teachers to create projects that are from recyclable materials. I love being filipino
Wowsers how interesting....👍👍
hi,czcams.com/video/GCoeqSEBcho/video.html
I don't trust FilAms who say "Filipino food is not spicy." For one, most sisig you can buy in the Philippines have chili, with extra red chilis to make it even spicier.
sisig is discovered accidentally by aling lucing and by the way the original sisig is only soy sauce and calamansi.....no mayo,egg and ginger actually

This doesn't tell the history of sisig. It only shows how a certain joint express the dish. I just wish they told it how sisig began - how aling lucing made this phenomenal breakthrough.
I'm about to travel to the Philipeans
Correction:its Philippines
The dish’s name comes from “sisigan,” an old Tagalog word which means “to make it sour.” Its existence was first recorded in a Kapampangan dictionary back in 1732 by Diego Bergaño, a Spanish missionary who served as the parish priest for Mexico, Pampanga at the time. The Augustinian friar defined sisig as “a salad including green papaya or green guava eaten with a dressing of salt, pepper, garlic, and vinegar.”
It us supposed to be eaten with Beer or Rice..
@@ceci--lia Well, the Tondo/Tundo Kingdom which is an Indian Influenced Kingdom that speaks Old Tagalog reached it's territory from the Pasig River up to modern day Mabalacat, Pampanga. So that explains it.
I really want to eat sisig and I saw this video and I was like, "YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!!!"
Also, I am actually from the province where sisig was originated.
Dope. Any recommendations in LA?
Anton James Vlogs so you lived in pampanga? Awesome!
Me too
Im a filipino and I love sisig
Buy a true sisig and not canned sisig! But if you want to save some money try to buy can sometime
Canned tastes nice if you cook it with mayonnaise and some garlic. Eating it from the can, probably not quite as goodm
Sometimes it's partnered with mayo/lime/egg and if you put it all in one plate its just......heaven
I don't think the host was as excited as her expression was when she saw the 🐖😆
Just gonna put it out there: the narrator pronounced Pampanga pretty well
It was 12:16 AM and I'm here because of the sisig. AND NOW I WHAT TO EAT SISIG. I REGRET WATCHING THIS. I'M HUNGRY.
Sisig ni manang are so great, that's my lunch during college days. That's the best version I had in my life.
I love Filipino food ! I also make recipes if you guys like that :)
I remember my mom cooked sisig when I was a kid... when I get sad or tired from school my mom cooked up a warm rice with pork sisig! 🐖🐖
ayeee kapampangan ku pag maragul ku.....
As the old kapampangan say Manyisig ku Manga. I remember my late father he love eating Sisig Manga or Sisig Santol and Guava. He also love doing Buru Manga, Santol, Kamias, and Sampalok. My late Mom used those Buru also when she cook.
As a filipino I LOVE SISIG❤❤❤❤
“It’s still sizzling hot ‘cause it just came out of the pan.” 👌🏼
I felt bad for us Kapampangans. A sisig would never have an egg or a mayonnaise on top. 🤣
Zner Mallare i know right. They could’ve talked to Kapampangans instead
True, some of the filipinos here talk about as if the sisig that they ate at the video is a real sisig, a real sisig doesn't even have a mayo or egg so it's not authentic, i feel bad for the kapampangans too...
I want to cry right now! I miss cooking this. Nobody complained and devoured my version of Sisig to the very last piece. It's not easy to get a HEAD OF CHEESE (pig's head) where I am at. I can't even get uncut LIEMPO (pork belly).
The lady is right! "Sisig is a Beer Drinker's food." PULUTAN or whatever food eaten while drinking liquor can vary from Sisig to Peanuts fried with garlic or other food, depending on the preference of a drinker. There are actual oval Sizzling Plates, but what is shown here are Cast Iron Skillets.
I agree with the man when he said that just with Adobo alone, there is no wrong or right way to make that dish because recipes vary according to which Region a Filipino is from. With 7,107 Islands that make up the Archipelago, some dishes are not even known on other parts of the Philippines.
*I WANT FCKING SISIG TAKE ME TO THE PHILIPPINES!! I wanna lived there forever*
Noooooooooo 😂
You loved it there if you have financial stable you have now
I'm mind blown! I'm prior military (navy trauma corpsman) and I lived in San Diego many many years and from I'm from San Jose so I've had lots of Filipino dishes, but never heard of this, holy shët I need this in my life!
How she gonna say she cant wait to try it when she's not even allowed to eat it wtf
I guess she dont know that its made by pork.. I guess she's a muslim base on her family name.
@@princesskeiranizhiealizxyr1541 they should've picked another host
Theres different types of sisig bruh
@@TheOmnipotence the history of sisig started with pork BRUH. If it wasn't obvious enough to you that i was referring to the PORK sisig.
@@LigayaShow if you watched the video it actually started as a salad BRUH
For the vegetarians, you guys can try the tofu sisig.
Niceee
*“Am I the only one that don't taste sourness on sisig?”*
Because we Pinoys are used to sourness. So, a lil hint of sour wouldn't tang our tastebuds. An oz friend of mine said the same thing too, that sisig tastes a bit sour.
I only taste the spiciness but not the sourness
You gotta add calamansi to taste sour :0
Ummm it has calamansi which is similar to lime, also its original recipe is really sour and there is abit of mayo too
Wow! The sisig was invented by a Kapampangan (people who lived in the province of Pampanga).. And now here are some bunch of idiots who say that Filipinos just take the leftover meats from the U.S. Naval ships thrown by their soldier to make sisig?! That kind of story is very stupid!!
Alejandro Ricafort not all Kapampangans only live in Pampanga
Filipino Here. Whos with me if you are a filipino
Who cares, tone down your pinoy pride
Her excitement got me❤
