    Everytime I was in the west or east coast, luckily I always got to eat silog meals as there are quite a number of Filipino eateries and diners that serve good ol' home cooking. Of course, I do indulge in American cuisine a lot whenever I'm there, courtesy of friends and acquaintances, but since I'm Filipino, nothing beats having silog on home ground.

    • @LLVT

      @@LLVT Yes. Denny's is a good choice. Since you guys also like Manam, their silog meals are also great-tasting. Goodah in Timog, QC and Tapa King at the 2nd floor of RCBC, BGC also offer tasty silog meals, the latter having larger servings, should these be preferred.

    SILOG is a literally shortened word for Sinangag(fried rice) and itlog (egg)
    ULAM has no direct English translation but it is anything you eat with rice. Even soy sauce or salt can be called ulam if that is the only thing you will eat with rice.
    Now you mix it with other ulam and you form another Filipino food vocabulary
    Tapa (dried or cured beef) + silog = Tapsilog
    Hotdog + silog = Hotsilog
    Bangus + silog = Bangsilog
    Spam + silog = Spamsilog
    Tocino + silog = Tocilog
    Pork chop + silog = Porksilog
    Fried Chicked + silog + Chicsilog
    And many more

    Silogs are the msinstreams but each Philippjne region has it's own breakfast. It depends on what is abundant in region.
    Mine in the highlands of the north consist of some rice, sauteed green leafy vegetables added or topoed with some fish or meat and some fruit.
    In the older days (grand pa's favorite breakfast).
    It can be boiled sweet potatoes dipped on cooked sugar cane juice and washed down with traditionally processed coffee (not decafinated) which makes him "fired up for work".

    This is spot on. I'm as Filipino as Andres Bonifacio can be but American breakfast will win almost everytime if the line up is fluffy pancakes, hash brown, scrambled egg and a very good sausage or ham or minimum of 4 pcs of bacon. Take any one out, it's a Filipino breakfast for me. For Filipino, it's always garlic rice, scrambled egg and hashed corned beef for me. Simple sautéed corned beef is ok but I hashed hits the spot.
    As for lunch, no matter how good a burger is, it will always lose out to a Filipino lunch made of rice and one dish. For Filipinos, burger is just a snack. After eating it, we will still salivate for rice.
    Dessert, it's a tie. Both cultures have great desserts. Depends on your craving that day.

    It is so true Christina, working in the west is so stressful that when you come home you want to spend your spare time to yourself. You do not want to hear complaints from your children/husband so you try to entertain yourself by either watching TV, talking to your friend on the phone or anything that will take your mind off work while the kids have to entertain themselves with the TV or any gadgets you buy so they do not bother you and complain of being bored. Not much family interaction except during vacation when you have no worries about work which is every 6 months if you can afford but for regular earning Americans it is yearly vacation. For the whole year, it is all about work, not much family interaction or avoiding family interaction because as it is it is all about complaining of work and every adult try to avoid talking about their issues, the other partner does not want to hear your problem from work because they have their own too, possibly the reason why divorce is very common in the States. American lawmakers should allow families to have a vacation every 3 months, that will probably improve the divorce rate in America which will be very expensive..LOL...
