Silog Medley: A Mix of Filipino Breakfast Flavors

Filipino breakfasts are a perfect blend of sweet, savory, and salty flavors, which turn the standard morning meal into a full gastronomical experience. One of the most popular breakfast or almusal dishes is the silog, a combination of fried rice and a protein source, topped with a sunny-side egg. Today, we're taking silog to the next level by introducing a new way to enjoy it: The Silog Medley! But first, let's dive into this mix of Filipino breakfast flavors.

What is Silog?

Silog is a combination of the words sinangag (fried rice) and itlog (egg). It's a simple yet satisfying breakfast dish that can be easily found everywhere - from local karinderias to high-end chains. Over time, variations of silog meals have emerged, each with a unique protein source. Some of the most popular silog meals include hotsilog (hotdog and egg), porksilog (porkchop and egg), and longsilog (longganisa and egg).

Introducing the Silog Medley

With the endless varieties of silog available to enjoy, it gets pretty hard to choose which one to have. But who says you can't have it all? The Silog Medley takes the classic silog dish to the next level by incorporating various staple silog protein sources into one big sampling dish. We suggest to lay them out charcuterie board-style so that everyone can sample a small portions at a time. It's the perfect breakfast for those who want to try different flavors in one go!
