15. The sizzling “Sisig.”


Sisig is a popular Filipino dish usually prepared by chopping boiled pig’s ear and liver, then serving it with chili peppers and sour liquid–usually calamansi or vinegar. The term “sisig” is actually a Kapampangan word which means to “snack on something sour.”

Interesting fact: Sisig is said to be invented in the 1970s by Lucita Cunanan, popularly known as the “Sisig Queen.” Her signature pork dish brought fame not only to her restaurant, “Aling Lucing’s,” but also to the entire city of Angeles in Pampanga. Sadly, Cunanan was hammered to death in her home in 2008.
