Tapa Sinangag At Itlog – Tapsilog

Tapsilog is the term used when tapa(“cured beef”), garlic-fried rice (“sinangag”), and fried egg (“itlog”) are combined into one meal, which is good for breakfast, but can also be served at lunch and dinner.

Note: This Tapsilog recipe is good for two persons.

* Beef sirloin 1 kg.
* A whole bulb of garlic, minced finely.

Tapsilog Recipe Preparation – Cooking Instructions:

I got this email from our mailing list and it seem that there was a competition going on for the price of the ultimate award – The Pavarotti Award and title of CHOIR OF THE WORLD! This is another way to be proud of being a Filipino, we’ve slowly but surely growing into our own.  There were a lot of competition around the globe that was held in Wales.  Wales is known for their beautiful voices and choir, but Philippines took home the prize!  The University of Santo Tomas is some of my families alma mater…and am sure they’re totally proud of the fact that they took the ultimate prize – The Pavarotti Award.  Read the description below and click on the link to see the video and also all other winners of different categories.
