Trying Crispy Pata and Tapsilog for the First Time! | Filipino Food Experience 😄 

I've had rice everyday for the past 48 years. One of the side benefits of being married to a Filipina, I guess.😍😍😍

Filipinos love to put vinegar in most of the dishes cause it preserves the dishes like adobo which could be eatable for at least 3-5 days without refrigeration.

The lady has like a filipino soul. I mean, look at how natural she is eating rice with her hands. Shes like born and raised in the Philippines.

she is definitely filipina at heart lol she's a natural at eating with her hand

TAPSILOG is only a member of a family of breakfast items Filipinos love and adore. Basically the PREFIXES are interchangable depending on the main protien asociated with the SINANGAG - Fried rice and ITLOG - Egg hence the general term for these breakfast items "SILOG". Other Silog options include: LONGSILOG - Protein is Sweet Filipino Sausage TOSILOG - Protein is TOCINO (more or less a sweet style filipino bacon) BANGSILOG - Protein is Deep fried milkfish CORNSILOG - Protein is Corned Beef (Basically a corn beef hash of some sort) Hope you get to try the other ones since you didn't like the TAPA as much. These variations of proteins paired with the silog are made exactly for that reason (to have different options to choose from). Another thing i would like to Point out is that you actually use the vinegar based sauce as the dip for the the protein (though pouring small amounts of the sause over the rice is still ok). These vinegar sauces are basically a mixture of condements used in filipino cuisine along with soy sauce, fish sauce and more. And yes, you can literally buy them in bottles specially the spiced vinegar ones called Sinamak. These condements can be used to add more flavor and complexity to your food even on the table (while eating). Basically restaurants would have a set of of these sauces and condements for each table so that the customers could personalize their savory dishes to their taste much like how most would add hotsauce and etc to pizza. Hope this helps for future contents. Looking forward to your uploads.

Im proud being a filipino, thanks for promoting our culture...

One of the traditional ways on eating handed down for generations for many Filipinos is eating without any utensils and just using your hands to scoop your mix of viand and rice.

here's one fun fact: TapSiLog is a mix-and-match style of Combo meal, where you can substitute the Tapa portion for any protein dish that's available. Common and equally acceptable variations more aligned with Western familiarity would be CornSiLog (Corned beef) Chik/ChixSiLog (Chicken), SpamSiLog (Duh), HotSiLog (Hotdog), and BacSiLog (Bacon). Also, it's si-na-ngag (Sea-nah-N(g)AHG), which means cooked rice mixed with garlic. Si-ni-gang (Sea-knee-GAHNG) is a soup dish that's basically a Sour Bouillabaisse. And another you should try, btw.

Most of our dishes (except maybe for saucy or tomato sauce-baded and coconut milk-based dishes) are complemented with condiments/dipping sauce. Some vinegar or soy sauce mix usually. So always ask where you order if there's a sauce or dip to go along with the dish.

Man, I really want to try their food. Filipinos really have amazing cuisine.

I really liked the look of that. I've never tried it and don't know if there are any Filipino places near me but it's worth trying to find out. Take care guys

Try the Filipino Lechon, Beef Kare Kare, and Pork Sisig

This is the 3rd time I’m eating 2am because of your videos! Proud Filipino from London ON

tapsilog is a hit or miss with first time tasters.. longsilog and tocilog are more 1st time friendly!

Yep, rice for breakfast, rice for lunch and rice for dinner. Oh, rice for dessert to (Biko, Suman etc) Life's good 👍 🌞

Sinigang and Sinangag are two different thing Sinangag = Garlic Fried Rice Sinigang = Pork/Fish Sour Soup

They are lot silog combo Bangsilog(fried fish milk/sinangag(fried rice)/itlog(egg). Tocilog(Tocino(marinated sweet meat and the sinangag and itlog). Longsilog(Longanisa(its a meat but put inside the skin and sinangag and itlog).

You guys are making SO hungry and SO nostalgic. I’m half Filipina and haven’t had a lot of Filipino food ( outside of adobo and lumpia) since my Grandparents passed.

You guys can use the spoon to scoop the rice with the meat and the egg instead of using your fork. :) Use your fork to push the food onto the spoon.

I love that @The Trips tried this! Crispy pata is one of my favorite foods!

Thanks for trying our Filipino foods much love here from manila Philippines 🇵🇭❤

Ur pronounce is right topsilog, we have also lots called log like longsilog , bangsilog, tapasilog, cornedsilog, and more made fish,corn beef, beef, pork, hotdog and more thats our ultimate breakfast in the philippines

When you said "I need a bottle of that sauce!", I felt that. I love Filipino sauces hahaha especially the seasoned vinegar.

Maligayang Pasko and Manigong Bagong Taon or Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Great to watch you three again! Wishing you all the best and more success!

Thanks you guys for enjoying our specialties! Much love! ❤ 😍 💖

we dont usually pour that sauce in the rice. That sauce is meant for the pata to be dipped in. Dont be afraid to ask when you buy the food. The meat on the tapsilog can also be dipped into that pata sauce. That pata sauce is used for a lot of dry filipino meat dishes.

Your videos are so entertaining and mouth-watering!! LOL!! Looking forward to more fun videos like these.

Tapsilog for breakfast, & the crispy pata for appetizer when you drinking beer

New subscriber here from philippines🇵🇭 thank you for trying our foods🤗 we filipino loves you all now for sure❤️

Just to add..we Filipinos use spoon instead of fork when eating with rice. It's just easier to get more of everything in one bite. #protip 😉

OMG! That crispy pata looks so gooood! 😍 I just ate but I’m kind of hungry again.

im a pilipino, i will proud of you guys..... 4 eating our best dish in my country. try another dish guys sisig. bulalo. pork lumpia,

Definitely eat with your hands. Sauce is for dipping. Great job guys!

You guys made me hungry I love filipino food so much!

Beautiful food 🥘 I miss that ! Yummm 😋 Thanks for Sharing, Watching from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺

TAP-SI-LOG, This is an acronym for TAP is Tapa(cured beef).....SI is for sinangag(fried-rice)....LOG is egg(itlog).You just got me salivating on that crispy pata, it's been awhile I never had that.Bonne Appetite!

thank you for liking Filipino food I'm happy 😊🇵🇭

Im getting hungry🤗 great video guys. Thanks

I'm watching this over and over again because of the crispy pata. 🥰🙂😀

The way you eat the rice with you hand is actually the best way in eating rice. It makes all food taste even better when eating with hand.

The description of the _tapa_ being vinegary sounds odd to me, because it's usually not marinated in vinegar (or at least significantly). The primary flavors in a _tapa_ marinade is often soy sauce, garlic, and black pepper. Sourness often comes from the addition of Worcestershire sauce. However, _tapa_ is often served with a vinegar dip *ON THE SIDE* So it's possible that the tapsilog was served incorrectly: either the restaurant combined the vinegar dip as part of the marination/finished dish, or the vinegar dip was poured onto the meat.

hi guys, just saw your videos eating Filipino food. i really appreciate seeing foreigners exploring and enjoying our food. enjoy! good job. don't forget to dip the food when it's paired with a sauce or else you won't get the full taste.

my grandmother used to put a little sugar in the marinade to her tapa recipe. and we also used to squeeze a little calamansi or lemon which brings out flavor of the meat. there are different variations to the 'silog meals; spamsilog, longsilog, etc. you can make anything a 'silog by adding a different protein.

I just subscribed to your channel guys. Nice team I enjoyed watching your reactions. Tnx for liking our cuisines. Ron here from Philippines.

I thought you guys have more than 100k subscribers. I love watching your food reviews 💕 keep it up!

Oh wow! Love them both!

TAPSILOG is popular here in the Philippines and that is a part of BREAKFAST dish .... We have another BREAKFAST a TOCILOG,LONGSILOG AND HOTSILOG

Our pinoy recommended try to eat is pinoy pork sizzling sisig. Next try on ur next vlog goodluck

one thing i really love and enjoy watching on food videos is seeing adventurous westerners trying out foreign food. personally, i prefer tocilog (tocino), which is the pork version of the tapsilog. there are many other variations of that.

TAPa - marinated fried beef SInangag - fried rice Pritong itLOG - fried egg TAPSILOG that reminds me of my college days one of my faves. Good for budgetarians Nice food review, in addition regarding crispy pata, the remains can be cooked with lechon sauce and vinegar turned into Lechon Paksiw Try Paksiw na Pata (cooked in soy sauce with banana blossoms) its also good

I'm hungry now. Next on the list ; - pork sisig - pork BBQ - pancit - pork dinuguan - lechon

Subscribed. Filipino here. 😍💕🇵🇭🇵🇭

Got to see your channel today for the first time, wow, that crispy pata looks spot-on perfect! Crispy skin, tender meat under, and I can almost taste the food just watching you guys munch on it, yummmm! Best taken with a cold beer, anytime, for which I associate it as a dinner thing! As with other “food+si+log” (longsilog, tosilog etc), tapsilog is generally associated with breakfast although generally, it can be served any time of the day. It’s because of the “sinangag na kanin” (fried rice) and “itlog” (egg) components that are standard breakfast items which can be paired with any other food items, like fried dried fish, fried-to-a -crisp dried pusit (dried squid, my actual preferred breakfast), etc to even American items like bacon, ham, spam, hotdog, or even “vienna” sausage etc. Perfect breakfast food for us, that tapsilog, best taken with coffee and topped of with some fruit slices on the side (banana, watermelon etc), especially when served in Philippine hotels. There are also all sorts of tapa, and it looks like you got a vinegary kind. So that’s not generally true of all tapa, and for most tapsilogs I am used to, the vinegar comes in separately packaged. Personally, I prefer a sweet and spicy tapa, and I just add vinegar separately, to taste. One thing I have to say is this, your pairing of crispy pata with tapsilog was a suboptimal choice if it were up to me! And even if you did pair them, it would have been better to start with the tapsilog then only afterwards would you try the crispy pata, especially because that crispy pata of yours looked perfect and hard to beat It might be because I associate tapsilog as a breakfast food and crispy pata as a dinner food, but that’s only me, they can be eaten anytime actually. In general, crispy pata would be served alongside other “heart attack” specials like sisig, lechon kawali, roasted lechon etc for meats, plus vegetable meals like chopsuey, laing, pinakbet etc. On the other hand, tapsilog and the like are normally served as standalone meals, so that’s why I think it’s hard to pair with other dishes. More power guys! Kudos also for using your hands while eating! And don’t feel bad after the comments saying that you are supposed to dip the meat into the sauce and not put the sauce onto the meat and rice… I do both, so dripping some of the sauce onto the rice while targeting the meat then scooping everything with a spoon to eat the crispy pata is a favorite guilty pleasure of mine hahaha, whatever works for you is fine… cheers!

Neighbors ( I’m in Hamilton Ontario) thank you for trying the Filipino food

When youre hungry .. youre just real and honest to the food youre eating .. its thr same expression i had when i tasted poutine for the first time i just want it all for myself 🤭

TAPSILOG....an acronynom of our food we eat here in the Philippines combination of syllables ..."TAP" ( TAPA in TAGALOG MARINATED THIN SLICED FRIED BEEF)..."SI" (SINANGAG=FRIED RICE IN TAGALOG)..."LOG" (ITLOG=EGG)

Happy New Year from the Philippines

Yes! Work on that English first guys! 😉 The skin on the Pata sounds very reminiscent of chicharrones. Runny yolk with rice is amazing. Filipino food and Eric's asmr. Sending 2021 out with a bang I see.

Hope the silog series featured too. We have variety silogs in the Philippines. Tapsilog is one of it. Theres also longsilog(Longganiza), chorsilog(chorizo),hotsilog(pinoy hotdogs), Tosilog(tosino) and cornsilog (cornbeef), etc. I think its 10 or 12 all silogs. Haha. The fried chicken,fried fish, and spam are also one of them. Bu the way happy new year to all.

Love the honest opinion. More power and stay safe. 😊😊

Nice show! ASMR 😀 I have had the experience of eating crispy pata that was so soft you can literally cut it with wooden sticks; no knife needed. Tapa can also be tenderized by hammering the beef... I like dipping the tapa in vinegar for best taste. Also, sinangag is the specific tagalog term for fried rice... steamed rice is called sinaing (pronounced si-na-ing)

Awsome.... thanks guys!!

In the Philippines, the crispy pata is boiled until tender. Then air dried and sometimes kept on the fridge overnight. Then fried the next day. 😅

tap+si+log (Beef Tapa + Fried Garlic Rice + Fried Egg).

When they pour the soy sauce on rice my eyes gets bigger and Oh nooo! It's too salty. You just dip the crispy pata on it but by the ways it will do some Filipinos do that.. Thank you for liking our food🥰🇵🇭

I started making Filipino cooking videos because of my Filipina gf so it’s cool to see other vids

I'm drolling just watching u guys! love the reaction

💯 Filipino points for using your hand! that's the perfect way to eat crispy pata with rice!!! 😁👌

Im so amaze watching your video eating Filipino food. Try also Kare-kare and pork sisig and its definitely good.

"Wow," that looks so delicious 😋 . That Crispy pata looks so Scrumptious 😋🍖👍 .

Next should be sisig if you guys haven’t tried it yet. But you need to eat right away at the restaurant because it’s serve on a sizzling plate.

You guys are great. Many thanks.

Try it with atsara/achara (pickled shredded papaya). TAPA(marinated beef) -SINANGAG(fried rice) - ITLOG (egg). TAPSILOG

The tapsilog has so many variations :) There’s longsilog, bangsilog, tocilog, etc. it’s so good! :) and yes. Rice. Rice. Rice! :)

Hi! Love your vlogs. Crispy pata is really good if the dipping sauce is vinegar with soy sauce garlic onions red chili & a bit of brown sugar. For tapsilog same thing that is also good with vinegar. I hope you will try other silog meals that is a statement breakfast Filipino food. Try bangsilog, longsilog, liemposilog, embusilog, porksilog & tocilog if you get the chance. BTW Filipinos love eating with their hands like what you did. Thanks for trying our dishes. Keep safe.

as a breakfast meal, it goes really well with coffee.

You should also try CHICHARON BULAKLAK!! that's is highly recommend food because it's delicious 😄💗

Crispy pata, sisig, barbeques, isaw and liquor (beer, brandy, rum, whisky, gin, whatever you prefer 😂)

We take spoon on the right hand and eat primarily with it. The fork to pick up food and also to push food unto the spoon. Oftentimes, the spoon doubles as a knife for slicing.

Originally adobo is oilly(as in soaked in its own oil) for preservation... it helps seal the meat from the air.... then the vinegar, sugar or salt also for preservation

Thank you for loving Filipino food ! I live in California for 23 years, my proposal is visit Philippines 🇵🇭

In joy the PILIPINO food...

Very cool. I'd like to try it as well.

One of our favorite here in the phil. So good and so delicious so yummy guys enjoy

The guy with the glass has a Filipino tongue. He knows how to read it right. Even in the other videos.

You guys doing great .

Mix the egg yoke with the garlic rice, eat the beef along with it or use a vinegar dipping sauce. We use vinegar with everything. Tapa is usually more like a partly dried jerky. Tocino is another meat alternative(sugar cured pork), called tocilog.

Crispy Pata is often present on every Filipino's table during Christmas holiday season.

I love this trio's authentic reactions. I just hope they can try Filipino food in a better restaurant. Those foods can be better in the hands of the right chef.

Also try Bagnet and lecheon belly.

Happy Holiday!

My eyes immediately opened woke-wide when the dipping sauce was (generously) added to the rice. 😲

Sinangag is typical breakfast rice. Usually left over rice from dinner. You can try Tocilog - tocino (cured pork) Bangsilog - bangus (type of fish) Chicsilog - fried chicken And more...

i love it when u guys appreciate filipino dishes that said if given a chance u should also try BEEF CALDERETA, PORK BINAGOONGAN, and BICOL EXPRESS 🙌😋😍 ... with rice 🍚 ofcourse 😁✌️

I'm actually glad that you ate the egg in the tapsilog the right way..

New subscriber here. Hello from Philippines. I love your videos. Especially about filipino foods. I want to see you guys eat Balut.😊

I love TAPSILOG in breakfast and Crispy pata in dinner with cold beer beside it. Yummy!

Wow thank you guys the food you try its really really yummy you forget your name if you try .soo watering on your mouth .rice plus crispy pata plus sprite or soda hay yummy yummy the topsilog ..

Tap si log it means, tapa, sinangag(pride rice) itlog(sunny side up egg)it's good together with beef soup

The tapa in tapsilog is something you can replace with something else - that's something really common so feel free to put that crispy pata on your silog (fried rice + egg). In fact, we have Tocilog which is tocino (sweetened pork), fried rice and egg. Another variation is Longsilog with longganisa which is our take on the sausage. Replace the meat with hotdogs and you have hotsilog, corned beef (sauted with garlic and onion) and you have cornsilog, fried chicken and you get chicksilog. The choices and options are endless!
