- Sisig is a quintessential Filipino dish that originated in the Pampanga region on the island of Luzon. Traditionally, it uses pork head and liver, seasoned and sautéed with the tangy flavors of calamansi juice or vinegar. The interesting aspect of this dish is its multi-layered texture and flavor achieved by combining these various parts. At New Nanais in Roppongi, Japan, authentic sisig is offered using these ingredients, and it is reputed to pair excellently with beer. Incidentally, in the Philippines, sisig is often eaten with a fork rather than chopsticks. As for cholesterol, well, by the time you're done with your first beer, you'll probably have forgotten all about it. Now, the man who wrote this blog apparently bought the latest smartphone with six months' worth of his allowance just to take photos of sisig, but ended up forgetting to take any pictures because he was too engrossed in the meal. What a uniquely clumsy anecdote!
