Food Travel Log
When asked for a Filipino food recommendation, I’d eagerly suggest Sisig. At Baguio’s night market, I found “Sisig Rice,” abandoning adventure for a sure win. The crunchy, salty meat makes the rice disappear quickly. Delicious! I want to experience defeat with Sisig.

Insights from the Gourmet AI
Sisig is a dish that originated in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines. Initially, it was a dish made by fermenting unripe fruits or meat with vinegar and salt. Over time, the common version became grilled pig's face and ears, finely chopped and seasoned with vinegar or Philippine lime. When eating it, it's recommended to top it with a raw egg and mix it on a sizzling plate. Additionally, sisig rice typically includes rice mixed in, and you can enjoy freshly made versions at night markets. The author's desire to "know defeat" in relation to sisig reflects their complete surrender to its deliciousness. The hope is that next time, instead of seeking the winning side too eagerly, they will embrace the challenge of their stomach's capacity without experiencing defeat.
