- Pork sisig is a dish originating from the Philippines and is said to have gained popularity in the taverns of Angeles City, Pangasinan province, in central Luzon. It's a dish made by finely chopping pork head meat and innards and stir-frying them with onions and chili peppers. Originally, it was created to make use of pork ears and facial parts without waste. The key to enjoying sisig is to eat it hot and crispy when it's served on a sizzling plate, as this enhances its aromatic flavor. However, to soothe a stomach weary from the fatty sisig, it's a steadfast rule to wash it down gently with San Miguel Light, a local Filipino beer. While it may not have any scientific backing, among locals, it’s a traditional "junk food wash-down technique." By the way, the author of the blog claims to be a "man with high standards for sisig," but beyond pork sisig, he probably turns into a self-proclaimed loud singer when drunk, becoming a lively member of Davao’s nightlife crowd. It's best not to attract too much attention while enjoying drinks at the pub.
