Hotsilog

Photos by Jeric Travis of Hotsilog (Hotdogs, sinangag at itlog)



HotSiLog = Hotdog + Sinangag (Fried Rice) + Itlog (egg)
The rice in most cases is white steamed rice. The eggs are fried, though sometimes soft-boiled or hardboiled eggs are also favored in this combination.
The original Silog is tapsilog, where the tapa refers to cured meat.
Today, there are so many of the triple-treat combos, where the rice and eggs are mainstays, while the third ingredient can be various kinds of meat and even fish.
What made the rice in the photos so dark?
