Tapsilog is the term used when tapa, garlic-fried rice (“sinangag”), and fried egg (“itlog”) are combined into one meal, which is served primarily during breakfast. The word tapa is related to the Sanskrit term tapas which means “heat”. In Tagalog, a restaurant that primarily serves tapa is called a tapahan, tapsihan or tapsilugan. According to some sources, “tapsilog” and “tapsihan” are slangwords. However, these terms are used by those restaurants and many Filipinos of all social strata. Tapsilog and tapsihan, therefore, may be considered standard words in the Filipino language and not slang.
