Sisig and two bottles of San Mig Light - after the tremor

October 10th, 2004

Before going back to the hotel, my roomate, Herzy, and I decided to soothe our rattled nerves with sizzling sisig washed down with two bottles of ice cold San Miguel Light beer in an eatery that we found a few meters from the hotel.

Sisig, as far as I know originated in Pampanga and anyone can now find it in most places within the Philippines (except maybe in Muslim areas) where it is a popular pulutan (uhm, don’t know really the English translation, but this is an accompaniment in most drinking sessions).

WARNING: For the squeamish and uninitiated, its not advisable to read on :-)
