They say sisig was invented by Aling Lucing of Angeles City way back from Philippine – American war in 1899. Because there were many pig parts thrown over by americans, Aling Lucing decided to utilize the pig’s head and ears to create a delicious recipe.
This is what we call now Sisig. It is best with sunny side up egg cooked over a sizzling plate! Yummy!
