As a Filipino Mexican, I was always torn between eating Mexican and Filipino food. There was one point where I had no access to Filipino food and I always find myself craving for it everytime. Filipino food truly has a special place in my heart.

Yes! You've discovered the breakfast that leaves the US breakfasts, the UK full breakfasts (they vary among England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.), and the European continental breakfast all far behind. The Filipino breakfast! I admit I'm a white guy from the US, but when I discovered this Filipino breakfast, I knew I'd found a better breakfast. Yes, there are other excellent breakfasts out there. And, I, for one, am eagerly waiting for Joshua to tell us about them. Hurray! Keep up the good work! And thanks to Christian for helping you out! 👍👍😋😋

I grew up on an island in Alaska where the predominant culture wasn't just native, it was Filipino. So I grew up eating some incredible foods. This really hits home since the only thing people usually think of with Filipino food is lumpia (which is great!)

As a Mexican American who looks Filipino to most people who are Filipino. During my college years I was living at a home for months who are Filipino family and the first thing I learned to cook was rice. The very next day we cooked the same rice for breakfast with a lot garlic. The same years I was able to express and enjoy many food from the Philippines.

this is impressive josh making tocino and longanisa is labor intensive. people can always see how you make your homework in every cultural dish that you do so you dont offend other people. job well done mate!

Whoa!

You already hit 8.44 million subscribers!

Belated congratulations!

Historically garlic fried rice had some coarse or fine ground pepper also. Probably was made to do without nowadays because of the cost.

We tend to use the used-oil from the tocino or longganisa when cooking fried rice because it will add flavor to your fried rice. :)

Made the Filipino breakfast for dinner tonight. OMG! Thank you Josh, this is spectacular. Whole family wants this regularly.

Video missed to mention, in the Philippines we call this breakfast item "-silog" That is:
1) "Si" for SInangag- the garlic fried rice
2) "log" for itLOG- for the fried egg
And 3) add the protein, as for what was presented was tocino & longanissa. LONG-"silog" for longanissa, or TO-"silog" for tocino.

So in the filipino book this combination of tocino, longanissa fried rice & egg is way up the ranks of being extravagant. We dont have a name for it. LOL

Other breakfast food combination for SILOG are:
HOTsilog- for hotdog
TAPsilog- for tapa
HAMsilog- for obviously HAM
CHICKsilog- for fried chicken (also check out the song named chicksilog)
STEAKsilog- for burger patty smothered with gravy

Other items i forgot to include (as reminded further in the comments):
SPAMsilog- fried SPAM
CORNsilog- sautéed cornbeef in onion & garlic
DAINGsilog (DAsilog)- Daing - salted dried fish, and yes it smells like hell tastes like heaven
BANGsilog- Bangus (milk fish), usually deboned and fermented in garlic & vinegar

I'm amazed you made them how they are exactly made! Great job!

[TiberiusTheLivingLegend]

Our food here in the Philippines isn't really really known in the world but thank you for letting 7 million people see our food making them try out our food

You can also cook your rice (Sinangag) on the same pan you used to cook the longganisa and/or tocino to get some of that flavor on the rice as well. Good job on this

[kevinkchao]

I'm half Filipino and whilst on a trip there to visit my mother I was exposed to some of the best dishes I've ever tasted, all the way from restaurants to their streets everything is absolutely delicious. As a fitness guy myself, there have been many times I almost gave it all up to just eat.

[phil-amvlogsi]

There are various viands that you can add to your Silog (fried eggs and garlic fried rice) aside from the Tocilog ( tocino) and the Longsilog (longaniza). You can as well have Tapsilog (marinated beef tapa), , Bansilog (Fish called bangus or milkfish, also marinated), Spamsilog. (with Spam) and Adobosilog ( with chicken or pork adobo). Some also use corned beef.

[myeahonline]

This is why “silogan” restaurants or menus are so popular here in the Philippines. “Silog” is the popular conjunction for “sinangag at itlog” or “garlic fried rice and egg” in English, which are the base elements of the dish. We just add the name of the protein at the start to distinguish the combinations (e.g. Longsilog for longganisa + silog). So simple yet so filling and satisfying.

[Karolyne]

Ok must respect to you Joshua. Really, the fact that you are giving Filipino and it's culture the attention is truly wonderful to see. As a half filipino it's hard for me to relate when there isn't that much buzz around the culture I'm a part of. To see this, I'm crying. Thank you!

[terribels]

FYI on Tocino/Longganisa = These are prepared in advance, so cooking time usually is faster. Grocery stores and Supermarket stores already sell ready-to-cook versions. But thanks for showing us how to do these from scratch.

4:24 I loved how he made his own tocino, as filipino basically (basically) rely on frozen foods soo..BUT IT WAS A GREAT TRY AND IM LOVING IT ALREADY :DDD
