description Longsilog Overview

Longsilog is a Filipino silog breakfast composed of longganisa, sinangag, and itlog: sausage, garlic-fried rice, and egg. The name is a portmanteau formed from the first part of longganisa and the words sinangag and itlog, following the naming pattern used for other silog meals such as tapsilog and tocino-based tosilog. It is served as a complete rice-and-protein breakfast, often with a fried egg.
