Do you remember the first time you had sisig? Before it was even put down on the table, its aroma, wafting about with the hot swirls of smoke, had probably already reached you. Once on the table, it also probably continued to sizzle. You might have nearly burned your fingers when you picked up the halved calamansi which shared a position on the sizzling hot plate. A satisfying squeeze later and the juice squirted all over the diced-up meat.
Did you then splash on some soy sauce? Did you order it with egg? Did you have it with a pint of cold beer? Whatever version you may have first tried, it was something completely new. Smoky, salty, sour and fatty, it hit every delicious note. There’s nothing quite like sisig.
