Best Sisig
in Manila
Sisig is the ultimate Filipino bar snack (**pulutan**) and a masterclass in texture. Traditionally made from chopped parts of a pig’s face (snout, ears, and jowls) that are boiled, grilled, and then sizzled on a cast-iron plate with onions, calamansi, and bird's eye chilies. The defining characteristic is the **'Textural Contrast'**—it should be a mix of chewy, soft, and shatteringly crispy bits, all tied together by the acidity of the calamansi and the richness of the rendered fat. While modern versions often add a raw egg or mayonnaise for creaminess, purists prefer the dry, citrusy, and savory Kapampangan style. The trap is overly rubbery fat or a "mushy" consistency that lacks the essential grilled char. Expect to pay 200–400 PHP.
