Pork Tapa (TapSiLog)

Sometimes I don’t know if I should love or hate weekends. My week-long diet has just been ruined because of my 2 days-off meal plan. Especially, we only have pork in the fridge, so I really have to squeeze-off ideas in my mind to prepare something out of ordinary from our usual menu.

I have thin slices of pork in our fridge and the idea of Tapa just pop-up in my mind. Mostly, pork Tapa is made by stir fry. It is generally very easy to prepare. And what makes Pork Tapa as something out of ordinary is that, people often eat Pork Tapa as breakfast and for now we will have it for dinner =D. And when we say Tapa it is commonly chained with the idea of TapSiLog (Tapa + Sinangag + Itlog). So, TapSiLog for dinner coming-up!
