Sisig is a Filipino dish made from parts of a pig's face and belly, and chicken liver which is usually seasoned with calamansi, onions, and chili peppers. It originates from the region of Pampanga in Luzon.
Sisig is a staple of Kapampangan cuisine. The city government of Angeles, Pampanga, through City Ordinance No. 405, series of 2017, declared Sizzling Sisig Babi (Pork Sisig) as a tangible heritage of Angeles City.
Variations of sisig may include pork or chicken liver and/or any of the following: eggs, ox brains, chicharon (pork cracklings), and mayonnaise; although these additions are common nowadays, they are frowned upon by the traditionalist chefs of Pampanga as it deviates far from the identity of the original sisig.[13] Recently, local chefs have experimented with ingredients other than pork such as chicken, squid, tuna, and tofu.
Original sisig way back 1732 doesn't have mayonnaise and eggs because of the poor lifestyle.
