EN: dried or cured meat (usually beef)
The undisputed king of the -silog breakfast empire (Tapsilog = Tapa + Sinangag + Itlog). It's that savory, slightly sweet, garlicky beef that makes you forget you have an 8 AM meeting. The perfect cure for a hangover or just a regular morning.
From Spanish 'tapa', which means 'lid' or 'cover', but in the Philippines, it evolved to mean cured meat, possibly from the method of preserving.
When someone says 'tapa' in a food context, they almost always mean beef tapa.
🇵🇭 Paborito kong almusal ang tapa na may sinangag at itlog.
🇺🇸 My favorite breakfast is cured beef with fried rice and egg.
