aling lucing's sisig

a real kapampangan knows this. aling lucing became popular with her sisig recipe. sisig is made with pork head boiled, grilled, chopped then seared on a piping hot plate.

aling lucing's original shop is located near the "riles" (railroad tracks) at angeles, pampanga. their shop there is still going strong and went into restaurant franchising.

we visited their shop in makati to reminisce the flavors they have made.

sisig is still good as always. a lot of variations have evolved from the original. my mom told me that the authentic kapampangan sisig is made with boiled pork, chopped, and marinated in vinegar, salt, chopped onions and chili.

my version is to boil the pork, grill, fry and serve it on a hot plate. mixed with the pork are chopped grilled liver and boiled pig brains. yup. pig brains. you get them here locally. pork is marinated in vinegar, chopped onions, and chilli. i'll blog my sisig when i make one.

aling lucing's sisig is similar but they serve them on a hot plate with chili only as an option. they have modified the preparation to adjust to the likes of the city slickers. they serve it with rice and a selection of other viands.
