Sizzling sisig cooking contest launched

ANGELES CITY, Philippines   â€“ The city government will launch a contest that will showcase various ways to cook, serve and enjoy “sizzling sisig.”

Dubbed “101 Ways to Cook Sizzling Sisig,” the contest will be held on Aug. 12 at the Marquee Mall open grounds here, Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan said.

Pamintuan said “sisig” is a native Filipino dish, usually enjoyed by beer drinkers, made from parts of a pig’s head and liver and usually seasoned with chili pepper and calamansi.

The event is in support of the “One-Town-One-Product” project of the national government.

“Sizzling sisig would help Angeles define itself as one of the culinary centers, not only of the region, but the whole country,” the mayor said.

Pamintuan said the “sizzling sisig” cooking contest will be joined by 25 cluster groups, including day care workers and barangay nutrition scholars.
