When my boyfriend from college introduced me to DCM2V Tapsihan back in 1997, the place left a small spot in my heart. Not because I was with my boyfriend (oh hi, Vince!) but because the tapsi tastes really special.

Fast forward 2011, I went back there again, this time with my family and my sister. The place is still how I imagined it to be – quiet and peaceful despite its near-highway location The place looks deserted because we got there on a weekday and on a non-peak hour, 4PM! But at night, it’s jam packed with cars and people.

I half expected their tapa recipe to have changed over the years but no, it’s still soft and yes, it still melts in my mouth It still gave me the nostalgic feeling of eating the tapa at home whenever there’s a free bingo going on.

Tapsilog is one Filipino breakfast favorite that, I guess, will never be forgotten. Every Filipino I know always look forward to eating this all-time favorite dish
