Sisig..the Monterey way

As I was reading my usual stuff on femalenetwork, I came across this forum about "sisig". These girls are talking about restos that serve yummy sisig.

Sisig, as everybody known came from Pampanga.

According to wikipedia. Sisig is a Kapampangan term which means "to snack on something sour". It usually refers to fruits, often unripe or half-ripe, sometimes dipped in salt and vinegar. It also refers to a method of preparing fish and meat, especially pork, which is marinated in a sour liquid such as lemon juice or vinegar, then seasoned with salt, pepper and other spices.

yummm, just by reading the definition..makes me hungry!..

As i read the comments on that particular thread..I noticed that a lot of them mentioned "Monterey sisig". So it made me think..Monterey has a resto already? Monterey is known for selling quality beef,pork and chicken. So not a surprise if they have good sisig ah!


I grabbed my bag and went to the nearest grocery. As I passed by the meat shop, I hurriedly looked for the sign Monterey..and there I found it! I asked the guy who was holding the Monterey sign. "Sir, Can I buy the Monterey Sisig?" the guy was surprised..."ma'am we don't sell sisig, we sell raw pork..but we have a recipe here how to cook sisig.

I felt so disappointed! I even planned to serve sisig for dinner... I left the meat section with a frown in my face. Suddenly, a girl from processed food section approached me and said "ma'am the Monterey sisig is here!" ..and yes! there is Monterey Sisig!
Ready to cook. 500 grams is already good for 3persons. So if you're planning a gimik at home,
better stock 10 more packs of Monterey Sisig.
cooking instructions:

1. allow frozen sisig to thaw out completely
2. NO NEED TO USE OIL. Transfer package contents in a pan
3. Cook over medium to high heat for 10minutes
4.Add chopped onions
5.Continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
6. ..get a sizzling plate! topped with egg and calamansi

I know what you're thinking?? ...what is this made of?:
Pork, Pork Liver, Vinegar, Calamansi extract, Soy Sauce, Spices, Iodized Salt, Monosodium Glutamate. If you're kind of health concious..uhmmm..check out the Nutrition Facts: Total fat 19g - 30; saturated fat 10g = 52; cholesterol 128mg = 43; sodium 904mg =38
I don't think I can ever serve this to my parents who are hypertensive..tsk tsk too bad.

At last! I tasted it...yummmmm!! One of the best sisig I ever had.
