Lady Customer Laughs “Paksilog” at Local Eatery for Receiving “Paksiw, Rice and Egg”
A lady customer was shocked and amused after discovering that the definition of ‘Paksilog’ was different at a restaurant.
Recently, Patricia Gonzales, a Facebook user, shared a photo of her order from a local eatery. The post quickly went viral on social media, drawing a lot of reactions from the online community.
Gonzales had a funny experience when she discovered a different meaning for the word “Paksilog” at a restaurant. In the photo, it was clear that the dish labeled as “Paksilog” actually included watermelon, fried rice, and egg, rather than the expected pork dish with sauce.
Patricia was expecting to get a traditional meal called “Paksiw,” but instead, she received a combination of watermelon, rice, and egg. Her reaction amused many people, leading to a lot of comments and shares online.
The lady customer’s experience is a reminder of how sometimes, food names can have different definition depending on where you are, and it’s always good to check the details if something seems unexpected.

What is Paksilog?
Paksilog is a Filipino breakfast dish that typically consists of three components:
Paksiw: This is a type of Filipino dish made with pork or fish cooked in a vinegar-based sauce. The word “paksiw” refers to the method of cooking, where meat is simmered with vinegar, soy sauce, and spices.
Sinangag: This means garlic fried rice. It’s rice that has been stir-fried with garlic, giving it a savory flavor.
Itlog: This simply means egg. Usually, it’s a fried egg served alongside the other components.
So, “paksilog” combines these three elements: paksiw (or a similar dish), garlic fried rice, and a fried egg. It’s a popular breakfast choice in the Philippines, offering a savory and satisfying meal.
