Sizzling Sisig is actually originated in Pampanga and a very popular pulutan (delicacy? – to correct me you can use the comment section of this post :) ) in the Philippines. Sisig is a Kapampangan term which means "to snack on something sour".It also refers to a method of preparing fish and meat, especially pork head , which is marinated in a sour liquid such as lemon juice (Kalamansi) or vinegar, then seasoned with salt, pepper, chilly and other spices.
