The tapsilog consists of beef tapa (beef jerky) served with sinangag (fried rice) and itlog (fried egg). It started when Vivian del Rosario opened the first silogan place in Quezon City in the 1980s. At the start, customers were mainly jeepney drivers looking for a cheap place to eat. But, the tapsilog has come a long way. From offering simple tapa, the sinangag and itlog are now paired off with different kinds of viands and is now simply called silog meals. Cebu is already home to a number of silogans offering different silog meals to their customers. The following are some of the silogans in Cebu.
