. If it was really that good why the need to dress it up with an egg or mayonaise. For Sisig to regain legitimacy, it needs to be authentic. Meat from the head of the pork is sold on BBQ sticks. No one talks about it. It has a name and it is very cultural, the masses can actually afford to buy it. It is basically sisig on a stick. But it is significantly cheaper. Sisig is grilled. Sadly in a lot of places it is friend and pork belly or minced pork is used.
