Sizzling Sisig

What Is Sizzling Sisig?

Sisig is the best known pork dish in Filipino cooking: chopped, seasoned pork and pig ears, grilled and then finished on a screaming-hot cast-iron plate so the edges keep crisping while it reaches your table. A squeeze of citrus, raw onion and chili cut through the richness, and an egg is stirred through at the last second to bind it all together.

At Mar's Sisig it is more than a menu item — it is the dish the restaurant is named after, and it is the plate that made the Ocampo family's Filipino kitchen a Winnipeg fixture. If you have never eaten Filipino food before, this is where to start.

How We Cook It at Mar's Sisig

Every order is chopped, seasoned and finished to order, so the plate arrives still audibly sizzling. The tangy, spicy topping is our own house blend, and the balance of sour, salty and heat is what regulars come back for. Owner and head cook Marson Ocampo has been making it the same way since the family opened their first Winnipeg location.

You can eat it straight off the plate, spoon it over steamed rice, or turn it into a full meal with garlic rice on the side. It travels well too — it is one of our most requested takeout and delivery orders across Winnipeg.
