Filipinos are known for their practicality, and this extends to their naming schemes. The word "tapsilog" is really composed of three parts.
Beef Tapa - a dried or cured form of beef, similar to jerky.
Sinangag - garlic fried rice
Itlog - egg
And there you have it. High protein, high carbs, moderate fat. All a recipe for a good start to the day. Now, the recipe is quite simple, but there are many variations which have been created. Taken from wikipedia:
