Originating from Pampanga, a province in the Philippines. There is no definitive origin of the name, thus there is no Sipo egg in Tagalog literal translation, though the Sipo meaning in Tagalog is ‘cold’. The key ingredient in most sipo recipes are the quail eggs, shrimp or ham, with a mix of vegetables, usually carrots, peas, corn, or more, depending on the household like mushrooms, potatoes, and leafy greens. The dish varies from the choice of meat as well.
