I think you are wondering why this recipe is called tapang taal? what does it differ from the usual tapa we are eating? First of all the usual tapa is made from beef and the tapang taal is made from pork. And the reason why it is called “taal” is the origin of this unique tapa. Taal is situated in the province of Batangas and it is where the famous taal volcano is located. A complex volcano in the middle of the Taal lake. This tapa is usually sold in the Taal wet market and there is no other kind of tapa you will see but this tapang taal. But you don’t need to go to Taal to taste this tapa, you can make this right in your own kitchen and you will be surprised how simple the ingredients are.

Thanks for the recipe, i think i will be able to save around. 1/2kilo worth of tapa. I’ve been craving for tapa but beef now is costly With this recipe I think i’ll be able to make one with P550/kilo of beef or P275 1/2kilo instead of buying ready made for P480 for 1/2 kilo. Will update my comment how my tapa went
Hi Erica, the beef you are buying is too expensive. Is it beef tenderloin you are buying? Anyway this tapang taal recipe uses pork instead of beef.
