A doctor who owns a tapsilogan? Or somebody who is an expert in cooking tapsilog (brief explanation for the non-Filipino reader: meal consisting of tapa, fried rice, and egg) that s/he is called a doctor? Or is it just pure wordplay? That's what One Valenzuela is thinking of before they headed to Dr. Tapsi one Sunday morning.

Dr. Tapsi is a humble tapsilogan located at Barangay Veinte Reales, just a brief walk from McArthur Highway. Since One Valenzuela seldom goes to this part of the city, she learned about this 24 hour tapsilogan through several recommendations on Facebook.

| What's unique about this place is that they offer tapang kabayo (horse).Check out their "Pangarera" meal. |

Since Dr. Tapsi's Pangarera meal was not available during One Valenzuela's visit, she settled for the Superstar meal which includes the traditional beef tapa. It's good, though she hopes that she could ask for an extra serving (ma-ulam person here). The atsara is a winner too.

Before leaving Dr. Tapsi, One Valenzuela's question on where the tapsilogan got its name was answered. According to Nanay Baby, the name of the place came from Farish's group of sacristan friends. They met a dermatologist who eventually became their comrade too. Well, One Valenzuela is hoping to add more details to this very short account from Farish, the person behind Dr. Tapsi since the story seemed as interesting and unique as having some tapang kabayo for breakfast (or lunch...or dinner).
