===Philippines=== In the Philippines, omelettes are known as ''[[torta]]'', usually encountered with the [[enclitic]] ''-ng'' ("''tortang''") indicating it modifies the next word (the main ingredient); e.g. ''tortang hipon'' = ''torta'' ("omelette") + ''-ng'' and ''hipon'' ("shrimp"), meaning "shrimp omelette". There are many types of ''torta'' which are named based on their main ingredients. They include: * ''[[Tortang alamang]]'' or ''tortang hipon''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.recipegoulash.com/recipes/crispy-tortang-alamang-or-hipon-recipe/#Crispy_Tortang_Alamang_Recipe|title=CRISPY TORTANG ALAMANG OR HIPON RECIPE|date=October 4, 2021|access-date=December 17, 2021|archive-date=December 17, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211217044613/https://www.recipegoulash.com/recipes/crispy-tortang-alamang-or-hipon-recipe/#Crispy_Tortang_Alamang_Recipe|url-status=dead}}</ref> – an omelette with [[krill]] or small shrimp.

A common cheap breakfast dish. *''[[Tortang dulong]]'' or ''maranay'' – an omelette, usually crispy, made with tiny fish from the family [[Salangidae]] known as ''dulong'' in [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] and ''ipon'', ''libgao'', or ''maranay'' in [[Visayan languages|Visayan]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Tortang Dulong Recipe |url=https://panlasangpinoy.com/tortang-dulong-fish-omelet-recipe/ |website=Panlasang Pinoy |date=18 August 2010 |access-date=June 9, 2020 |archive-date=June 9, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200609134805/https://panlasangpinoy.com/tortang-dulong-fish-omelet-recipe/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=15 Filipino Foods I Bet You Haven't Tried in the Philippines! |url=http://www.becomingfilipino.com/15-filipino-foods-i-bet-you-havent-tried-in-the-philippines |website=BecomingFilipino |date=4 March 2015 |access-date=June 9, 2020 |archive-date=June 9, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200609134918/http://www.becomingfilipino.com/15-filipino-foods-i-bet-you-havent-tried-in-the-philippines |url-status=live }}</ref> It is sometimes called ''[[okoy]]'', though traditional ''okoy'' is not an omelette, but rather a type of fritter made with glutinous rice. * ''[[Tortang giniling]]'' or ''tortang picadillo'' – an omelette with ground meat (usually beef or pork) and sautéed vegetables.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Merano|first1=Manjo|title=Tortang Giniling Recipe|url=http://panlasangpinoy.com/2010/06/14/tortang-giniling-omelet-recipe/|website=Pansalang Pinoy|date=14 June 2010 |access-date=February 12, 2015|archive-date=February 14, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150214194010/http://panlasangpinoy.com/2010/06/14/tortang-giniling-omelet-recipe/|url-status=live}}</ref> * ''[[Tortang gulay]]'' – an omelette with peppers, mushrooms, onion, and garlic. * ''[[Tortang kalabasa]]'' – an omelette made with finely julienned [[calabaza]], eggs, flour, and salt. * ''[[Tortang kamote]]'' – an omelette made with mashed sweet potato, eggs, flour, and salt. * ''[[Tortang sardinas]]'' – an omelette made with shredded canned smoked sardines (''[[tinapa]]'')<ref name="pcr">{{cite web |title=Tortang Sardinas ( Sardines Omelette) |url=https://www.pinoycookingrecipes.com/recipe/tortang-sardinas-sardines-omelette |website=Pinoy Cooking Recipes |access-date=10 December 2021}}</ref> * ''[[Tortang talong]]'' – an eggplant omelet with whole grilled eggplants.
