That's amazing to hear!

SINIGANG is a Filipino soup or stew characterized by its sour and savory taste. It is most often associated with tamarind, although it can use other sour fruits and leaves as the souring agent. It is one of the more popular dishes in Filipino cuisine. The soup is usually accompanied by rice.

And a lot of variant... Can be Fish Sinigang, Pork Sinigang, Shrimp Sinigang....the mix vegetables added on it makes it more delicious and appealing taste. Shrimp Sinigang is my most fave.

I recommend Baguio, Baguio, on the Philippines’ Luzon island, is a mountain town of universities and resorts. Called the “City of Pines,” it’s particularly popular in summer due to unusually cooler weather. At its center is Burnham Park, with gardens and a lake. Nearby, Baguio Cathedral, completed in 1936, has a rose-hued exterior. The main thoroughfare is Session Road, lined with shops, restaurants and entertainment options

6:08 Yeah, there are jeepneys in BGC, but I believe their route is only limited somewhere at the Market Market mall, along Lawton Avenue, McKinley Parkway street, 38th street, 8th Avenue, then they would exit Kalayaan Avenue to get to the Guadalupe area. Basically, around the outer edges of BGC, I hope that makes sense.

There are several pocket cities that have been constructed the past decades and some are currently being cosntructed.

I like the way you two share your food and that you seem to have similar taste. The side comments on the video was hilarious! 🤪 Very impressed that Justin loved the sinigang. Try other varieties of sinigang using guava, miso, santol (cotton fruit) and with different protein source - salmon or prawns. Try Filipino dishes at a turo turo or carinderia. Maybe Aling Sosing’s in Makati?

Sinigang was voted as best soup in the world by Taste Atlas in 2021. Americans have a hard time appreciating it but Europeans for some reason like it. It is my favorite soup by the way. It is supposed to cool down the body on a hot weather :)

Manileños is what the locals are called. To truly experience the heart and soul of the Filipino culture, it is better felt by interacting with the local Filipino. Having said that, I suggest you go to the provinces and what one with call the rural areas. Feel free to ask your server/waiter to explain the dish before ordering the dish! Example: champorado is cocoa congee and is traditionally a breakfast meal. Enjoy your discovery of the Philippines!

Wow, that's a reasonable price for all that food! Champorado is traditionally a sweet chocolate rice porridge in the Philippines. It's eaten as a merienda or afternoon snack/dessert. The twist for the one you had is that it's an ube (Philippine purple yam) version of champorado. And the sinigang is traditionally made with a tamarind soup base to make it sour, but that one's different because it has watermelon. I've never had that before. Looks great!

Don’t expect to find salad in a traditional Pinoy restaurant. Salads ain’t part of the usual Pinoy diet. When you eat at an authentic Pinoy place expect the meals to be heavy and rice intensive. The food you had champorado is a local rice chocolate flavored porridge usually eaten for breakfast. Sinigang on the other hand, is a local sour soup with veggies together with pork or shrimp. The most common souring agent used is tamarind. In Manam they used watermelon to counter the sourness so compared to other sinigangs the flavor is much tamer than others.
