Abby loves sinigang. Unlike other children, she loves something sour and a bit spicy (just a bit). But we don't use tomato as souring agent, we use batwan instead.

I'm not a fan of sinigang sa isda coz I usually cook sinigang sa miso with ulo ng maya maya but I'm going to try this one.
Jennifer Hiles says
I just love seeing/reading about all these different recipes. I would love to try this but I'm not sure I would be able to find some of the ingredients. I guess I could always skip a few but I'm sure it won't be close to the same then.
