Sinigang is a famous super sabaw[1] among Filipinos for its sour and savoury flavour. The sourness of the soup comes from tamarind, which is a fruit that is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine. Tamarind gives the soup its distinctive tart flavour, which is balanced out by the savoury taste of the meat or seafood that is used in the dish.
Sinigang[2] is also unique because it can be made with meat or seafood, including chicken, pork, shrimp, and fish. This flexibility makes it a popular choice for home cooks and professional chefs. In addition, Sinigang is relatively easy to make, and it can be tailored to individual taste preferences. For these reasons, Sinigang remains a popular dish in the Philippines.
