This year Special Filipino Dinner has taught me a few lessons. Filipino Food is still not as popular as the Asian cuisine. A few of my Fellow seniors asked me, Is Filipino Food Spicy? One thing I accomplished this week as a blogger was to educate and sometimes even inspire other through my daily Blogs; I have accomplished this and feel very
happy about it. May you continue reading my daily blogs. Again, your comments is very much appreciated.
“THE BEST SOUP IN THE WORLD (Sinigang)”, 2021
“The Filipino soup sinigang was named the #1 soup in the world in the TasteAtlas 2021 Awards. It received a rating of 4.63 out of 5 stars, beating other international soups like the Romanian Ciorbă de fasole cu afumătură. TasteAtlas recognized sinigang for its unique sour and savory flavor, which comes from a souring agent like tamarind.
• Recognition: Sinigang was voted the best soup in the world by the international food database, TasteAtlas, during its 2021 Awards.
• Flavor profile: It is described as a sour and savory soup known for its tangy kick, which can be adjusted based on regional or personal preference.
• Souring agents: The distinct sourness is often achieved using fruits like tamarind, but other ingredients like unripe mango, guava, or calamansi can also be used.
• Ingredients: A typical sinigang includes a sour broth with vegetables and a protein such as pork, beef, shrimp, or fish.
• Cultural significance: It is a staple comfort food in Filipino households, often served with rice and enjoyed on special occasions.” -
“Sinigang is a comforting sour Filipino soup that is a mix of your chosen protein, vegetables, and a souring agent–typically tamarinds. There is a variety of methods that you can cook sinigang using other sour ingredients like Biasong, (Citrus hystrix var. micrantha), Batwan (Garcinia binucao), Calamansi, and Kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi, or bilimbi).
