i think the bad smell comes from onions. my mom suggests not to put onions when cooking sinigang sa bayabas. the taste is great without the bad smell!

Marketman nice soup…my favorite also…but have you tried the comfort soup of true blue blooded ilocanos? Its the Ilocano style Pinapaitan(with pinispis as bittering flavor)!!!
you can use baka, kambing or kalabaw internal organs with meat as your ingredients…
I suggests you must try ang try to come up with you pinapaitan soup marketman version…Enjoy…

this dish is usually appreciated by people of luzon as opposed by the inhabitants of the visayas or mindanao. hence the comment on its “offensive” aroma. this dish reminds me of my childhood. my mom is from mindanao but my dad is from luzon. so she cooks it but has never appreciated the dish. my dad and siblings, on the other hand ate it with much gusto! the pork version with siling labuyo is tops! perfect when served with dried pork adobo on the side! YUM!!!

for a totally different take on this, you can add crabs in the soup and even chicharon…it will add another dimension in taste…also, add squash flowers to the soup…try it MM next time…

nice sinigang sa bayabas recipes from all of the commenters. i remember our family version is to salt the bangus overnight before adding them to the guava broth to cook. we include only the head and the middle cuts where the belly is. the salting gives the sinigang a pleasant taste. we add sili leaves to the hot broth before serving and yummmy.
