If we are to base this on pizza toppings, this will be called Hawaiian Shrimp Soup ala Marketman. =)

my cousins in the province pluck alibangbang leaves from the yard and use this as souring agent for fish. :)

interesting take on sinigang, i didnt know prawns and ham can work together in a ham bone broth and with pineapples. Seems like pizza minus the bread cheese and tomato sauce. :) Have a wonderful day MM.

it reminds me of the vietnamese catfish in sweet and sour soup…it’s like sinigang na kanduli with pineapples, bean sprouts, lots of celery, tomatoes and a few sprigs of cilantro leaf…i’ve tried cooking it once with canned pineapples and it’s good…

If you are into sinigang, try LUBAS leaves. I don’t know how else it is called in other places (it may even be your alibangbang leaves) or where else it may be available. we get ours from our farm here in Camarines Norte (northernmost province of Bicol).

Aleli, actually I found alibangbang leaves at the Nasugbu market last August, post here. I just haven't made a soup flavored with them yet...

Young alibangbang leaves are less sour than young tamarind leaves. Good luck finding this ingredient in Manila. I think what people remember about alibangbang is that tacky girlie bar (now burned down) in Cubao.

That looks really good.
I love to eat.
I only wish I knew how to cook…

Gigi, I should do a post on Marketman sightings… folks as far away as General Santos City swear they have seen me in their local markets when I was several provinces away…heehee. But yes, we were at Salcedo yesterday and madly trying to fill our shopping list of ingredients for an extended trip to the sea shore soon…

Would have exclaimed strange if it weren’t for my “encounter” with Cafe Bola sinigang na lechon that had ripe watermelon slices. It was super super good! So your fruity soupy fix doesn’t strike me as odd! Bravo for this experiment! Confident and thought-provoking. Btw — MM, I spotted you yesterday with Mrs. MM @ Salcedo Market but I was busily snorting my chicken barbecue and Bacolod lumpia breakfast! :) You looked intense and in your element!
