Sinigang!!!! I travel often for work, and when I’m returning from a trip where I had little or no rice, I make sure that there’s sinigang waiting for me at home. I grew up loving sinigang na baboy and sinigang na kanduli (the ‘utak’ was always reserved for me), but now I am completely in love with sinigang na corned beef (Sentro’s version of course). Heaven on earth. =)

I am so glad Ginataang Kalabasa made it to the list!
I didn’t think it was popular, but it is certainly one of MY favourites! When I started to cook for myself, it was the first one I learned to cook. I love Kare-Kare as well, but between the two, obviously Kare-Kare is more labor intensive to cook.

Btw, where’s Liempo!!??!!???

Fascinating how filipinos have a different variations on the essential fried fish side dish: the tomato-onion salad. Mixed with lato, radish or kangkong in vinegar, its often overlooked yet always a staple in all inihaws. I also love pangat, paksiw na isda and ginataang alimango from mother’s hometown in Samar.

Yes! Sinigang is it. Its my favorite-perk-my-tummy food after a long hard day at work or play. If its Sinigang pork or beef:Definitely with lots of hot steaming rice,patis and perhaps fried fish like daing na bangus or galunggung on the side. The only major argument i have with my mom when preparing this dish is the issue of sourness. I love it spikingly sour while hers is rather so-so for my palette.

I think my daugther will not agree that Adobo is not No. 1, She once told me, while i am cooking adobo, “Adobo, How do I love thee, let me count the ways” and she likes it with lots of garlic.

For me, “Sinigang Na Baboy ” is still no. 1, but as I grow older, I have to change my eating habits, I now go for Sinigang na Ulo ng Salmon, with lots of vegetables. My daugther likes it too, especially if i put broccoli and baby bachoy.

Hi. I re-read the Top 10 post and discovered your link to Pinikpikan. I had it in May of 2000 at Cafe by the Ruins in Baguio. I’ve lived abroad since then but I can’t forget how delicious the broth of this soup was, how it glided like silk on my tongue:) After our meal, I was taken aback when my husband described to me how “bugbog-sarado” the chicken had to be for the broth to be that flavorful. Great tasting food won… I’ll have it anytime. At least, the chicken would not have died in vain… it became glorious soup!

Btw, I discovered I have a namesake who comments on your wonderful blog too:)

am quite surprised crispy pata didn’t make the list. And yes, I definitely agree that tapa and paksiw na lechon should have rated much higher. But I agree 100% with the first two on the list—my all-time favorite Pinoy combination has always been sinigang na baka, dry-type chicken pork adobo and steamed alimango,talangka or halabos na hipon, with lots of steamed rice and dips of suka with lots of garlic and sili, and patis and kalamansi with sili.
