    One time we ate in a restaurant and they used strawberries as a souring agent. At first I thought it was an odd choice to use because we are used to see strawberries as a dessert ingredient rather than a savory one. But it tasted really good!!! 💗🤤💗🤤💗

    Love this ep! Finally!!!! Namiss ko si Chef Martin!

    You guys should try cooking sinampalukan. It's one my favorite sour soup next to Sinigang na Hipon.
    Will it be a fun ep to cook all the different types of sinigang… Sinigang na baka, baboy, hipon, bangus, manok (sinampalukan) aaand then let random kids try it and let them decide which is the best sinigang? hahaha! And for fun make it super sour para katuwa the kids' expressions hahaha!

    The ilonggos are raving about batuan but are totally clueless about the endangered state of this tree.

    Ilonggos should start cultivating and preserving this species and not just harvest from the wild.

    I don't use these sinigang mix concoctions. There are tamarind pastes out there, usually produced in Thailand, that contain at leat 65% tamarind, which offer a more natural and nice sourness. Using the fresh tamarind could be a little bit too acidic especially the after taste. Batuan could be a nice souring agent but it's hard to find outside the Hiligaynon regions, especially now that nobody cultivates it and the only source are wild trees. According to the latest survey, the Batuan tree is considered endangered and may disappear as soon as 40 years.

    Maybe somebody should study the cultivation of batuan and try to market it. This will ensure the survival of this tree and will provide a unique filipino ingredient.

    Using the sampaloc leaves instead of the fruit would make less gritty I think. They’re harder to find but definitely worth it! Sinampalukan is my favorite kind of sinigang~

    It's rare to find gooseberries. But that's one good souring agent too. We call it "Bangkiling." When I was young, there's plenty around our place and used it in sinigang as well. And because of this episode, I'm gonna explore more souring agent including premium ingredients like green kiwi, granny smith apples, and plum (skin's quite sour and turn the broth purple 😂)

    Hi Erwan! I know it sounds odd but can I request for a video of a healthy meal plan for a week or two considering the food content for a PCOS person. Thank you and very much appreciated, hope you can soon. 😊
