Am I the only Filipino who's not a fan of sinigang?

really? I love sinigang - pork sinigang or fish sinigang! I love it really sour... That is stange, how come you mistakenly thought that sinigang was a spoiled nilaga? The ingredients are different... In nilaga there is no raddish, okra, egg plant, kangkong... sinigang doesn't have carrots, cabbage, potato, sayote... Anyways, at least now you know... But I suggest, if your husband is asking or requesting for a sinigang better prepare a sinigang not nilaga... If you don't like the taste of sinigang really,then make another viand - prepare two so that you don't need to push yourself in eating the sinigang... I am sure your husband would be very happy if you grant his request...

I! Well not that I don't like it, I do, but I just don't see it as my all-time favorite. There are many dishes in the Tagalog regions that I don't actually appreciate being a bisaya myself. Well I go mostly for something which is a bit sweet. Like adobo sweetened with a bit of brown sugar or honey, or barbecue smeared with spicy-sweet sauce....

Oh my. I love sinigang- pork, beef, fish- I love their variety! This is my favorite vian. I so love the vegetables that come along with it. The sour taste, especially if it is made with natural tamarind, or cook by my grandmother, hmmm it is to die for. I guess you're just not a fan of sour soup, since you eat other sour foods. You don't like the sour soup on rice. Yeah, I remember, I stayed in Cebu for a month, and I remember dining at Sutukil, they have available sinigang menus for fish there. And my other Cebuano friends also loves sinigang as well.

Hahahahaha. You're not the only one. My boyfriend hates Sinigang! Me on the other hand just loves it and could actually eat sinigang every single day. That's why when I cook for the two of us, I would cook sinigang for me, and then have something fried for him. LOL. He just hates it, I have no idea why, I guess he doesn't like sour foods.

Hello watergirl, Well, it's a Filipino Cuisine and i ate it often when there's no food to cook. frankly, i also feed some of my pets with it adding some rice on the sinigang soup. i have ate sinigang since i was a kid since my mom had visitors a lot often back then. as for you, it's part of growing up, you should get used to one of the dishes someday. as for i don't eat liver unless it's cooked in dinuguan.

For me it depends on what was used for its sour taste. I will eat it unless they use santol or guava. I really don't like the taste but my parents and siblings love them.

I like the soup of the sinigang better than of tinola. I love the sour taste, especially the sampalok and kalamansi types. Maybe you should just try to venture out on the other kinds of "pampaasim". Maybe you'll find something that you'll like.

Well I understand that since you were not used of eating it in the first place that is why you don't like the taste. My mother is an Ilokano so basically her tongue is already used of eating veggies and bagoong (sauteed shrimp paste or the other one which is brown in color). If I ask her that we eat bread or pastry or something new to her taste, she will really refuse to go to that restaurant. She would still stick to eating the food from the North. The tongue really knows , if what we eat is palatable to us or not. But when we get to eat that certain food again and again, we will get used to it. Like for example, before I don't seem to eat chilly or spicy foods. But ever since I married an Indian, I really adjusted my taste bud into their spicy and chilly dishes. Now, I am the one who is good in cooking their dishes and hubby complements me of preparing the dish very well, thanks to him because he is a good teacher and chef

I don't like sinigang too, but only because I'm so tired of eating it. People in my house like it so much that we often have it for lunch and dinner. I liked it the first time that I ate it, but now I'm so sick of eating it. I'd rather eat tuyo or salted egg with fried rice.

Sinigang is a dish popular in the Tagalog region. Since I was born and raised in the Metro Manila, my taste buds are accustomed to this sour soup. But when I moved to Cebu, I learned that tinola was more popular than sinigang. So suddenly, no more sinigang on Sundays. Anyway, recently I got to taste this dish again after a long, long time. And of all places, I was served sinigang in Japan. Apparently, my taste buds still remembered the experience so I enjoyed my meal really well.

It's seems ironic since the one who introduce me to sinigang is my wife who is a Cebuana :) I was raised and brought up here in Mindanao specifically in the province of Agusan del Norte. Like you the soup that I used to was just a plain tinola. Yah I love soup very much. Although my first try of sinigang was not really good but I liked it later on.

hi watergirl! of course you're not the only filipino who doesn't like sinigang. just like, not all filipinos love adobo, or not all koreans like kimchi, or not all italians like spaghetti. you get the picture :) me personally, i love sinigang na baboy, but not so much a fan of seafood sinigang, except, maybe shrimp.

How can you not like sinigang?! Oh my God! I like it very much specially if sampalok is used. I like it with pork or bangus, or beef. Well, everybody has its own likes and dislikes. no problem with that :-)

I love sinigang!:) I just love sour food. However, if your hubby asks for something similar to sinigang, try cooking TOM YAM. In my opinion it almost feels like sinigang, but it's not too sour. You may add a little lemon to let it have a little citrus taste, but still it's not too sour. Try it! There are Tom Yam packets that you can buy at the local supermarket.

really? oh.. I love sinigang! All variants/kinds of it. I rarely know anyone who doesn't like it. My favorite is siningang na hipon (shrimp cooked in tamarind) I also love pork sinigang.

I was not a fan of sinigang too, and chicken adobo, right until I ate Sinigang Corned Beef at Sentro. I suppose its a matter of taste. I was brought up in the Philippines eating the same kinds of food that you do, but I still prefer pasta. Why? I really do not know since we only eat pasta for merienda (snacks).

I like sinigang too but not really a fan of it.

Don't worry. I'm not a fan of sinigang also because it is too sour for my taste. As for my kids, they extremely love this this whether it is pork, chicken, shrimp, or fish. Don't know why but they are addicted to it. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if they are really my kids or got switched at birth. Hahaha!

Well,thats odd, ilove sinigang especially when you have patis with calamansi and sili....well maybe its because you are not used to sinigang =)

Hahaha. I think the "spoiled nilaga" comparison is spot on. :p I love sinigang though. The fattier the pork, the better! :p Talk about healthy living huh? :p Speaking of Tinola --- my wife has this weird trip. She eats tinola with... wait for it... wait for it... ketchup. :p hehehehe. She swears it's delicious but I never tried it. I guess to each his own eh? :)
