Food Trip Friday #18 - Sinigang Na Baboy (Pork In Sour Broth)



I am joining Mommy Willa on this "Food Trip Friday" meme for a reason that I want to challenge myself to try something new food at least once a week in order for me to learn to cook.

When I was still in the Philippines, Sinigang na Baboy (pork in sour broth) was one of my favorite dish. I have been dying to eat that food when we were still in Michigan. A month ago, we were at one of the Filipino Fast Food here in Merritt Island, and saw that they have Sinigang na Baboy (pork in sour broth). I was so happy, bought one serving of it and took it home with me. One serving (one small bowl) was $5.00, and to somebody who miss it very much, it was not enough.
.
A week later, my Filipino friend/neighbor went to Orlando and saw a Filipino market, bought a bag of kangkong, gabi (yam) and everything else that was needed, made Sinigang na Baboy (pork in sour broth) and invited me and my husband over dinner at their house. It was so good. Surprisingly, my husband liked it, that it challenged me to make Sinigang na Baboy (pork in sour broth) for our dinner, too.
.
So, I did. With the help of Mama Sita's, I did. Although I did not follow all the ingredients that is recommended, and have it customized to what we want in it, but it turned out great that my husband and I really enjoyed it. He loves Filipino foods and I love him even more for that. :)
