HAPAG: Your destination for comforting Filipino food during your Manila Ocean Park adventure

If you’re on your way to enjoy the exciting attractions at Manila Ocean Park with your friends and family in tow, food should be the least of your worries. After all, Manila Ocean Park is home to quite a number of gourmet eateries, the latest of which is its Filipino restaurant, HAPAG. The restaurant’s name is derived from Tagalog word which translates to “table” in English. In Filipino…

[ask-the-pearloftheorient]

hi po pilipinas!!! taga pinas ako!!! :) nagtatanong ako, anong sinigang nagagusto mo? baboy, isda, hipon, baka, o manok?

[Eng translation under cut]

Hi din!!! Favorite ko talaga yung sinigang na baboy na may sampalok! Pero, pag nagluluto ako para kay Indo pwedeng isda o baka. Oks lang din sakin kahit walang baboy, para sa boypren naman eh ^_^

Eng:

Anon: Hi po Pilipinas!!! ("Po" is used for politeness) I'm from the Philippines!!! :) I'm asking, what variation of sinigang do you like? Pork, fish, shrimp, beef, or chicken?

Piri: Hi to you too!!! My favorite is definitely pork sinigang with tamarind! But, when I cook some for Indo, fish or beef works. It's okay with me to not have pork, it's for my boyfriend anyways eh ^_^

Note: Sinigang is a sour soup dish

Jason Todd x Filipino! reader headcanons

A/n: i don’t care if this will be my most flopped post, I had to do God’s work

He would LOVE Filipino food

Jason is pretty open with food considering he has traveled frequently for work.

Being accustomed to seeing rice available even if it’s high in carbs lol. Started as a pancit (stir fried noodles) boy to a BIG garlic rice boy ever since you’ve introduced him to it.

Could see him really liking champorado (chocolate rice porridge) for some reason, since there is something so homey about it. Plus it’s not that sweet. He definitely have tried it with tuyo (salted dried fish) when you mentioned it but prefers it just the champorado alone.

Jason enjoys Jollibee most specifically the fried chicken, both of you have movie nights with a bucket on the coffee table with pineapple juice or alcohol. Would find Filipino spaghetti ‘meh’ cause it’s a bit too sweet for his liking but he wouldn’t mind it after a few more tries since there’s that child-like taste that makes it addicting.

Would 100% love lumpiang shanghai (Filipino spring rolls) and quotes as he explains it to Roy or any of his brothers ‘a way better version of Chinese spring rolls’, just like how you told him. He stops craving for the usual spring rolls if you guys go for Chinese take outs from then on.

Despite what the media depicts of having adobo (soy sauce & vinegar chicken stew), sinigang (tamarind stew) or ube hyped. He does think Filipino food is still very underrated compared to Thai, Chinese, Japanese etc.

Could also see him enjoying clear soup stews like pork sinigang (tamarind broth stew, though initially too sour for him comes to like it later on) & bulalo (clear soup with beef shanks & bone marrow) because of the homey taste versus the flavored stews but he definitely still enjoys them (also see him being a big kare- kare (peanut butter stew) lover by your influence despite not fully able to handle bagoong (shrimp paste) because of how pungent & salty it is, I think he would unconsciously get used to it.

Like every other man, he would be a sucker for San Miguel beer. He knew about it even before both of you were dating since there is a small Filipino town in Gotham. Considering he goes to different bars from time to time. He would enjoy the concept of food on sizzling plate but it would take time for him to actually try exotic street food specially Balut (duck embryo) lol. But he’s down for it!

Spicy White Boy

Canon- wise, he knows Portuguese and there are lots of similar words with Spanish. Which I’m sure he knows maybe the most basic and common sense ones; so Jason understanding a good amount of Tagalog shouldn’t be surprising but would baffle you when you find out he started learning bit by bit for you.

It is very impressive indeed, there are not a lot of good resources in studying it. However, Jason is a Wayne and if his father was able to learn Kryptonian. He would easily be in a level of fluency by time.

And being the intelligent simp he is. He would understand it in a good level in less than a year or two when both of you are pretty much ‘all in’ in the relationship. Especially when you brought up one time before you were both exclusive, that you were scared of the idea of your partner being left out in family events even if English is pretty much the second main language in the Philippines.

Though I feel he would have more confidence in trying to speak the language after a few more years including a few slangs cause he doesn’t want to handle the anxiety of being roasted by your family & friends even if he obviously has thick-ass skin.

You keep telling him that he has already won his parents approval (too fast) when he swoon them with just the use of ‘po’ and ‘opo’ the first time meeting them. Plus the very occasional whispers of ‘gwapo’ , handsome, or ‘matangkad’, tall, here and there would give him a mix of a sheepish ego boost.

Culture Differences

THE ‘NO SHOES IN THE HOUSE’ RULE is a mutual practice that both of you have no problem doing. It has always been a routine for Jason when he gets home and right away he would wash up just so he could be in bed with you.

The no shoes rule seems to be only followed by Alfred when he drops by with groceries for him in his apartment. It bewilders his siblings when he makes a big deal out of it even if they are just dropping by (uninvited as usual) but also more like so you wouldn’t get triggered if you get to meet them but frankly it triggers Jason more since he’s quite neat as a roomie (plus future hubby points too.)

THE FAMILY CULTURE in a Filipino household is usually a mix of chaos and laughter which Jason is quite familiar with but with your family he could tell how close all of you are from all the frequent get together celebrations or holiday trips.

But also he was told a few times from some neighborhood titos (uncle) when he was still in the streets that the number 1 rule when dating a pinoy (shortened term for Filipino) is if you’re ‘dating a Filipino you’re also dating their whole family.’ You even tell him when you show pictures of your immediate relatives and family, that it’s basically a whole village if you include your extended relatives which shocks him even more. You don’t even know who are all your aunts or uncles names nor your second cousins.

You gave him a heads up and number of pointers to Jason when you were both talking about your families plus the never ending group pictures and selfies that awaits. You get worried if he would be overwhelmed even if he tells you, “Doll, don’t worry you literally met mine” “It’s not the same.” With a kiss on your forehead and the cute pout he loves still present.

He immediately gets interrogated and compliments which takes him a back getting him a bit shy. Would vibe with your cousins and would be forced to sing. The karaoke machine playing till midnight, the never ending food being offered in his plate but also your baby cousins getting attached to him which you greatly adore. He would purposely annoy you with flirty gestures in front of your cousins just for you to swat his arm or his biceps multiple times getting a reaction from your comments mixed of ‘yiee’ or ‘landi!’(flirt).

SOUVENIRS in Filipino is pasalubong, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re materialistic it’s more of the thought when a person is away; may it be for family & friends.

Jason bringing home food or snacks when he goes out or something unique when coming from a long mission for you has been natural. You don’t expect him to always bring something home for you of course. Fortunately, Jason loves spoiling you and seeing you sulk when you rummage his duffle bag filled with used clothes and is helmet is too cute. Plus, this is definitely one of the first words he would understand besides the word ‘makulit’ (a neutral connotation of annoying, cheeky, and naughty combined.) and other cuss words.

The first time Jason brings you to the Wayne manor Alfred and Bruce immediately doesn’t see you as a threat especially with a bottle of wine or fruits as formalities. You panic a bit when both of you weren’t able to bring anything to the manor every time you go after that, he has to reassure you it’s fine. Though he appreciates and finds it adorable on how much his family becomes fond of you because of how genuine you are.

When you and Jason travel, you would be having an extra luggage for goodies and shopping and would get endless teasing from Jason. You would tease him back though if he needs something but you would also use his luggage as well if needed for everything you bought.

[dross-the-fish]

How’s your Erik ever traveled to somewhere like the Philippines?

If so, what’s his favorite dishes from there?

It wouldn't be a stretch to imagine he'd been to the Philippines at some point. I can see him liking sinigang for it's sour taste and adobo made with chicken or beef as he tends to avoid pork.

Best filipino ulam!??!!? 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

tumblr literally cockblocked me from this ask originally so have an unhinged version of my answer instead…

i would deepthroat anyone who can cook me good adobo. it has to be perfectly savory, salty, with a touch of vinegar.

if they want to ruin my bussy all they need is to add chillies.

if they want to ruin my bussy a n d my ‘chrysanthemum’ they can add other ulam (cause who tf eats with just one ulam dont tell me you’re poor ‼️‼️‼️) like beef/bangus sinigang or bicol express

and i will literally worship anyone who can make good kare kare

honestly since i grew up with indian/arabian/turkish food more im more inclined to those cuisines. there’s nothing better and more nostalgic than biryani with good meat and yogurt.

and so i’ll let anyone peg me if-

Sinigang

Sinigang is a sour soup native to the Philippines. This recipe uses pork as the main ingredient. Other proteins and seafood can also be used. Beef, shrimp, fish are commonly used to cook sinigang.

I grew-up eating pork sinigang at least once a week with a saucer of fish sauce and crushed siling labuyo on the side as my dipping sauce. During rainy days, I enjoy my sinigang meal with rice and a few pieces of fried tuyo. These are small fish that were salted and dried under the sun. It is a good combination as far as I am concerned.

How to Cook Sinigang

1. Extract The Flavors From The Tamarind

The old school method of cooking sinigang makes use for fresh young tamarind. This has to be boiled until enough sourness is extracted from it. In this recipe, I boiled the tamarind in 2 quarts of water for 40 minutes. It can be done for up to 1 hour for optimal results.

Once the flavors are extracted from the fruit, the solid parts of the tamarind need to be removed. Do this by running the water into a kitchen sieve or a strainer. I recommend squeezing the tamarind afterwards. You will be surprised on how much flavors are left in the pulp

2. Boil The Tamarind Broth And Cook The Meat

Traditional sinigang is cooked plainly by boiling all the ingredients together. Start by pouring the tamarind broth (in step 1) into a cookware of your choice. Deep and wide pots are perfect for this.

Boil the liquid and then add some onion and tomato. This will add flavor to the broth. This is also the proper time to add the pork belly. Make sure to cover your pot so that the liquid can boil quickly.

Skim-off the floating scums, add a bit of fish sauce for flavor, and then cover and simmer until the pork becomes tender. This can take between 45 to 90 minutes depending on the quality of the meat.

3. Add The Vegetables Sequentially

Not all vegetables cook at the same time. This is the reason why I am adding the sinigang veggies by batch.

The first batch of veggies to add are daikon radish and eggplants. Some people also add their string beans at this point if they want it to be extra soft later on. I prefer mine to be a bit crisp.

After 5 minutes of cooking in low heat (above simmering temp), add the long green peppers, string beans, remaining tomatoes, and okra and continue cooking for 3 minutes.

4. Season It And Then Add The Remaining Ingredients

There is one vegetable that needs to be added yet. I am referring to the water spinach. I personally add the stalk and leaves on the later part of the process to retain its freshness. It is important to serve the soup right away (while piping hot) for best results.

For this step, I added the stalks of the water spinach and seasoned the dish with fish sauce (patis) and ground black pepper (this ingredient is optional). Quickly cook it for around 2 minutes before adding the water spinach leaves. Cover and turn the heat off. You will basically be cooking the leaves using the residual heat inside the pot. Do this for 3 to 5 minutes. It should be enough for you to prepare the rice and side dishes on the dining table before announcing to everyone that dinner (or lunch) is served.

What fruits are used in sinigang to make taste sour?

The quality of this dish depends on the souring agent. These fruit ingredients can make the soup sour:

Tamarind

The most common and widely used is unripe tamarind. It is known as sampaloc in the Philippines and this ingredient is where the popular “instant sinigang mixes” are derived from.

Young tamarind has a higher concentration of tartaric acid, which gives it a tangy and sour taste. This sourness is especially pronounced in young tamarind pods or when using the pulp extracted from them.

Guava

Guavas can vary in flavor depending on their ripeness and variety, but they typically have a sweet and tangy taste. Some varieties of guava can be more sour than others, especially if they are not fully ripe. However, ripe guavas tend to have a pleasant balance of sweetness and tartness. Overall, while guavas can have a slightly sour undertone, they are generally known for their sweet and aromatic flavor.

Bilimbi (Kamias)

Bilimbi is a tropical fruit-bearing tree originating from Indonesia, though it is also present in other regions of Southeast Asia and certain Pacific islands. The fruit of the bilimbi tree resembles a small cucumber or green chili pepper, typically measuring between 4 to 10 centimeters in length. Its taste profile is characterized by a tart and sour flavor akin to that of a green plum or sour green apple.

In culinary practices, bilimbi finds frequent use in sour dishes, pickles, relishes, and preserves. It is also incorporated into various cuisines for curries, sauces, and salads. Given its acidic nature, bilimbi serves as a viable alternative to vinegar or tamarind in certain recipes. Furthermore, bilimbi holds significance in traditional medicine for its purported medicinal properties, believed to offer diverse health benefits.

Green Mango

Green mangoes are typically sour. The level of sourness can vary depending on the variety of mango and its stage of ripeness. Green or unripe mangoes have a firmer texture and a tart, tangy flavor due to their higher levels of acidity. As mangoes ripen and mature, they become sweeter and less sour, with a softer texture. Green mangoes are commonly used in various cuisines to add a sour or tangy flavor to dishes, such as salads, chutneys, pickles, and sauces.

Pineapple

Pineapple can contribute to making a soup taste sour, especially if it is used in large quantities or if the pineapple itself is particularly ripe and acidic. Pineapples contain natural acids, such as citric acid and malic acid, which can impart a tangy flavor to dishes.

The sourness of a pineapple is often balanced by its sweetness, creating a pleasant and refreshing taste. Some varieties of pineapples may be naturally sweeter or more acidic than others. Additionally, the way pineapples are grown, harvested, and stored can also affect their taste.

However, the degree of sourness imparted by pineapple will depend on various factors, including how it is prepared and cooked, as well as the other ingredients used in the soup. Overall, pineapple can contribute to making a soup taste sour, but its impact on the overall flavor will depend on the specific recipe and culinary preferences.

Cotton Fruit (Santol)

Cotton fruit, also known as santol, typically has a sour taste when unripe. However, as the fruit ripens, its flavor can vary. Ripe cotton fruit can be sweet with a hint of sourness, especially near the skin or closer to the seeds. The level of sourness can also depend on the specific variety of cotton fruit and individual preferences.

What is sinigang?

Of the many soups and stews that proliferate Filipino cuisine, it can be sure that sinigang has no rival. Many meals, both in childhood and adulthood, have been spent sitting in front of the familiarly flavorful broth. Its inviting aroma belies a flavor unlike no other — tart, savory, and refreshing, one can’t help but fall in love with it! With many heralding it as the national Filipino food, it comes as no surprise that its reputation has spread far and wide across the world.

Pork Sinigang Recipe

Indeed, in 2021, travel guide TasteAtlas proclaimed our humble dish to be the best vegetable soup in the world! This should come as no surprise to us, either. After all, who can resist the warmth and comfort that a bowl of sinigang brings? Although a staple so common in every household, knowing that sinigang will be the main course of the day can’t help but elicit feelings of excitement and delight. No matter the weather nor the season, sinigang stands both the test of time and climate. This dish brings pleasure wherever it finds a home, and Filipinos continue to relish in its sour, but yummy taste.

Where does sinigang come from?

A mix of tender meat, fresh spinach, string beans, and tomatoes, as well as a dash (or more) of savory fish sauce, make for the perfect combination in simmering and incorporating each unique flavor with each other. Powerful and poignant, sinigang is a Filipino native, through and through. Its name, sinigang, originates from the Tagalog verb that directly translates to “to stew” — sigang! Because of its Tagalog name, many presume it to be Tagalog in origin as well. This yummy meal has relatives in other regions in the country as well, to be sure — yet none are quite like this classic soup that many have fallen in love with.

Pork Sinigang Recipe

Again, sinigang isn’t a dish so much as it is a cooking method. This is why, like we mentioned earlier, there are a wide number of variations of this delicious dish! These include your sinigang na hipon, a favorite seafood variant. Here, tender and fresh shrimp soak up all the vibrant flavors of your beloved stew. It’s important to keep your shrimp perfectly cooked, so it’s much easier to peel the skin off later on.

sinigang

And for something a little more out of the box? Try this sinigang mix inasal na manok! Now, these are two dishes you wouldn’t commonly associate with each other. But the thrilling flavors of a sinigang broth, coupled with the smoky taste of inasal, makes this a winning combination. This twist on another Filipino favorite breathes life into your everyday inasal recipe. Sample it for yourself!

Sinigang Ingredients

Sinigang ingredients

Pork Belly – I am using 2 lbs. of pork belly for this recipe. This is the same cut of the pork that is used to make bacon. Aside from using pork, you may use beef, chicken, fish, and shrimp.

Young tamarind – This is unripe tamarind. It has a sour taste and is the traditional souring agent for this dish. Other

Water Spinach – Kangkong is the local name for water spinach. Make sure to wash this thoroughly before using.

String Beans – Sitaw, also known as snake beans is a regular component of this dish. Green beans (Baguio beans) can be used as an alternative.

Eggplant – Chinese or Japanese eggplant varieties are best for this dish. I am using 2 pieces for this recipe. Slice the eggplants diagonally or roll-cut it.

Daikon radish – Labanos is the local term for this vegetable. 1 medium sized daikon is enough for your sinigang na baboy. I consider this as an optional ingredient.

Long green pepper – Siling pansigang is a must have as far as I am concerned. You can substitute this with either Jalapeno or Serrano peppers.

Sinigang Alternative Ingredients

Sinigang na Baboy

This sinigang version makes use of pork belly. Any cuts of pork can be used to make it. Beef and fish can also be utilized.

I am using spinach in this recipe. It is actually an alternative ingredient to kangkong (water spinach), which is the most common type of leafy green vegetable used when cooking sinigang.

Sinigang mix is a powdered product that helps bring-in that good sour taste to sinigang. Old school methods requires boiling either fresh young tamarind or bilimbi for a long time until the flavors are extracted. It is your choice. It is a no-brainer, so I chose flavor and convenience.

Pork Sinigang

Tips & Tricks

Meat quality

The quality of the meat is an important factor to consider when cooking sinigang as it can affect your overall eating experience. Make sure to cook the meat until tender. You don’t want to challenge yourself by chewing the meat with all your might. Slow cooking or simmering the meat for 60 to 90 minutes (or longer as needed) makes it extra tender and also provides more flavor to the broth.

In addition, having moist meat is ideal. Fat plays an important role to this. Use either pork belly or pork shoulder to have this result.

Adding flavors to the broth

Onion and tomato brings-in flavor to the broth. Cook it during the initial steps. Some people like their tomato intact. If you are one of these people, I suggest to cook half of the tomato initially and add the remaining once the dish is almost done.

Working with available ingredients

You can still make sinigang even without all the vegetable in the list. All you need is pork, green leafy veggies, and the souring agent. Of course, water is essential for this recipe.

Sinigang for busy people

Busy people can use a slow cooker to cook sinigang. Make sure to add the spinach or kangkong only when you are about to eat. It is best to have these fresh.

Is sinigang really the national dish of the Philippines?

Though many make jokes and proclamations to the same effect, the truth of the matter is that sinigang is only the Philippine’s national dish unofficially. Regardless, some dishes may also rise to the challenge of national dish, and have separate camps of their own! Let’s take a look at some of them now.

pork sinigang panlasang pinoy

For starters, of course, you have sinigang’s topmost competition: adobo! Point blank, adobo is perhaps sinigang’s antithesis: where the latter is sour and tart and soupy, adobo is a salty, savory and saucy dish. The only thing they have in common is their use of juicy and tender pork belly as the main protein. Like sinigang, the term adobo refers to a general cooking method, and not necessarily one particular meal. To adobo something means to marinate it in a combination of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and peppercorn. These flavors intermingle so perfectly, you wouldn’t be able to tell one from the other. The result is, to be sure, a dish that is so umami you’d want to drizzle the sauce over your entire plate of rice!

What goes well with sinigang?

This is best served with a condiment composed of fish sauce and crushed fresh Thai chili pepper.

I grew up having salted fried herring (also known as tuyo) as a side dish for my sinigang. The saltiness of the fish complements the sour broth of the soup.

What is a substitute for kangkong?

Kangkong is one of the main ingredients for sinigang. It is recognized under names like water spinach, water morning glory, or Chinese spinach, is a verdant vegetable frequently incorporated into Southeast Asian cooking. With its delicate stems and leaves, it’s frequently prepared through stir-frying, steaming, or inclusion in soups and salads.

You can use the following as alternative ingredients: Spinach, Bok Choy, and Pak Choy.

Other popular Filipino dishes

An additional Filipino favorite would be the tasty lechon! Celebrations across the country just wouldn’t be a celebration without the presence of a gorgeously golden brown pig to complete it

Notes

Pork Belly – This is the best cut to use when cooking sinigang, in my opinion. The fat in the belly makes the meat moist which complements well to its tenderness. The other cuts of pork that I use are: pork shoulder, spare ribs, and pork neck bones.

Young Tamarind – Use only young tamarind if you want your soup to be sour. However, a combination of both young and ripe tamarind can be good too, especially if you like your soup to have a hint of sweetness.

Daikon Radish – This is an optional ingredient for sinigang.

Taro (gabi) – Adding taro to the dish will make the soup thicker. This is a version of the dish known as sinigang na baboy with gabi.

Ahhh domestic House Guest stuff below. I love my little plushies so much. Im playing dollhouse w both of them. 💗💗💗

🍰 Julianne likes cooking!! She just doesn't have all the energy to do it but she makes beef curry, salmon sinigang, bistek tagalog, and macaroni soup. There's a bunch of other things she likes but she'll keep it to those so Sam's dietary needs are met. She also bakes but then again time is so limited she can maybe only bake cookies once a month.

🍰 Sam does most of the cleaning for both house stays and apartment stays. Julianne does clean too but she's more on dish and bathroom clean duty than sweeping. They do have assignments though so it's at least fair for the both of them.

🍰 gwuhh ah makeup removal and massaging each other ...Julianne always keeps/brings ginger patches and herbal oils to relieve muscle and head pain..Sam keeps micellar water in her room so she can wipe off Julianne's mascara or eyeliner.

🍰 they watch TV most of the time together either watching reality TV or movies but they also just like parallel play. They also take turns reading to one another chapters of their favorite books. When Julianne has to tell stories in Elementary, she does the same at home before bed hehe

🍰 i dunno. Sam thinks she's only doing this so she won't be an object of pity to everyone after Nigel. But having this makes her feel better. Lighter. It's a strange feeling to have a body in your hands- untouched and not torn. Lovingly caressing it. Then it feels better to live this way than die alone. She remembers why she stayed with those girls. She remembers what its like to yearn but not to love wholly.

And life feels a lot more idyllistic this way.

Favorite food from your country/home cooked meal?

Rlly good question!

I don’t rlly eat much Filipino meals since I live in Canada (and instant ramen is the best), but most of the ones I have managed to eat are rlly good :D

My favourite would definitely be Nilaga! It’s a type of soup that usually has Beef and Bok choy in it. (I mean technically corn and carrots are used in it too from what I saw on google, but I grew up eating it with it only having those two)

Sinigang is a really close second (Basically the same thing except the beef is replaced with fish)

I prefer to keep my fruits seperate from my meals, so no I have not

Good on them for the innovation tho :o

Since Chris dated and married to Filipina reader, what's his favorite Filipino dish so far?

Sinigang. That’s the winner of his heart, especially when it’s super sour, full of vegetables and beef

Christmas 2024 in Kota Raya Ang Kota Raya ay ang nagsisibling tambayan ng maraming OFW sa Kuala Lumpur at karatig pook. Kung baga ito ang Lucky Plaza sa Singapore, Al Ramaniya sa Al Khobar, Al Dannah sa Dammam, at Batha sa Riyadh. Makabibili ka dito ng mga lutong bahay at meryenda tulad ng sinigang, bahay kubo, pansit, halu halo, chicharon, puto, pandesal at iba pa. Meron din mga produktong pinoy tulad ng TJ Hotdog, Argentina Corned Beef, Palmolive, Colgate, at marami pang iba. May mga Filipino din na ayaw pumunta ng Kota Raya. Alam mo ba kung bakit? Nasa Malaysia ka din? Naka punta ka na ba sa Kota Raya? Patingin nga picture mo sa Kotaraya. Paki comment. #OFW #Malls #Malaysia CYBERTITO – the uncle who loves information technology.
