Sinigang nga Bangrus

While sinabawan is the more basic Ilonggo sinigang where mostly tomatoes and onions make the dish, sinigang will always be my personal favorite. Just the sour broth alone would be a perfect partner for a cup of rice (usually it's cupS of rice). I even like it more with a lot of vegetables - radish, eggplant, string beans and kangkong, among others. Of course there's the bangrus with all its delicious belly! Yum yum...
