Tips
Girl, alam mo ba? Para mas bongga ang sinigang mo, gamit ka ng fresh na sampalok ha? Super sulit! And oh, wag mo masyadong pakuluan ang gulay para hindi malanta, charot! (You know what? For a more amazing sinigang, use fresh tamarind, okay? Super worth it! And oh, don't overcook the vegetables so they don't wilt, kidding!)
