From the smell to the presentation to the flavor - I have received honest comments from friends that sinigang is just not pleasant.

Sinigang can be made with pork, beef, or fish. You also throw in veggies such as water spinach, radish, okra, eggplant, string beans, etc. For the flavor, you use tamarind (or a tamarind mix) and fish sauce.

My question is this: if you're not from the Philippines, do you have something similar to sinigang? Have you tried this dish? If so, what can you say about it? Really interested in what you have to say!
