There are two kinds of Pinoys when it comes to eating sinigang.

First, or probably, the most common are the soup monsters who are usually the culprit to the sinigang soup drought. They would love to stuff their plates with a tremendous amount of soup to the point that the rice is fully soaked before chowing down.

Second, are the pa-sosy type, which is my group. We love to get a separate bowl and a plate of rice. We will just drizzle our plate with enough soup to wet a part of our rice and then will top it with the ingredients. Then, we’ll eat. We also love sipping soup while chewing.

Let’s all admit – we curse rainy days. We can’t go outside, our children can’t play, and it’s hard to go to our work and school.
