Pork Sinigang-Best Tasting Soup in the World

Pork Sinigang -a soup from the Philippines was recently rated by TasteAtlas💥as the best soup in the world. But it is not even listed in the CNN top 20 list of popular soups in the world nor in the Eatingwell.com top 10 popular soups. 

The Philippine Tinola, on the other hand also one of my most favorite soup is in the list of Eatingwell.com. Tinola is Filipino Ginger-Garlic Chicken Soup with Vegetables. I grew up savoring Chicken or Fish Tinola in the Philippines.

If you remember I posted an article last October featuring  Pork Sinigang during the Filipino-American History Month Dinner Celebration here at THD. Here's a photo of the menu.

Pork Sinigang is a delicious Filipino sour soup dish. The soup is made from any cut of pork along tomato, string beans, spinach, and tamarind and other vegetables ( bok choy and cabbage). For details read:

For additional details, why Sinigang was chosen as the best soup in the world read:

💥TasteAtlas is an experiential travel online guide for traditional food that collates authentic recipesfood critic reviews, and research articles about popular ingredients and dishes. Describing itself as "a world atlas of traditional dishes, local ingredients, and authentic restaurants", it features an interactive global food map with dish icons shown in their respective regions and purportedly contains nearly 10,000 dishes, drinks, and ingredients, as well as 9,000 restaurants. Lastly, my quote of the day:


Meanwhile, besides pork sinigang and chicken tinola,  three other soups that are popular in the Philippines are Batangas Bulalo, Lapaz Batchoy and Pancit Molo. 
Bulalô (Tagalog) is a beef dish from the Philippines. It is a light colored soup that is made by cooking beef shanks and bone marrow until the collagen and fat has been melted into the clear broth. It is mixed with corn and vegetable greens.

Batchoy, alternatively spelled batsoy, is a Filipino noodle soup of pork offal, crushed pork cracklings, chicken stock, beef loin, and round noodles. The original and most popular variant, the La Paz batchoy, traces its roots to the Iloilo City district of La Paz, in the Philippines.



Pancit Molo or Filipino pork dumpling soup, is a type of soup using wonton wrappers which originated from Molo district in Iloilo City, Philippines. It consists of a mixture of ground pork wrapped in molo or wonton wrapper, shredded chicken meat, and also shrimp.

Lastly,  For Chinese Dim Sum, I recommend CreekHouse In Walnut Creek, 1291 Parkside Dr.
