No thermometer needed. Your tongue already knows if the sourness is right.
At Mama Lor, sinigang is one dish we never take off the menu. Some things aren’t optional.
Every Filipino household has a designated “sinigang tester.” Someone who tastes the broth, says “kulang pa” or “sakto na,” and no one questions it.
This is the anatomy of the dish that never needs a recipe card, just muscle memory. Pork, tamarind broth, radish, string beans, okra, eggplant, spinach, tomatoes, green chili — all going into one pot that somehow fixes everything.
Cold day? Sinigang. Bad day at work? Sinigang. Can’t decide what to cook? Sinigang always wins the vote.
Watch the scoop. That steam, that broth clinging to the pork — that’s the shot that gets people typing “omg” in the comments, and honestly, deserved.
Filipino restaurant Sydney. Filipino comfort food Melbourne. Sour tamarind soup done the way it should be.
Kain na. Sabaw’s ready.
