sinigang

i love cooking.

the delicate process of slicing tomatoes amazes me. the tears when i peel onions actually relaxes me, (i slice onions most of the time when i feel like crying)

i have tried experimenting on my own recipe of sinigang around 3 years ago. and i was so surprised when the first batch of friends who tried it LOVED it!

this diet ruining recipe has created a lot of memories.
from my old apartment in cubao,
to my favorite batch of Outbound Representatives,
to Baguio when i decided to join my favorite Inbound team without anything but my laptop and my wallet,
to our house in laguna where my friends started drinking from 9 am 'till 6 am the next day,
to lea's apartment where i recently reconnected with dear old friends, and where our Thai friends first enjoyed a filipino dish,
to our house in manila where my dad and mom would say "saan mo natutunan ito?"

my sinigang has reached so many audience. and everybody is asking me what the secret ingredient is ( i usually just say it's the sampaloc and the gabi) a friend once said "kaya perfect ang sinigang niya, kasi perfect ang asim ng personality niya" LOL

but the real secret ingredient to this recipe is THEM.

the people who are very DEAR to me,

the memories built when we start eating are my most treasured memories. the laughs about something funny, the tears if there is something wrong, the jokes cracked "mid-lunok" that would make someone cough so hard... and everybody would be laughing their hearts out...

these are what i have in mind when i start preparing for the dish. cheesy na kung cheesy !!!

"my sinigang will never taste this good if eaten with a different company"

Thanks guys! Let's eat sinigang sometime!!!
