Sinigang
"
What it is: Hot and sour soup.
"Why it’s awesome: Tamarind paste and calamansi (or Philippine lime) juice infuse the broth with its signature sour flavor. This version calls for salty chunks of pork and a splash of creamy coconut milk to round out things out."

What it is: A creamy, not-too-sweet dessert made from cassava root and coconut milk.
