Sinampalukang Manok

Sinampalukang Manok is a sour soup dish composed of chicken , vegetables, and tamarind leaves. This chicken soup recipe is similar to Sinigang. The only difference is the use of tamarind leaves.

Some people say that Sinampalukang Manok is just another sinigang recipe. I agree in a way. However, I think that there are still some noticeable differences that gives both dishes their own identities.

Sinampalukang Manok is best eaten with warm steamed rice. I usually eat this with a dip composed of fish sauce and crushed birds eye chili. I personally think that Sinampalukang Manok makes me feel better.Every timeI catch cold or feel weak, a bowl of Sinampalukang Manok is all I needed to get back on track.

Does any one know where Sinampalukang Manok originated? I am trying to trace the roots of this soup dish, but I cannot find any solid information. It would be greatly appreciated if you can share some information.
