Sinigang is not just for the Manilenos there are also other sour dishes that are considered sinigang or closely tasting like sinigang
KBL Kadyos Baboy Langka – The Ultimate Ilonggo Favourite where pork leg, kadios (type of beans) and jackfruit is used.
Paklay – Popular in Cebu and Davao this sour dish mainly consists of Pig and Beef Offal
Sinanglaw – A Vigan version of paklay using kamias to give it that tang
Pinapaitan – Similar to paklay but this Ilocano version uses Goat and/or Beef Offal with a bitter taste.
Kansi – The Ilonggo version of Bulalo and Sinigang combined
