Mama Sita's Sinigang sa Sampalok (ผงปรุงรสต้มยำมะขาม) – 50g

Opened the 50g packet and my whole kitchen smelled like my lola’s cooking—that sharp, real tamarind tang hit right away. Boiled it with pork ribs and kangkong, and the soup had that authentic sourness without needing any extra calamansi. Definitely stocking up on this mix.

The sourness is spot-on—exactly the unripe tamarind kick I was hoping for, and the 50g packet covered a full pot for our family dinner. It’s so easy; just boil the mix with pork and veggies and you’re done.

My sister in Manila said my soup tasted like it came from a carinderia, and honestly that’s the highest compliment I can give this seasoning mix. The sourness is properly tart without being sharp, and the 50g packet did a full pot easily.
