Sinangag na Sinigang/Sinigang na Liempo – Kanin Club

Kanin Club started out as a humble restaurant in the province of Sta. Rosa, Laguna. Two of their best-sellers are undeniably the Sinangag na Sinigang and Liempo–a Sinigang converted into fried rice and liempo. Their rice has that familiar “sinigang taste” in it,  but the addition of tempura-fried vegetables and thin slices of pork belly gives it a nice new twist. It’s so good— you have to try it to believe it!
