    This is 100% legit Filipino, sure his style of sinigang will differ from other people/regions but what makes it legit is the fact that his wife said "don't just do spam and eggs" even though that is deadass what every filipino does when they want a quick meal. It's either that or Libby's canned corned beef or yeah the can of sardines. My family uses the Victoria brand. If you don't wanna cook at all though, tuyo, or just sprinkled with soy sauce over hot white rice (although everything I just mentioned is eaten with rice). Like i think his wife has the same mentality as my mom "don't do that! It's too simple. Everyone can fry an egg and spam. Show them an actual meal!" Because as Filipinos you always want to make sure your guests eat.

      No. Spam is usually eaten by middle class to rich Filipino families. And since majority of families in the Philippines are not that financially comfortable, it’s safe to assume that not every Filipino eats spam for a quick meal.

    11:30 at night 5 days a week if he’s full time. My shift ends at the same time I hate it 😂😂😂 I hope he’s doing okay though. Sucks that us closing crews at restaurants don’t get much daylight time. I don’t mind the night but it gets depressing after awhile.

    Engaged to a Filipino nurse, and spam and eggs are a staple. I use banana ketchup on most food now too.
