Sinigang na Bangus ala Abia

Another variation of Sinigang which is simple and easy to cooked. This is similar to sinigang na hipon (shrimp) and sinigang na baboy (pork) that has a sour broth. The milkfish cooked in a combination of rice washing, onions, tomatoes, vegetables and tamarind which gives a sour taste. BTW, I opt to use boneless Bangus (Milkfish) since we are all afraid of "tinik" :D
