Filipinos love "sawsawan". Aside from enhancing the flavours of the foods dipped in it, most sprinkle this on top of rice to have a more appetizing time at the table. So what's my favorite sawsawan? It has to be calamansi based. I grew up dipping fried foods in calamansi-soy sauce mix that I had most of the time. Then I became sort of adventurous then that I placed siling labuyo (known as kutitot in local dialect) that it spiced up my foodie adventures.
But now I'm trying to minimize my soy sauce intake that the calamansi-sili mix is already a good appetite enhancer. But a friend introduced me to a very weird combo - by adding banana ketchup to this mix! Weird but i suggest you try it for grilled pork chops and you'll ask for more.In fact this was supposed to be but there wasn't any banana ketchup left - lol. So what's your favorite sawsawan?
