| There are more reasons why Filipinos like Sinigang (Stewed [dish]) with so many variations of the dishes that are more popularly a home-cooked meal that takes preparations as it is composed of a sour and savory taste. Imagine that turned into a quick instant meal that you only need to heat with a microwave.
7-Elevenv Philippines did roll out a couple of fish-related dishes a couple of weeks back with the Bangus Steak, and this also included the Sinigang na Bangus (Stewed Milkfish) that didn’t much move in the freezer shelf. But it sure slowly caught on what was getting attention from word of mouth, and did fly off the shelf and it was already sold out. |
To be honest, not a fan of the sour and savory taste that has to do with Sinigang. Anything that’s made into a Sinigang is in question what dish would it be stewed into? Stewed Chicken is one of them, and it’s not a dis on the way it was paired into. But the Milkfish (Bangus) would work to be a Sinigang.
It is worth noting, that 7-Eleven likes to take a chance and experiment where other competitors would think twice or be apprehensive about what type of dish they are rolling out to get that good reception. 7-Eleven has mastered this by going deep dive on the Filipino taste, which works for them most of the time and not for their competitors trying to invent something impossible for people to accept.
Big Time Fishes
Under the ‘Big Time Meals’ range the Sinigang na Bangus (Stewed Milkfish) adds to a variety of Filipino dishes that are worth your while and with the release of two fish dishes the colour themes seemed to be purple and green that seem to work as well to catch the eyes of a random consumer looking for something new to have for lunch.
For the Sinigang na Bangus, the packaging like most of the price range for this dish usually adorns a different colour. But this one since it was launched alongside the Bangus Steak for the Hotta Rice range is more of a green and purple colour that seems to work in catching the eye of a walk-in customer looking for a good deal.
Milky Fish Sour Taste
The Bangus (Milkfish) is not entirely that sour, but it is savory add that tasteful mix with all the Kangkong (river spinach) to give that balance of flavour that is just right what is Sinignang going for. Unfortunately, the rice appears to be sacrificed for its portions just an equal match of contents to keep the budget cost for this meal to work.
It doesn’t feel underwhelming, to say the least of how it was prepared, but those who are heavy rice eaters will notice that the Stewed Milkfish was good, but there’s not enough rice to make it great. But in all honestly, it is a well-prepared sinigang that 7-Eleven has successfully produced that other competitors won’t even touch.
Overall, the product photo adoring the plastic cover top is not straightforward with how you’d have it on a black plastic tub rather than in a bowl. It’s just the perspective people would expect, but in reality, the stewed milkfish is good and yet, the rice was not enough to even absorb the soup that comes with it.
- Food Quality: 4 out of 5
- Affordability: B
- Overall: There's always room for more rice and that Milkfish.
