This vinegar has become a table staple in our home.
My husband and I enjoy spicy food. Since not everyone in the household likes lots of spice, one way to spice up a dish is through condiments. We enjoy squashing a piece of siling labuyo in a small bowl then smothering it with either soy sauce, patis (fish sauce) or vinegar. Gah, that’s so good.
What we like about this brand is that the spices are already mashed and blended into the vinegar, so there’s more kick and spice. We use it as a dip every time there’s fried food at home. We love the liveliness of this Datu Puti Pinoykurat!
I was told it’s good as a marinade too. I’ll have to try that! Ah, the possibilities when you have a really good product in your hands!
What are your table staples? Calamansi, toyo, ketchup? Share, share!
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

August 11, 2010 at 9:42 am (14 years ago)We bought the original Suka Pinakurat on a trip to Cebu after a friend who grew up in Mindanao raved about it on her blog. (I guess this Datu Puti version was “inspired” by that?) Love it!!! It’s perfect with anything grilled or fried — we made fried tilapia and chicken bbq last week and used it as a dip.

August 11, 2010 at 11:37 am (14 years ago)The original of this is Sukang Pinakurat. It’s from Iligan city in Mindanao. In a way, I’m saddened because a big corp like Datu Puti has “copied” the idea….

My sauce staples include: banana ketchup, patis, suka and toyo. I also like Maggi seasoning.

What we used a lot of is the hot chili sauce you get from chinese restos, when i go for take out i ask for extra hot chili sauce. That sauce is so good with everything. We put it in nilaga, sinigang and tinola and almost anything.

August 23, 2010 at 3:31 am (14 years ago)This is clearly “copied” from Pinakurat from Iligan City (check http://www.sukapinakurat.com – on where to buy..there’s even a list of stores where it’s available in US, Australia, Europe, and of course a nationwide list of stores here in the Philippines)..
We’re never out of Pinakurat in the house.. it’s our standard condiment here and of course Maggi Savor (any flavor)
