But I found out that raw gooseberry can substitute for kamias, though.

I also love sinigang sa alibangbang for beef … kamias for prawns and other fish … sampalok for pork and bulaklak ng sampalok for chicken … We even use santol for bangus … I love the whole range of pansigang that I'd rather go without sinigang than use the powder form.

As for another souring agent, dried kamias is allowed coming in the states, so I brought with me 3 packages of it, and placed in the ref.

The sharp hit of sourness and the subtle sweetness of kamias is oh so perfect for my taste buds. nagutom tuloy. mapunta nga sa seafood city at makabili ng pinoy food.
