This soup is easy to make — but do you do it with a twist? Share your tips or perhaps another way to make use of moringa
As Filipinos declared their love for the humble malunggay (moringa leaves) in a viral Khaleej Times story, an interesting dish cropped up in online conversations.
Dozens of Pinoy Netizens have said malunggay, a superfood packed with nutrients, is a staple ingredient in their favourite chicken dish called tinola.
Tinola is a famous Filipino soup served with — of course — rice. It has become controversial a couple of years ago, when some haters took to Twitter and described it as the most boring dish that should just be called "chicken with water".
Among Filipinos in the UAE, however, its popularity hasn't waned. They instantly remembered the soup when talk about malunggay hit their news feeds.

They said they proudly serve it to other nationalities, too. And non-Filipinos who have had a taste, loved it.
