This is one of my many favorite! First time I'd tried papaya cooked in soup was when she made this dish! One question tho', do you always use Rice water? I asked cause I've never see her use rice water. :-D

I have heard that Tinola is good for new moms who are breast feeding...helps produce or replenish breast milk supply;-)
