It will not go extinct since in every corner of Pinas, there is kangkong. Abi mo lang gamahal pero ara pa na da guihapon, still staple and soooo common. Basi dira sa Europe, its getting expensive, wahehehe!!!

we don't have kangkong here in Europe. Kung may ara gid man, maybe imported from tropical countries. How I wish may ara man or basi I need to visit Chinese stores pa.

Well, apan-apan is nice. I just so miss eating this kind of stuff.

Too bad for you space...

Kami tana dya duro it mabaklan ka tangkong. Yes! Bag-o nga laon. They sell it here at Asian food marts. Ano pa waay takon nahidlaw ka apan-apan. Pirme tamon galuto di. Even kamote leaves here is abundant. We can also buy alugbati leaves at the Vietnamese community market.

At Filipino stores naman, they sell frozen saluyot (tagabang), malunggay, apalaya, sili leaves, etc. How does frozen vegies look like? Imagine the leaves put inside a plastic bag (similar to tocino's packaging) then filled with water and then frozen. The taste is not that different from the fresh ones.

Gali ninja kid. Dugo sang baboy is also available here at Asian-owned butcher shops. Waay tana gabaligya mga puti ka dugo. They call it here blood jelly. Sadly I have yet to see kadyos.

may ari man diri Filipino stores pero mostly sa London area gid siya. Even sa London gani, barely you can see Filipino stores. Here sa countryside, wala pa ko nakita nga pinoy stores sa amon. May ari Chinese with all the chinese products. At times may Pinoy products man like noodeles or pancit cantoon. Unless tuyu-on mo gid iya magbakal sang mga leafy veggies, then you'll suffer pressure sores due to driving and/or communiting. he he

[daks2003]

yup...homey type ang desserts pero highest quality ingredients kuno ila nausar...sa tsura pa lang you will know its not the commercialized dessert store...hambal sang kilala ko, this is the best choco cake in Iloilo nga natilawan nya...daw galaway ako ah hehehehe

[habagatcentral1]

They say that homemade goodness of the food comes from the heart.

[daks2003]

tumbok mo gid berns...that's why whenever a "copycat/wannabe" wants to pirate a certain signature dish/cuisine, it will always end up as second or third rate coz the driving force behind to create it is not from the heart, rather it is dictated by envy hehehehe

[eonynx]

wow! these desserts surely look like must haves! hehehe
