Mrs JMajor, you can get sinigang mix from the asian shop in Norwich. The address is 65 Dereham Rod (near the KFC)

[ANDRES25]

mmm yummy! my mouth is watering now thinking of sinigang. I can't find any sinigang mix here in ipswich either, maybe I'm not looking hard enough. But i'm so glad I found Datu Puti soy sauce and vinegar so I'm going to cook ADOBO tomorrow!

:xxgrinning--00xx3: we've got some pechay growing in the garden (in a growbag under a coldframe) with spinach, red onion and spring onion :D

We have found lots of veg in the local pakistani shops also like: sayote, gabi, mooli radish, ampalaya and proper mangoes (not apple ones) :BouncyHappy:

It would be nice if the big supermarkets stocked more though like mama sita mixes etc. (or sisig in a can hehehe I loved that :) )

[bornatbirth]

how was the kang kong?

i like it taste like veggie crisps,nice as a snack!

[wachovia]

Ooh, thanks for the info. We have a big Tesco near my place, hopefully they have them as well.

I found a nice Asian store in China town that has a lot of Filipino food. They even have pandan leaves and sitaw, although I think it's from Thailand.

[estherboaz]

i asked my partner to buy okra (I was going to make sinigang)
and he came back with just one tiny okra.

can someone give me more info about growing pechay in my own garden?

[thejarvs]

tala get some seeds (bak choi/pechay) from a garden centre, I plant them in a grow bag and use a cold frame (penny uses a green house) then just add water :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Just buy 2 growing bags of soil and spread the seeds there.

I have Philippines pechay seeds here given by Ate Ping and it grows fantastic

Do u want some?

[tala]

am really keen to try it out. not much of a gardener though.
so i don't even know what a growing bag is.
is the growing bag kept outdoors or indoors?
how much maintenance does it need?

[thejarvs]

Growbags are bags with soil/compost in (bought from garden centres), you put them outside, just a little water is needed for maintenance.

You could just plant the vegies in the ground if you have a suitable garden :icon_lol:

[Jay&Zobel]

(Not about the growbags lol)


Awwwww...
How cute!!! How old is he? x

[Alec&Davina]

where did u get the sinigang mix :( dont have at lowestoft asian shop:Brick:

[Tawi2]

Are they sad frog slippers he is wearing :Erm:Do they do them in adult sizes :Erm:He looks very cute,little boys always do,when I used to say my son was naughty he would smile and add "But nice" :icon_lol:
If your going to grow get decent soil,John Innes Mix,or Arthur Bowers,lot better than a peat compost :ARsurrender:
