Anybody know of any filipino food stockists for Mrs. Washy in Hertfordshire or online??

She's arrived in the UK on the 15th of August and she's reaching her limit of not eating bagoong - so we need to buy some and some other bits and bobs.

I tried to visit JKEA in Stevenage at the Hyde but it appears to be long gone now? Has it moved or permanently shut down?

Have a good selection of stuff online but doesn't quite scratch asawa's kati for bagoong because it doesn't seem to stock any.

Near my parents in Norwich a local filipina put us on to Spice land on Dereham road so we bought some things from there but they didn't stock bagoong either.

Is buying bagoong a fruitless endeavour in the UK ?? Surely not?!

Appreciate any pointers :)

If it's an easy drive for you there are a couple of very large supermarkets selling a good range of Filipino stuff.

Wing Yip on the Edgware Road Cricklewood. Just off the M1
Hoo Hing at Blechley

Wing Yip is by far the best with good underground parking and a nice Dim Sum restaurant.
