    English Food Supplies in Asia

    Does anyone have any idea where to get hold of simple things like Malt Vinegar and English Condiments etc in the Philippines, and if not the Philippines if any shops in Hong Kong sell them?

    terry's delicatessen at the podium in ortigas sells a lot of english products also... rustans will also be somewhere you can check and branches of santis delicatessen.. these stores houses a lot of imported products mostly european.

    I think an English (type) bar in Makati sells such things.

    Find a SM supermarket u will find loads of imported products..
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    There used to be a shop selling loads of British stuff at Festival Mall in Alabang. Not sure if it's still there though.

    They had Marmite, Branston's Pickle, Bisto, custard powder..... just what you need when you fancy a taste of home!

    If you happen to be visiting Boracay Island at Crafts of Boracay they sell a lot of English condiments and other stuffs. The owner David Craft is English so he build that mini mall so he will not travel far to get what he needs lol. Then when you up the roof top at his bar, they have Stella, Guiness...etc Then he also have a deli infront of his mall selling imported cheese.

    Reminds me of a few years back while in Boracay minding my own business following the Wife round the shops and surprised how many of the Shop owners were British

    What a great variety at the shop in Boracay.

    Does anyone know if the shop in Alabang is still open or the name of it?
