We had a brand new two bedroom apartment Rent was p8000 per month and I won't eat local food, I ate almost everything I eat at home in UK, Bacon and egg, roast dinners with yorkshire pudding also found Camp coffee, Potatoes, baked beans ect!
Fortunately I eat what they eat,whether its Tinola,Adobo,Bulalo,tins of tuna if we dont have time to cook etc.. Everything with rice!
Occasionally we do a roast,cook pizza`s etc but if a person will not adapt to Filipino food then expect the grocery bill to rise by at least 2/300%.
The bacon and ham in supermarkets here is sweet and I`d rather not partake..YUK!!
The good stuff is produced by expats that make their own for selling and costs 500 per kilo minimum.
A small block of English cheese is about 250 Peso..Over a days wages for a local labourer.. 50.00 Pesos more!
