    We're both 'foodies' and my wife is an excellent cook. She ran her own restaurant in Japan.

    We've always eaten foods we like in a style of our choosing.
    When we lived in UK we'd travel far and wide to get the ingredients we needed to prepare the foods we liked.
    Now here in Davao we still travel far and wide to try and get those needed ingredients. I have to say it's not easy.

    Neither of us are fond of traditional Pinoy dishes but we do like some.
    We still eat what we like whether it's roast beef dinner, a good curry, kinilaw, grilled chicken, pork belly, tempura or stir fries.
    I have fish and chips when I fancy with proper malt vinegar too.

    I will admit that the Philippines is the only country I've lived in where I have not immersed myself in the foods. In fact I've actively avoided most.

    I don't suppose you've got the proper malt vinegar here

    I haven't found it anywhere!

    Yes Stewart, malt vinegar is available here just up the road at Swiss Deli

    Most supermarkets around here sell HP brown sauce.
    We can also buy the Japanese mayonnaise we like too.

    Thanks Peter.

    For sure I feel a trip out there coming on, the wife will be on holiday soon, so could be a good time to do it.

    A couple days' break might be good and tour Davao.

    Give us a shout Stewart, we have plenty of room.
    Just wait awhile as we're moving house again in a couple of weeks. Same village though as we really love it here. Plenty of local markets and transportation just minutes away.

    That's great, Lolita is on holiday for 2 months starting in a week's time. So plenty of time. I will certainly give you a shout, for arranging when. Meeting you is something I look forward to.

    Good luck with the move
