Hi all,

As some of these places in the earlier part of the thread may have disappeared or moved, does anyone know an Filipino stores in the Sidcup, Eltham, Dartford area??
Thanks!

The one in Orpington (if it's still there) is not far away from those areas you mentioned. Far East food supplies, 284 Hight street, Orpington, Kent. BR8 0ND. Tel no.: 01689 838330. The Leo's minimart one I've mentioned before in Gillingham, Kent is not a million miles away.

Yes, the Sari Sari in Orpington is still there ... at least it was last week !

Also, a sar-sari has recently opened in Tooting, in Mitcham Rd, not far from Tooting Broadway tube.

Can I get a San Mig for 20 pesos and a packet of cigs for 30 ?

Does anyone know what the BEST Filipino restaurant is in London? I've been searching online, and I've found mixed reviews. Most of the positive reviews were from British people/other foreigners. The Filipinos are the ones that gave the bad critiques so... I'm lead to think that they are actually bad?

I usually cook daily for my Fiance, but sometimes I like to go out and have some home cooked style Filipino food.

Try Margaritos in Eals Court its a bar/restaurant many filipinos i know highly recommend it

I have to be the exception to the rule then as I dont rate any of the few pinoy places in London,in fact I always found pinoy food probably the worst cuisine in asia,as I always say to pinays here when they spring to the defence of their national dishes,why do you think there are so few pinoy restaurants in the UK but many chinese,indian,Thai,even vietnamese and indonesian but few pinoy?Indicative of something I guess

We used to go to Josephine's Restaurant in London to try out other speaciality of Filipino foods, the restaurant is small but clean and I can say foods are in reasonable price. Although I can cook and my husband told me my recipe's are the the best

I used to run my own short order business here in the PH but I had to stop cos I went to UK but I would like to continue the business when I get back there.

Btw, here is their website if you and your fiance would like to try out one day.

I suppose it can't hurt to try Josephine's, even though it has pretty bad reviews online! D: I suppose I really have to find out for myself. My Lola used to have a short order business until she got a bit older. But she was such an amazing cook. D:

Try the Port of Manila one!

[Ame]

I will try the Port Manila one as well. It can't hurt!

And another question actually... I'm not sure if it's just the markets that I've been going to, but I have not been able to find seaweed sheets (nori sheets) in any Tesco, Morrissons, Sainsbury's, etc. Is this just my local ones does anybody know? If I have to go to an actual Asian supermarket to find them, I'm not sure where the nearest one is.

I don't think those supermarkets you mentioned sell those stuffs. Try Waitrose, if not there's a japanese supermarket in picaddily - I forgot the name though I love to shop out there.

Piccadilly is a little too far to be going out on a daily basis. I suppose I could just google the nearest Asian shop though... Most of the places around Shepherd's Bush are Arab.
