I am two months and one day pregnant now and I am really craving the "danguet fish" in the Philippines. Lots and lots of food cravings like turon, budbod (in visaya) I don't know the tagalog of it,orange na buko,palamig yong maraming kulay,halo-halo nang Ice castle,gulaman,piritong isda talagang danguet. :wacko: ,I got a lot of foods going on inside my head and very frustrating it's because most of them are not here. :crying:

Any suggestions if they can send it to me?I looked at the asian stores already here in Indianapolis,but really nothing :( Anyone here tried receiving foods from the Philippines? Is it possible for them to send it to me? Just wondering if maybe someone had experienced the same thing. How did they send it,what do they used to do it?

Thanks a lot..

Sending things from the Phils to US would be really costly. Finding a source in the US on the internet would be a lot cheaper.

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world.

We found a place in West Covina that has all of Claudeth's Filipino comfort foods and she raves about it. I don't remember the name but it is in a little shopping mall at the corner of N. Azusa and Amar street. There are lots of Filipinos there and even a grocery store catering to Filipino tastes.

Thanks a lot..

You are in Indianapolis, If you can handle about a 90 minute drive to Cincinnati, I would suggest:

http://www.junglejims.com/international/asian.asp

My wife loves this place and they have a nice selection of foods from the Phillippines.... Fruits, Vegetables, sauces, pancit and all kinds of things. It takes me two hours to pull my wife out of there.

Maybe it's time to take a trip, hehehehe, they have balut there too.. *ugh she tricked me into eating some the other day too, the second bite had me gagging!!

Am out of bottled "saging na saba" in syrup, down to half a pack of "turon" (banana fritters), and only one pack of pancit noodles left...and one box of champorado left. Am delivering in 4 weeks...perhaps a trip down the Cincy should be in order. And soon! :D
