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..

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!!

Wow!! I missed balut pinoy!! God it's very far though :( I will try to ask favor to my husband for a TRIP!! heehee

Thanks for the site :thumbs:

Sorry to spoil the fun guys but it is a violation of TOS to post obscene words. One of the words used in the "sanitized" posts below is obscene in Tagalog language. PI members, especially the ladies, may find it offensive and could potentially ignite a word war.

:blink: you know what he was talking about right? He's joking. I guess it would be a good think if you havent had. Maybe slang in different parts means nothing to others. :unsure:

*quoted posts deleted*

I will add to the possibilities...

Halo halo sounds good. Maybe I should go get Halo halo today. Then I may buy some ube ice cream. It has been a while since I had Filipino food. When you eat it all the time, you get bored of it, unless you are Filipino. Also I wonder why there is no Chow King or Jolibee here? I mean half the state is Filipino.

Welcome to America baby! I usually buy UBE ice cream (Magnolia) and other Filipino foods at Chinese stores. Congrats on your pregnancy by the way and take care. :thumbs:
