Marc...

Chinook and I have had good luck finding the ingredients for Filipino dishes in the Seattle area.

One of the places we shop for Filipino groceries is at Fou Lee market on Beacon Hill, at the corner of Beacon Avenue South and Alaska Street.

Another place we shop for groceries is at the new Seafood City at Southcenter. Also, there is a Tokyo Tokyo, as well as a Chow King, Jollibee, and Red Ribbon at that location.

Ranch Market in Kent at the Great Wall shopping center also has Filipino groceries.

Our two favorite Filipino restaurants in the Seattle area are the Kawali Grill in Rainier Valley at Columbia City, and Inay's on Beacon Avenue South. There's also a good Filipino bakery one block from Inay's called Delite Bakery.

Maybe you have tried some of these places.

Tahoma,

I've been Delite bakery, Ranch 99, and Seafood City (thanks to your update last October!). Seafood City is where I go for fresh blood...I have cravings for dinuguan every so often. My wife and I tried Chow King, and was somewhat disappointed. Nowhere near the same as Chow King in Philippines. Jollibee was pretty good. Red Ribbon represented pretty well. I love their coffee crunch cake! We haven't tried their Tokyo Tokyo yet, though.

Thanks for recommending Fou Lee market! We'll definitely try that soon! Thanks again for all the recommendations!

I hate hot dogs. Is there a big difference between Philippines hot dogs and american ones? I didn't eat any when I was visiting the Phils, but noticed they wrap them individually there. My fiancee and her family love hot dogs. They want to eat them in everything, even for breakfast. If they don't taste the same here, then I'll need to find the ones she likes. Where do you find them?

Ingat din.

The only ones we have been able to find that taste and have the closest to consistency of Filipino hot dogs are the Martin Purefoods ones. Have only found if at Super "Q" Mart (yes, Q) and Kabayan food marts. They are not individually wrapped here in US as in Phils. But are red and same consistency.

I enjoyed trying lechon kawali when I was in the Philippines for the first time. it's got a nice salty flavor to it like some American meats. We love our pork in America =).
