Such an interesting and very helpful post! I love eating but I didn't knew there are a lot of spices that are used to each and every food. I'll try to use some spices suggested here. Thanks a lot for the info girls!

^^ sis dun sa store sa Market Market na puro spices try mo. Sa may HapChan sya (likod nung Icing's) :D Spices & Flavors ata name ng stall, sorry di ako sure... Di ko na alam sa grocery nila, nag-aayos kasi sila ng setup ng grocery nila. di na tulad before :P

^ hehe..dito rin ako bumibili ng mga spices, nung una ko to hinanap nahirapan ako. akala ko nasa loob ng mall, yun pala nasa labas..hehe

^ celery salt, nakabili ako dati sa rustan's. if wala dun, try landmark grocery. :)

I used to buy mine at Market! Market! yung mga stalls sa labas. :)

if you want mga sis, you could buy potted herbs sa manila seedling bank in QC. yung sa may intersection ng Q Ave at EDSA. meron din akong nakitang potted herbs dun sa rustan's makati. mas ok if you're herbs are freshly picked before use. :) minsan kasi ndi mo naman magagamit yung buong pack ng herbs na mabibili mo sa grocery. sayang lang. although ok naman siya i-dry. iba pa rin yung dried herbs compared sa fresh. just a suggestion. :)

for other spices, you can try Assad. meron sa may otis. meron din sa marikina. kumpleto dun. asian spices. ndi lang spices benta nila. pati mga condiments and other food items na ginagamit sa asian cooking.

pag japanese ingredients, check out yung grocery stores sa little tokyo sa makati.

if western cuisine ingredients ang hanap niyo, check rustan's, landmark and santi's. especially the yakal branch of santi's since yun yung "main" branch nila. if wala dun sa branch na yun yung hinahanap mo, malamang wala rin sa ibang branch.

for baking ingredients, check chocolate lovers along p. tuazon in cubao. or sweetcraft along boni in mandaluyong.

for other ingredients like different kinds of nuts, cheeses, glazed fruits, baking goods, frozen goods, processed meats, canned goods, halos lahat na... check out killion along orosco st. in quiapo. you can get items there for cheaper compared sa mga malls.

sa tapat ng killion, may store din which sells different varieties of nuts. mga pine nuts, almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, etc.

for dairy products, try the rizal dairy farm stall in market market. may feta cheese sila dun na cheaper. pati mga quark cheese, ricotta, buttermilk, greek yoghurt which is perfect for tzatziki. :)

happy scouting mga sis. :)

^ i heard about an indian community near otis. Ito ba yun?

Hmm market market! Mapuntahan nga yan. Mukhang kumpleto nga ata sa market market. Does it mean mura ba?

Meron kasi sinasabi mama ko sa me binondo i forgot the street pero most of the hard to ingredients ( not necessarily spices) for chinese food andun. Super mahal nga lang daw.

@snowyice:

Aw. Hmm. If that's the case, maybe you could try Santi's. =)

@avesoriano:

Yes. I think what you're hearing about is Assad. Sila naman yung sikat na Indian spice store sa Otis. When I was in culinary school, they buy stuff from there. Kasi mas complete.

Sa Binondo, I'm not sure lang what your mom was referring to. But there's a grocery there that I frequent. Sa Ongpin siya, corner Yuchengco. I buy Chinese goods there. Especially yung mahu...yung meat floss na gamit sa BreadTalk. :)

The produce at Market! Market! Are pricier than palengke counterparts. Pero within reasonable bounds naman. Ok din kasi maraming mga "gourmet" items. I buy arugula, baby spinach and yung mga microgreens from there. Tsaka nga yung mga dairy prods from Rizal Farm. Other produce na meron naman sa market, ndi ko na binibili pa dun. :)

Sorry sis ha pano nga ulit directions sa assad? Hmm  sabi sa akin otis is somewhere at the back of u.n. totally clueless how to get there. By car or taxi lang di ba. Say ill be coming from
Pgh taft?

Another thing, not to be stereotype pero mabait ba itong community na ito hindi naman ba parang quiapo type? Safety issues etc? I might get some beryani powder din. Out of stock dito sa indian store namin e.

Basta turn ka lang to UN ave. Tas dire-diretso until you see Nissan on your right. That's your first landmark. Diretso ka pa ng konti. Before you reach the bridge, Assad will be to your right. Sa side ng temple. And in front naman of Unilever sa other side ng road. Ndi naman scary dun. Just a normal store. :)
