Me and my family live on the North side, so it's a long trip to this place. But, we make the trip for primarily two things. First of all they sell what my wife calls Filipino corn on the cob. It's not sweet corn like at HEB. But, she used to be a Filipino before she was a US citizen, and she still hankers after the old world corn of her younger days. Moreover, they sell what my wife calls milk fish. They're thin filleted fish in a butterfly pattern and fried. It's very very delicious. Very much worth the trip.

Stopped by here to get some ube flavoring and misua... but ended up getting a lot more. It is a small store but they have pretty much everything i was looking for...even the ones I couldn't find at the Asian Supermarket and Tim's Oriental. To top it off, they have fresh cooked food... I was hesitant to buy one at first but I'm glad I did, coz when I took it home and ate it... it was super yummy! The owner and the folks that hang out there are super friendly and made me feel like I'm back in the Philippines. Thank you! I will definitely go to this store first before even venturing out to other Asian stores around...
