Philippines Products

Filipino food is one of Southeast Asia's most distinctive cuisines and one of the least served by UK supermarkets, so this collection does the job properly: the snacks, seasonings and store-cupboard staples of a Filipino kitchen.

The snack shelf is legendary. Skyflakes — the crumbly crackers in every Filipino cupboard — chicharon pork crunch for the salty snackers, Boy Bawang garlic cornick, Ding Dong mixed nuts and Chick Boy sweet corn puffs. These are the treats that fill balikbayan boxes, and they disappear fast. For dessert, Buenas ube spread brings the purple yam that colours so many Filipino sweets — spread it on toast, swirl it into ice cream, or bake it into anything.

The cooking staples matter more. Datu Puti vinegar and soy sauce are the backbone of adobo, the national dish, and the value pack sets you up properly. Maggi seasoning, banana ketchup's cousins, and Super Q golden bihon — the cornstarch noodles for pancit — cover the rest of the everyday repertoire, with nata de coco and coconut gel for halo-halo on hot days.

Filipino food ordered online is sent from our Manchester store, with free UK delivery on orders over £75. If you are cooking adobo for the first time, Datu Puti and a pack of bihon are where to begin.
