Because I was born into a Filipino family, I grew up enjoying Filipino culture either it be…read moretelevision, festivals, movies, or music. However, my favorite part of Filipino culture is so far the cuisine. Though Deguzmans in Orlando is the place to go for authentic Filipino cuisine such as kare-kare, dinaguan, bistek, and other dishes, the one Asian market local to where I love to get Filipino wares such as Filipino ice cream, Filipino snacks, and Filipino drinks is the Fil-Am Oriental Store. The small store is located in a very small two-story shopping complex just east of the Babcock St. and Malabar Rd. intersection. Upon entering, you'll notice the store consists of two fridge cases, four small aisles, and four cooler boxes in the back. To be honest, the selection they have is very limited. However, what they do have is what I want Filipino food-wise that no other Asian food market around here has. First and foremost, they have numerous flavors of Selecta ice cream. Buko pandan, mango, halo-halo, and ube. They have Filipino snacks and desserts, the three-in-one coffee packets, and the grass jelly drinks. Oh, and they also have the spiced vinegar, That may not sound like much, but it is a lot to me. Besides the unique selection of items that happens to be stuff I want and/or need, the family who owns the grocery is really nice. I have come to know the them and are considered friends of the family. I actually missed them at my niece's birthday party simply because I was fashionably late. To be fair though, almost all Asians consider each other family once we get to know each other. Back on Fil-Am Oriental Store, it is a "hidden gem" of an Asian grocery store that many people may not even know about. I really hope the are able to expand and increase their selection. For now, they have what is necessary among Asians (and other ethnic groups around here), but if they get popular enough to increase their inventory, their customer base living in South Palm Bay will surely be thankful instead of having to drive all the way to either Jason's Everyday Produce, the closest Asian grocery with a wider selection of goods that Fil-Am Oriental Store may lack.

They also have hotdogs, Langunisa, tapa, Bangus, pampano, smoke fish. Amazing even can goods like Ligo sardines, palm corn beef and liver spreads. They have everything that I need even different types of pancit for cooking to rice. I don't need to go to other Asian market that is bigger but are lacking of my favorite brands. This place is a great place to get all the seasonings that you need too!! Thank you for always being friendly and accommodating to us whenever we are in your store.

I like Indian food and wanted to learn some dishes so I got one of Madhur Jaffrey's books and plunged in. There were a few items I couldn't locate in my usual haunts so I visited Apna and they had it all. They had items I'd never heard of as well as many I had. I love learning new things. I was chatting with the owner who offered me some Indian tea, Masala Chai, that was redolent of nutmeg and very delicious. Lucky me! I'll be back.

While it's a Mediterranean blend, they carry quite a few Persian essentials--and I'm so grateful for that. The owner is incredibly sweet and helpful. The store is small and a little tight on space, but their selection is huge and well-stocked. For mainly imported goods, the prices are very reasonable. It's only about 10 minutes from home, and having a place like this nearby takes the stress out of running out of essentials. So thankful this place exists!

They have a huge selection of every protein known to man. From fish, seafood, every type of meat, and some specialty items, this is the place. Since they are fish mongers, prepare for that smell when you walk in. That just means everything is fresh. Also, bring cash, besides a check, cash is all they take. I think they have an ATM, but bring cash just in case. This is a completely different experience but worth the quality and price. And they have a giant chalk board with their offerings and prices. They are definitely one of those places where you come in for one thing and leave with a bag full of fresh goodies. I don't think I have ever spent less than $100. Worth it! Good job team.

I also loved the interior with the jungle atmosphere, and I couldn't get over that it was tucked next to the market. I can't say enough positive things about this restaurant!! So FANTASTIC!!

I didn't personally try the other dishes, but everything my friends ordered looked really good and matches what you'll find on the menu.
