I go even if it's far away, it's okay because everything I need is here and the other staff is…read morekind.But there was one female staff member who probably needed to be taught proper customer service. While we were paying for the fishball, he wrapped it in news paper as if she was angry and couldn't paint his face.She almost wanted to tug hard at the thing she was wrapping. Grumpy girl.

You know, not many of you know this, but I lived in The Philippines for 9 years of my younger life…read more Magandang Umaga Po everyone! And for all of those who have been to or lived in The Philippines, you learn to appreciate and love the food they have there. With a strong spanish influence, mixed with sweetness and sourness... it's super massarup (delicious) if you ever have it. Hell, I even miss the McSpaghetti. It's great, a McDonalds with Fried Chicken and Rice and McSpaghetti.. those were the days. So if you're in Brisbane and get a hankering to fill that filo food spot of a craving, this is the place you need to go. They have chicharon (pork crackle), they have adobo seasoning packets... good if you don't know how to cook it. They have a full range of Merienda (snacks) and filipino sweets and biscuits... Ube cake... hello! It's a purple yam they make into things like ice cream, biscuits and cake. Super yum. They even have a range of filo dvd's if you're after your filipino tv. I have also never seen an asian grocer stock shelves this neat. Everything is in its place for sure... the plastic packets are all freaking turned the right way... I like neat. Neat means clean. I like clean asian grocers. This is one of the only places you will find a pretty damn full range of the products you need to recreate your Philippines experience. There isn't really any other place to go.

A great find on Yelp! I'm visiting Australia and had a craving for Filipino food. This place didn't…read moredisappoint. The Dinuguan (black pork belly pudding) dish was really really good! Very authentic and delicious. Note that this is traditional dish and might not be advisable for first timers trying Filipino cuisine. We also ordered Kaldereta (beef stew) as well as some pork spare ribs. The ribs were really good but the Kaldereta was not as flavorful as I was expecting. And lastly for dessert...their Halo-halo (shaved ice) was really a treat! The portion is enough to share with someone. Overall a nice little place to get your fix when craving for some really good Filipino food.

I went here recently after driving past it one day. So happy to find a Filipino restaurant!…read more Decor - Not flashy. But it was comfortable and reminded me of some restaurants in the Philippines. Wooden tables and benches, fairy lights and I think even tinsel still floating around (how festive!). Enjoyed the soy sauce & vinegar bottle they had on the table. There are also random frames on the walls with amusing quotes. Service - The one waiter that served us was very nice and helpful. Everyone seemed really friendly and welcoming. Food - We had dinuguan/pork blood stew (yum, but i wanted it a bit more sour - yay for vinegar on the table), sisig/sizzling offal or pork parts (didn't taste like the ones I've had in the Philippines but still pretty good) and lechon paksiw (pig stew; which was also lacking in the sourness and sweetness I'm more used to). For dessert, we had leche flan but it was a bit too firm and didn't have a very caramelised flavour and halo-halo, which was yum. Can't go wrong with halo-halo (it's shaved ice with jellies, sweet beans, leche flan, ice cream and evaporated milk). Would I go back? OF COURSE. As much as I didn't think the flavours were as authentic as it should be (this is just based on my own tastebuds and personally experienced), I'll gladly return to try other dishes.

This big Asian grocery store stocks all the pantry staples plus a whole lot more. There is fresh…read moreproduce, which stocks hard to find vegetables like bitter melon, okra and long melon. There is also the Fish Shop (the trading hours for this are a little different to the main supermarket), frozen produce, sauces and pastes, crockery and cooking utensils, confectionery and more varieties of drinks than you can imagine. They conveniently split the isles into the different countries and styles of food too- Japanese, Korean, Philippines. However you will still get lost in this place and will spend all afternoon walking up and down the isles. Head up the back for a huge range of teas - both teabags and loose-leaf tea. You can find so many varieties of Chinese green teas and Oolong teas, plus more varieties of tea I don't even know, at half the price of fancy tea shops like Tea2 and The Tea Centre. I got a 227g tin of Oolong tea for $10, which is more than half the price of 250g of Oolong tea from Tea2.

So you already know that out of all the amazing Asian grocery stores in Sunnybank, this one is the…read morebest, but I feel compelled to tell you about the recent discoveries I made here. First, they have the cheapest green tea around, plus a lot of other herbal tea flavours you can't find anywhere else. This earns a big, fat stamp of approval from me. In my opinion the range of tea available in most supermarkets is incredibly boring and unadventurous, so I was very excited to come across their wall of tea at the back of the store. Second, a friend and I were wandering through the store, searching for something exciting for dinner when we saw dumplings (many, many, many types and flavours). There were many brands and numerous fridges full of them. We eventually decided to try some prawn ones, but we didn't expect too much since they came frozen in a packet. They were absolutely delicious, just as good as the ones I've had in restaurants, and they were amazingly cheap. A packet of twelve was something like four dollars. I plan to return once everything that's currently occupying the space in my freezer has been eaten, and buy a year's supply of these delicious dumplings, which will probably last me about a week.
