    Great shop....we visited Sunday morning and chatted with Blair who is a Kiwi who also lived in Oz for awhile. Hence the Vegemite available!

    Nice range which will build up further he said. Wholewheat bread will be available soon apparently...might pay you order it.

    God bless them they have frozen brussels sprouts!!
    We also bought Tim Tams and Birdy Num Num beer.

    Great addition to expat food outlets here.

    Yes PatO, Open tomorrow, closing a little earlier at 4pm.

    Cheers

    Open today.
    Cold beer, wine and steaks to kill the time until the power comes back.

    Its an excellent stout. I have been trying to get the Guinness with widget cans for 6 months, even paid for 5 cases recently only to be told they made a mistake and had no stock. The Murphy's is a fine replacement.

    Not a Stout but if you like a dark beer try the Black IPA from Apolong Brewery, it is on tap at What's Brewing the sandwich shop right across the hall from the Bureau of Immigration. They do a 1 litre growler take away, I really enjoyed this, the only reason to look forward to trips to the BOI.

    Afternoon,

    Pretzels back in stock. Lots of people asking for them and our supplier said "out of stock sir" so we found an alternate source.

    Made in the USA Rold Gold brand. 10 oz / 283g @ 194PHP

    Good Morning DGT Info.

    Fresh Milk and Yogurts new in store late last night from Bukidnon Milk Company. Price list attached.

    Hopefully they sell well and we can keep a regular order/supply going for all those who prefer fresh over UHT.

    Strawberry yoghurts look good as does the chocolate milk. Pics below..

    Thanks

    Looking forward to visiting your new shop. It's always great to have new merchants in Valencia who will serve the palates of ex-pats. Will be nice to have one less reason to travel to Dumaguete. (And please do work on stocking chicken breast...I can't figure out what the Filipinos do with all of them since they don't serve them in Filipino restaurants.)

    Thanks OzeMike, Appreciate the post.

    Will keep updating here as we get more products in or anything new and interesting.

    Cheeses arrived Friday night, most cuts are 200-300 grams wrapped properly in wax paper. We have a Strong Tasty Swiss Kaltbach Extra (Cave aged), Spanish Manchego, Parmesan, Jarlsberg and a Swiss Cambozola (Camembert with Blue cheese blend). Had the Cambozola with a Birdie Num Num Suspicious iPA last night and it is something special.

    Thanks Edward. Appreciate the post.

    Will try to keep a steady supply of Bacon and keep a good mix of imported and some key items butter, cream etc for emergency buys to help avoid the trips to the city.

    And Steph will look for the Sweet Pickle Relish.

    Cheers
