Filipino and Asian Vegetables On Maui
Bitter Melon is not available in conventional stores. Ampalaya, for example, is a popular dish that showcases bitter melon. Jicama is a turnip used in Filipino salad (Singkamas). Jicama is also challenging to find in conventional grocery stores.
While we have a few imports, most of our fresh produce is grown by Filipino vegetable farmers here in Hawaii, which is the exception in our store.
In addition to fruits and vegetables, we also carry a considerable assortment of mushrooms and herbs.
Frozen Meats
Fish, Beef, Goat, Chicken, Duck
Bangus or Milkfish is important seafood throughout Southeast Asia and Pacific Islands. It’s a bit bonier than most of the fish commonly consumed in the West. People in the Philippines enjoy the fish cooked regularly or raw, using kalamansi juice or vinegar to make kinilaw na Bangus.
Pampanos are another popular fish in the Philippines. You can cook pompano in various methods, including frying, grilling, baking, and broiling.
Many of the meat products available cannot be found elsewhere on Maui.
Local and Imported Snacks
Chips, Deserts, Crackers, Baked Goods
Many of our snacks were made here by local fusion bakeries. Manju, for example, is Japanese in origin but is prepared slightly differently here in Maui and enjoyed by all cultures.
We sell many non-perishable snacks from every continent.
Packaged Goods
Imports from Around the World
We have many sauces that are difficult to find in conventional grocery stores; banana sauce, vinegar, and lye water. Canned goods in the Philippines differ from those in the United States here in Maui. The same can be said for Lato or sea grapes.
Not all noodles are the same, and we have all the popular south-east Asian noodle brands.
