Like duck eggs and/or quail eggs for your breakfast...... They have a fair amount of imported foods here, if you are looking for something familiar, but the prices for the imported foodstuffs are very high and tough to justify from a cost / value perspective. Every single employee here, and there is blanket coverage in every section of the store, is unfailingly polite and incredibly helpful. Check-out is maddeningly slow at times....

I think specialty delis/food stores have their own unique charm and Bee Tin in Bindondo is no…read moreexception. Located at the heart of Binondo on Ongpin Street, Bee Tin has not changed much over the years, making it a must-see stop in Chinatown. The Chinese deli/food mart has everything you need from preserves, imported food, Chinese candies and sweets, cured/smoked meats, dehydrated produce, frozen goods and more. I really like going here because there's so much to see and buy that's not usually in your local grocery. I think I picked up the habit of learning how to appreciate delis such as Bee Tin thanks to my grandma who'd always bring me whenever she needs to replenish her supply of preserves. Speaking of preserves, you really have to taste Bee Tin's selection because there's a lot of them! They are neatly stored in bins and you can buy them according to weight. My favorites are the plums - they are pretty large and the mix of sweet and sour has a nice effect on the palette. Another thing I'm crazy about is Bee Tin's beef jerky. While they also have the packaged kind of beef jerkey (I'm looking at you Cow Label), their own mix of the large and leathery strips of beef is a class of its own. You can also purchase these according to weight, and we tend to buy a lot of it. (Might as well make the drive worth it right?) The taste of the beef jerky plays between sweet and salty and the meat itself isn't too hard to chew on. Before I go to the check out counter, I also make a beeline to the chocolates and candies section. Sometimes they stock these really weird but good gummy candies from China (I once bought P5 packets of peach and cola flavored candies - these were really good!), and they also have imported Japanese chocolate snacks like Pocky. Other stuff you can see at Bee Tin are the packaged noodle soups, dry seaweed, Chinese candies and chocolates, haw flakes and lots more other stuff. Another plus for Bee Tin is that their prices are a lot cheaper than in regular groceries.

I have good memories of grocery shopping in Rustan's Supermarket…read more When my grandma was still alive, I would take her to Rustan's Supermarket and she could spend hours going up and down the aisles searching for new things this supermarket had to offer. She would drag me here a day or two before our family reunions to buy cheese, meats and cold cuts. They do have plenty of options for cheese and cold cuts. A bit pricey, but the quality is really good. My mom and I frequent this supermarket because the lines for the cashier aren't that long, there are less people roaming around and shopping, and the place is pretty quiet. We like doing our grocery shopping in peace. If you get hungry in the middle of shopping, don't worry. You can sit down, take a break and eat. They've got cooked meals, a sushi bar, salads and sandwiches. Today, I found out that if you park your car at the 6750 Steel Carpark and shop at Rustan's Supermarket, you can have your car park ticket validated and you get free parking. Also, they put all your groceries in boxes. You can ask the baggage boys to help you bring the boxes to your car. They are so helpful.

My wife has to go to the Precision Diagnostic Lab at Pioneer Center so we do some grocery shopping there. They have some items that S&R/Landers do not stock.

Since I spend P20K at S&R/Landers, I'm not concerned about the prices at Pioneer Center because they are reasonable and available.

This place is not clean looking, more of a warehouse than grocery actually. They do have a meat and fresh produce section. They also have a section for picnic needs from utensils to foldable tables!

Wholesale prices are just awesooome! :D You can find super-interesting international products like in SnR but at half the price and even on Buy 1, Take 1. Their promos keep changing every week which is why I'm almost always there to avail of sweet deals! Also, they accept ALL credit cards. They have free parking here too.

There's even a small play area and a set of food stalls where you can leave companions who are not involved in the shopping behind. If I had my own sari-sari store I'm sure I'll frequent this place more because items are sold on wholesale prices. I'm also amazed on how prices can get really low for highlighted items, products and packages. You just need a little patience when lining up in the cashiers as people tend to hoard stuff. They should also consider adding more basket lanes. Nevertheless, I still enjoy it in the neighborhood as it has everything under one roof, at an arm's reach.

You know you're a certified Tita already when you catch yourself referring to Fortunes Mart as…read moreeither Micaray or Popular Grocery, its monikers for yesteryears. This grocery that stands where Saint Scholastica's College and Benilde's Taft Campus almost meet is your typical neighborhood grocery where you can buy the basics. Prices here are waaay cheaper than in convenience stores so if you don't mind walking in through more dimly lit aisles (compared to the 7-11's, Ministop's, or Family Mart's), you can also get your convenience store necessities like ice, cigarettes, drinks, etc. for a fraction fo the price. But for me, what is Fortunes Mart's nicely-kept secret is on its second floor, where affordable (read: cheap) plasticware is being sold. If, like me, you're also already a Tita who is absolutely apalled at the prices of pails, basins, hangers, jars, lunch boxes, and other houseware in malls, then Fortunes Mart is the place to go! By the way, make sure you have your receipt on hand before leaving the grocery. The guards are quite strict with checking purchases on your way out.

Wellcome Supermarket is one of those surprising little supermarkets that has a lot of bargains to…read morehelp stretch the budgets of wise shoppers. Located at the ground floor of the Metropoint Mall at the corner of EDSA and Taft Avenue in Pasay City, Wellcome bills itself as your "friendly neighborhood supermarket." The owners must be fans of SpiderMan, I guess. The supermarket is small compared to the biggies like Puregold, but it has a near captive clientele for no other reason that its location. People who take the LRT and/or MRT an easily drop by and buy their day-to-day needs. They will be pleasantly surprised when they see the assorted bargains offered by Wellcome. All supermarkets have these specials, of course. But it just seems that Wellcome has more than the others. By this I mean the boxes of cereals that come with free drinks, or the buy one, take one breads and whatnot. Their prices are also on the low side which is to be expected because one of their next door neighbors is the old Liana's grocery or supermarket which has been around for decades. I drop by Wellcome quite often since I prefer to take the LRT whenever I need to go to Manila. I recommend it for bargain shoppers.

We've gone to way too many supermarkets and/or grocery stores but we keep on coming back to the one in Cash & Carry. It's convenient to go there as well since it's just in Makati. If you live in the Palanan area or Taft or you're a student of De La Salle University or College of Saint Benilde and you live in a dorm and want to do grocery shopping in bulk, check out Cash & Carry. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Also, my family finds it one of the cheapest and biggest grocery stores that carries a lot of stock and variety in brands and flavors. What's great is that not only do they sell food, beverages and typical grocery buys but you can also find everything from clothes, beach stuff, gift wrappers, school stuff, housewares, makeup and a whole lot more!

If you live or work in Salcedo Village, the best place to get your fix of Melona Ice Cream, Maxim Coffee, or gochujang (hot pepper paste) is Kang's Korean Grocery. Their main store is in Valero Street, but they have opened a smaller branch along Bautista Street. Both stores are within Salcedo Village. Kang's has a wide selection of Korean food and other products. Whenever I crave for kimchi or gochujang, their Valero shop has become my go-to place. Apart from Korean products and goodies, Kang's also sells fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat products. In fact, I'd also pop up in their store during emergencies when my own pantry has ran out of garlic, tomato, onions and other essential cooking ingredients. I choose this grocery even if there are so many 24-hour convenience stores and a Rustan's Supermarket in the vicinity. The reason: Kang's has that unsophisticated atmosphere expected in a neighborhood store. You can even chat with the friendly owners if they happen to be present. Talk about a sari-sari store ambiance in Makati CBD!

There are also other snacks you can horde or give to friends so its always a good idea to swing by this small yet so convenient mini grocery store. The staff are usually nice but sometimes can't be bothered to help out. They also sell some fresh produce, bottled drinks, noodle cups, and many other curious things worth experimenting and trying out. Usually I would just stick to one or two Korean ice cream treats but more often than not, I am with enabler friends who also like to buy different things. Prices are moderate and well-worth the taste bud adventure!

The supermarket also boasts of a wide variety of imported items that are hard to find in other stores. Here, you have a better chance of finding the Asian condiment or ingredient that you need to make exotic dishes such as Chicken Curry Masala, Bah Kuh Teh, and Dashimaki Tamago. This establishment also has an impressive selection of frozen meat products. When I'm cooking my signature kalderetang kambing, Metro Supermarket is my source for goat meat. They carry choice cuts by Billy Goat's Goat Meat.
