Mani, there are a few indian food stores like Taj and others on U.N. Avenue that stock ingredients. There are also several markets and groceries with vegetables and non-meat options. But if you are based outside Manila, you might want to bring a supply of essential spices, some legumes like lentils, etc. if you won’t be in the city often.

Ok, thanks! Actually it’s for my thesis, that’s why I desperately need it. :(

Aby, I find patani is seasonal in Manila or the lowlands… but I am not sure if you can get it in Baguio all times of the year.

Hello, I was just wondering if Lima beans are available in Baguio all-year round (seeing that it prefers a cooler weather) since I can’t find patani here in manila at this time of year. Thanks in advance!

Tintin: Oregano is an herb with a distinct taste and aroma…not peppery at all. Arugula is a salad green ….you can sub maybe Rapini…it is a much like a slimmer broccoli…it has a hint of bitterness to it and cut the rapini into 2 inch lengths…..how about dahon ng ampalaya? Just add apinch of chili flakes!

Hope that helps!
