Mheann, you can buy the plant at the Manila seedling bank, or sometimes at weekend markets. You can get kaffir lime leaves at the herb section of Rustan’s and S&R sometimes. Also, Fresh Fields in Market!Market! often carry kaffir lime leaves. If you do find them and don’t use all of them, freeze the remainder. Its not the best solution but better than no kaffir lime. The defrosted leaves are best used in soups and curries, not sliced fresh for salads.

Hi Market Man,

I am fan of thai food but always fail to find the true ingredients, can you tell me where to find kaffir lime leaves?

Thanks a lot.

Shrimp and pomelo – that’s freakin’ genius. Who would ever thought? I must try with my own spin.

hunter, we buy the fabric by the yard at the Easter Weaving store/factory just outside central Baguio… Then we cut to custom length and “hem” the ends…

your table runner/table cloth, if i’m not mistaken, that is an igorot design right? where did you buy these things – i’ve been in the lookout for these things in large sizes but only see small sizes for sale in the baguio stores…

Jake et al, sorry to disappoint, for the red duck curry I used a mix with some fresh herbs to freshen it up... something like this, but with duck. :)

I have to say that this appetizer is simple to do but it’s surprisingly good. Next the Red Duck Curry!

I just came back from a visit in Pinas, and one of the places I went is SM Manila. It was lunch time when we got there, and first place that interested me to eat is in Pho Hoa. Golly, the price was enormous for my budget (I had my relatives with me), and so we went to the food court instead. I am so spoiled with the Vietnamese and Thai restaurants here in Texas – their prices are so cheap. And this PomeloSalad is one thing I can replicate nicely for all the ingredients are available in the many oriental stores around. Everthing can be bought fresh, including the lime, cilantro, and the pomelo) there’s 3 kinds in season right now. I am going to try the bloody orange too.. my taste bud says its going to be ok.
