@passiveobserver, Shopwise in Cubao has an extensive dried fruit section that includes fig and apricot. Eastwood Mall, 2nd and 3rd levels, has a food tiangge every weekend– there’s a stall that sells nuts, am not sure if it has dried fruit as well; but check it out for other interesting food finds as well.

@passive observer and MM: Rustan’s Ayala has set up a dried fruit stand a few weeks ago. They have figs, apricots, apples, persimmon, strawberries, blueberries, pomelo, lychees etc.

Awwwww, MM…That is really nothing compared to your generosity in sharing with us your recipes, travels, insights, discoveries …You have allowed us to be part of a ‘family’…You are our modern day super hero…our “MARKETMAN” :-)

Slowly and at low heat, cook the bagoong so it doesn’t turn into candied bagoong…lol

passive observer, they have them at Santis and S&L Fine Foods… Rustan’s might have them too. In weekend markets like Mercato, there used to be nut dealer and occasionally a dried fruit purveyor, if I recall correctly.
