Asian Market La Sorpresa Barata stocks Filipino groceries deep enough to support full weekly meal planning. We carry frozen bangus (milkfish), longanisa, tocino, tapa, and dried fish like daing and tuyo. The butcher cuts pork belly for lechon kawali and chicharon, and we keep pork hocks for crispy pata.
On the pantry side we carry Datu Puti vinegar, Silver Swan soy sauce, Mama Sita seasoning mixes for adobo, sinigang, and kare-kare, plus Jufran and UFC banana ketchup. The freezer has frozen ube halaya, frozen leaves for laing, and ready-to-cook lumpia wrappers.
Our snack aisle is heavy with Boy Bawang, Oishi prawn crackers, polvoron, and Choc-Nut. We carry Magnolia ice cream pints in ube, mango, and cheese, plus Pinoy beverage staples like Sarsi and calamansi juice.
