You can buy rocket/arugula at Rustans or Santi's (sometimes)...also at the Salcedo Market. The Fresh Fields stall at Market! Market! also carries it. When a recipe calls for almond meal I usually buy ground almonds in Santi's, or just buy almonds wherever and grind them myself :)ChichaJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14143881216169572999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-51661430698317616772008-01-02T17:18:00.000+08:002008-01-02T17:18:00.000+08:00Hi joey.happy new year :-)question, where can i bu...Hi joey.<BR/><BR/>happy new year :-)<BR/><BR/>question, where can i buy rocket here in manila? i fell in love with it when i was in sydney. either in salad or pizza. another question joey, where can i also buy almond meal? went to cook's exchange, rustan's and santi's...wala e :-( hope I can find those stuff...Joaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16012686895216389173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-34318799771784969232007-12-28T10:28:00.000+08:002007-12-28T10:28:00.000+08:00Ooooooohh, you're back!!! =)The carrot photo's are...Ooooooohh, you're back!!! =)<BR/>The carrot photo's are so lovely.

Here in the US, market means supermarket, and there is no chaos, and everything is nicely arranged in aisles, well, you get what I mean. I love our Southeast Asian markets, dirty, noisy, chaotic, but the best (and real) in my opinion. :)Rasa Malaysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160569781914045054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14448190.post-70376032930130444572007-12-23T14:09:00.000+08:002007-12-23T14:09:00.000+08:00That last photo was lovely, greens offset by the o...That last photo was lovely, greens offset by the orange.
