More on supermarket.

for meats and fishes sa Makro. Sa umaga fresh yung mga isda.

[Zeus]

Palengke- mga isda, karne, gulay

Supermarket- mga sabong panlaba, panligo at panghugas
mga Delata, juice, ice cream, frozen chicken etc.

my favorite palengke eh balintawak market grabe sa lawak at mura. Kaso malayo na sa akin papunta na nlex. Tapos hirap pa parking kasi sidewalk lang and madaling-araw pa punta ko.

My current favorite eh nepa qmart. Mura din dito at mas madali magpark. Nakabili ako talbos kamote 25pesos lima to anim na tali na ata. Per tali parang 14 stalks. Sa mga small na palengke eh binbawasan nila yan understood naman para kumita sila.

Pero nagpapasama ako dito. Kanina na lang masama tingin sa akin nung naghihiwa ng gulay. Akala ko sasabihin ako ng "west philippine sea" Kaya nilalakasan ko na magtagalog para hindi ako mapagkamalan.

importante sa akin ang duck egg. Sana may supply mamaya delivery from the province going to palengke.

si agora market ng san juan ilan beses na naglockdown lagi nagkakacovid.. Mali kasi design eh basement type palengke makulob jan.

Yung favorite ko nepa qmart so far walang lockdown mukhang wala nacovid. Ang secreto ko eh nung ecq eh punta near closing time around 4 to 6pm. May one time pumunta ako 7pm dire-direcho lang ako hind ako sinsita ng police. Yan ang palengke na 24hours sa frutasan at gulayan. Doon kasi natutulog mga bantay.

ang unang palengke na natatandaan kong na-lockdown, ay ang sampaloc public market.

wala pa akong nababalitaang supermarket or grocery, na nag lockjaw.

Palengke for fish/seafood, fruits and vegetables. However, I'm afraid to go to Palengke now because it's where I caught covid

Which is better? Balintawak or Farmer's market? I always hear about it on the news and I've never been there. When I was little, my Dad and I used to go to the Palengke in EDSA near Megamall. Does anyone remember this?

Nothing beats fresh meat from palenke. Though you won't find any nicely cut steaks or baby back ribs dyan, unless order ka siguro,for those items, I go for supermarkets

There are more choices at the palengke doc. I also like how I pick my own produce and my suki gives discount. They also tell me if the fruits/vegetables are not good

My parents like to go to the palengke at the province (Laguna, Batangas and Quezon). I guess I got it from them. I'm a palengke girl. hahaha.

and parking is always possible.

life is full of choices and compromises.

Usually for veggies, meat, fish, and poultry I also go to the palengke. I feel mas fresher dito sa wet market at mas mura ng konti. One time kasi bumili ako ng packed meat sa grocery me lasang luma na. Pero as you said medyo limited nga ang choices, especially since maliit lang ang palengke namin dito. Like walang puro drumstick, or all wings/ breast/ thigh sa chicken. Usually it's 1/4, 1/2 or per kg. whole chicken. Unlike sa grocery may mga choice cuts nga, whether beef, pork or chicken. Merong pang-sigang, pang-adobo, pang-steak - and ayan naka-cut and packed na.

With veggies, generally mas mahal sa talaga sa grocery. Bumibili lang ako diyan pag tinatamad na ako lumipat pa sa palengke, although magkatapat lang ang grocery at palengke sa amin. Toiletries, personal hygiene items, snacks, coffee, milk, noodles, condiments, etc. sa grocery na talaga iyan.

Although sa panahon ngayon, whatever ang pwede ko ma-order sa Shopee (almost gave up on Lazada na), doon na lang ako namimili. Given how long I shop around sa supermarket, I do find it much more convenient mag-online shopping na lang.

Meron pala discount mga seniors sa grocery na 5%, totoo bang 5% yun? Paano ba computation? Paramg sa gamot ba na wala din vat?

meron nga.
but i have given up on how to compute.
suffice to say, it's in their cash register's computer system.
if it's not in their computer, you have no way of getting your perceived way.

These days, both. May Kadiwa every Saturday sa village namin...

[ice15]

Palengke if we're having guests, pero kung kami lang, Supermarket all the way...

Medyo disappointing lang Supermarket dito sa Pinas especially when it comes to fresh sea food.

And not all supermarkets are the same.

e.g. we noticed na better ang quality and cuts ng meat sa Landers (Santi's for steaks)
better vegetables (for Korean and Japanese dishes) sa Savemore SM Aura
better dry provision sa Landmark Makati
better snack and alcohol selection sa S&R

compared to our experience sa SG, Korea, Japan and HK. everything you'll ever need is under 1 roof. (I removed Malaysia & Indonesia kasi online kami noon bumibili ng pork)

i can imagine!
pork must be not-easy to come by, there.

Some supermarkets don't carry porks at all. Some have porks and it's in a special section, separate from the rest of the meat. What they usually have instead of porks are lamb meats.
