As of March 2014 there's a bailiff's notice in the window <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/13163025585/ photo]</small>. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Small Filipino grocery shop (and clothes shop) on St George's Walk in [[Locale Croydon|Croydon]]. It was previously known as SM Pinoy <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7513854342/ photo]</small>, but underwent a change of name and management in mid-2013. However, there was no change in the food items stocked, and it generally seems to be much the same as before except that it now sells women's clothes as well. |

When [[Kake]] visited in July 2012, notable items in stock included: * snack foods such as crispy fried squid and chilli garlic roasted corn * frozen items such as pig's blood, beef lungs, taro, and grated cassava * canned goods such as banana blossoms in coconut milk * tapioca pearls * salted duck eggs (sold individually at the counter) * several types of dried noodles including my favoured brand of bean thread noodles (Longkou/龍口) |

Many of these were still in evidence in October 2013, after the change of management, though [[Kake]] only specifically looked for pig's blood, roasted corn, and Longkou noodles. |

Small Filipino supermarket on St George's Walk in Croydon.
Despite its location in a somewhat bleak and tucked-away shopping mall (the site of a planned regeneration project that never came to fruition), this little shop is well worth a visit for those with an interest in the cuisine of the Philippines.

Accessibility: No step to get in, and although the space is small it's relatively uncluttered.
