Historical version 1 of Eurasia, CR0 1YG (view current version)

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.

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); and several types of dried noodles including my favoured brand (Longkou/龍口) of bean thread noodles.

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

Last visited by bob, July 2012.
