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.

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 grocery shop 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)
  • several types of dried noodles including my favoured brand of bean thread noodles (Longkou/龍口)

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

Last visited by Kake et al., January 2013.
