mmm yummy! my mouth is watering now thinking of sinigang. I can't find any sinigang mix here in ipswich either, maybe I'm not looking hard enough. But i'm so glad I found Datu Puti soy sauce and vinegar so I'm going to cook ADOBO tomorrow!

:xxgrinning--00xx3: we've got some pechay growing in the garden (in a growbag under a coldframe) with spinach, red onion and spring onion :D

We have found lots of veg in the local pakistani shops also like: sayote, gabi, mooli radish, ampalaya and proper mangoes (not apple ones) :BouncyHappy:

It would be nice if the big supermarkets stocked more though like mama sita mixes etc. (or sisig in a can hehehe I loved that :) )

Ooh, thanks for the info. We have a big Tesco near my place, hopefully they have them as well.

I found a nice Asian store in China town that has a lot of Filipino food. They even have pandan leaves and sitaw, although I think it's from Thailand.

tala get some seeds (bak choi/pechay) from a garden centre, I plant them in a grow bag and use a cold frame (penny uses a green house) then just add water :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Just buy 2 growing bags of soil and spread the seeds there.

I have Philippines pechay seeds here given by Ate Ping and it grows fantastic

Do u want some?

am really keen to try it out. not much of a gardener though.
so i don't even know what a growing bag is.
is the growing bag kept outdoors or indoors?
how much maintenance does it need?

Growbags are bags with soil/compost in (bought from garden centres), you put them outside, just a little water is needed for maintenance.

You could just plant the vegies in the ground if you have a suitable garden :icon_lol:

If your going to grow get decent soil,John Innes Mix,or Arthur Bowers,lot better than a peat compost :ARsurrender:
