Tony and May were very friendly and helpful. We tried the cheese ice cream which was packed with flavour and very delicious! The store had a huge variety of Filipino goods. Definitely will come back again for the ice cream!

Had such a great experience at this local grocery/convenience store! The Asian guy Chris working there was so lovely and really helpful, he took the time to help me find everything I needed and we had a nice little chat too. The coffee is cheap and good, and the staff are just wonderful overall. Definitely coming back again and will be recommending this place to my friends!

Great Professional Service! I had trouble online shopping until I called up the number! A real person answered & the owner assisted me step by step with my Filo Products over the phone! Exceptional care for their customers! Will most definitely shop online again for sure! MABUHAY Philippines 🇵🇭

Went Ube hunting all over town until found this place.They have a great selection of unique snacks and pantry staples. The service was great. I walked away with condensed milk ube, frozen ube, ube paste, ube wafers, ube cakes, and ube chips. 🫐

Heaps of filipino grocery selections. They have chips, tender juicy hotdogs, filo snacks and frozen items. Here is a snap pic of what I bought today. Very friendly staff and owner. Happy that they are finally open and very accessible. 😊👍

Enter this shop looking for basmati rice (not available) and discovered the most amazing range of Latin products (Mexican and Colombian). Dried spices (guasca, ajiaco mix), sauces, packaged sweets, frozen products (patacón, papa criolla, pan de bono..., Arepas, queso doble crema) Check the photo for Mexican products. Very friendly staff too.

Best Filipino store so far in Melbourne. Stocks are always new. They have price tags and info in all their products. Unlike most other Filipino stores where you will only know the price when you ask the seller. Very different from other Filipino stores who don’t have price tags and you will only know the prices unless you asked the seller or when they are already being punched-in the cash register when you’re paying.
