I was very excited to read in D's blog about
his latest find -- Bangkok's own Pinoy Sari-sari store. I was planning to visit it this weekend when I got an invitation from D that we visit the store last night. So I rushed to Silom after work yesterday.
I swear I peed in my pants when we entered the small store. Boy Bawang! Datu Puti! Skyflakes! Extra Derm! Mr Chips! Eskinol! Del Monte Fruit Cocktail! Silver Swan! C2! They even have TV Freaking Patrol LIVE! And some DVDs of Judy Ann, Sharon, and Vilma movies.
Divine, divine, divine!!!
Oh, it’s like seeing dear, old friends once again.
The store was set up just two weeks ago by a gang of Filipino singers in Bangkok. Tucked in a corner is a table where customers can have a drink of C2 while munching on Chippy, which we ended up doing. I saw some Filipino customers ransacking the store’s stock of cheese and Lucky Me pancit bihon. Apparently Thais also buy pancit bihon but they complain that it’s not spicy at all. Of course.
Now I know where to tambay when I want to swap chismis or watch ASAP and The Buzz.
Go check
D's entry for better pictures of the store.
