Hard to find inredients

[Kenshiro]

---

Im looking for a food store where they sell some ingredients that are hard to find like for example curry paste. I really cannot find this ingredient in malls.
Can someone recommend me a specialty store for cooks?

At Carbon Market, near the junction on the end of Plaridel St. (Cebu Overseas Hardware)....there are dozens of stores there selling Chinese, Indian and Arabic spices at a price way lower than at malls and "specialty" stores....can't tell you which particular shop to go to...just browse and look around....it's even in the sidewalks at the end of Manalili St....

I've tried but they seem to be out of stock everytime I go there. I saw boxes before in metro Ayala but the merchandiser told me that someone has bought them already. That was about 10 shopping carts full! But thanks anyway, maybe I'll get lucky next time
