Too bad, but I guess the demographics were just not there. I think that sort of ethnic market and takeout requires a critical mass of local residents with that cultural background, which we just don’t have. (On the other hand, an upscale Filipino restaurant might have worked better, since people will venture out for unfamiliar ethnic food but might not have a need for the groceries from “home”.)

Really enjoy your blog. Am anxiously awaiting your post about Draegers and any other quality markets you may know. (Perhaps a comparison of local markets?!!) Please keep posting!

BTW, did you notice that the Philipino market at Bernal and Valley closed?
