Just tried some agar-agar that I bought at the Asian market. But it's not what I expected. It's seaweed bars from the Philippines, manufactured by Florence Foods, and comes in various colors (green, yellow and white). Well, I must say it's like eating paper or cardboard. There's no taste to it. I expected it to be a bit salty.
I also bought some Clover Chips, from the Philippines, which I never heard of before. I think I'll probably enjoy them. I noticed that that particular Asian market does not consistently carry certain food items. I went there this afternoon to get a phone card, and pick up some other stuff like canned squid. The market is a Chinese market, but caters to all east Asian nationalities. It carries alot of Philippine foodstuffs. There was no fresh pandisol available today. I also bought a can of Victoria's bangus. Seems like an appetizing snack for one day when I come home from work.
