Pinoy Products in the US

I was in the US West Coast last month, and was delighted to see a strong Pinoy community.  We were in Vallejo, so already had an inkling that Pinoys abound there.  It was validated when we went downtown Vallejo and saw the signs ourselves.

Max's Fried Chicken Meal for $14.99


Chowking was also there.


Not surprised to see their famous Halo-Halo, costing 4bucks.


Sister company Red Ribbon was also there.  With their cakes priced like a US-cake, but of course


And of course, the Bee has to be there.


The menu looks the same as that of Manila's with the glaring exception of this Chickenjoy Popcorn, available outside the Philippines.   And by the way the Jollibee gravy is called "World Famous Gravy".  




It felt a little strange to see very familiar Pinoy products but with Dollar tags.  Like these famous chips for example, priced at 4 for 3$.  Of course expensive, but not that expensive compared to local(US) chips.


Confirmed! The infamous Pinoy Coconut Juice has strong following in the Western Hemisphere


Cupp Keyk and Skyflakes must bridge the homesickness of Pinoys in the US
