We live in Central Pattaya, the GF only has lived here 3 months and does not know where to go shopping for sauces and other ingredients to make Filipino foods. With the number of Filipinos here I would believe there must be Filipino grocery stores or stores with Filipino sections any help appreciated.

Pop into the FLB Bar on Walking Street. They have a Filipino band and maybe they can give your girl some suggestions.

Can't help with what you are looking for in Pattaya, but my Filipina girlfriend knows a place in Bangkok which you may or may not be aware of. It is actually a Filipino restaurant (called 'Mabuhay') but stocks ingredients and other Filipino treats. It is on the Petchburi road near Pantip plaza. Go into Soi 19 and look for the 'Four Seasons International hotel' on the right hand side, then immediatley look for a very small soi opposite the hotel on the left hand side. About 10 metres inside this small soi, on the left is Mabuhay restaurant. By the way, there are quite a few Filipinos working around this area who might be able to give you other pointers.

There is also a Filipino association in Pattaya that gets together regularly. You might want to look that up. I believe the details can be found on the pattaya mail website. Good luck.

The Filipino food at The New Orleans Cafe in Pattaya is some of the best that I have ever had. Maybe they would share where to buy ingriedients if you had a meal there.

How's the quality of the food at the restaurant? Worth the trip?

A Western man living with a Filipina girlfriend in Thailand is sheer brilliance. Trust me, I know.
