Connie’s Kitchen Deli, Part I

More than a decade ago, a friend of mine made me taste the pasta he made with Connie’s Kitchen Salsa Amaya. I was amazed because it came straight from the bottle but it tasted great! Also, it was all-natural and had no preservatives! At that time, there were only two or three varieties of sauce produced by Connie’s Kitchen, Salsa Amaya and Bacalao Filipino and were available only in select supermarkets. I had to go to Rustan’s Shangri-La just to buy them. Thankfully, Rustan’s Trinoma was built in my neck of the woods and it carries (at least until I moved out of the area) Connie’s Kitchen expanded products.

Last year, I discovered that Connie’s Kitchen has a branch near the building where I live. It is across Our Lady of Mount Carmel, where I attended mass before its renovation, but due various reasons I did not enter the store until last week.

I was pleasantly surprised at the variety of products inside the store. Aside from Connie’s Kitchen’s bottled products, there are edible items from all over the Philippines, from Sagada in the north to Davao in the south. They are beautifully-packed and are perfect as pasalubong items from the Philippines.

I planned to buy Salsa Amaya and Chorizo and Mushroom Sauce, but the latter was out of stock that day.
