Pasalubong from Singapore

December 15, 2007

I often hear of balikbayan boxes from the US containing Nike rubber shoes, M& M chocolates, Coffee in Bottles and Barbie Dolls.

If ever there is such a thing as Balikbayan Box from Singapore what do you think will it contain?

Well, just to give you an idea of the things I plan(but might not want to bring home) in my box for Xmas are:

1) 2.5 kilos of chicken wings(the wings are packed in 2.5 kilos) which costs $6 or about P180(cheap di ba) for 2.5 kilos which means a kilo is less than P90

2) Cloves of Garlic in Singapore are very much bigger than in the Philippines and you can buy a dozen of them only for a $1.

3) Three in One Coffee and tea ($2.8 per pack of 30 sachets);

4) The most famous pasalubong of soap (lux soap each pack containg 6  bars selling at $1.7)

5) Thai rice(hate to say it but rice sold here is cheaper and has better quality). 5 kg would cost about $6.

6) An LCD Tv. The prices of Plasma and LCD has been dropping with the lowest priced at about $300. 

7) Latest handphone or cellphone model(which comes for free if you are renewing your line or subscription)

These are the items that are worth bringing back home this Xmas.
