Peter if you're in the North Shore or Northern Beaches there are two Filipino food stores I'm aware of: one in Chatswood (Lemongrove Shopping Centre) and the in Dee Why on the main road. Good luck.

Paborito!!!
Crab is my alltime paborito! And this recipe makes it so easy to have all of my basic favourite ingredients to come all together...i.e. crab meat, zucchini flower, freshly grated coconut (or use thawed frozen young coconut meat*) and for vinaigrette I replaced half of cane vinegar with 50ml kalamansi juice*. Salute to Chef Peter Kuruvita and will definitely try the flying fish restaurant in Sydney! NOTE: * Young coconut and kalamansi fruits are available in filipino supemarket

Floury vs. waxy potatoes

Waxy potatoes tend to hold their shape and remain firm and compact when boiled. Floury potatoes become fluffy and airy inside and are best used for baking, roasting, mashing and deep-frying. Due to their low sugar content they tend to fall apart when boiled.

Fondant
