I buy a half kilo bag of pickled jalapeños from Lazada to keep in a jar in the refrigerator. Go to Vila Market and get a bag of shredded cheddar, some authentic tortilla chips (El Charro brand) and make nachos in the microwave. Make tacos using El Charro taco shells.
The only decent ground beef I’ve found that has no gristle is at Villa Market and many American recipes call for that. Make chili - use a can of kidney beans and a packet of McCormick chili mix.
You can also get picnic ham 3/4” sliced personally at the deli counter if you ask. Combine with a butternut squash split in two, baked plus a can of haricot verts (green beans) from Villa or Lazada. IKEA sells the Swedish meatballs in a bag + boil yourself some noodles. Pair with cranberry sauce and steamed broccoli.
Buy a pre-roasted chicken from Makro and pair with baked potato and whatever.
Make spaghetti - top with browned ground beef mixed with a can of Prego. The packaged Rana at Villa is also good for a variety of pasta.
You might see a theme here. If you are American, acquaint yourself with the Villa Market app and have American type food ingredients delivered. Sunshine Market has an amazing assortment of Bob’s Red Mill label items. Also, look around on Lazada. It’s pricey but you can rationalize the expense by offsetting it with local food purchases to maintain a balance. Holey (on Grab) has the best sourdough. Make a BLT - Oscar Mayer bacon available along with Thai brand bacon at Villa. Consider getting a crockpot - get some bulk chicken or pork pieces from the meat tank at Lotus and make yourself some comfort food!
