    not advisable to bring foods here , risky , if ever magdala kayo i declare nyo ng inde maabala sa airport ... actually maabala pa rin kayo kasi iinspectionin yang ng customs .. at merong risk na kumpiskahin yang pagkain na dala nyo

    Google for Everything !!!

    Hmmm.. now this really confuses me. my housemate's mom just got here today and she has a ton load of food (like half her baggage!) assorted dried fish/seafood, assorted pinoy snacks, assorted pastries, mama sita mixes, bagnet. may caldero pa at kitchen utensils. no issues. she just declared it. her flight is from naia-changi-perth (jetstar).

    so, suwertehan lang siguro talaga kasi ive seen chinese tourists get ALL their food stuff thrown in the bin (Border Patrol tv show).
