  Try the Landmark Supermarket. I buy mine from Chef's Nook in Mandaluyong, it's around Php230 for a pack.

  Hello Curious Student!
  
  In my suking supermarket, I find them near the refrigerated fresh produce area where the tofu is also located.
  
  Have you checked the Rustans Supermarkets there yet?

  hi, i wonder where i could buy the vietnamese rice wrappers here in our country? it's an unusual ingredient for us since ready-made wrappers available in our market are filipino version and flour-based. i really do hope you could give me the names of stores and supermarkets where i can buy them. i'm based in ceby by the way but you can suggest me store names that are located in manila. thanx
