"I bought 3 packs of Chicharones on 10/29 which was marked 11/15. I gave 2 away. I assumed 11/15 was the sell-by date. I opened to eat some on 11/3, but it tasted moldy already maanta in Tagalog . This place doesn 't issue receipt. I took two pieces but ended throwing it away. So I tried to give it back almost bag full, for at least a replacement not refund. The lady owner took it to the kitchen and came out with an alibi that 3 weeks ago, they changed packaging. Mine looked older packaging that must have been purchased later than 3 weeks ago. Simply, she must have been aware 3 weeks ago that they were selling stale items. I can 't prove the purchase date without a receipt. I said but it says 11/15 here and should still be edible, right? For $12.50 I won 't cheat you and remember this face, I buy here all the time. She stares with a blank look. So I said, you can have it back and eat it. She still didn 't say a word, so I left. Watch this place, cause they sell stale food. I hope she can stay in business with that kind of attitude. The way they stock pile the bibingka, puto, kakanin etc. I don 't think they check them for freshness to get rid of the old ones. They just want to sell for profit. Make sure you get receipt whatever you buy. If you get food poisoning you won 't have a proof of purchase from Ima 's."
