Does anybody know of any Filipino Community in Oahu? Where do you find any Filipino Supermarket. Here in Sacramento we have Seafood City. We are planning on relocating there because my husband is being offered a job. I think i will be homesick without my fish sauce and other Filipino food.

Most supermarkets in Hawai'i (even the Safeways) would have things like patis. 99 Ranch Market would also be a good place to look.

Re: Filipino Community
I was born in Manila and grew up there so I'm looking for Tagalog speaking people. But it really doesn't matter. Just knowing some Filipinos will help me get by. Of course, I am also looking forward to meeting people of different races. Not prejudice. Just thinking that finding some Filipino will help me feel right at home while I am adjusting to a new place. I really love being in Hawaii. It's beautiful. Just a little worried if the job being offered to my husband will afford the expensive rent. I am also going to look for a job.

Once you've expanded your horizons beyond Waikiki you should have no problem feeling right at home! There's also the Filipino Community Center in Waipahu.
