I am going to be spending some time in the Manila metro area, probably near MOA.am wondering where I can find the following:1.  Groceries that are similar to those in the US.  In particular, I want to find asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, corn and similar vegetables.  I am also interested in sliced turkey and ham and bacon that doesn't taste odd and meat that is not so damn fatty.  Ideally, I'd like to find a grocery store where I can find most anything I would find in the US, though I can certainly live without some of the processed junk like TV dinners and frozen pizza.

2.  Duplicate bridge that runs regularly.
3.  A casino that has Omaha poker or most any poker besides No-Limit Texas holdem, which is my least favorite form of poker.  I found several casinos with that game, but they did not spread anything else.4.  A Karaoke place / KTV that is NOT oriented towards selling sex or anything besides offering a place for people who actually want to just sing.  Hopefully one with a good selection of American music and not just all that sappy love song stuff that makes the Pinay's drool and me vomit.

5.  Quality restaurant food.  Sure, I know some US chains that serve decent enough food, but for a pretty high price, but I am talking about places that serve Filipino dishes with pork or beef that are not 50+% fat.   Are there some healthy Filipino foods?  Seafood and chicken are fairly healthy, but it seems like all the pork and beef is served with gravy or rice and I did not see much in the way of good vegetable dishes or even just cooked vegetables as a side dish.  Even a decent salad seems to be hard to find.   Wendy's served salad, but it was sub-par and too small for a míeal.

How would you like to be in a place that is:

Cleaner, safer, cheaper, quieter, more beautiful, with better access to nature, like beaches and trees? 

Then leave Manila. .

At the very least, don't stay near Mall of Asia.

May I ask why near mall of asia?
