“Mabuhay Oriental Market brings Asian groceries and Filipino products to Kalispell, Montana, owned and operated by Glenda Hamilton since 2005. Hamilton, who grew up helping at her grandparents' wet market in Tayabas, Philippines, relocated from Columbia Falls to Evergreen before expanding to Kalispell in 2015. The market specializes in hard-to-find Southeast Asian products, with Hamilton making monthly trips to Seattle warehouses to source up to 2,000 pounds of goods for her customers. She carries 20 different varieties of rice, rare Korean gochu-jang sauces, curry pastes, and specialty items from throughout Asia. Hamilton also operates MOGO (Mabuhay on the Go), a mobile delivery service using a 14-foot trailer to bring Asian groceries to customers throughout western Montana and Idaho. The market offers cooking classes to educate Flathead Valley residents about Southeast Asian cuisine, promoting cultural understanding through food education.”
