I would like to check out local ingredients, markets, etc. Do you have any leads for me on the best shops and markets to explore? Or any resources where I might find more info on buying the best ingredients while I'm in Aruba?

I have shopped at Lings in Aruba. Mon Mar 09 05:55:10 -0700 2009 4422511 27444 phelana 1 4486734 We shop at Lings and Kong Hing. We try Ling's first but there are some things at Kong you can't get at Lings and vice versa. The container comes in on Thursday so milk is usually available on Friday as well as the shelves stocked up. Go down to Certified (they're all in the same area) to Huchada Bakery for some of the best raisin bread I've ever had. Very moist. I don't like Certified itself but Huchada is next to it.
