A trip to NY to visit my parents wouldn't be complete without my mother insisting that we go to a mega Korean supermarket and loading me down with more food than I can pack into my small suitcase.
How great is the mega Korean supermarket! I bow down to its greatness...I build a shrine of fresh fruits, Shepherds purse, rice cakes, soondae, yoju to you, oh you beautiful establishment of so much food! What else do they have: all sorts of fresh produce, fruits and vegetables and some things you won't recognize if you are not Korean, lots and lots of fish, lots and lots of meats, multiple assortments of ramen, dried red peppers, red pepper flakes, dried vegetables and weeds for making into banchan, wonderful packages of Korean cookies and sweets including my favorite puffed rice sheets, many different kinds of rice cakes, a whole selection of tofu and miso, a wonderful selection of kimchee!!, rice cakes, Korean bakery goods, cds, makeup, dishes, steel chopsticks, rice makers, lunchboxes, and more than can fit in one review....
Seriously, it's more food than the eye can take it. Plus, they were giving out tons of samples the day I went, including a sample for fried rice cakes. Fried rice cakes....yum.
Oh, and their soondae is really good. As well as their fried rice cakes with sweet beans in the middle. And I bought back a bunch of food to SF in my suitcase.
