HL Supermarket is an excellent Chinese supermarket. They carry live seafood, meat, poultry, beverages, groceries, and SNACKS! Lots and lots of delicious Chinese snacks that some you can't even find in Chinatown's supermarket. And when you do, they're overpriced. But here at HL Supermarket, prices are lower and the quality is just as good!
For instance, the Brown Sugar Pearl Milk Ice Bar here is at least $2 less than what they sell it for at Chinatown's supermarket. The seaweed here are 2 for $2.19! It is the best value I've seen in NYC! Everything just seems so clean, neat, organized, and affordable at HL Supermarket. It makes me happy.
If you're looking for rice vinegar to make sushi, I recommend Mizkan Sushi Seasoning. It consists of invert sugar, water, distilled, vinegar, salt, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and monosodium glutamate. Whenever you see brown sugar, you know it's good stuff! I mean, look at Brown Sugar Pearl Milk! Popular as heck. My mom used my Mizkan Sushi Seasoning to make hot and sour soup and she says this vinegar is absolutely amazing! She could tell right away that it's different from all the other rice vinegar she had used in the past. It's also makes a delicious dressing for your salads!
I would not recommend buying the Yaki Sushi Nori roasted seaweed that I took a picture of. It doesn't have the seaweed aroma and it was not crispy. Also very hard to bite off.
The fishsnacks and minion fruit snacks were delicious though! They also have a variety of korean instant noodles that they sell in H Mart at the long island location. This place is great! I can't wait to come back and take some of my families with me.
