This past weekend, all the boys went hunting, and all us girls stayed home. It was so quiet! Wow! On Saturday, we spent the day in Colorado Springs going to a HUGE antique shop, Goodwill, Jersey Mike's, L&L, and my personal favorite, the Korean Market. I hadn't been before *gasp*, and I was dying to see what it was like.
We pulled up, and the wonderful smells were already making me extremely happy. With the workers chattering to each other in Korean, the smell of fish and Kimchi, and the wonderful foods filling every corner of the store, I was completely overwhelmed in that magical kind of way. I've never wanted to go to a country than I want to go to Korea.
After looking at every item on every shelf, here's what we ended up with:
Seaweed, of course. I personally only like it with Kimbap, but other members of my family LOVE to eat it straight. :)
Ottogi Curry Powder.
I've never tried it, but I love curry so I'm sure it'll be amazing. Yummmmm!
The best kind of ramen: Chapagetti!
It's thick and extremely savory and perfect. Once you have it, there's no going back.
Sweet Bean Paste!
To be eaten on ice cream, pancakes, inside mochi, and so much more.
Samancho ice cream fish things!
These were one of our favorites in Hawaii, and we kinda low-key freaked out when we found them at the Korean market. They're sweet waffle-sort of batter-ish thing on the outside (it's good, I promise), and then there's vanilla ice cream and sweet bean paste on the inside. The most perfect combination that has ever existed, tbh.
Chinese Quince Tea?
It's a jelly texture and has bits of quince in it. You stir it into hot or cold water and it makes tea, apparently. Has anyone ever tried this? If you have, please let me know.
Face masks!!!
It is a well-known fact that Korea has some of the best beauty products ever. And face masks are my favorite! They make your skin smooth and soft, and moisturize like no product that I've seen before. Plus they make you look really funny which is also a plus. Haha! Out of curiosity, I tried the snail one last night, and it's my favorite. Slightly slimy, but it made my skin look so good!
Also, as we were checking out, there was a Korean lady who was impressed that I'm learning the language and watch Kdramas and make Kimbap. It sorta made my day. 😄
That's all, folks! I hope to explore more Korean markets throughout Colorado Springs and compare prices and such. But until then...
Live long and prosper and 사랑해❤
