Also, off topic but we were looking at houses with our real estate agent the other day and this one house had a kimchi refridgerator...whaaat? So crazy! Our agent (who is Korean) was telling us that it keeps the kimchi at the perfect temperature, etc etc....wow! I was impressed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-1084771 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 09:03:57 +0000 dolphin 1084771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always gets the biggest jar of kimchi they carry whenever we go </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-1084656 Fri, 13 Sep 2013 08:24:10 +0000 regberadaisy 1084656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: yay!

I think you may be thinking of a roll cake? A spongy log-shaped cake with cream and/or fruit filling. Those are good, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-899784 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 19:17:15 +0000 fancyfunction 899784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: Oh no - I never thought of that! But I've never bought apples there b/c they're too big for me to finish in one sitting anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-899655 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:21:22 +0000 spaniellove 899655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SupernovaJ: Um, completely unnatural. But I think the packaged fruit (in packs/boxes) is chosen to look a certain way because you're supposed to give only the biggest and most appealing fruit.</p> <p>@mrsmate: What is castella? I remember hearing about it as a kid but never knew what it was except that maybe it was cream-filled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-899638 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:11:55 +0000 SupernovaJ 899638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Hmart but their fruit and produce is so unusually large and declicious I have a hard time believing it's all natural. Prob not....but have you seen their Fuji apples?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-899217 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 15:18:16 +0000 mrsmate 899217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The one in ma has a food court. I always get kalguksu or sujaebi when I go. There's also a bakery and I get castella to go. Yum! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898361 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:21:54 +0000 spaniellove 898361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shutterbug: There are more non-Asians than Asians at my Hmart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898354 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:20:02 +0000 spaniellove 898354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me a long time to find gluten-free dwenjang (soybean paste) and kochujang (hot pepper/chili paste), so I thought I'd post a photo. It's not just any sauce in a glass jar! If you live in the Northeast your store might carry these? </p> [attach=2312/13/mp9mpf.600x448.Photo-Jul-01--12-16-22-PM.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898308 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 11:09:25 +0000 Alivoo01 898308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I don't speak Korean either, but they seem to understand just fine. They never seem happy though. LOL!! I just tell them how many pounds, then before they close the lid, extra marinade.</p> <p>I don't know what the lady punched in the scale last time we went, but we got 4lbs of Kalbi and the printed sticker price was $60. What the.... So that was fun to get corrected. LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898257 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:56:41 +0000 dolphin 898257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always get the biggest jar of kimchi he can find there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898244 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:53:43 +0000 Shutterbug 898244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rsp213: ditto! There's an H Mart down the street from my work, and I'd love to go, but as a non-Asian, I think I'd be lost, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898223 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:46:41 +0000 rsp213 898223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh good post! There is one near me and I haven't been in yet. I am feeling intimidated for some reason! My hubs and I love all types of Asian food and I would love to start cooking on my own, rather then relying on takeout all the time.</p> <p>Not to threadjack but if anyone had a list of basics (including brands) that I should stock up on that would be super helpful :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898217 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:45:30 +0000 T-Mom 898217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: that's so funny.. I always try to say as little as possible to the ladies who work that stand.. I just say how many pounds and what kind because they are grumpy!! Maybe I'll get DH to ask for extra marinade next time. And it doesn't help that I don't speak Korean :-) . I feel like it makes them extra mad at me.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898201 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:42:53 +0000 Alivoo01 898201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with T-mom on the pre-marinated meats! So convenient!</p> <p>@spaniellove: When they're packing the boxes, we always ask for extra marinade. Our H-mart has the already packaged marinated meat and a lil stand where you tell them how many pounds of what you want and they'll pack it for you then. We always purchase from the lil stand. It's right next to the pre-packaged cooler in the meat department. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898119 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:23:39 +0000 regberadaisy 898119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish there was one near me! Next time I go home to NYC I'm going to one. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898114 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:22:42 +0000 T-Mom 898114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: Ooh yes the kimbap, me too. That's a great tip on the marinade. The amount I get kind of varies from time to time... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898100 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:18:43 +0000 spaniellove 898100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: I like to add a little extra marinade and some scallions because I don't know about your Hmart, but mine always skimps on the marinade!</p> <p>Also the ready-made kimbap when they have it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898097 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:18:30 +0000 fancyfunction 898097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think they have a great produce selection and it's fairly inexpensive. I also like trying new things from the bakery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898089 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:16:40 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 898089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as T-mom: all the pre-marinated stuff and already made panchan. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-898066 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:10:49 +0000 T-Mom 898066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-marinated bulgogi or kalbi meat. I keep an emergency stash in my freezer and will be using some tonight actually :-) . My kids also like the bakery items from the Tous Les Jours shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-favorite-item-from-h-mart#post-897997 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 09:51:43 +0000 regberadaisy 897997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think "H Mart" is a chain Korean supermarket, right?</p> <p>What's your favorite item from H Mart? </p>
