Hello, K-BAP followers, this is S.Choi again. For the 5th K-BAP Story, I decided to post the
first ranking post. I have posted some stories and recipes about Korean
foods. However, I didn’t tell where you can buy those foods and ingredients.
Thus, I chose top 5 places to buy Korean foods and ingredients. The list is
ordered by the accessibility from worst to best.
1. H Mart. (Nearest: 6335 GA-85,
Riverdale, GA 30274.)
H Mart has chosen as the worst
shopping places to buy Korean foods. The H Mart is a Korean shopping center
brand locates in some states of U.S. You can get anything you want from here.
Unfortunately, H Mart is the only shopping place you can’t find in Alabama
among top 5 places. The nearest store of H Mart is in Riverdale, Georgia. However,
if you enter the H
Mart’sonline market, you can get H mart’s items through delivery.
2. Seoul Market. (1841 Eastern Blvd,
Montgomery, AL 36117.)
Seoul Market is placed second in
the list. Fortunately, it is located in Montgomery, Alabama. Actually, Seoul
Market is my most favorite market in the list. It is not a big super market,
but you can get most of your needed ingredients from here. I usually buy rice,
ramen, and kimchi in Seoul Market. Enter this Google Map, and you would easily find
where it is.
3. Capitol Farmers Market. (Capital Plaza
Shopping Center, 2256 E South Blvd, Montgomery, AL 36116)
This place is not only a market
for just Korean food, but also an oriental food market. Because it is an
oriental food market, you could find Korean ingredients and other Asian
countries’ foods also. Actually, I don’t know about this shopping center more
than these facts. So, if you wonder more about this place, please go and let me
know.
4. Wal-Mart.
Some of you have already seen that
there are some Korean foods and ingredients in Asian food section of all
Wal-Mart. Yes. There are some Korean foods including ramen and kimchi in
Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart is the easiest off-line market place to go for purchasing
Korean foods. As a spoiler of future post, the reviews of Wal-Mart’s Korean
foods will be uploaded.
5. Amazon.com.
This well-known online shopping
site got the best accessibility to buy Korean foods. After I searched about
Korean foods on Amazon, I was so surprised by the variety and amounts of Korean
foods it sells. You can get anything about Korean food from here with the least
effort. If you enter this Amazon website, you would find
whatever you want to order.
It is difficult to find Korean food markets and restaurants in United States.
However, as the followers of this K-BAP blog, just try to find those places
near you are living. The desire for Korean foods would not be satisfied just
through reading these posts. Try to buy and cook ingredients and foods, and you
will be captured by the fascination of Korean foods. Thank you
