 |
|
Just saw it this last weekend. It's near the mosque, just past Marhaba Mart (which is where you should stop to buy some Sundip green chili sauce, kheer, indian sweets, chai mix, chutneys, lime juice, ect...) kittycorner to Muslim Mart (big orange sign). Can't miss it, little place with big Chinese characters on the sign.
If you're ever trying to get in good with an older Korean guy (security guards, fellow teachers, neighbors) a gift of some premium Chinese white lightning may go a long way. They also have my favorite...Chinese herbal-flavored sunflower seeds. Spices, bluish-black pickled dofu, preserved veg, a whole host of sauces...sausage, chicken, pork, Chinese beer, all kinds of good stuff.
I don't work there...I just like shopping for weird stuff. Not an advert. |

Chinese people are dirty. They no wash. Chinese food very 느끼한.
Why go to China? Korea number one. Chinese food is not delicious.
Do you know Great Wall? It was built by 세종대왕. 전안문 too. |

| I always thought of Tsingtao was a Heineken clone. I never been a fan of the Asian clones that were supposed to taste like skunked Dutch pilsners. Pilsner is beer-flavored water for school children and grown men who don't want to admit to their buddies that they don't like beer...which is why the market for schlop like Coors, Bud, Busch, PBR and other beer-flavored beverages is so large....telling your pals you don't like beer or football is like saying you really prefer Rachel Ray and virgin daquiries. |

They're cheap and better than Hite, holmes. I'd do normal supermarkets but the beer is warm. That's preemptive beer drinking necessity right there. |

Crikey you people.. give it a rest.
Everything kills you, you might as well kill yourself first now, so you don't suffer later on.
Can someone please answer me - where can I get mango chutney in Korea? |

| Marhaba Mart, Muslim Mart, or the International Market prolly. The latter has the widest variety of chutney, I reckon. |

I like China.
I have a Chinese made dvd player. It plays everything. It never tells me I'm in the wrong region. It never tells me my dvd is no good. It does exactly what I want it to do. It plays everything.
Oh, and it only cost $25.
It's a fine example of what China does right. |
