The wife loves Meusli for breakfast. Yeah, I can make it but it makes small batches and I've less time that I used to have. Anyone know of a good source? Costco had it in Ilsan for a few weeks but no more.

Speaking of Costco, Ilsan no longer has organic peanut butter. Not sure if that is due to the peanut problems in the states or lack of sales. Does your local Costco have it?

Cheers

Several E-Marts I've gone to have muesli. A few types. One was located in the organics section, having a hefty price tag. Another was in the cereals section, not so exorbitant---in a purple box, I think. Give E-Mart a shot.

I should have been clearer and had more details. The E-mart stuff is the cnady version of a good product. It's super sweet and crap-tastic. It's also insanely expensive at about 13000W for 6 ounces our so. I'll look for the purple box.

Cheers

There's also the ethnic grocery, in Itaewon, past Foreign Mart, past What the Book!; a left turn. I think. Sorry I can't be any definite help with this matter. I've come to settle for variations of certain foodstuffs, myself. Muesli included.

There are a few granola-ish cereals I've bought at Costco which aren't so sickeningly sweet, and that's as close as I've gotten to muesli here. I once went on a vacation to the Philippines and just brought back a bunch of bags of it that I found in a supermarket. As if you need another reason for a holiday!

Seen some in Homeplus, but similar prices to Emart. May be better quality, but don't know for certain.
Try looking on ezshopkorea.com and stock up on a few of their varieties.

I also miss organic peanut butter by Kirkland (I used to get it a good price on Gmarket). Found good natural stuff at Emart, but it's not the same so I only use it moderately now, which should help my waistline.

Funny coincidence. My wife just found an online shopping site and ordered some German muesli for me. http://wellbeinghouse.co.kr/
