Ah! Rice Krispies!!! Funny! With all of the rice in Korea, you'd think this would be a big seller...but you can't find it here (well, probably in Hanam for an outrageous price!)!


You're right about that! I have a couple of bags of marshmallows my mother sent from home (still not sure why) so I figured I'd make some rice krispie squares. Found a box at Hannam supermarket tonight....16,500won. Insane! No rice krispie squares for me.

Guess I'll be making a lot of hot chocolate or something. What else does one do with marshmallows?

As for cereal, right now I've got cornflakes, almond flakes, cocoa puff things (my bf's not mine haha) and a container of homemade granola on the go.


What to do with marshmallows? If they're the big ones, you can always skewer them on a chopstick and "toast" them over the flame from your gas range! It's either that or drink a lot of hot chocolate!! Laughing

Anybody tried the Korean cereal that is powder of various grains, nuts? And powder of the red berry that's used in Samgetang, the jujube. Well I did recently. And mixed in powdered soybean which isn't roasted or cooked at all, is raw. Making half of the resulting powder mix raw soybean meal.

The method is mix the stuff up with water and quaff it down. A thousand gram bag is 10,000 won. And the raw soy meal is 1,500 won for 500 grams. Gag this stuff down at work: it makes you feel good and healthy. The powder's very fine. Anyone else gagging on this hearty slop?


Have you tried the cereals that Kellogg's make just for the Korean market? There's black sesame flakes, brown rice flakes and 'various grains' flakes. The black sesame one is really good and has the unusual trait of turning the milk a deep grey.

The cheapest is the "puffed rice" type cereal that's usually sold by street vendors selling those puffed "rice cake" type snacks. It IS slighly sweetened, though.
