Hey I found a great site that sells western food online in Korea. The site is www.grocerymall.net
Some stuff is cheaper, some isn't, but its really nice that you can get everything delievered to you....if you spend more than 30,000W, you get is shipped free. They are based out of Jinju.

Thanks, I checked it out, and it sure saves shipping from the States.

I saw that 22,000w hunk of cheddar, but it doesn't say how large it is. There's virtually no cheese in my city, so I'm interested. Any idea? If it's too small, there's always the Red Door in Itaewon...

Personally I go to COSTCO. They have all the western food I need. Nachos, cheese salsa, dill pickles, and much more

I live in Daegu so I have the comfort of going to Carefour, Costco, Walmart etc., but it would take a whole day just to get everything I can get in one shot. I don't have a car, so its more conveient for me. About the size of the cheese, its huge, the other half is in the freezer right now and that part doesn't have the weight on it. I would think its about 2kg. Costco is great but even the ones in Seoul sometimes don't have this or that. Its a crap shoot every time you go. I got chef boyardee and Cool Ranch Doritos...other times, not even Campbells....good luck,

The Benifit of ordering food from a web site is that it is delivered to your house. You don't have to do any travelling or work. I know I can get all that stuff elsewhere, but I must go to about 5 different stores all around the city. I guess I am getting lazier in my old age.

There is also www.Yoricome.com which has a larger selection.

Browsed www.Yoricome.com and boy was I impressed. Larger selection then www.grocerymall.net and in some cases better prices. But all in korean so ordering is going to be a touch difficult. To browse western food on the site enter in Mikuk (hangul) in the search area and you will get about 700 different items.

Ya-ta Boy have you order from Yoricome.com? How did you find the service? How did you pay?

If someone who has the time and korean ability browse the site and tell us what there is?

Ack! Yoricome is selling Hondashi (Japanese bonito fish soup stock) .... does this mean it's an expensive "import" in Korea????

I'll die without my Hondashi...

I'm assuming there would be a Korean equivalent, no?

I just checked out www.yoricome.com and it's a bomb! Man, oh, man! So much to choose from. It's a shame they don't have the site translated into English.

I have just been going page by page to see what's there and each page is a wonderful suprise. They even have taco kits.
