I am home... sorta

Finally found a Korean Market near my sister's place!!

Whenever I'm looking for inspiration, a leisurely walk along the aisles of a supermarket never fails to amuse me! There's always some new pasta, some new spice, some new herb that you would find which would trigger curiosity and make you want to rush back to the test kitchen!

Such a simple stroll around a supermarket is made more special for me when its a Korean market! Whenever I enter one, I always get inspired by seeing the snacks I used to eat during my stay in Seoul and immediately reminding me of all the dishes we had and how I want to recreate them.

Finally after several weeks, my sister and I found a Manna Oriental Market just a few blocks away form her place!

Aside from selling the usual Korean groceries, Manna sells their own homemade dishes..


Car and I bought some Japche and Bossam for dinner tonight






Together with a large bowl of ramen 
(a regular pack of kimchi flavoured ramer spruced up with spam and tofu) 
and dinner is served!






And for dessert.. a huge slice of double chocolate cake from Raley's
We kinda left Korea for dessert haha!
