supermarkets is my other obsession. my exhilaration reaches its peak every time i'm in a supermarket so blogging about it is the perrrrfect to procrastinate!
So,
we went to the nearest supermarket and that's Lotte Mart, located in the basement of the amusement park, Lotte World. (Jamsil Station)
We chose to go at 8p.m, (it shuts at 10) thinking it won't be too crowded just 2 hours before the closing time.. but oh boy.
i wanted to scream my head off. every isle was packed with families with little kids who couldn't contain their high-pitched voices, (don't get me wrong I love kids) and
this could have almost ruined my fun!
anyway, here are some photos.
rows and rows of tofu! different types of tofu - hard ones and soft ones (usually for soups or for frying) mmm-mmmmm!
environmentally-unfriendily packed kiwis
more fruits
fish fish fish
veggies
kilos of rice
dried seaweed
different kinds of grains
a tiny food-courty place. if you get tired from shopping then you can take a seat and have something to eat! but today it was so packed i couldn't even see what they had on their menu (i'm guessing they have noodle with soup and some sushi rolls)
Now, i know my friend F.R. will cringe.. but here is a photo of my favourite Natto, fermented beans! they could smell similar to something that comes out of your rear end if you're not used to it.. but i love every bit of it. really good for your health too!
and of course, the market will be incomplete without several sections entirely dedicated to Kimchi!
yes, they are ALL soy sauce. Kikkoman isn't the only soy sauce brand!
The best thing about supermarkets here is that there are lots of sample tables available, from tofu, mushrooms, fruits... to milk, coffee, bread.
Here's a naughty tip:
if you're broke and hungry, you can enjoy a more-than-20-course meal. Just pretend you're buying the product..
so yea, we started off pretty mildly--
and ended up like this. my grandma won't go hungry for a whiiiiile.
