went to an Asian market-----

There is a new "H" mart that opened nearby, so DD and I took the bus there and OMgosh--what fun we had!!. We walked all around and oohh-ed and aah-ed over the many, MANY, wonderful things there. All the meats were gorgeous  and so many different cuts --veggies were the same and I could have filled up my cart with fresh herbs---prices were very reasonable--even found  tiny quail eggs--a dozen for under $4---- Was about an hour and we decided to get lunch --had a version of salisbury steak with gravy, rice with a runny egg over top --yummy--- and then we did some shopping. I bought 3 kinds of mushrooms that normally would cost a fortune elsewhere --got ******ake and cremini and one called King oyster mushrooms---AND THEN------on the way out-- we walked  into heaven--Woman Very Happy--beautiful pastries of every description---almost too pretty to eat--got a couple filled muffins and choc dipped waffle and grilled garlic sticks----that was amazing!!! Was such a fun trip!! Am looking for recipes for the mushies--thinking about grilling them with salmon for tonights dinner--maybe a little rice and fresh berries too!!

We have two in our area used to go often, the thrill wears off after a couple of years

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Don't think I'm cooking ducks feet any time soon ....

@wagirl Ignore the crass remark.  We also have an asian market we have loved for years!  It is very popular here and your correct the produce is amazing and good prices.

@wagirl  I'm so glad that you and your daughter had fun at your first visit to H-Mart 🤗🙌🛒🏪✨!  I loved reading your description of your first H-mart experience- I felt all of that same wonder and excitement when I went to H-mart for the first time back when I was in college on the East Coast. My gal pal drove me to H-Mart that day and I still remember it like it was yesterday: I got a pound of lychee fruit, delicious red date tea, Asian candy and I even got to eat at the H-Mart food court. I ordered a delicious Korean dish called "Jjajangmyeon" which is noodles with a Korean black bean sauce and it was topped with a sunny side egg.

 

     There's a new H-Mart on the outer edge of my city- I think I'll take the train there and go to H-Mart again sometime! Thank you for your post- I'm really glad that you and your daughter had such a fun time at H-Mart 🤗💗

We have some in my area and enjoy going there. It is usually a planned trip. Stopping by the bakery is a must.

I like the different vegetables offered. A lot of strange looking fish that I don't see in a regular grocery store. The meat cuts in small amounts are good for my non-professional knife skills and quite economical. If the stores were closer I would go there more regular.

Sounds like a fun trip...........ignore the snarks.  I never understand why if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.

How fun!  We don't have this exact mart close by, but we have a local, large one that I just love.  The produce selection is outstanding and the grandkids love the hot, stuffed buns.  Buns never make it as far as the car 🤣

 

ETA  as a memory test I tried once again to spell it  UWAJIMAYA.  My little brain is now done for the day.
