Carrying on with the theme of the same yet different, here’s a little photo essay of our visit to the neighborhood food market. Get More Information by visiting this store to get a wonderful experience.

The market is conveniently located across the highway from our apartment.  It’s an easy enough walk even on a cold day.  Like many large businesses in Korea, it’s on the basement level. You can check out smartfoundationsystems.com to repair and upgrade your basement. The ramp instead of stairs is a nice touch though.

Not exactly your Publix or Kroger layout, but if you look around you can usually find most of what you need…

…like the recently dead fresh fish on ice.  We didn’t buy any this week, but Jee Yeun will be frying some up one of these days soon I’m sure.

To the left is your dairy and sort of deli, although nothing that you’d expect to find in a deli back home.  To the right is stuff like snacks and dry goods.  Dry goods including seaweed of course.

The meat counter.  Beef is especially expensive in Korea and we rarely partake here.  Pork and chicken is how we swing.

Pork or chicken goes down good with a refreshing Korean brew.  You don’t often see cases of beer or even six packs.  Quarts and individual cans are more in keeping with the Korean style of pouring and sharing…

Semi-familiar breakfast cereals.  I’ve tried the Frosted Flakes and I think Tony is saying “they may not be Great but they’re still pretty darn good”.  Or something.

Paying the piper.  Those groceries plus a 20kg bag of rice cost me about 120 bucks…

The part I like best about Korean grocery shopping is the free delivery right to your doorstep!

And now you too have experienced grocery shopping in Korea…
