ATTENTION: I am trying to get in touch with a blog reader by the name of Darren (is that your name?) who collects Coke bottles & cans. I have a Korean coke bottle that I brought back from Seoul, as promised. I have lost your email address. Can you contact me soon before my 16-year old son starts drinking it? Thanks

Harin Mart 할인 마트

I went to this Warehouse yesterday with Ja. Armed with no expectations at all, I was pleasantly greeted with a curious smile by a Korean Lady staff who was busy packing goods for delivery. Another male staff courteously bowed to my "안녕하세요".

Harin

After explaining to her that Mr Young told me I could come to buy stuff, she politely told me that the place is haphazardly stacked to the brims, and that it would be easier if I told her what I wanted.

After going about the place for a few minutes, I told her that I needed sauce for making kimchi, some Korean melons (which I love so much) and onigiri seaweed. Even though the purchase was below $20, she gave me free Korean green pumpkin (애호박) and an extra melon.

Overall, it was not a supermarket lah. I actually felt bad intruding into their already cramped space, and when they were so busy packing their delivery orders.

Will I go there again? maybe.
Will I order from them online? Yes definitely - if I have lots of stuff to order. Their online site is comprehensive.
