KOREAN POMEGRANATE RED VINEGAR HEALTH DRINK – TASTY TANGY GOODNESS IN A BOTTLE

Hi there

I like vinegar a lot, not just like taking it with xiao long bao or dumplings, but literally drink it. 🙂

Korean Daesang Red Vinegar Drink

You know how a few years back, there were some vinegar craze where people or rather advocate pointed out how good vinegar is, I am one of them, not because of what other people say, but it was purely base on how the effects was after drinking it.

Korean Daesang Red Vinegar Drink

Before I have my son, I used to drink a lot of this seaweed vinegar from Okinawa where I can buy from Meidiya or Isetan Scotts, one big bottle cost $30 over bucks but can last you for quite sometime, as you will need to dilute it with water before drinking. I usually drink it before I sleep rather than when I wakes up in the morning to promote good digestive system.

JAPANESE SHISO LEAVES – VERSATILITY OF THIS SIMPLE JAPANESE LEAF

Hi there

There are many times you might probably see these Shiso leaves on your sashimi plate or takeaway carton. These leaves are usually shiso leaves, which is very versatile and is eaten raw in Japan. Korean also has their own shiso leaves but is called Hangul.

The Korean ones come in large sizes and also the taste are a little stronger than japanese ones. They are used to wrap up grilled meats, and goes very well with it because of it minty taste. I tried both (Shine Korean Supermarket do sell it), and I still love the Japanese version more. 🙂

Shiso Leaves

You can buy these leaves from Japanese supermarkets or Fairprice Finest too. I got mine this time from Finest and it cost $1.95 for 10 pcs. Looks little but it actually can cook many dishes with just one pack. 🙂

INSTANT KOREAN PANCAKES FROM SHINE KOREAN SUPERMARKET – FLAVOURFUL YET INCREDIBLY AFFORDABLE

Hi there

Occasionally I do indulge in instant food, which can be rather comforting per se, food like luncheon meat, instant noodles, frozen pizza or pie, etc. Of course too much of it is probably not that good, but I guess all these can be just life little simple indulgence – occasionally and this time is no different. My little indulgence brought me to instant Korean Seafood & Kim Chi Pancake 🙂

Frozen Korean Pancakes from Shine Korean Supermarket Reviews

When I was shopping at Shine Korean Supermarket to stock up some Korean rice cake which I tried last time, I saw the interesting array of frozen food they have and one is the frozen Korean pancakes.

Frozen Korean Pancakes from Shine Korean Supermarket Reviews

It comes in 2 flavors, Kim Chi seafood or just Seafood pancakes. Both will require you to heat up in a pan. I don’t think it is good to heat up on microwave as one of the most important aspect of if is to have it piping hot and very crispy with just the right amount of chewiness to it, and it can be hard to do it with microwave.
