Recently my closest and dearest food buddy and I took a trip to Koreatown in Los Angeles to vist the well known Koreatown Galleria. The Koreatown Galleria is a multi level shopping mall with all things Korean and an upscale Korean grocery store in the baesment. Los Angeles has the largest Korean born population outside of Seoul so there are lots of Korean food markets in this area of LA but this is probably the best known and probably the most expensve! Here are a few pictures from my recent trip. Lots of fun and interesting food finds........
Kim Chi, Kim Chi and more Kim Chi
One of my favorite areas in any market is the seafood counter and the counter at the Galleria did not dispaoint!!
The fish all looked fresh and tasty......but the squid were truly spectaclular the sashimi looked great as well.
Wow this Uni looked amazing and how many times do you get a chance to buy live abalone! The image below is a sea squirt (think sea sponge). Typically pickled or stewed but still researching their culinary uses.
Some Korean rice wine and Korean beer.......perfect pairings with spicy Korean foods. All in all a pretty interesting trip to the land of the morning calm.
