What do you buy at HMart or other Asian groceries?

[Anonymous]

I'm only near H Mart a couple times a year. My trip is coming up. What do you recommend? Will stock up mostly non perishables but can get a large cooler worth of fridge/freezer items.

I love noodles and dim sum and dumplings but never know which ones to get. Thanks for any advice!

Bulgogi. OMG so good.

They prices have gone up significantly. Keep that in mind. We don't go as often as before now.

Vegetables are so much cheaper: Jicama, Daikon, Cilantro, ginger, garllic, spring onions, thai basil, cabbage.

I also buys sesame paste, sesame oil, tamari, dried spices, peanut oil, pork belly, ground pork, and fresh seafood there.

Exotic fruit that DH loves.
Japanese staples: curry, furikake, noodles, etc.
Lobster for the holidays, but only if it looks good.

If you're avoiding made in China, what countries do you think are okay?
