I love H-Mart. It rules. It rules.
The Korean supermarket (800 N Rolling Rd, Catonsville, MD) is a busy, busy place to buy your groceries. But for the production and the experience, it’s worth every set of ten minutes you’ll have to wait in line to buy them. The prices are low, the produce is fresh and vibrant, the entire place is put together so well that everywhere you turn it’s a symphony of colors. If for no other reason than to stare at gigantic root vegetables and admire the colorful array of odd canned foods (like baby silk worm, for instance) you should go to H-Mart. If for no other reason than to admire the pristine, insanely fresh seafood section, you should go to H-Mart.
And most definitely, without question, check out the food court next door. For $10.95, they offer all you can eat sushi and a Korean buffet from 12-3pm on weekdays. It’s awesome. AWESOME.
Sorry to blow your spot, Ev, but I’m pretty sure I read an expose about a ton of serious health code violations at H-Mart. Personally, I subscribe to very loose standards of refridgeration, so I’m not too worried about it, but you may need a disclaimer on your description of their seafood section. 🙂
yuh-oh. could you send me a link to that or something? indeed if that’s the case i’d like to make it part of the post and make sure people are aware.
Side effects from eating food purchased at H-Mart include heart failure, kidney failure, lung failure and soul coughing.
okay, lock me up for slander or libel. i forget which one this would qualify as… it was actually lotte plaza and also, apparently i’m rip van winkle because i could have sworn it was recently, but it was in 2007.
