H-Mart is the bestest most wonderful place to find weird things to do on taste adventures!
My local store has amazing, dirt cheap produce and fancy ramen - so I'm there regularly. It's become a game to find at least one weird thing I've never eaten before every trip. Some of them are a smashing success, others last about one bite (I'm talking to you, Seaweed Crispi Rolls... and you, jajangmyeon) and get trashed.
Let's swap our best and worst H-Mart finds! Because any excuse to go back and pick up more deliciousness.
This was all inspired by the romanesco broccoli I found yesterday.
See, not only is romanesco broccoli a mildly delious halfway point between broccoli and cauliflower...
it's also a natural approximation of a fractal, made of [concentric, I guess?] logarithmic spirals.
PLUS the number of buds on a head is a Fibonacci number.
Find me a mathier veg, I dare you.
Probably my Best find so far:
These are "Banana Kick" - they're basically Cheetos with powdered banana runt instead of cheese flavoring.
These are also a Best:
I'll stop at two for now, with the most diabolical of intents: intermittent additional posts of nifty nibbles like ramen noodles you're supposed to eat raw covered with the flavor packet, and Choco Home Run Balls.

Breakfast this morning was Wei Chuan red bean pies.
They're a flaky pastry that slightly puffs, with a bean paste filling.
They're sweet and kinda nutty, and much healthier than, say, a Danish:
And - anybody with nausea problems?
(I have TERRIBLE allergies, and an invisible physical deformity that results in a lot of PND and nausea)
So far I've tried peppermint [excellent for breath and nausea], mango, orange, original/ginger... and peanut butter!
It's smooth and creamy and coats the stomach, and the first one is a little weird but they work SO well.
