H-mart opened this past weekend in Burlington and like a good consumer, I was there opening weekend. H-mart is a Korean specialized supermarket but also stocks most of the other Asian groceries. They’ve also got a small food court and a small set of other stores (for one stop shopping I guess!)
Spent about 2 hours there, wading through the ridiculous crowd and trying just about every sample they had (Even the preserved delicacies of indeterminate origin). The prices are pretty darn reasonable and I ended up with a few pounds of marinated meat, some of which I cooked up in the picture below. They’ve also got a huge selection of frozen goods, stocking more fish cakes than you can shake a fist at! The seafood and meat sections are also impressive, stocking just about anything you’d want for hot pot or BBQ.
Below I cooked up things I mostly got at H-mart: Pork Belly, kimchi, and a crab stick salad among the notables.
If only H-mart weren’t 30 minutes away!
Lovin’ the H-mart, it’s half an hour for us too, but so worth it. BIG produce selection and good quality and prices on everything. My BF loves trying all the samples. We can’t seem to get the price of visiting under $100 though, there’s just so much to try. Have you been to the Kam Man marketplace in Quincy?
We have now tried every food court place at least once as well. and, as I predicted, the Indian place is gone.
I found you when I was looking for a hotate hokkaiyaki recipe, you have come up with almost exactly the same solution as I have – I do the enoki mushrooms too though! YUM!
That $100 price tag seems to hit me too. I just can’t seem to leave the store without $100+ in groceries…ever.
I’ve never been to Kam Man in Quincy (I’m closer to Chinatown) but I’ve heard so many good things.
Thanks for the kind words on the hotate recipe, it “mostly” works
Good enough for a quick fix anyway!
