Korean Grocery in Abu Dhabi

It's sour and spicy, made with ginger, garlic, red pepper powder, cabbage or radish or spring onion. Considered as one of the healthiest food in the world and is Korea's national dish. Can you guess it yet?

Yup, it's kimchi. Can be eaten with fish, meat, or veggies. As a side-dish or even as a snack, for some, eating kimchi is a hard habit to break.

Luckily, I live next to someone who regularly makes superb kimchi so we have a constant supply of this awesome dish.

Here are the two kinds of kimchi my neighbor makes:

Radish kimchi

cabbage kimchi

Aside from kimchi, my neighbor also makes this:

kimbap

and toppoke, bulgogi, bon chon, chapchae and some more dishes with names I keep forgetting.

For those who aren't fortunate enough to be living next to someone who makes delicious kimchi, here's something for you: did you know that there's a Korean grocery in Abu dhabi? Yes, there is. It's in the Musaffah area, near Safeer Mall. It's Hanarum Supermarket but the sign outside the store says Karat. They sell kimchi by the kilo and the last time we went there they had radish and cabbage variety.

Here are some of the products that are available (what we usually buy anyway) in the supermarket:

frozen beef mandu

frozen sweet red bean bun

smoked ham

fish cake

citron tea, 1kg

There are lots of other items available like noodles, snacks, condiments, chili paste, even canned food.
