Tortillas

Posted by in Finds & Tips | 4 comments

TortillasGdog at The Daily Kimchi brought up something that I had been meaning to do for a while.

Where can you find certain items?

Eventually, I’d like to make a rolling database to help people find products in Korea. In the meantime, let’s do this.

I’ll start a thread on a certain item, and if you know where to find it, tell how in the Comments section. This way, if someone needs to find something, she could just look in the (very well programmed and organized) Archives section to find information.

Please use the following format, filling in as much information as you know:
City>>Subway Line>>Subway Station>>Place

For example, here are some places I know where to find tortillas, other than making your own:

Seoul>>Line 3>>Yangjae>>Costco

Seoul>>Line 6>>Itaewon>>International Grocery Store (Near the mosque, next to What The Book)

Seoul>>Line 6>>Hangangjin>>Hannam Market (Exit 2, over the pedestrian walkway, right at the end of the walkway and down the mountain, on the left down a flight of stairs)

    Ah, witness the power of the Internet!

    When I lived in Korea, I developed a cookbook that used only items one could buy (even with difficulty) in Korea (and there was far less available back then). I also had a section on where to buy some of the more difficult items.

    Sadly, that cookbook is locked away in an old version of PageMaker. I do miss that recipe for rice pudding.

    This is an excellent idea. I wish you success (and good eating). Especially good eating.

    This is an awesome idea! Way to get it started dude.

    I’ve been to the International Food Store in Itaewon, it’s not too bad.

    Now I gotta go get me some tortillas! :)

    Any idea where to find corn kernels dry? I’ve had a hard time even online, hard to believe Korea, who has corn in everything, doesnt have dry corn kernels.

      Maybe Chinese markets. They have ground corn.
