If there's one thing I truly, madly, deeply, miss about Korea
(aside from my husband, the temperate climate, and the super fast internet speed), it's the food. I usually order Korean food stuff online, but today, in this hot and humid weather, I suddenly craved for Korean ice cream. Of course, I can't order that online. Good thing there's a newly-opened Korean grocery smack dab in the middle of the city, located five minutes away from where we live.

Sarang Mart Korean Grocery recently opened their second branch in
San Pablo City, right across the
Human Heart Nature Concept Store in
Barleta Street. Their first branch has been operational since 2016, but not many people know of this gem since it's located in the outskirts of San Pablo City.
This new branch is a lot more accessible, and if you'll be visiting for the first time, the location is very easy to find as it's near the San Pablo City Cathedral.
If you're a fan of Korean snacks, love stocking up on Korean condiments, or simply in the mood for some Korean ice cream,
Sarang Mart is the place to be. They pretty much have everything in stock - ramyeon of all brands and varieties, ice cream of all kinds, dipping sauces in different sizes, and
Pepero and
Binggrae Milk in different flavors.

| Jin Ramen on sale. |
 |
| Samyang and Chapaguri, as seen on the Oscar winning movie, Parasite. |
 |
| Yue's all-time favorite Nongshim ramyeon. |
 |
| Gochujang, Doenjang, Ssamjang. |
 |
| Cledor goodies. |
 |
| My all-time favorite Bungeoppang ice cream. |
 |
| Classic Melona. |
 |
| Pepero flavors (OMG the Nude Cream Cheese is the bomb)! |
They also have frozen food products like
eomuk (fish cake) and
mandu (dumplings), and fermented food products like
kimchi and
danmuji (pickled radish). They even have enoki mushrooms, which are quite difficult to come by in supermarkets here in San Pablo, as well as king oyster mushrooms.

| Eomuk - perfect for cold, blustery days. |

In the mood for samgyup?
Sarang Mart has authentic
Pork Samgyupsal and
Beef Bulgogi which you can grill in the comforts of your home. If you don't have your own grill pan yet, Sarang Mart has you covered as well! They have grill pans for sale, as well as the ramyeon cooking pots
(you know, the gold tin ones) that you see in Kdramas.

I hope they'll have
Oreo O's in stock next time I visit. Yue has been asking for his
favorite cereal for God knows how long, but I don't have the time to go all the way to S&R just for that. Also, this COVID-19 scare is deterring me from traveling outside the city and making me want to stay home most of the time.
On that note, I wish you're all safe and sickness-free wherever you are. Stay healthy, and always keep your hands clean! :)
