New is better.

Isn't it fun to try new things? My mind explodes with curiosity when it comes to food I call it my food adventures. I'm open to new things and I like to keep my options open for food that is. This weekend is about asian foodies. Here is a secret I learn: my advice is to go an asian grocery store on a weekend because they feed you. Hey, free food don't be afraid to try it unless it looks scary then walk away! Some new stuff can look scary at first but you won't know until you try it. And I think this is a great way to try new things so, go check it out. It's fun and did I mention it was free? Go take advantage of free things thank me later. I only ask that you be open minded to their food and culture, likewise.

Here was my experience: Today, we went to a local Korean market and guess what? We went for white peaches but came home with a can of boba strawberry soy drink, some fruit that looked like sea urchin pretty scary! But it wasn't sea urchin its actually Rambutan, and we got some gochujang sauce. Let's start with gochujang sauce, why gochujang sauce you might ask me? FYI, If don't already know the sauce it is a red paste mixed in bibimbap. It's a combination of sweet and spicy, I like it mixed in with rice and an easy over egg, dip my veggies in it, and my meat. But you can eat it with anything. I like it like how my husband likes his sriricha. This particular item was not new not new to me, I've had it before just stalking up because its always good to have it handy.







Now to the fun stuff, the fruit that looks like a sea urchin. We originally was trying to pick up some lychee but a fellow shopper stop us and suggested that Rambutans tasted better, meaning maybe the two was comparable so I was sold. It did look intimidating at first and when we got home I even made my husband peel it (for me yes, I'm spolied lol). I was not disappointed very pleased, tasted just like a grape, it was good!







The last item was a can of strawberry soy milk with boba. While looking around for something "new" this can just stood out and I just had to try it. Now if you're looking for a great experience support your local asian markets, weekends are a great way to try out their samples =) (free food may vary FYI) Thanks enjoy!
Below are some items we didn't buy but it was fun to look at ;)






and my husband was a good sport he let me follow him around with his basket (that had wheels lol) super awesome.




Sunday Funday *wink wink!*
