WRITING AND ART by GLyDELLE ESPANO

H Mart opened its first location in West San Jose in 2017. Now, it has become a staple in the Bay Area, where many go to find imported goods from Asian countries.

Cantabile Peach Tea

This peach tea tastes like the feeling of summertime as its refreshing flavor hits your mouth. It’s sweet but not overwhelming to the tongue. Cantabile Peach Tea comes in small, portioned pouches so that they’re ready to grab for a quick drink. I like to have it with ice, paired with somekonjac jelly to replicate ordering fruit tea boba.

Body Loves Konjac Lime Jelly

Body Loves Konjac Jelly provides a healthy option for dessert, remaining delicious while containing no calories. This konjac jelly comes in small squeeze pouches for convenient consumption. The lime flavor enhances the eating experience and pairs perfectly with the Cantabile Peach Tea.

Daifuku Korean Taro Pancakes

Daifuku Korean Taro Pancakes are an absolute must-have. If you had to pick anything on this page, it should be these pancakes. These taro pancakes somehow end up in my cart after every H Mart trip because of how delicious they taste. A quick fry on the stove will get you a crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside tarofilled package of delight.

Samyang Fire Hot Carbo Chicken Ramen Noodles Samyang Fire Hot Carbo Chicken Ramen Noodles provide a heavy punch of spice that’ll have your mouth burning yet craving for more. I highly recommend this for spice lovers, as I had to sip mango juice after every bite. I recommend the carbonara flavor over the other varieties because it adds a cheesy kick to the noodles.

Haitai Honey Butter Chips

Honey Butter chips are always a great pick, with a savory and slightly sweet flavor that floods your mouth with each chip. It has a solid buttery taste, but it isn’t super salty like other chips.

Binggrae Samanco Chocolate Ice Cream Samanco Chocolate Ice Cream are yummy fish-shaped ice cream sandwiches. One layer of chocolate and one layer of ice cream, what more could you ask for? The fish shell replicates sugar cones and envelops the filling. However, I do wish it had a crunchier texture. This ice cream sandwich is easy to transport, perfect for an on-the-go snack.

Lotte Cheese Mozzarella and Potato Corndog It’s like a corndog, but better! Cheese fills the top half of the stick, followed by half of a fish cake. The fishcake tastes delicious, wrapped in the crispy potato layer. It’s perfect with honey mustard sauce or ketchup. I like to air-fry it for convenience because it gives you a satisfactory cheese pull.

Indomie Mi Goreng Fried Instant Noodles

These Mi Goreng noodles are another staple. These noodles are perfect for when you’re too lazy to cook anything grand. They have a salty, slightly spicy flavor, topped with fried onion. Once completed with egg, it reaches the highest peak of deliciousness that instant noodles can get. If you don’t want to add the seasoning, I suggest adding a little “Everything but the Bagel Seasoning” from Trader Joe’s to it, as this gives it a garlicky taste.
