Had to make a quick trip to Los Angeles today. I was able to make it there in almost record time, and picked-up what I needed. Since it was still early, and I had already had a quick lunch, I decided to drive around the "old neighborhood" to see what changes have been taking place. Driving up Colima Road, to the point where it turns to Golden Springs, I noticed Market World:
I entered this huge, and packed Super Market. I immediately zeroed in on the produce department and noticed the Jujube’s:
Though not of the best quality, the price was right so I quickly "bagged" a pound.
Next up the "noodle" section, and I grabbed a package of the "instant" Naengmyun, at least that’s what I think it is:
I just went on the pictures, there were no English labeling, so we’ll see what happens. I immediately picked up a scent (Whooo-ah! ), of something being fried. Following my nose I came up to a "deli" section, and noticed a new batch of fried crab being wrapped:
This being a "solo" trip, I knew I needed 
"offerings" for the omnipotent deity, that is the Missus. I knew this would fill the bill.
The selection of items is staggering, you find yourself walking in circles in a complete daze forgetting what it is that you’d been thinking of getting just the minute before. Then turning the corner you come upon the shelf of Korean "pancake" mix (Pa jun).
Ohh-Kay….There were at least 9 different brands/varieties. I ended up getting the one with English instructions. This may be a mistake, but I don’t have the slightest idea how to make this, so I’ll need to start somewhere.
Of course no Market could survive without the isle of snacks:
Floor to ceiling, brand after brand. No one could possibly survive without those twenty brands of Corn Puffs
, right?
And of course the Panchan "bar". The selections looked good and fresh, though I did not partake.
There are also two "restaurants" within Market World. The one at the East end, was positively "rocking". Too bad I’d already had lunch. I’ll give this place a try next time, every dish I saw people eating looked good (except the sushi…)
There was a Woman rolling out dough and making Mandoo by hand. I’m definitely trying this next time!
This was an interesting and fun time, though I shudder at thought of the "damage" that Jo and Mills could do here! The crabs were a success, all gone in a few minutes, I also purchased some "Flaming File Tiles", and other items. Market World is definitely worth a visit!
