Allgreen Market-Poongnyun Foodcourt in Glen Burnie, MD

September 16, 2009 By Anna 11 Comments

Remember the Fresh World International Market in Glen Burnie, MD?
Allgreen International Market
It is now under new management called Allgreen. Fresh World seemed to focus more on Latin groceries and etc. I couldn't really find good amount of Korean stuff. But Allgreen seem to organize aisles nicer with clearly labeled aisle signs. I'm not sure how much more Korean stuff they got though...if you know, please let us know if the change is better.

Well for my quick glance, other than the sign and some aisle changes (seemed like they are still figuring out where to place what...very far right wasn't used at all...) nothing much changed. Next time I get to go there, I'll look more into their inventory. Oh, they actually blocked the way to the cashier from the entrance side. I think they did it so that the traffic could flow through all the other side.

Anyhow...Poongnyun Restaurant or the food court remains the same along with the sushi bar. This time we tried Bibimbap (Many Namool/Cooked vegetables served over rice) and Jjamppong (spicy Korean Chinese noodle soup) this time. [Read more...]

Hayloft Candles Ice Cream & Petting Zoo in Lancaster, PA

June 24, 2009 By Anna 5 Comments

Weeks ago, my family visited Lancaster area in Pennsylvania. Well, to be specific we looked around Amish businesses and markets. Thanks to a pastor who lived in the area, our family was able to look around the local Amish markets. If you are from Lancaster, PA area I guess you know better than I do, but it was a very interesting and tasty weekend for me.

Hayloft Candles
The first Amish store I would like to share is Hayloft Candles.
The place sold homemade ice cream and candles. I didn't pay too much attention to all the stuff till I bought some ice cream, but they had pretty interesting candles. Maybe I should look through more carefully next time.

Fresh World International Market-Poongnyun Foodcourt in Glen Burnie, MD

November 14, 2008 By Anna Leave a Comment

(Sept. 2009) Former Fresh World is now Allgreen market under new management. However, the foodcourt in the market is still the same.

Fresh World International Market-El Grande Supermercado recently opened in Glen Burnie, MD on the Ritchie Highway.
freshworld international supermarket
It's a huge market with lots of real international stuff and regular necessities. Unlike Lotte or Hmart in Ellicott City, MD, Fresh World has more Latin products. But since it's a huge market they have a variety of products including Korean (of course).

They just opened (November 7th, 2008) a Korean and Japanese foodcourt/restaurant beside the seafood department.

I, of course, had to try it out!

Jong Kak Restaurant Korean Cuisine in Baltimore, MD

November 7, 2008 By Anna Leave a Comment

I went to Jong Kak restaurant in Baltimore city, MD.
It probably is one of the oldest Korean restaurant in Baltimore area. The interior decoration or the restrooms are not as attractive as their food. This restaurant is known for indoor charcoal BBQ of Galbi (Korean style ribs). If you would like to eat Samgyeopsal (or Samgyupsal), pork belly meat, you don't use charcoal BBQ. Instead, they brought out the portable gas range with a grill pan the last time I went there.

Oh! And be aware that there is another restaurant right next to JongKak. I've never been to the other one, but Jongkak is the left one.

Jong Kak servers were very nice and they actually smiled at us! They constantly changed our grill whenever it got too burnt, kept on refilling our veggies and sidedishes. The food was great too. Galbi marinade wasn't too salty and just right for me. I think we ate three bowls of scallion salad, couple refills of banchan, and couple refills of pickled radish. And at the end the servers STILL smiled at us.
So overall, I recommend this place for a BBQ night. I wanna go back for more! Mmmmmmmmm...!

This time we wanted to do some Galbi BBQ. We ordered 2 servings of marinaded Galbi. The price was around $20s per serving. It may be little expensive, but you'll know that it is worth eating when you see that you get the following:
Galbi BBQ
Yum, Yum, Yum! [Read more...]
