Haitai Bon Bon Orange Juice with sac

August 15, 2011 By Anna 2 Comments

Kyu invited some friends over for a Korean BBQ and Grace brought a case of this juice. This BonBon juice has been around for a long time since the 1980's I think. Commercial goes back to that year. Still Koreans love the juice with sac (pulp). And there's a competition brand Lotte SacSac. Both brands have Orange with pulp and Grape Juice with actual peeled grapes...yummm. I like the grape ones! Both brands have been around for a long time and I'm sure people have their preference.

I liked this Bon Bon Orange Juice better than Lotte Sac Sac. I haven't tried grape ones for a long time so I don't know which one I like. I think people over at the BBQ were saying Lotte Grape is better and Haitai BonBon Orange is better. I'll try both brands soon.

 

I found several old commercials...couldn't find any new ones...

I don't know if they make anymore commercials?
Anyhow it's still fun to watch the old commercials.

Scroll down & enjoy!

 

 

 

8First one was made in 1990. Kim Min Jung (actress) is in it. If you know her, you'll see that she looks the same. Ha ha.

This one was made in 1991 and animated. Ha Ha.

A peek into the Korean Culture-Pepero/Pocky Chocolate Snack Day

November 11, 2010 By Anna Leave a Comment

]Today, November 11th is Pepero Day. Pepero is Korean 'Pocky' chocolate covered stick biscuit. 11/11 is the shape of Pepero/Pocky...that's why. It seems like this day is also treated as a day for the couples like Valentine's Day as we know it.

This is the original Pepero. There are almond ones too and all different flavors of Pocky. Pocky is Japanese...just letting you know.

Picnic with Quick ‘n easy Rice ball/Joomukbob/Onigiri recipe

September 24, 2009 By Anna 4 Comments

Weather in MD has been wonderful these days...perfect for spontaneous picnic. One day, the day was perfect for a quick picnic so my friend and I just gathered whatever we could find and started to make rice balls or Joomukbob (in Korean) or Onigiri (if you are more familiar with Japanese). 'Joomuk' means fist or hand probably means handmade or rice formed into a size of about your fist and 'bob' means rice. Not only is this quick and easy, making them together with friends is also fun time itself! Joomukbobs are good for picnic, snacks, and lunch. Easy to carry and easy to eat!

Korean Binggrae’s Banana Flavored Milk

April 26, 2009 By Anna 19 Comments

Korean Banana Flavored Milk
This is Binggrae's the Banana Flavored Milk! This is Korean version packaging of the milk. I'm not sure how many non-Korean would have tried this, but this is one of the 'traditional' Korean drink and its popularity has been going strong even after 35 years. A lot of Koreans have nostalgic childhood memory of this milk since most Koreans went to public bathhouse/sauna regularly and right after the nice hot bath I'm sure many people made it a ritual to drink this Banana Milk.
As you can see the packaging is itself is very interesting and easy to remember.

I visited Binggrae's site and they say that the original bottle design was inspired by Korean traditional jar called Hanggari like below.

Korean Seafood Pancake-Haemul Pajeon Recipe

April 17, 2009 By Anna 6 Comments

Whew...these days Maryland has been soaked with rain...rain...and more rain...and has been little depressing. Although we had short 'vacation' from rain for couple of days with beautiful days, it seems like we will be getting lots more later on. On these days many Koreans look for nice and hot soup or something fried, like Haemul Pajeon , Seafood Korean style Pancake.

Haemul Pajeon or Seafood Korean pancake
Korean Pancake is not usually made for Breakfast like Pancake you may know. It's usually an appetizer, sidedish, or snack. But you decide what it could be. And you decide what size you want it to be. If you order this in the restaurant, it's usually the size of a whole pizza. I guess you could also say this is Korean pizza. This time we made it smaller just because.

So shall we start?

Ingredients: Makes about 15 palm(your hand) sized pancakes

15 Shrimp
1 Squid
150g crab meat
10 scallions/green onion
1 cup Korean pancake mix
3 cups Korean frying mix
4 cups water

One day I found this baby formula can on my desk and I wondered why it was there...Hmmm...I know I used to love to 'snack' on baby formula...back in Korea... (yes, I did!)
