Korean groceries

My family likes to go to a restaurant near Frankfurt called Junghwaru (중화루). They serve Chinese-Korean food like jjajangmyeon (짜장면) and shrimp fried rice.

On its ground floor is a small grocery store and boba shop. It's a nice place to keep current with what kinds of snacks are popular in Korea these days.

Apparently, the famous boy band BTS now has a brand of coffee. Did not expect that.

And then there's these Garlic Baguette (길릭바게트) snacks . They're your standard empty calories, but i thought the name was interested. Korean has a word for garlic (만을), but they decided to go with a transliteration of the English. And then there the transliteration of the French word baguette (바게트).

I just like those sorts of things.
