A Little Taste of Korea in L.A
I love visiting Chinatown, Koreatown and Little Tokyo whenever I go to Los Angeles. The reason? Aside from being Asian and experiencing the different cultures in one city, the prices are cheaper than the city I live in (Ventura).
My friend, Kaye (who else?), asked me to take pictures of Koreatown when I go there. Hmmm... I said to myself, I should probably just write a blog about it, so she can read it. So here's my latest adventure:
Introduced by Mrs. Koh, I usually go to the grocery store above because of the variety of Korean grocery items that they have, aside from their low prices compared to other Korean stores I've been to. They also have a little bit of Japanese items in this place which I like. Guess what's my latest find? A small kitchen cleaner from the Philippines! Did I buy it? Of course, I did. Not just because I am being nationalistic, but because I needed it to clean the deep areas (like the innermost part of the vase) that I can't reach.
You can find foods, canned goods, kitchen items and beauty products imported from Korea in this grocery.
I have included the prices for your information. Is it cheaper or pricier than your place?
I wanted to try their products above as they have been recommended. However, I thought a hundred times about it. Since I still have a facial cleaner, I do not think I need to buy one. Two, I look at the ingredients. Being a more organic and natural ingredient user, their ingredients are not what I want. Next please...
Next to the grocery is a beauty supply store with lots of imported products from Korea and Japan to local items like CSI and other perfumes made in the USA. What's more? There is a salon inside.
And two hair stylists (only one showed here) who did a wonderful transformation with my hair. One made the highlights and the other person cut it. Superb job at a good dollar price.
