My girl loves them both, not me – kim chi and tofu so that was why when I spotted this…
…at that supermarket in town, the one that brings in all the imported stuff from countries all over the world, I wasted no time at all in grabbing two packs to take home for her to enjoy. She and her mum love anything Korean…
…and this was made there. Anything and everything Korean is very expensive but much to my surprise, this was only RM1.75 a pack. She did finish one and after some time, I saw the 2nd one sitting there, opened but not finished so I took it and tried. I am not into such tidbits aka junk food but I actually thought it was very nice.
So, what is it actually?…
I could not taste the tofu in it though – maybe it was mixed with the wheat flour and whatever else to get the batter and fried. Thankfully, the seasoning – the salt and the msg – was not as strong as in the other junk food available…like for instance, I’ve tried some potato chips from Australia or wherever and they were extremely salty!!! Definitely not for human consumption, if you asked me! This one was all right but if there was any taste of kim chi in it, it was so light that I could hardly detect it (and perhaps that was why I liked it – I am no fan of kim chi!).
Well, it so happened that one of her outings to stock up on food and stuff in the house, my missus brought home another pack. Obviously my girl was not going to eat that especially when the mum bought her a whole lot of other options so no prize for guessing who opened it…
…and finished it all by himself. LOL!!!
