Who has time for cooking these days? I actually do but I'm too lazy to cook all the time. You know what I mean. 😁. I was browsing through H Mart and they had some tasty samples.
They were sampling a bunch of Pulmone products that actually motivated me to purchase. I was even more motivated since they were simple to make. The Pork and Glass Noodles Potstickers were super tasty and reminded me of the Chinese chive pockets. Although the skin used is different, the filling tastes very similar. It's flavorful enough not to need any dipping sauce. I personally like it more crispy so you can keep them on the grill longer until golden brown.

The Ddukbokki Kit was soft and flavorful. I have yet to make it but I like that the kit includes seaweeds rolls that you grill on the side to add in. It provides a mix of soft with a hint of crispy texture. For those of you who like sweet with a hint of spicy, this would be perfect.

Ever since my first trip to Paris eons ago, I've been going to Cafe Angelina for their famous African hot chocolate served with Chantilly cream. They offer a wide variety of French pastries and typical cafe items. On my first trip I bought their famous African chocolate shavings to bring back and make my own hot chocolate. Sadly it wasn't nearly as good because I'm sure they slow churn the chocolate at the cafe to give that velvety thick texture. When you make it at home it is so watery. Now they actually sell the chocolate drink in a bottle. I've bought some but haven't had a chance to drink them yet. The consistency looks more like what's served at the cafe.
The African hot chocolate is delicious but it can be a lot of sweetness in one sitting. Now I tend to just share it with someone so that I don't get sweeted out. I've been a few times in summer and I now get the iced African chocolate that's not as overwhelming. It is still sweet but very refreshing in the heat. I feel the hot chocolate is more filling than the iced chocolate but when it is hot outside, I'd definitely recommend the iced to cool down and relax. Personally I love their decor that gives me this majestic and nostalgic feeling. My favorite location is the one near the Louvre where you can also peruse around for some great scenery and photo ops. ^_~

If you love cheese, you'll love Whisps Parmesan Crisps! Ever since I first found them in Costco, they have become one of my favorite items there! You could eat them as a snack or add them to any dish. They would go great in salads to add texture or a hamburger and more. Personally, I just eat them like you would with potato chips! They are made from real cheese so I'm going to 'consider' this one of the 'healthier' snacks lol. I know I may be lying to myself a little, but I can't help but munch on these! Lol
They offer a wide variety of flavors. I only know of the original because that all Costco sells but at the Fancy Food Show they finally had a booth and sampled their new flavors. Now they have asiago and cheddar cheese crisps. If only Costco sold them! I'd buy them all because I need it in bulk! Lol Recently Costco even had them on sale and I picked up a few bags. It was hard not buying a whole case!
