There is a WHOLE list of korean snacks that you can pick up from your nearest GS25 outlet or a supermarket when in Korea! Forget about the usual boring Lotte Chocopie, Market O chocolate brownies, honey chips and packets of seaweed as souvenirs..you know you can easily find them in Singapore right?
To me.. I see no reason to buy the same snack overseas (maybe at slightly cheaper prices) when you can take the chance to try out other unique flavors or snacks you CAN’T find in Singapore instead?
If you are interested to know more.. read on further!
Note: The following snacks were picked up at the local GS25 nearby my accommodation and from E-Mart during my April 2017 trip to Seoul.
