      Please Help I am a secret Santa to a Korean young lady and she says she loves Korean food and snacks. I am Hispanic and I know NOTHING on Korean culture or cooking or products except for what Im am amusing might be stereotyping. Like because I am Hispanic people think my family eat tocos but we dont kind of thing and I dont want to do that but I cant ask her because that will give me away. Its an online secret santa so I dont even know this person at all. On amazon I saw this https://goo.gl/XtjnUK and this https://goo.gl/knvWSs I found stores in my local area thanks to this website but I dont know what products to look for I was hoping maybe if you could show my pictures of snacks that I can buy and ship to my Secret receiver
      Thank you

      Don’t take the first one – it’s full of chemicals.
      The second one looks nice; if she doesn’t like it (which I doubt ;-)), she may give the sweets to someone else.

      Bye, Sanne.

      Samyang is the oldest ramyun maker in Korea but im not a fan of them. Ive eaten their spicy chicken flavor and it is SUPER spicy for ramyun.

      Paldo and Nongshim brands are better ramyun imo. Shin Ramyun Black by Nongshim is one of the better quality instants from Korea.

      The Nongshim kimchi flavor is fairly good too.

      Pretty much all ramyun though is loaded with chemicals. Prima Taste brand from Singapore is the best. If she likes curry she might really like the Singapore Curry noodles from Prima Taste. They are a little spicy though and expensive.

      Thank you do you think I can find these in local store instead of online? to cut the price down?

      Nongshim and Paldo are very common brands at Asian/Korean markets in the USA. Prima Taste brand is hard to find. Only 1 store carries it near me but they are still about $11 for 4 packages.

      Some of these brands you can buy at the Walmart online website and have them shipped to the nearest Walmart for free.

      Example: A Nongshim 10pack for around $16 but the Prima Taste are over $5 each.
