🛒You know, life doesn’t always go as planned. We really try to stick to the list, but the temptation is real. 🙋♂️How much of the Korean items in our cart do you recognize? Do you shop at H Mart? What do you HAVE TO buy when you go to #hmart? H Mart ⁉️ Did you know that H Mart started as a small grocery store in Queens, New York, in 1982, aiming to serve the growing Korean American community with authentic Korean ingredients. The name “H Mart” stands for “Han Ah Reum,” meaning “one arm full” (of amazinglicious groceries!) in Korean. Over the years, it expanded across the U.S. and beyond, becoming a one-stop shop for Asian foods and fresh produce, with a focus on Korean cuisine. Now, H Mart is celebrated as a cultural hub, connecting diverse communities to Korean food and traditions.😭Is shopping at an Asian grocery store too overwhelming? Don’t know which products to get? Don’t cry in H Mart. Just DM us - your newest Korean friend - and ask for help! #WhoYouGonnaCall #Virginialicious (Btw, #CryingInHMart is a GREAT book!) #한아름 #AsianGroceryStore #KoreanSupermarket #DCEats #NOVAEats #DMVEats #KoreanFoodTour #DCFoodTour #NOVAFoodTour #DMVFoodTour #KoreanCuisine #Koreatown #DCFoodies #NOVAFoodies #DMVFoodies #FoodTour #AnnandaleVA #FairfaxCounty #KoreanFood #KFood #Hansik #ThingsToDoINNOVA #ExploreDMV #ThingsToDoAroundDC

🙋♀️Anyone? Super duper hot soup for these hot days? Have you had #samgyetang before?
🥵#Boknal refers to the hottest days of summer, occurring in July and August. These days, known as “chobok” (beginning), “jungbok” (middle), and “malbok” (end), are part of the lunar calendar and are believed to be the peak of summer heat. (Today is Chobok - no kidding!)
🐓During Boknal, it’s common to eat “samgyetang,” a nutritious chicken soup made with ginseng, jujubes, garlic, and rice stuffed inside a whole chicken. Eating this hot soup on hot days is thought to balance the body’s heat and enhance stamina. Sounds like a crazy idea, huh? But it works! #이열치열
🔥How are you fighting this heat, DMV?! Stay cool and hydrated!

🗣️The only #debate we will have this in this hot summer season is whether you are going for ‘mul-naengmyeon’ or ‘bibim-naengmyeon!’ 🟦Mulnaengmyeon is a Korean cold noodle dish consisting of long, thin, chewy noodles usually made from buckwheat. The noodles are served in a chilled broth, typically made from beef, chicken, or dongchimi (radish water kimchi), and garnished with slices of beef, a boiled egg, cucumber, and Korean pear. It’s a refreshing dish often enjoyed during the summer. 🟥Bibimnaengmyeon is a Korean cold noodle dish similar to mulnaengmyeon but served without broth. Instead, the noodles are mixed with a spicy, tangy sauce made from #gochujang (Korean red chili paste), vinegar, and sugar. The dish is also garnished with slices of beef, a boiled egg, cucumber, and sometimes Korean pear. It’s known for its bold, spicy flavors and is a popular choice in hot weather. 🗳️The internal dilemma is real. Are you Team MulNaeng or Team BiNaeng? #RealDebate #SummerFood #KoreanFoodCulture #KoreanCulture #Naengmyeon #DCEats #NOVAEats #DMVEats #KoreanFoodTour #DCFoodTour #NOVAFoodTour #DMVFoodTour #Koreatown #DCFoodies #NOVAFoodies #DMVFoodies #TasteofKorea #FoodTour #AnnandaleVA #FairfaxCounty #KoreanFood #KFood #Hansik #ThingsToDoINNOVA #ThingsToDoAroundDC #Virginialicious

🥰Happy Father’s Day! (Thinking of #appa who is in Korea - though a “Parents’ Day” is celebrated for both moms and dads on the same day in Korea😉)
📷While going through all the pictures, one thing I noticed is that I don’t have a lot of pictures with my dad. A lot of us don’t seem to talk to our dads as much as we talk to our friends, siblings or even moms. Yet, we know they are always there for us.
🌳언제나 큰 나무처럼 그 자리에서 격려를 보내주시고 사랑을 쏟아 주시는 아버지. 감사합니다.
🙏Sending gratitude to all the fathers this weekend. Not just the biological ones but our emotional, spiritual, professional, neighborly fathers out there. Thank you.

Fun weekend activities for birthdays and other special celebrations. The list goes on.
🌱The company was started with three agendas: Love for food, love for the local community, and love for giving back. To find out more, please visit the website or contact us anytime!

😋잘 먹겠습니다!
🙏This staple phrase in Korean culture (“I will eat well”) is a way of showing gratitude for the meal and appreciation to those who prepare the food.
A small but meaningful tradition that adds a touch of respect and warmth to every meal.
