Decided to stop by H Mart in Burlington to look for some things. I haven’t been to the Burlington location in years because it’s so crowded (pre-pandemic). Didn’t find what I was looking for but got steamed Korean corn (forgot to take a pic) & some Lotte citrus gum.

I’d never had Korean corn 🌽 before finding it at H Mart in Cambridge a few years ago. I love corn so I got it expecting it to taste like most corn in America. It’s a difference variety called waxy or glutinous corn.

Resisted the Hello Kitty toilet paper. 😹

There’s a gift shop called Magic Castle inside H Mart that sells #kawaii & K-pop goods. 😮

I’ve been hoping to find a shitajiki 下敷き (literally “under sheet”) for a while because I thought it might be helpful when crafting. Finally found one!

Also found Korean #origami for the first time in years. They don’t have a large selection but I got some mini paper since they’re good for modulars.

Resisted cute office supplies and bags. 😆

They cram a lot into a very small space. Glad I stopped by!

Glutinous corn from H Mart. Thumb is so you can see how large the kernels are.
