I think I've mentioned before that I haven't been able to find frozen vegetables in any Korean markets. I heard they sold frozen vegetables at Costco so we made the trek over. We took the subway and each brought a bag anticipating all the goodies we would buy. We planned to cab home.
By the time we got to Costco, it was dinnertime. Of course we headed to the food court to see what cool Korean style goodies they had. They had a lot of the same things as in the US (caesar salad, hot dog, pizza, chicken bake) but they also had a bulgogi bake and this potato wedge, bacon pizza. I knew that a meal at Costco would be impossible without eating meat, so I decided I would just eat a little and we ordered the bulgogi bake and the potato wedge bacon pizza.
While we were waiting for our food, we noticed all of the tables eating what looked like curry rice. When we looked closer, it wasn't rice. It was actually diced onions mixed with mustard and ketchup. EVERYONE was making a plate so we decided to make one too! I'm not usually a fan of raw onions, but this was really refreshing. The bulgogi bake was good except it had too much meat. And the pizza was weird. The potato wedges were huge and the pizza was soggy...fail.
By the way, Costco was crazy. This one was two floors and the food court was downstairs. It was quite an adventure getting down to the food court because it was so crowded. The rest of the warehouse wasn't any better. I already get so annoyed at Costco in the US because there are people walking every which way. This experience was even worse because the space was smaller.
We noticed that everything was ridiculously expensive. Because of the high prices, we didn't want to buy anything and reasoned that we actually didn't need it! The only thing we wanted to buy was a bag of frozen broccoli but didn't end up getting that either. That's because it was on the bottom floor and we wanted to check out the top floor first. By the time we wanted to go back to the bottom floor, the line for the escalator was 30 people deep. No thank you!
So...all in all...Costco was a fail and a huge disappointment. =(
