Chongga Kimchi

The other week, I had to wait two hours at Costco to get my tire fixed so I had a lot of time to browse.  I happened upon their cold cases and saw a bottle of kimchee I wanted!  No, not Halm’s kimchee.  But you know what?  I haven’t had Halm’s in the longest time!  The kimchee I saw was Chongga Kimchi and it was imported from Korea!  I just HAD to try it.

Apparently it’s the #1 kimchi brand in the world.  I don’t know how they got a title like that but I’ll go with it.  So how is it?  The first few bites, I thought it was just all right.  Tasted a bit sour and I didn’t think it was great.  Well as I started eating more…the flavor was definitely better.  I like it a lot.  It’s only about 7 dollars for this jar of kimchee so I think it’s a great deal.  I hope Costco continues to carry it but you know that they continually switch up their goods.  If you like kimchee, I highly suggest you give this a try!  It’s only been about a week and I’m almost done with it.  I’m a kimchee freak!
