Ssamjang and Kochujang in Chinatown?

[HungryArthur]

Any thoughts on where to find these Korean ingredients in Chinatown (or anywhere downtown)?

[Lau]

they have a korean and japanese section at hong kong supermarket, but its more weighted to japanese (its all korean and japanese brands)

however if u dont want to trek all the way to ktown, M2M on 3rd ave and 11th has everything

[Cheeryvisage]

I second the M2M suggestion. It's great and should have everything you need.

I was going to suggest the same thing Lau did - if you must find non chinese asian ingredients in ctown Hong Kong Super has the best selection (even though its not nearly my favorite of the big sueprmarkets in chinatown i shop here when im looking for non chinese things)

I know I've seen it around, but the selection in Chinatown is quite limited usually - if a store has it, you might find only one brand. And likely it'll be a lower-quality one, Chinese-made.

Considering even small containers of it last FOREVER, it's worth it to go to K-Town to pick it up a proper tub of it, made with sun-dried peppers and minimal other ingredients. Lots of the Chinese ones add corn syrup, aren't fermented, etc. Hahn Ah Reum has a great selection, though it can be confusing with so many brands.

agree with the suggestion. there are lots of brands to choose between. if it helps to filter, from the many i looked at only 1 or 2 did not have corn syrup or other additives in the ingredients.

Hae Chan deul brand is pretty good for both both.
