From Kimchi to Hello Kitty ... H-Mart has it all!

H-Mart in Burlington opened it's doors on September 25th 2009, and has been a hive of activity ever since - even requiring police detail to assist traffic on some weekends!  

The Asian-style supermarket's shelves are piled high with the freshest produce and products fit for any Korean, Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese recipe ... and also carries western foods ... making it a one-stop-shop for many of its customers.

Several on-site restaurants serve a variety of Asian foods throughout the day and evening, including sushi.  The dining choices will soon include a Vietnamese restaurant, opening in March.

I was shown around the supermarket by Jin, who patiently answered my questions about traditional foods, ingredients, and popular items.  Jin explained that the majority of the prepared foods are made in H-Mart's own kitchens every day.

Aside from an incredible array of fruits, vegetables and other ingredients, H-Mart is also home to a huge Hello Kitty store, which stocks popular Japanese erasers, soft toys, pens and pencils ... and even Silly Bands!
