Costco kimchi (Jongga) is probably the best kimchi you can buy that isn't hand made by an old Korean lady (either in small asian store or your mother-in-law :)). It's the same brand that is the #1 selling kimchi brand in South Korea.
Uses:
On brats - seriously, if you haven't tried this, you are missing out. Beer brat, kimchi, stone ground mustard, toasted bun = perfection!
hashbrowns/breakfast potatoes
any soup
over rice, kimchi fried rice is great
straight out the jar!
Saw Bachan's BBQ sauce at Costco and didnt want to buy that much at once.
Grabbed a smaller bottle and thinking its a pretty solid marinade so may be buying more going forward.

LOTS of ramen shops on the west coast use sun noodles in their ramen.Quote:

That looks interesting. I never was a fan of the instant ramen in cups that I grew up with, but this looks like it might be a little more edible with hopefully less of a salt overload.Quote:

There are some good deals to be had through Costco Travel, for sure. We used them for a Jamaica trip about 10 years ago...Quote:

I went to Costco yesterday specifically looking for Kimchi. No dice.
I did find some delicious fresh sauerkraut (and $450 of other food), though.
I have some of the Costco kimchi in the fridge with a 03 May date. Think it's still good or nah?
Would you eat a pickle with that date on it?Quote:

Umm, I'm just buying 8-12 months of food, I'm good thanks, see you next year!Quote:

Yes, but pickles don't usually contain shrimp and anchovy so I need the assurance of strangers on the internet.Quote:

I assume people have mentioned the chickens, holy shit I buy a rotisserie chicken every time I go. Incredible value.
Got any advice for the raw (salted? fermented?) squid, crabs, and fish at hmart? The people who work there haven't been that helpful and I find that display section of deli containers intimidating. Not sure if it's supposed to be eaten raw or cooked.Quote:

i can only imagine the sheer number of people rushing to return their mozzarella from a few months ago because it's revealed to contain milk.
Wife and daughter are currently in Paris so I’m splurging and this is what I’m eating for the next two days :)Quote:
