To inform your next grocery list at the beloved Korean supermarket chain — whether it’s your first time there or you’re a seasoned shopper — we spoke with Lim to learn about his top eight snacks to get from H Mart.
Ppushu Ppushu (Bulgogi Flavor)
Lim explains that this crunchy noodle snack is reminiscent of uncooked instant ramen, saying, “You crush the dried noodles with the seasoning and eat them as a snack.” His favorite version is the savory, subtly sweet Ppushu Ppushu Bulgogi Flavorfeaturing dried noodles seasoned with soy sauce, beef extract, garlic, onion, and black pepper. “If you enjoy instant ramen, this is a must-try. The chicken flavor is great, too,” he adds.
Honey Butter Chips
Made with French butter and real honey, these Honey Butter Chips are very popular in South Korea. Lim describes the snack as “sweet, light, and buttery with a melt-in-your-mouth texture,” which sounds irresistible to us.
While the plain Honey Butter flavor is Lim’s favorite, he also recommends the Quattro Cheese variation, which blends mascarpone, Parmesan, Camembert, and fromage blanc cheese powders to deliver those signature sweet and buttery notes.
Oh Yes! Chocolate Coated Cake
Snackers with a sweet tooth should snag the Oh Yes! Chocolate Coated Cakewhich stars a miniature sponge cake with a chocolate cream filling and a smooth chocolate glaze on the exterior. “It’s rich without being overwhelming and pairs especially well with coffee or tea,” Lim notes.
O! Karto (Cream & Cheese Flavor)
Per Lim, the cream-and-cheese-seasoned O! Karto Potato Chips deliver “an incredibly satisfying crunch with a creamy, savory flavor balanced by a touch of sweetness.” The thin, hollow chips are shaped like French fries and made from potato flakes. If the cream-and-cheese flavor doesn’t appeal to you, Lim also recommends the sweet potato version.
Plum Candy
The snack reviewer is a fan of Haitai’s Plum Candy for its bold, fruity flavor profile that’s not overly sweet. But according to Lim, it’s the subtle floral note behind that punchy flavor that will keep you coming back for of the hard candies. They’re sweet, snackable, and likely to be a crowd-pleaser if you give some to friends.
Nongshim Spicy Shrimp Crackers
These crisp shrimp crackers pack a satisfying kick that spice lovers will enjoy. Lim grew up enjoying the original flavor of the savory bites, but he says, “The spicy one is especially hard to stop snacking on.”
The Nongshim Spicy Shrimp Crackers are seasoned with onion powder, red chili pepper, dried shrimp, anchovy extract, cabbage, and garlic powder. If you’re searching for an umami-forward snack, pick up a pack of these.
Lotte Moncher Cream Cake
These Lotte Moncher Cream Cakes are strikingly similar to another popular sweet snack, choco pies, but Lim finds they’re “softer and less dry.” Each treat includes two thin cake layers with a milky cream filling in between, all coated in chocolate. According to the content creator, they manage to deliver rich flavor without being too heavy.
Turtle Chips (Cornsoup or Choco Churros Flavors)
You’ll spot Turtle Chips in a wide array of flavors at H Mart, but Lim’s favorites are the Cornsoup and Choco Churros renditions. As the snack reviewer notes, “The corn flavor is lightly salty and sweet, while the churro flavor tastes like chocolate-dipped churros.”
The corn-flour-based chips are crafted in the shape of a turtle shell, as their name suggests, and each bite contains four distinct layers for maximum crunch. It’s safe to say that you should grab than one bag of these while you’re at H Mart.
