Christmas is just a few days away. If you are running out of ideas on what to give a Kdrama or Kpop addict friend, we have a few suggestions for you. We spotted five items from our recent Korean grocery raid that we think they would appreciate.
EXO x Pepero
The white chocolate cookie was one of the hottest items in SMTown. They made the perfect pasalubong for EXO-Ls. We could not contain our excitement when we spotted them in abundance at Assi Grocery for P45. Go hoard. You’re welcome.
Nam Joo-hyuk x Nongshim Prawn Crackers
“Weighlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo” leading man is the face of this prawn cracker. It will be difficult to bring home Nam Joo-hyuk but you can give a snack with his face on it.
Park Seo-joon x Bibigo
The actor of several drama hits including “Fight my Way”, “She Was Pretty” and “What’s wrong with Secretary Kim” also has a long list of endorsements under his belt. We know that Park Seo-joon is the face of a milk tea chain, he is also the endorser of the Korean food brand Bibigo. This package is dumpling called mandu. They are often steamed or fried with a dipping sauce of soy sauce, vinegar and sesame oil.
Chocolate Pie
K-addicts will always appreciate a box of chocolate pies. The pies are SHINee Minho’s favorite. He once made a birthday cake with it. He always gives it as gifts to foreigners. It makes sense that you give this to someone whose life needs to be sweetened up.
Ramen
What is a k-drama without ramyeon? Instant noodles are comfort food even for your favorite celebrities. Park Seo-joon cooked it in “Yuon’s Kitchen 2” before heading home. It is almost a staple in all of the “All the Butlers” episodes. You can never go wrong giving this to someone who loves watching K-dramas. Just be warned that Korean noodles are almost always spicy. Try to bring the heat down by putting half the condiments it comes with and adding cheese on its stead.
