Trying K-BBQ & Korean Food from TRADER JOE'S

[@MissMinaOh]

Happy Friday, everyone! My fave part is 5:45 lol, what about you? * sesame oil with head tilt * Btw at 12:15 I specifically meant that some people like their galbi *really* sweet (all galbi is marinated with sugar). I personally like my galbi not too sweet. What's your fave place to get galbi? ▼▼▼▼▼ Today's mission is to try Korean food from Trader Joe's, including K-BBQ! What are the options? Do the items taste authentically Korean? Watch the video for the market tour and full food review :) Btw Mommy Oh said she saw Savory Korean Pancakes at TJ's before, but we didn't see it in our recent trip. Maybe you might get lucky though!

[@Oddbod15]

Loveee you mina!!♥️♥️

[@mkcheung79]

Hello miss Mina!

[@lulubelleuwu9932]

I am actually just watching it now lol

[@jadecummings8093]

Your mother looks absolutely gorgeous! 💞

[@jadecummings8093]

I would love to try any Korean foods especially rice cakes.

[@naturevalleycrumbs753]

Mommy Oh is like the sweetest person ever. She seems like the type of person that would never judge you. Virtual hugs to you Mina and Mommy Oh!

[@CapTrainT]

I love those "seaweed snacks" I eat then by themselves, with rice, with soup doesn't matter. LOVE them !

[@spang9782]

If you ever make instant ramen, it's also the perfect condiment.

[@Goldflower220]

they are so good with plain white rice.

[@DumbBitchperiodt]

Miss Mina's voice is relaxing ❤️❤️❤️

[@zhang9294]

Yes agreed

[@upsized]

Ms Mina’s overreaction and overacting to wasabi seaweed vs Mummy Oh’s nonchalance makes dear old Mum so cool!

[@helenanikolajew2819]

Minaaa thanks for always lighting up my days for so many years now... wish we could give you something back as well🥲

[@MissMinaOh]

So happy to hear our videos light up your days! Your viewership is a gift to me 😘

[@hrock8081]

Here in L.A. we have the Vegetable Pancakes (Pajeon) that are really delicious. Also, that Barley Tea was the bane of my existence as a kid growing up in America. LOL! I wanted Coca Cola and all we had was Barley Tea in the fridge that looked like a pitcher of pee.

[@lanternli1ac]

Yeah! I have a Korean restaurant called BCD. They serve really good barley tea and have really good food

[@raeyacrr584]

your words about kimchi inspires me haha because I've tried kimchi from Walmart and it didn't taste right so I spit it out and now your words really got me thinking I should keep trying different kimchi because I need to find the right one I like.

[@angie8121]

I love the fact that you and Mommy Oh's glasses are the same color, so cute!

[@joansegre8121]

I love mommy o's head cover. It's just so neat to look at 😍

[@secretscarlet8249]

Lol 9:48 Mommy Oh was cute with the "I like wasabi." 🥰

[@jadecummings8093]

Hi Miss Mina, I'm so exciting to see you again especially you Mommy Oh! Like always, you both look lovely together and I hope you're safe out there too.

[@p00coyo]

I love watching you and Mommy Oh. Mommy Oh reminds me of my mom. I miss her so much 😭

[@megothefabulous]

14:55 sitting by myself practicing saying "bulgogi" over and over again hoping no one notices

[@diannt9583]

Yes, evidently I've been saying it wrong for years.

[@outlawd1]

No no! you two are the "Darlings" of food reviews missed your vlog for awhile glad your healthy. #traderjoes

[@hopesworld0113]

I love all the things I learn from Mina!

[@TheFreshSoundsFlorida]

The conversation about finding the right kimchi got deal for a second.

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

I agree. The only kimchi I like is from Korean market called Apple Tree. I tried it from Costco but it was just a huge bottle of no flavor cabbage yuk! The right kimchi is important.

[@nacanacadelconde5974]

Where i live theres a store called green market and i buy my kimchi there

[@mpgisbtsarmybaefighting2838]

@@nacanacadelconde5974 glad you found a dependable source hihi 👍

[@EminenceGrease]

"It's like dating. You're going to have to go through multiple guys and girls..." and Mommy Oh is intently looking at you.

[@kundaigogoma9420]

She didn't stutter though the joys of multiple dating😂😂

[@k-popmirrored4241]

Wahhh It's been a long time ever since I was this early, I missed you miss Mina!!! I'm also learning Korean with your older videos😅💙

[@fatimahhussain2018]

Dang I’ve never been this fast, I love you!!🥺

[@spang9782]

I have to admit that I watch your videos because Mommy Oh is so cute. She seems to have gotten a lot more comfortable in front of the camera! Pretty soon she will need her own channel!

[@hhr1011]

The Trader Joe’s near me sells a scallion jeon, and it’s pretty legit, when pan fried, according to a Korean buddy of mine! I don’t know if you couldn’t find it or not, but I look for it every time.

[@parkjnine]

Mina, thank you so much for making this video. As a fellow Korean-American, I think its soooo important for correct representation of authentic foods in the United States. Oftentimes, like you said in the video, people can mistake "Americanized" foods sold in American grocery stores or restaurants as authentic while that's not always the case. If we don't do our due diligence, this can be costly to culturally authentic businesses like H-Mart. Correct representation and information is key and part of ongoing historical and cultural significance in the world. Great video!!

[@tsen625]

I never clicked so fast to any video miss mina magic 💜🤭

[@valcarter6816]

It's always good to see you two.

[@LorenVlogs]

hello sissy you and your mom looks awesome, you two love cooking. it's good bonding moments you and your mom had. happy eating

[@goodi2shooz]

the galbi from TJs is one of the things I always buy when I am there. My whole family loves it. I also love the barley tea but I always drink it cold and slightly sweetened it almost has a coffee like flavor to it

[@츄-k3c]

Miss Mina's white hair is the symbol of wisdom I said what I said hahaha. sure mommy oh have white hair but I am pointing on miss mina's

[@dancysauce3329]

*mommy oh's

[@Oliviaminaj]

Mummy oh’s white hair is the symbol of wisdom you mean

[@heartlacies]

@@Oliviaminaj No, she means the small strands in Miss Mina's hair. It's pretty.

[@upsized]

Totally means ms Mina

[@츄-k3c]

@@dancysauce3329 nope. miss mina. there's some white hair on her if you look closely

Hey Miss Mina "I know...I'm making it up...can I live in my fantasy world, please?" Eeeeeeee...too cuuuute...

[@kaylinl3429]

The teriyaki flavored seaweed from there is so good

[@MariaElisabethKoster]

IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!

[@aaliyah9960]

Your videos are for some reason super relaxing!! love them😍😍🤞

[@swetamajumdar3403]

Ahhhhh ive been missing your videos due to Uni, but this time im early eonni!!! Lots of love!!!

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

Omg, cutest video ever! Thanks for sharing!

[@fortune_roses]

Relieved the galbi was decent ☆ never tried store-bought kimchi but sounds super convenient

[@prettyflytraveler]

Love it! Thanks for doing this. I used to shop at TJ's a lot and didn't realize they had even that many Korean foods. As someone said you might have overlooked the scallion pancakes. I agree with Mina about the Galbi. Yum!

[@beyzamellis]

Hi Mina! Just wanted to say as a fan I am so proud of you, and your work! I was actually worried this pandemic might hurt your channel etc but you still find very interesting video ideas with still considering everyone's safety. Lots of love x

[@Lavonte4lyfe23]

I love how you describe the taste of the foods you and your mom tried

[@tentenonetrick]

Toodles ma noodles I don't even know what that's mean but it made me laugh :D

[@MissMinaOh]

It's our silly way to say "bye bye" 😄💕

[@davids5694]

Thanks for this - I never thought to look for Korean foods at Trader Joe's. They have a store in my general area, but not real close, so I don't go often - I will now have to make a special trip to check them out.

[@aroundtheworldinaprildays]

You guys made me miss Korea a lot more, and made me hungry too! I had high expectation with the galbi, glad you enjoyed it for us. 😆

[@kiwibean6]

When you said tea's name out loud for some reason my mouth watered up...idk why XD

[@kariwilson6588]

Topic ides: If you have not already done one can you please do a video on Kimchi. Taste vs fermentation, what to look for in stores. I see lots of Kimchi when I go to H-Mart and I never know what to get

[@adrienchandler4906]

Ohhh, this is a great idea. I get very overwhelmed at H-Mart.

[@mjl5497]

Highly recommend Jongak’s (brand logo is red roof over “Jongak”)napa cabbage kimchi, should be available at Hmarts nationwide. I’m Korean and it’s our go-to for store-bought kimchi.

[@MrTurtle1120]

This was super helpful Mina and Mama Oh! I was going to go on a Trader Joe's run after work and I now know what to get! Gonna skip all the mediocre items so thank you for helping me save money as well.

[@elizabethjarram]

There is a Korean shop just below my accommodation and I wasn't looking for it until I was minding my own business the other day. When things calm down in my city, I will go to that Korean shop and try the food out for myself. The Korean food looks delicious!

[@2075vj]

I’m glad you didn’t heat the meals up in plastic! Thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing 😊

[@novitakrey9666]

the fact that momy o always smile tho......(so happy!)

Love this!! I agree with the kimchi I threw it right in the garbage I love authentic kimchi I had at Korean spa with Binbap

[@jourdandolan2939]

Another great video! Mom & daughter goals. 😍 Would love to learn more Korean with you. Perhaps a future vid idea.

[@joslynm7359]

I love Mina! Mina reminds me of my aunt Debbie LOL so I love watching her channel 💕

[@JTMcAwesomeFace]

I got my annyeong chingudeul shirt on, a hot cup of freshly brewed boricha, and leftover spicy lotus root as a snack while watching. I came prepared today!!! :D

The Bibimbap frozen bowl is awesome!!

What a treat before I sleep! Time check its 12:15 am in the Philippines. 😍😍😍

I love the microwave sound effects at the end, even though you didn't do it looool

You might enjoy listening to microwave ASMR (yes, it's actually on KZbin lol)

[@usagimoon.x.o6256]

Yayy! So glad you uploaded b💜💜

[@TripleAM19]

I love that you did this video! Being non-Korean but grew up eating Korean food, I was curious of the Korean TJ items since it's just across the street. TJ's is just more for a quick and convenience shop. I've tried the bibimbap and it lacked flavor. Thanks for your opinion on the kimchi. I'll continue to buy at the Korean markets. However, when I tried the kalbi, I was quite impress with the flavors and it is pretty close to a restaurant. I make my own kalbi and I don't make it as sweet but this one is still good. I can get my quick kalbi fix with TJ's because it's pretty convenient when I'm lazy! I'm one of those who cut between the bones and clean that bone dry.. nothing is left!

[@hbkgirl1982]

Miss Mina I like that you have your mom in your videos

[@Kay-ph6fx]

Omg I’m so early!!!! ily so much!!!!

[@noahh90]

I don’t think I could live without Trader Joe’s. Literally so good and everything tastes delicious. Try the Pork Bao Buns. They are SO GOOD!

[@HadassahGH]

Omigosh Mumma Oh is too cute! I want a korean mumma!

[@young-soonkim6730]

Good Friday Miss Mina & Mommy Oh! Not all Korean BBQ Buffet Restaurant owners are Koreans! I found the food was too or extremely sweet and it was Chinese owned.

[@arcequena2703]

ohhhhh this time I am early! 😂 been watching your videos for the whole week and thinking when is the next upload then here you goooooooo 😂 BTW I was just watching your Jejudo vlog earlier 😂 then I stopped watching on YT then came back and saw that had I didn't do something out of YT, I could have been one of the first viewer 😂 Annyeong hasaeyo, Mommy Oh! 💕 Watched you since the 'How to Learn Hangul' days where you were playing lots of character then got lost, and found you again with Mommy Oh when you visited Manila. 💕 Saranghaeyo, Minassi and Mommy Oh! 💋

[@papapepe2232]

I enjoy watching your reviews 👍

[@ellekim711]

you missed the pa jeon!! one of my all time favorites at trader joe’s

[@asteriadiana]

I'm so lucky that I have a Korean convenience store down the street from me and they make the BEST kimchi there. It's my favorite. I wish I could make it as good as they do!

[@wandasanchez551]

Hi Miss Mina, I love watching your videos. Maybe you can do one on Korean restaurants in the Seattle area. I'll be traveling there soon and I always seek our Korean food. Would love your opinion.

[@lukerogers1839]

Have you tried the Scallion Pancakes from Trader Joe’s? There are oyster mushrooms inside and I think they are very tasty!

I add extra frozen spinach & cook a scrambled egg for the frozen bibimbap. Not Korean but I like trader joe's teriyaki seaweed snacks.
