For $1 I’ll Try Anything

There’s a huge Korean supermarket in Carrollton, Texas called H Mart. And by huge I mean enormous.  Turns out it’s a chain and a big enterprise.  At this location there’s a full produce section,

kimchi department (I don’t know how else to call it), food court,

bakery, large seafood section, clothing boutique, household goods section, phone store.  And also a large grocery store in the middle of all this. It’s like a Super Wal-Mart or Super Target–for some reason super doesn’t happen in my state of California–but with a dedicated aisle of soy sauce:

So walking around all this square footage with the aroma of food enticing my every step, I really want to find a snack.  Sure enough, amidst all the Korean food-to-go stands, I spot something that has no meat. The sign says “fish black bean.” Eww, right? But for $1 I’ll try anything, especially if it comes with a show:

The pastry is a cross between a pancake and a waffle with semi-sweet black bean paste baked inside:

My mom liked hers, and I’m good for about 3/4 of the fish. The first bite sure was yummy though:
