Korean Groceries at Mu Gung Hwa Jakarta

Korean food has became as famous as Japanese cuisine over the last decade. It is yummy yet easy enough to prepare. And here's a Korean supermarket in Jakarta for you to check out if you want to whip up some nice korean dishes at home or get some korean snacks.

MGH (Mu Gung Hwa) appparently a supplier of korean groceries here in Jakarta, have their own stores around Jakarta. I went to the one at Jl. Senayan (it's not at Senayan though! Nearer to Senopati) which is the nearest to me.

In the midst of couple of housing estates.
You can find korean frozen food, as well as fresh ingredients that are used in Korean dishes.

Stocked up on my korean ramen, pepper paste, etc.


They also sell poultry and beef which looked relatively fresh, better than some Daily supermarkets. There's also a section where one could get fresh rice cakes and homemade kimchi/radish/etc. Be warned to check the prices before you head to the cashier; while most are reasonably priced,  some imported items seemed to be overly expensive. I bought a can of luncheon meat for 60,000 (bout 6usd)...really expensive for luncheon meat!

A small korean eatery is also connected to the supermarket which I spied some korean families having their meals there. I made a mental note that I would return to try. Haven't you heard a saying that if you can find the nationality of the cuisine having their meals in the restaurant, the place would probably be quite good.

Don't be confused with the address, the shop is not at Senayan!


























If I were you, I would also drop by Indoguna Meat Shop for some fresh cuts of imported beef and salmon, it is only a short drive away. You may read my earlier post on Indoguna here.

Manicure/Pedicure In Jakarta and Where to Go

I don't know if I am being overly critical or just plain fussy but I find that manicure and pedicure services in Jakarta are not up to par as compared to the other Asian cities like Bangkok, HongKong, and even Singapore! And by all means, the services aren't cheap as compared to overall standard of living locally. To have manicure/pedicure at somewhat a decent place with clean tools usually starts at 220,000 idr (22usd)...and you are not guaranteed OPI or internationally known brands. Nail salons at shopping malls will set you back about 450,000idr (45usd/52sgd)- funny how manicure in Jakarta cost the same in Singapore. Whoever said Jakarta is cheap?! Once, I accompanied my friend to a salon at Kemang where she wanted to have a hairwash and blowdry and I decided to have a manicure/pedicure there while waiting for her. The girl/manicurist came with a large plastic container (like the ones you store miscellaneous stuff in the wardrobe/storeroom) and inside it, the tools and ...

Birthstory: Giving Birth In Jakarta via natural delivery

Many friends and acquaintances I know are actually pretty skeptical about giving birth in Jakarta due to the lack of medical know-hows and emergency infrastructure locally. Hubby G and I decided to deliver in Jakarta after much consideration. (You may want to read about it here: Deciding To Give Birth in Singapore or Jakarta ) Couple of blog readers have been asking me about my childbirth experience in Jakarta and hubby G is also constantly pestering me to record the birth experience so that we won't forget in the future.(Birth amnesia is real~~ I am starting to forget details of my delivery with my first child) And also, for the sake of anyone like myself who's frantically trying to research about delivering in Jakarta; for those who has tried googling for e.g 'delivering in Jakarta', 'giving birth in Jakarta', 'experience childbirth Jakarta', 'natural birth jakarta', 'expat giving birth Jakarta', etc and yet got not much information i...

Maintaining Your Relationship during Pregnancy

Worried That Your Husband Might Cheat During Your Pregnancy? Fret Not..Your Relationship Can Emerge Stronger During Your Pregnancy. Asians have couple of weird perceptions, one of which is that a woman's pregnancy usually put a toll on the relationship or drive partners to "cheat" outside. I would quite proudly say that my pregnancy had brought my husband and I closer and more intimate than ever. It has helped to reinforce the relationship and allowed us to 'synchronise' as a team.  I suspect that a lot of people tend to forget that even during pregnancy, couples need to bond and the relationship needs to continue being nourished. For most pregnant women, especially for those who suffer severe pregnancy symptoms like myself, will find a dip in your libido and also discomfort with certain intimacy. That is perfectly normal and will fluctuate along the pregnancy. The physical aspect of the relationship is nevertheless important but the emotional aspect i...
