Craving For Korean Snacks? Here’s Where You Can Buy Them In Singapore!

Korean cuisine is very popular in Singapore. Be it a restaurant, café or bar, there are now a lot of establishments selling Korean food. And while most of them are accessible, there are days where we just don’t feel like going out of the house to eat despite the cravings.

On lazy days, instant foods and snacks will be a lifesaver! Regular groceries may have a limited stock of Korean goodies, but fortunately, there are now dedicated marts where you can purchase them.

Here are few stores we found:
