Korean Marts in Kuala Lumpur

Korean marts (한인마트) were blooming in the neighborhood where I stayed. In the neighborhood itself, from existing 4 Korean marts, it has grown up to 9 Korean marts till to-date. 4 in Desa Sri Hartamas and 4 in Mont' Kiara & Solaris Mont' Kiara. If add in the other 6 Korean Marts in Ampang, Total 15 Korean Marts in KL till today.

Overall, almost all those basic Korean food product that generally needed for Korean cooking and living can be found in all Korean Marts above. The only difference is each Korean Mart have their own preference range of products and brands which they are selling.

(4) Kedai Bekalan Hidup & Rumati 생활용품매장

The shop first caught my attention with the "odd" Malay words at the signboard "Kedai Bekalan Hidup & Rumati". Does anyone knows the meaning of Rumati? Anyway, this is a living and life supply shop. The shop is like a mini Namdaemun. You can find all sorts of living supply such as socks, beauty items, toiletries, quilts and mats, kitchen utensils, bowls pots plates, kpop items, even souvenirs here.

Galaxy Korean Mart has converted into NH Mart in Nov'16, where you can find imported agriculture and halal products in NH Mart. One of the large scale Korean Mart located inside Plaza Mont' Kiara. Block E, Lower ground. NH Mart (previously Galaxy Mart) can be access from carpark at Level B1 as well. They have 3 reserved parking lots for their customers (30 minutes limit time) which I like the most as sometimes it is hard to find parking at plaza MK. One of the great deal I would grab here is they are selling big bulk of spring onion at RM3 only. More photos about NH Mart - Click HERE.
