Lotte Mart is where a lot of Koreans go to do their grocery shopping, it’s super convenient, often located next to subway stations and it’s also a great place for tourists and visitors to stock up on sweets and snacks to bring home for friends and co-workers. Here are 6 of our favorites, enjoy!

The tteokbokki cracker has a nice spicy kick to it. Slightly glazed with a sticky texture, this snack comes with a nice crunch unlike the usual rice cakes, although some may find it a little too sweet for their liking.

This packet of little crab-shaped rice crackers is the cutest of the lot and trust us, you wouldn’t bear to eat it. It has a faint fishy shrimp taste that gets more addictive as you continue munching on it. Give the spicy flavor a shot if you need the extra oomph!
6. Crown Butter Waffles

Crown Butter waffles are the best crisp waffles you can get your hands on! A buttery taste best enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee as an afternoon snack, this snack is everything you can ever ask for. A word of warning though, you won’t be able to stop munching away after your first bite!
