As the K-Food Supporters program continues to recruit new members for the term of year 2024, the organising committee “Korea Agro Trade Center LA” has been actively promoting the event with packages delivered in advance to some creators. On a rainy August day, a box filled with K-Food made its way to Winston Salem all the way from Los Angeles turning an ordinary afternoon into a magical exploration of the K-Food world.
Naturally, the most enthusiastic to try new things were the little children. Aged 6 and 9, Frankie and Arden had the time of their life scrutinising the Korean delights. “I had never tried Korean snacks before but I like it very much”, says Arden with a mouth filled with Homerun Ball while Frankie gives the snack a whopping 20 on the scale of 10. The crunchy balls with chocolate and vanilla filling instantly became the children’s favourite with the Yugwa Rice Puff being a close second.

The grandma who has been closely monitoring the children’s snacks intake tried some herself, especially enjoying Kimchi and Roasted Seaweed. She also seemed to have a liking for the puff and was very delighted to see the excitement in the children’s face. “Thank you so much for sending the box”, she exclaimed as we wrapped up the Taste Test party with a happy tummy. We are also planning to host Korean Snack Party and invite Grandma’s friends over which is definitely something to look forward to,

While I indiscriminately devoured all the items on the box, I have to admit that the “Aachim Haestsal” or the Rice Drink is surprisingly my favorite item off the box. The kids were not particularly fond of the taste, perhaps because of the lack of sweetness but I liked the flavour of it for the very reason. It was not bland and felt like a healthy substitute for other beverages so a win-win situation for someone who tries to be conscious of their consumption yet can not deny the temptation.

My experience with trying out the K-Food Box was not anything short of amazing. Each snack stood out in its own way with its delightful taste and yet again I got to understand the beauty of the Korean cuisine. Not only are the treats highly appetizing, the packaging of the box is also praiseworthy. I was very pleased to receive the picnic mat, keyring, and chopstick along with the food.The application for the K-Food Supporters program is ongoing until the 15th of August. In the words of Arden, “If you want to get the taste of Korea, you must try these snacks.” Do not hesitate to apply and try your luck, you might be the next K-Food Grand Ambassador.
