Edit: Using Google Translate, I think Oseyo (Eats) 오세요 means “please come (and eat)” – please correct me if I’m wrong.

As you enter you’ll see a food counter and a bit home-ware…
Liking the light bulb arrangement!
Then you go down some stairs and you’re greeted with a big food area and I feel the shopping area has gone a little smaller… maybe because lots of stock had gone beforehand. Hmmm.
On exiting to the till area, you’ll see a lot of raw meat, fish and a whole big section of sushi.
I’m trying to cut down on the rice, but that might not be possible if I came here all the time!! ^_^

It’s quite a big store. Even though there’s a lot of variety, I still prefer Morrisons and Tesco.
Here’s a reminder of the times it opens and closes.
Very conveniently placed near the bus stops (like the one in Waterloo. ^_^ )
Good luck Sainsbury’s Elephant and Castle!

Here’s what I had that evening. Battered cauliflower with salad. Black tea. And I also had an apple struedel. Trying to prove to Miss Vegan that I can be semi healthy on a night out. LOL!
Thankfully there was an indoors section… some of the items were too pricey for a car boot sale. Miss Vegan told me later that I should be bargaining there… Woah. I’m allowed to bargain?!! Well if there’s no price, then bargain away…!!
There are lots of nice cheap things there but I decided to skip. Maybe next time when the sun is out and when there’s more sellers around.
Don’t forget, this car boot sale is in a school playground area.
In the end I bought this box for Miss Vegan for £1 to put her change in. ^_^ Pretty isn’t it?!

Ack. Artbox has moved!
It’s now moved to a back street of Covent Garden as the previous location will be under construction.
Fingers crossed for more items!
The following pic is of lots of old Chinese people who were about to eat outside in China Town to celebrate The Queen’s 90th birthday… ^_^

Hoo Hing is a little expensive compared to the prices in China Town, but it’s the only place nearest to where I live that sells frozen cheong fun (flat rice noodles with fillings).
You can buy live crabs and lobsters in this place! Wow!!
Well if you visit make sure to check out the little restaurant they have… was too shy to go in.

Most of the foods here you can buy in other Asian stores, but I think H Mart Mini is quite unique. They sell the flat fishcakes and Korean kitchenware… and they even sell these fishy sausages. Ugh!! Remember I tried them before – the ones I bought from Hong Kong… Bleurgh.
I bought a good £15 worth of stuff… frozen rice cakes, fishcakes, spicy ramen, dduoboki sauce… and what did I make? Rabokki – a Korean street food snack.
As well as the ingredients for the rabokki I bought refrigerated boneless fried chicken. Yaaaay!! ^_^ So happy!!
I even bought a water bottle that you see in some Korean restaurants. For some reason I wanted one of those for a while. Now I know!
Think I’ll be coming here from time to time. ^_^

So MummyGeek and I went around. Be careful of the traffic as there’s a parking lot outside and one on the side of the supermarket section.

Santa and his pumpkin (which will turn into reindeer at night – joking!) |
Items are definitely cheaper there than in China Town, but I do prefer China Town as it’s more convenient, more restaurants and more choice really.
![]() |
They sell DURIAN COFFEE!! YEEK!! |
![]() |
An easy way of making loads of bubble tea |
If you’re lucky you might be able to try out food. MummyGeek and I were quite lucky to try out some dumplings and we got packets as it was buy 3 bags and get 1 free, all different flavours of course. My brother Mr Stingy went there the next day and he didn’t get to try out any food. Heheheh ^_^.

Food tasting ^_____________^ |
Within the supermarket there is also a cute store called Fortune Stars 星城工藝, but this one is not as big as the one in Purley Way and it doesn’t have many things that I liked.

Cute Store – Fortune Stars |
Next door there is an electrical store, so for restaurants and those looking for good cookers, it’s a place to look into.

Electrical appliances store – more cookware |
I didn’t get to see the bakery – probably hidden away near the restaurants…!

Massive pagoda!! |
On returning we went a different route. We took the number 32 bus to Edgware (I didn’t realise it’s so far from Wing Yip!) and then we took the tube back to Kennington. Such a long journey back, but worth it. ^_^

Buses to get to the store |
Between both stores, Mr Stingy and I vote for Wing Yip in Purley as the best out of the two. Mr Stingy said people in the Croydon area are friendlier. I vote for the Purley store because their cute store is bigger! ¬,¬”

Beef stew |
The beef stew came with white rice in a silver bowl (as they usually do in a Korean restaurant).
![]() |
Stew and rice |
It was a proper beef bone soup but there was a lot of beef bits in the soup as well as some Asian parsnip.
![]() |
Not a lot of meat on those bones, but there is a lot of loose meat in the soup |
Side dishes came with the set… kimchee cabbage, burdock root and beansprouts.
![]() |
Side dishes: kimchi cabbage, burdock and beansprouts |
The soup came out very hot. So I had to blow on it quite a lot. It tasted ok, not too salty not too bland, just ok. I mainly put the rice into the soup to eat like you would with kimchi stew but I think I shouldn’t have because it was hard to eat!
![]() |
My meal |
It was a good meal, I had all the side dishes to cool off the heat from the soup… Unfortunately I couldn’t finish all of the soup because there was so many people just staring about and I felt conscious that people were looking at me… I would rather sit in a dark hole and not be stared at!!
![]() |
Finished!! |
Total cost came to £12.50 that included a £1.20 service charge (10%). Not sure if I should have ordered a drink otherwise I think the price would have been average for this meal.
My geeky rating: 4/5
Good points:
– Nice small Korean restaurant
– So-so service
– Like the side dishes!
Bad points:
– Service charge
– May have to wait for a table
