Korean markets & bakeries

Korean markets provide some of the best and widest range of fresh fruit and vegetables in the greater Washington area. My favorite is the Super H-Mart in  Fairfax. But there are plenty of others, large and small, where - because the Koreans who shop in them tend to have been raised to be proud and serious cooks - the quality of fruits is higher than, dare I say it, Whole Foods whose fruits are sometimes better suited to a sports goods store.

Korean bakeries offer some interesting adventures in soft loaves and unusual cakes and buns.

    Enjoy your postings and agree about the Korean markets. would like to add H Mart in Gaithersburg behind Lakeforest Mall and Shilla Bakery on Veirs Mill Road in the Twinbrook Shopping Center in Rockville. sorry that I can't give the exact addresses. a Korean market also replaced the Giant in the Fox Chapel Shopping Center in Germantown.
