I haven'...They HAVE that shaved ice stuff here! I haven't tried it. I prefer Baskin Robbins- call me an elitist. Some friends of mine had that ice stuff. Theirs came with fruit, too. And apparently it was all artfully arranged, so they were picked around the red beans, and just eating the fruit and ice, until their Korean friend was like, NO, NO! We have to mix it all UP. They were all NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Apparently it's a treat here.<br /> Yeah.... our Costco doesn't do that, thankfully. You can buy dog at the market though. =)Ryan, Corrie, Max, and Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12832246645239409049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354347401540870125.post-63585141502936183562010-12-01T02:35:51.022+09:002010-12-01T02:35:51.022+09:00HAHAHAHA I TOTALLY had that happen to me!

They have red bean popsicles (which arn't bad, except the red beans are kind of lumpy and I don't like lumps in my popsicles), red bean slushees, red bean cookies, red bean cakes,doughnuts, etc. etc. But actually, if it's the same kind we've got here, once you have it a few times it's not bad! Red beans are sweet enough that they kind of can pass as a desert! You just have to get over the "western" desert mindset. I personally like them on top of shaved ice, with condensed milk on top. :) Anyway, I assure you there are waaayy worse food surprises to be had in Asia.... like buying a yummy looking roasted chicken from Costco and discovering the head and neck stuffed inside..gag.. and..chicken butts on a stick, and pickled organs in your ramen noodles, etc. AND that pressed fish paste sounds downright awful.Sharon E.
