Hualian Market II — Local services in Madrid

All the sauces you may need such as all sorts of soy sauces, sauces for your toppoki, korean black bean sauce to make jajamyeon, sesame oil, gochuang.

I literally spent more than an hour looking at the products with some friends and there is still a bunch of things we didn't explore. The staff was also nice enough to help us and recommend snacks and drinks which were all amazing, something I had never tried and a little glimpse on asian food and snack culture. I really want to go back, sadly I don't...

There are many good Asian shops in this neighborhood. This one is smaller than others, but it's well-stocked - good variety, in a smaller footprint. There's never been something I needed that this shop didn't have! Like the other shops, these specialty products don't come cheap... But that's the price of wanting...
