Seoul's HBAF Nuts & Snacks - Wow!

Our Seoul Visit last October brought many surprises including our discovery of the popular HBAF Nuts and Snacks. HBAF is pronounced with a silent "H". We were booked at a hotel im Myeongdong, a very lively place in Seoul and just beside the hotel is one building for HBAF. I was intrigued on why HBAF is popular so before we left Seoul for Jeju, I bought three small packs of the 3 different flavors to check their products.  My first taste of the almond nuts was a WOW for their most popular flavor, Honey Butter. The Tiramisu was awesome, one of my favorites too. The Wasabe flavor was good and I liked it, sweet and spicy. Aside from almonds HBAF also promotes different types of nuts and chips - like peanuts, cashew, macadamia, popcorn etc. 

Watch a HBAF promotion at their website. Here is a sample from YouTube.

So remember, thinking of a "pasalubong" from Korea, HBAF is one unique food product aside from their Ramyeon that you can bring home to your family and friends.
