    The problem with the Costco reviews is the regionality of things. In NJ we don't have anything that he shows.

    I literally went to the Costco in Mobile AL last week and didnt seen any of those squiggly noodles, dumplings or the Korean fried rice. I even tried looking on Costco online and didnt see any of these items. You must be going to one of the biggest Costco in the states. I didnt even see those egg tarts.

    • @na78981

      Costco is highly regionalized in the US. The one I go to in Maryland has almost all of the things he has, because he have a large Asian population in this area. However, the Costco in the area in Maryland that I used to live had none of these things because the population of the area was different.

    Costco Durian special brother Mike 🙏 plz plz! Our Costco had Durian/mung-bean banh pia during the holiday season but not currently. Right now we have frozen vacuum sealed durian meats, as well as a whole/spiky durian fruit in the refridgerated produce section. Also have durian ice cream (Mavin's brand) and I've also seen durian mochi snacks. I have tried the vacuum sealed durian flesh, the banh pia, and the ice cream, but not the other two items. If you like good peanut butter, it goes well with all, especially the ice cream and banh pia, but even the straight-up fruit meats. I feel weird calling them meats, but its also appropriate since durian makes me think of Swedish meatballs 😂which have plenty of onion in them, thus the association maybe. PB and durian ice cream is the jam.

    • @bengtal
      @bengtal 2 місяці тому

      also the frozen sweet potato fries are not bad, and again with the peanuts you can make a peanut sauce, heavy with peanut butter and some soy-glaze/gingery/sweet aspect, and garlic, etc.. Also on a cheezy note, the Kingdom Organic Cheddar at Costco is good, and for some reason I've been craving ketchup, so literally ate pieces of cheese with Heinz. Crave weird things at different times, and sometimes I don't want to eat at all.... Vigorous exercise and cannabis are necessary for me.
