Nathalee's Kimchi
Seller Location: CANDON CITY

I've tried eating Samgyup in Sta Cruz, San Jose Candon, Caburao Santiago and San Esteban Ilocos Sur, Urdaneta City and Dagupan City Pangasinan, even Baguio but this kimchi so far is ONE of the best that i have tasted. So unexpected...

I hope the Samgyup houses would get Kimchi from them. That would be an awesome match for sure.

Kudos to the maker 👍👌 Mhaey Cristobal
