Korean Puzzle

Lucky we live Hawai’i...where the yummiest cuisines from across the Pacific Rim come to mix and mingle! The Local Favorites wooden puzzle collection pays tribute to ethnic cuisines that have become beloved fixtures here in the islands. Koreans emigrated to Hawaii in several waves throughout the 20th century, carrying with them the irresistible tastes of their homeland like kimchi and kalbi. Honolulu's Korean dining scene is concentrated in the Keeaumoku area, but the "Korean BBQ Mixed Plate," a hybrid of classic Korean dishes and local additions, like Macaroni salad, is found all around the Aloha State. It's mashisoyo - delicious!
