Assi Fresh Plaza Iloilo offers a collection of must-try Korean food brands, making most of Korea available in Iloilo City. One standout – which Ilonggos have long been looking for– is Melona.

Another frosty standout is Samanco, a variation to the classic Korean pastry, Bunggeo-ppang. Bunggeo-ppang is a fish shaped pastry stuffed with red bean paste.
