Arumi Frozen Korean Pancakes - Choose Between Kimchi and Seafood @ NTUC Fairprice [Singapore]

I hate to admit this but an air-fryer should be classified as a necessity for any household. No thanks to it, I have been buying quite a lot of frozen stuff and aside from FreezePak Crispy Chicken Nuggets, another item that would always take a spot in my freezer would be Korean pancakes. 

Specifically the ones above; Arumi frozen Korean pancakes. Made in Korea, they came in two different flavours; either Kimchi or seafood, which is usually the options available at Korean restaurants and one pack comes with three pancakes. Original price is S$7.90 per pack from NTUC Fairprice supermarkets.

Even though it might appear a bit expensive, I think we must be mindful that Korean pancakes in restaurants are priced about S$20 in general and given the convenience, a smaller piece that cost less than S$3.00 each is still acceptable.

You can either pan-fry or put it in the oven; I chose the air-fryer at 200 degrees over 12 minutes, turning it to the other side at the 6-minute mark. 

I like mine with a crispier circumference! Now, I am actually particular about Korean pancakes as many were just full of flour but they were nice for sharing in Korean restaurants. So far, the better one in Singapore came from Pa Bul Lo Korean Charcoal BBQ and it was priced at S$22.00, before GST and service charge.

These frozen ones attracted me for the following reasons; the batter was thinner, resulting in a crispier bite that was way more satisfying and Arumi was pretty generous with key ingredients like kimchi and seafood; see that large slice of kimchi, and the pockets of squid meat in the picture above! 

At times, NTUC Fairprice would have promotions for the pancakes and for the month of July, each pack had a discount of S$2.00, costing only S$5.90; each Korean pancake would cost less than S$2.00! Needless to say, accumulation is a must and I have six packs at home now... Should I buy more?
