Bought a bottle of kimchi from NSK. It is of the same brand as shown in the picture below...
Keep it in the refrigerator. Now the fridge is filled with stinky smell

Is it normal
What other brands can you recommend?

If u close the container nicely it should not smell

But you can take a piece of kitchen towel and fold it, make it fully wet and place it in the fridge, the stench will go away

Works like charm

Why nowadays so many Malaysian eat korea food.
Why no choose CKT, sambal belacan, durian, petai instead

Or use charcoal block.

nsk got fresh pickled veggies u dun buy but go get the xpensive imported bottled 1

TS, your fridge does not have a deodorizer / deioniser to remove the bad odors?

Put the bottle into plastic bag and seal it.

Even before I opened the seal of the bottle it was already smelly.

Anyway, will try the wet towel method.

Easy, one time buy one shot eat. Will no smell

Can charcoal block be used inside fridge?

Please go to Daiso and buy the charcoal for fridge.

Maybe ur kimchi already busuk
U try to see la see u laosai or not

Kimchi weaks

"With such a high sodium content, kimchi has been linked to several diseases, mainly gastric cancer. The World Cancer Research Fund found that there is probable evidence that both salt and salt-preserved foods are associated with an increased risk of stomach cancer (Ge et al.Apr 1, 2017"

You wot n8

Sambal belacan is my favorites. Eat with cucumber, and nasi putih kosong.

The only prob, its hard to find the good one. Most eatheir too salty or to sour.

That's why I ask if the smell is normal.
Kimchi is fermented, but those we eat in restaurant don't have this smell.

Yes. More smelly is more normal! Charsiew

Throw away je la
I dont think a kimchi should smell like durian

Maybe they use tempoyak to pickle the kimchi
