Nongshim Rabbokkuri Cup Noodle Review [Korean Food]

March 21, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today I’m introducing Nongshim’s new ramen item, Labokguri, a new addition to the Neoguri Stir-Fried Cup Ramen lineup. It’s said to taste like spicy seafood rabokki. As the name suggests, it feels like a pretty unique concept.

To be honest, I’ve never tried anything like spicy seafood rabokki before, so I’m really curious what it will taste like. Could it be a mix of seafood jjamppong and tteokbokki. I bought it right away out of curiosity, so let’s take a look at what this menu item is like.

McDonald’s Double QPC BBQ Bacon Review [Korean Food]

March 21, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s new McDonald’s menu item is the Double Quarter Pounder Cheese BBQ Bacon. As the long name suggests, it is a hearty new Quarter Pounder with Cheese option. It is the double-patty version of the Quarter Pounder with Cheese BBQ Bacon, which first launched in January 2024. It is said to offer a richer beefy aroma and juicier bite. In particular, this is the first new Quarter Pounder with Cheese menu in a year since the Jalapeño Quarter Pounder with Cheese. So expectations are even higher. Now, let’s take a closer look at what it is.

[Korean Food] Matjeil Duck Bulgogi & King Dumpling Lunchbox, 7-Eleven

March 21, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s new Seven-Eleven lunchbox is the Matjeil Duck Bulgogi & King Dumplings Lunchbox. In December 2025, Seven-Eleven launched the “Matjeil” series with CJ as a promotion. Following the earlier Spam Arrabbiata, this time they introduced a more classic option. It pairs duck bulgogi with extra-large dumplings. Meanwhile, there have been almost no new convenience store lunchbox releases this December. Still, this one was quietly enjoyable with a solid flavor. So, let’s take a closer look at what’s inside.

[Korean Food] Jeongseong Hansang Lunchbox (Emart24)

March 1, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s Emart24 new and controversial lunchbox menu I’m reviewing is the Special Meal “Sincere Full-Table Lunchbox,” released at the ruinous price of 26,000 won. It’s an app-exclusive item, and they say it can only be reserved and eaten through a limited sale of 1,000 units from February 19 to February 25. I picked mine up at the convenience store on the 25th and tried it right away. These days, plenty of places are scrambling because they can’t keep lunchboxes cheap, and even for a premium option, this feels a bit excessive. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu.

[Korean Food] Root Vegetable Edition – Cheongnyeon Pizza

February 24, 2026 by PAKOC

Today’s new menu from Cheongnyeon Pizza is the “Famine-Relief Crops Edition.” It’s a new item with a pretty unusual name. As the name suggests, it’s a pizza topped entirely with ingredients that come to mind when you think of staple survival crops—sweet potato, potato, corn, and more. The topping combination is distinctive, and the portion is generous, making it suitable for a meal and also a decent option for a home party. It’s reasonably priced, with little in the way of spicy or overly intense flavors, so it’s great for the whole family. Let’s take a closer look at what it’s like.
