[Food Review] Pizza Sub Subway

April 6, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today I’m introducing Subway’s new sandwich menu item, the Pizza Sub. Subway usually makes a big splash at the end of the year with thick, meat-heavy sandwiches. However, new releases tend to slow down until spring. This time, they launched a very light option for the in-between season.

In short, it feels like an Italian B.M.T.-style build filled with pizza ingredients. It was easy to eat without feeling heavy. Moreover, it had a slightly different vibe from the existing lineup, so it was fun to try for something new. Now, let’s take a closer look at what it’s like.

No Brand Burger NBB Amazing Double Salsa Budget Review [Korean Food]

April 6, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s new No Brand Burger menu item is the NBB Amazing Double Salsa. It is a more affordable version of the “Ghost Pepper Double Salsa,” which launched in early January 2026. The heat level has been toned down a bit. Meanwhile, the lineup switches to double patties for a cleaner, more straightforward bite, aiming for a more mainstream flavor profile. Based on the components, it looks like a solid double-patty burger with a spicy salsa sauce added on top. So, it seems like it could be quite enjoyable. Now, let’s take a closer look at what this menu item is all about.

CU Donggyeong Gyudon Cheese Demi Hamburg Rice Bowl Review [Korean Food]

April 5, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s new CU item is a chilled, ready-to-eat collaboration with Tokyo Gyudon: the Tokyo Gyudon Cheese Demi Hamburg Rice Bowl.

Convenience store ready-to-eat meals tend to get less attention than lunch boxes. Still, this one offers decent quality and a solid lineup. That said, it is hard to call it an amazing value for the money. However, among convenience store ready-to-eat foods, it maintains a fairly acceptable level of quality and flavor. So I decided to review it.

Now, let’s take a closer look at what it is.

No Brand Burger NBB Amazing Double Ranshofe Edition Review [Korean Food]

April 5, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s new No Brand Burger item is the NBB Amazing Double Landshowfe Edition, a limited-time menu available until April 12, 2026. The name is a bit unusual. However, it is a promotional menu tied to the Landers Shopping Festa. It is an upgraded version of the popular NBB Amazing Double. In particular, it boosts the double-sliced cheese and the cheddar cheese sauce. Recently, No Brand Burger’s value for money seems to be making a comeback. Because the response has been quite positive, I was really curious about this one too, so I ordered it right away. Now, let’s take a look at what this menu is all about.

BHC Soy Garlic King Crispy Soy Sauce Chicken Review [Korean Food]

April 5, 2026 by PAKOC

Hello. Today’s new chicken menu is BHC’s “King” series. Following Sweet Chili King, they’ve released Soy Garlic King with a “crispy seasoned chicken” concept.

After Sweet Chili King launched with the idea of staying crispy to the very end, it seems the response was quietly solid. This time, they’re introducing a soy sauce–seasoned chicken concept.

They say it delivers a unique taste and texture. It combines the salty, savory umami of soy sauce seasoning with the deep, distinctive aroma of garlic. So, let’s take a closer look at what this menu is like.
