Hello! Today, I would like to introduce CU’s new lunchbox menu, the ‘Hankkijok New Choeae 11cheop Hansang’ (in Korean ‘한끼만족 New 최애11첩한상’). It’s a renewed version of the previous ‘Choeae 11cheop Hansang’ (in Korean ‘최애11첩한상’), a menu I have enjoyed quite satisfactorily for a long time, so I was curious to see what has changed and decided to purchase it. Since it was a menu with good value for money, I hope there aren’t too many changes this time as well! Let’s take a look at what this menu offers!

Hello! Today, I’m introducing CU’s new product, the Parmesan Chicken Burger, a collaboration with Chef Kwon Sung-jun of ‘Napoli Mafia’ (in Korean ‘나폴리 맛피아’). After the trend of black-and-white chefs passed, and with ‘Napoli Mafia’ having showcased various collaborative menus, I thought no new menu would be released, but this was an unexpected launch! It’s said to be a well-balanced combination of Parmesan cheese and chicken burger with added tomato sauce. With a collaboration with Chef Kwon Sung-jun, who is known for making this style of menu well, I couldn’t resist purchasing it! Let’s find out what this menu is all about.

Hello! Today, I’m introducing CU’s new lunchbox menu, the returning “Overwhelming Carbonara”! It was initially released as Bacon Carbonara in the second half of 2024 and was discontinued, but now it’s back as just Carbonara. Until early this year, unique concept fusion pasta menus were mainly released, but it seems they’ve decided to bring back a familiar pasta menu! Let’s find out what this menu is all about!

Hello! Today, we will take a look at CU’s new lunchbox menu, the renewed and returning “Overwhelming New Korean Pork Kimchi Stir-fry” (‘Handon Kimchi Jeyuk’ in Korean). Among the “Overwhelming” series, following the popular “Korean Pork Soy Sauce Bulgogi” (‘Handon Ganjang Bulbaek’ in Korean), the “Korean Pork Kimchi Stir-fry” has reappeared as a product that sells well or even better! It seems to have been renewed along with the launch of the “Overwhelming” series, as it was quite popular due to the generous portion of kimchi stir-fry! Let’s check out what this menu is all about!
