Hello. Today I’m introducing GS25’s new menu item, Hyeja-style Fried Udon 2900. It’s a completely new offering being released for the first time in a while from the Hyeja lunchbox series, which recently underwent a major renewal. What’s more, it’s not a typical lunchbox but a fried udon menu. With various items like naengmyeon, noodles, and bibim noodles being released this year, it seems udon is now being offered as a fresh lunchbox-style menu as well. Let’s take a look at what it’s like.

Today, I’ll be reviewing one of them—a pasta option. It’s a lunchbox concept featuring pasta made with classic arrabbiata sauce, topped with Spam cut into cube-shaped pieces. Let’s take a closer look at what this menu is like.

Hello. Today I’m introducing 7-Eleven’s new lunchbox menu, the 2-Minute Samgyeop Kimchi Jjigae. As the name suggests, it’s a lunchbox that lets you make kimchi stew quickly in just two minutes. This is already the third kimchi jjigae item I’ve seen at 7-Eleven, and this time it seemed like the components had been changed and the product refreshed, so I bought it right away. The flavor has been pretty solid each time it’s come out, so let’s see what this one is like.

Hello. Today, I will introduce a new burger menu from 7-Eleven, the Over Limit Monster Triple Burger, released as part of the Over Limit series. The convenience store burger comes with the name “Monster,” so I decided to purchase it myself. The packaging feels hefty, and it has quite a weight to it. However, since it’s part of the cost-effective Over Limit series, I’m a bit concerned. Let’s take a closer look at what this menu offers.
