Hello! Today, I’m introducing a new menu item from Mom’s Touch, part of the Edward Lee Chef Collection 2 lineup, the Thigh Boneless Menu. It’s called the Edward Lee Cream Dijon Big Thigh Boneless. I also reviewed the K Thigh Burger and Beef Burger, which were released with a combination of red pepper powder and coleslaw, and they tasted quite good. So, I immediately ordered the chicken menu that was released together this time. Let’s check out what kind of menu it is.
Cream Dijon Big Thigh Boneless Price and Features
I immediately ordered the last menu to review from the Edward Lee Chef Collection 2, the Cream Dijon Big Thigh Boneless! It’s said to be a menu using Dijon mustard, which is somewhat unfamiliar in our country. It’s a type of traditional French mustard, and I have a faint memory of buying it once to make some meat and salad dishes, but now I’m meeting it again as a chicken sauce! Haha.
First, the price is 14,900 won for regular and 22,900 won for max at the store. In my area, the delivery price is 16,400 won for regular and 25,400 won for max, but prices may vary slightly by store. Generally, you can expect it to be over 15,000 won and over 23,000 won. I also ordered pickled radish with it. Since pickled radish is not provided by default with Mom’s Touch chicken menu, I naturally ended up ordering it.
Cream Dijon Big Thigh Boneless Components
I ordered the regular menu! When you unbox it, you can see the visual of the Big Thigh Boneless with white cream sauce generously poured over it.
The cream is an ivory-colored sauce, almost white. When you smell it, the scent of cream cheese is stronger than the sour smell of Dijon mustard. A bit of dried parsley is sprinkled on top!
According to the press release, it is said to be a slightly thick cream cheese base mixed with Dijon mustard in a certain ratio, and chopped onions are added to give a crunchy texture and a clean aftertaste. Honestly, just hearing about it doesn’t quite convey the feeling! Haha.
A bit of concern is whether this menu, like the previous Thigh Burger menu with bacon jam, might be slightly different from the Korean palate. Just from the visual, the first taste seems like it would be quite rich, and the middle and aftertaste would need to be experienced to be known.
The Taste of Cream Dijon Big Thigh Boneless
Let’s take a bite first. Since it’s made with Big Thigh Boneless, each piece is very large! There’s also a lot of sauce, so there’s no worry about lacking flavor.
So, when you take a bite, the taste is like eating chicken with pasta sauce filled with cheese in cream sauce! I expected the Dijon mustard to add a slightly sour taste to counteract the richness, but that taste is much less than expected.
While Dijon mustard can taste good if used well, it’s a somewhat unfamiliar taste to use just as it is, and the taste is noticeable enough to know it’s there. Most of the taste is dominated by the savory and slightly rich creamy taste of cheese and cream sauce. To be honest, it’s quite rich.
For Koreans who are generally accustomed to salty, sweet, and spicy sauce flavors, this is a very unfamiliar combination! There is a bit of onion included, giving a crunchy texture and a slight onion taste, but it doesn’t significantly affect the overall flavor.
Anyway, thinking of it as adding cream cheese sauce on top of greasy chicken, it was a menu that could be quite overwhelming for those without preparation or tolerance for rich flavors. It seems like it would definitely be a love-it-or-hate-it menu, and after eating more than two pieces, I felt like I wanted to boil some pasta and use less sauce.
Each piece of chicken was so heavily sauced that there was no escape, but thanks to the unique Cajun flavor and slightly spicy taste of the Big Thigh Boneless, I managed to eat it. The pickled radish I habitually ordered felt like a real blessing today. If you order, make sure to have a drink at home, and definitely order pickled radish.
Still, I can give it a somewhat positive evaluation for experiencing a different kind of menu after a long time. Thinking about it, I wonder if I could taste such a menu elsewhere! If it’s a menu made by Chef Edward Lee, there’s no reason to stop you from trying it.
