Hello! Today, I will introduce Emart24’s Chuseok special lunchbox menu, the Holiday Big.ZIP Lunchbox. It’s a multi-dish lunchbox that compresses the holiday table setting into one concept! It seems that Emart24 put a lot of effort into this lunchbox for this holiday, so I bought it right away. Although the review is a bit late, shall we check out what kind of menu it is right now?

This menu was specially released just before the Chuseok holiday, but it was not available for reservation until October 8, so I could only purchase it on October 8. Anyway, I intend to review it, focusing on the significance of having tried various convenience store lunchboxes during this holiday. It seems it might be sold until mid-October! The price is 6,900 won.

It’s somewhat hefty for the price, and the calorie count is quite high, making it very sufficient for a meal. Also, it uses 2025 Nonghyup new rice, so the concept is clear!

Let’s take a look at the menu composition. This menu consists of a total of 12 side dishes, with 2 main dishes and 10 side dishes. It includes a variety of meats, vegetables, and pancakes, following the principles of a traditional table setting well.

Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netThe two main dishes appear to be Japchae and Soy Sauce Bulgogi! The Japchae seems to be the best-composed among the convenience store lunchboxes released this time! It includes carrots, mushrooms, and meat evenly. The Bulgogi seems to have a rather saucy style!

Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netThe pancakes consist of meat pancakes, kimchi pancakes, chive pancakes, and two round pancakes. The meat pancake is not just a simple meat pancake but a chicken breast tofu pancake, so I’m quite curious about the taste!

Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netThe vegetables are well-composed with bellflower root, spinach, and bracken, but these days they are often replaced with rapeseed or radish greens! Other side dishes include stir-fried potato strips and stir-fried kimchi.

Now that we’ve checked the menu composition, let’s start tasting right away. With a variety of side dishes, it seems like it will be fun to savor the taste while eating!
ⓒ
Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netI first tasted the main side dish, Japchae. Japchae includes basic mushrooms, carrots, and meat, making it a relatively substantial composition compared to the overly simplified convenience store Japchae these days. However, it still felt a bit lacking as a convenience store lunchbox.

Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netThe amount of soy sauce bulgogi is less than expected. The soy sauce is quite salty, so I recommend eating it with other side dishes. Keep in mind that there isn’t much meat!

Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netOverall, the other types of pancakes are quite ordinary. I didn’t have high expectations for the taste since they likely used frozen products, but they used delicious products, so they fit well in the mouth! Haha
ⓒ
Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netThe chicken breast tofu pancake was softer and less dry than expected! It’s slightly seasoned, but as mentioned earlier, it would be perfect if you add a bit of soy sauce bulgogi on top. Haha, I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netThe other vegetables and side dishes were fresher and crunchier than expected, making them enjoyable to eat. They were a really good composition to eat with the pancakes!

Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netThe side dish I mentioned earlier that I wasn’t sure about turned out to be stir-fried dried shrimp. Haha, the dried shrimp is quite small and very salty, making it good to eat with other side dishes.
ⓒ
Copyright PAKOC https://pakoc.netThis menu was overall well-composed to fit the concept of a traditional table setting, making it very good for choosing and eating various things. It wasn’t just a lot of side dishes, but unlike the recently simplified and streamlined holiday full table setting menus, it adhered to the traditional table setting rules to some extent, making it a suitable menu for those who miss such lunchbox compositions. If you have the chance when you visit a convenience store, I recommend trying it!
