Hello. Today I’m introducing CU’s new lunchbox menu, the Overwhelming Bulgogi & Spicy Pork Set Meal. It seems to be one of the final items in the 2025 Overwhelming Set Meal series. After this, I’ll probably be reviewing the Overwhelming series again in 2026. This menu also seems to offer a more generous spread than other lunchboxes. Let’s take a look at what’s included.
Hello. Today I’m introducing CU’s new lunchbox items: Chinese Gourmet Jjamppong + Tangsuyuk Half-and-Half and Jjajang + Tangsuyuk Half-and-Half.

Hello. Today I’m introducing Harim’s new ramen product: Maze Soba Ramen. I’ve seen maze soba offered many times as ready-to-eat chilled foods or meal kits, but this is almost my first time seeing it as an instant ramen. I was very curious about what would be included and how it would taste, so I bought it right away. Let’s take a look at what it’s like.
Hello. Today I’m introducing Nongshim’s new cup noodle, Gamjatang Big Bowl Noodles (gamjatang: spicy pork bone soup). It’s a Seven Eleven collaboration and is sold exclusively there. The taste was solid, and since this item had a bit of a rocky history—discontinued in the early 2010s, brought back in the mid-2010s, then discontinued again in … Read more
