Hello. Today’s new menu item from 7-Eleven is the Kkanbu Lunchbox, a Chinese-style set meal bento. At first, I wondered if it was a collaboration with Kkanbu Chicken, but that wasn’t the case at all. It’s a set meal that combines spicy fried chicken (Kkanpunggi) and mapo tofu. The value for money is fairly average, and the lineup is decent, so it makes a solid option for a meal. Let’s take a closer look at what it’s like.
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 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 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’m introducing Nongshim’s new ramen menu, the Shin Ramyun Kimchi Stir-fried Noodles, which has been exclusively launched at Emart. This ramen is being introduced as a limited edition in Korea and is expected to expand overseas soon. It has been designed to align with the “Swicy” trend, which signifies a balance of sweet and spicy flavors, making it easily approachable for foreigners. The taste seems quite good! Personally, I found it better than the Shin Ramyun Stir-fried Noodles. Let’s take a closer look at this menu.
