Squid Peanut, gochujang mayo flavour

Combini 202209

A limited edition Squid Peanut sold only at Homeplus, and it turned out to be a real treat. Wow, so this is what it tastes like! The savoury depth of the mayonnaise meets a bit of heat, which makes it a top-class drinking snack too. The trouble is that it is hard to find in the first place, and it seems to have been discontinued recently — I really do not get why they discontinue the tasty snacks..

Haechandle Chadol Doenjang-jjigae Ramyeon

Combini 202209

I like doenjang-jjigae ramyeon, and these days it comes out regularly so I can have it whenever I fancy it, which is nice. This one is better than just decent, too.

Ohta’s Isan

Combini 202209

I can feel my digestion getting weaker as I get older. Ohta’s Isan is what helps at times like that, and it does not just aid digestion, it picks up your general condition as well. You could fairly call it a cure-all..

Popcorn

Combini 202209

It’s good.

Gimtongkkae

Combini 202209

The flavour is benchmarked on Ottogi’s Chamkkae Ramyun, though it differs a little in that there is laver instead of the egg block, and the noodles are non-fried. Well, either way the taste was never going to be in doubt.

Hershey’s mint wafers

Combini 202209

Anything with the Hershey’s name on it seems to taste more or less fine.

Caramel Corn Croissant

Combini 202209

This one was a bit of a miss.

Pumpkin yakgwa

Combini 202209

This one was so-so as well..

Cootiq Essential Jjajang

Combini 202209

Some people say it is good, but I cannot work out what is different about it.

Tomato budae jjigae

Combini 202209

It was just about edible.

Peanut gangjeong

Egg cookies

Combini 202209

Combini 202209

A bit sweet.
