Korean Convenience Store Food, Spring 2021

Whenever I spot something unusual, I always end up buying it.

Kkotgerang

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

It was just okay..

GoldStar

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

It is the old-school style.. and sure enough, the noodles do go soft a little quickly.

Baehongdong

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Slightly sweet with a bit of heat. I am not a fan of Paldo, but Baehongdong was not bad.

Kwasak Chip

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

A hard-style potato chip, though in Japan they have been selling these for ages under the name kata-age.

Toad Potato Chips

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

I cannot see what is supposed to be good about it.

Sesame Ramyeon Time..

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Not bad if you dip it in the sauce, but not my thing..

Doenjang Ramyeon

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Surprisingly, it tastes like a proper doenjang soup. It could work as a stand-in when you just want a quick bowl of doenjang soup.

Baked Jjajang

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Yukgaejang

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

This one was a bit of a miss..

Wanmyeongak

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

This one did not have much character either..

Gohyang Mandu Chip

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

I am against this flavour.. potato and mandu do not go together well.

Bibim Chip

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Not great either

Squid Peanut, soy sauce and wasabi flavour

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Not great either..

Rocket Calcium Egg Snack

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Not great either

Milk Ramyun

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

It is mild, sure, but only so-so..

Swing Chip, soy sauce chicken flavour

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Just so-so..

Masinneun Ramyeon Vegan

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Not great either..

Katsuo Udon

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

This one was clearly benchmarked on Tuigim Udon Keunsabal, the big-bowl tempura udon..

Sweet-potato-shaped snack

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

I had heard GS’s sweet-potato-shaped snack was good so I bought one.. it is tasty, all right, but it tastes like it will make you fat..

Teumsae Ramyeon Spicy Kimchi

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

It was unbelievably hot..

Jinmailang Tan Tan Men

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

The taste was pretty good.

Healer Meat Jjamppong

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

I have no idea why it is called Healer, but it was hot enough to do internal damage.

Ppasae Double X

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Doubling it does not seem to make it any better..

Omori Kimchi Fried Rice Nurungji

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Oddly enough, it tastes quite a lot like the fried rice you get at a barbecue place.

Miwon Ramyeon

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

Adding Miwon makes the ramyun flavour feel much sharper. After eating this I started putting Miwon in every ramyun I make..

McCol Barley Hardtack

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

It was unexpectedly good, and better than the others because it was not soggy. Every packet of hardtack I have bought lately has been too soggy to eat.

Sokcho Red Snow Crab Ramyeon

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

It does taste a bit of crab.

Protein bar

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

The taste is just so-so..

Ojingeo Tok

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

The squid flavour comes through really well and it was so good. Perfect with a drink.

Icheon Rice Cone

Pyeonuijum 2021 may

I bought it because they say it is Emart24’s bestseller, and it is definitely tasty. I am not sure it is worth going out of your way for, though.
