Seoulbox November 2021 “Wonka Café” Review
Seoulbox sent their yummy Korean goodies and products in a large white box.
Here’s a peek of what we got! I love the “Welcome to Korea” and interior decoration. It makes me feel like I'm partially getting transported to Korea!
My kids first saw this cute yellow plushie, and they love it! Everything we got in our box is jam-packed with Seoul chocolate and coffee snacks that we couldn't wait to try!
In every Seoulbox, you can find Haechis — one of the most beautiful and mystical creatures found in South Korea, Seoul.
Seoulbox also includes a magazine that contains all the details about the products they sent us.
This November, Seoulbox’s theme is “Wonka Café” and the theme features chocolate & coffee culture in Korea. It reminds me of Willy Wonka here in the US, sans the coffee of course!
Here’s a tasting guide section of the magazine so you will know what to expect when yo taste in each goodie.
Here is a background story about coffees and cafes in Korean Culture. This is a nice way to know and understand the culture of Koreans – I didn't know cafes were so engrained in their culture.
Now, let’s take a closer look at each yummy treat!
Potato Chip Hot Gobchang
The popular soju side dish inspired this potato chip. It's crunchy and has a gobchang (beef intestine) flavor, making it unique. I wasn't quite sure about the beef instetine, but didn't really taste that at all. It was like a normal beef flavored chip.
Nature is Tasty Hong Myun
I like the rich and deep broth of this noodle! It has natural ingredients that feature beef mushroom stew.
You need to boil 500 ml water, empty all the sachet, and cook for 4 min 30 seconds. This nice, warming bowl of noodles is perfect for this cold ,winter weather!
Myeong Ga Gamtae Seaweed
This is my favorite in this box! I love this seaweed – it is made from 15% gamtae and 85% gim (normal seaweed).
It has a light texture, flavorful taste, and elegant aroma. Seaweed chips are now one of my favorite healthy snacks! No carbs at all!
BTS Hot Brew Vanilla Latte
This latest release features Koreas hottest *K-Pop group, BTS. I love the stylish art nouveau-looking bottle!
This ready-to-drink premium coffee has a perfect balance of deep and sweet espresso-based hot brew extract and vanilla extract. The coffee beans are from Vietnam, with the flavor and taste of strong coffee, and sweet tasting milk. It has a very strong vanilla flavor!
Jeju Tangerine Chocolate Pepero
This newly-launched limited edition flavor of snack sticks from Lotte Pepero is so yummy!
The chocolate sticks are coated with fresh and sweet tangerine from Jeju Island. It features a strong tangerine flavor due to the tangerine biscuit coated with tangerine chocolate. I also like the company's campaign promoting domestic agricultural products. My kids love these!
Coffee Peanuts
These sweet peanuts coated in coffee-tasting rock sugar are a yummy snack! This is a popular side dish for soju and beer drinking in Korea.
I love the pleasing aroma of coffee while eating peanuts at the same time!
Dinosaur Egg Chips
These dinosaur egg chips were so intriguing to my kids. Just like a dinosaur egg, they have a sour and savory taste. These chips had a very pungent smell, so while fun to try – we did not eat many of them.
Five Grains Cocoa Balls Bar
This Five Grains Coco Ball Bar has just been released in the form of a bar. Each bar contains 9 vitamins, 3 minerals, and calcium – full of nutrition! You can also pair this with your favorite milk drink anytime, anywhere! It is also featured in some popular k-dramas! So, you can feel like the actors/actress while enjoying the snack!
Dream Cacao by Lotte Snacks
This dark chocolate cube deep in flavors is easy to snack on, an has excellent texture that melts in your mouth. I was pleasantly surprised that these cubes weren’t very sweet at all! And they don't have too much caffeine. One little chocolate nugget melted slowly in my mouth and only has less than 1 carb! The container is totally portable – easy to pop into my bag before I hop into the car!
Margaret Baked Mocha Cookies
This mocha bun will make you feel like you're in the subway across the station in Seoul. It has a crumbly texture with light mocha bun flavors of the cookie top. This is best paired with milk or coffee for a snack!
Mon Cher Cake Salty Peanuts
A cake covered in caramel peanut chocolate. Underneath the three cute chocolate curves, sponge, and peanut butter cream hidden. It's best paired with coffee and I really liked it!
Binch Caffe Mocha
This Chocolate biscuit with a coffee tweak has a surprising light cinnamon taste! The biscuit wears a luxurious European pattern at the center of it. You can now enjoy Café Mocha chocolate and short biscuit snacks at the same time. This was one of my favorite snacks in this box – you can't go wrong pairing a biscuit with chocolate!
Arabica Coffee Gum
This chewing gum has a smokey, sweet Arabica coffee flavor and is fairly soft. I have never seen or tried coffee flavored gum before, so this was quite interesting!
Maxim Mocha Latte
This extra-sweet mocha latte will make you enjoy wherever you are with just one pack. Add water and stir.
Jaws Watermelon Jellies
This Juicy, fresh, and fruity jellies have a mix of surprising colors with different flavors. The grey gummy is orange and strawberry, and the crimson gummy is watermelon flavor. My kids also loved these!
Propolis Ener-G Ampoule Mask
This FormaLab Hydra Ener-G Ampoule Mask contains Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, which can deeply hydrate your skin and promote healthy skin. It’s made of 100% vegan sheets that sit safely on your skin. I can’t wait to try this!
Kpop Plush
My kids love this cute and fluffy yellow plushie! There is also a plastic hook, so you can hang it in your favorite places! Getting a new plushie each month from Seoulbox would be so fun for my kiddos!
Wrap Up
I was pretty happy with everything I got in my first Seoulbox V! This box is perfect for vegetarians, or anyone interested in exploring Korean culture. Seoulbox whisked me away to Korea, by sending me chocoalate and coffee themed treats from their “Wonka Cafe”. We also learned some Korean cultures and why Koreans were known to be coffee lovers. My kids loved the Kpop Plush, Jaws Watermelon Jellies, Dinosaur Egg Chips, and the Jeju Tangerine Chocolate Pepero. I loved the Myeong Ga Gamtae Seaweed, the Five Grains Cocoa Balls Bar, and the Binch Caffe Mocha. You can get Korean treats like these only $35 per month – all without leaving the comfort of your own home!
