When we were at Costco, we saw the frozen Korean (inspired) BBQ (recipe) chicken and decided to try some. The box came with 2 bags of the chicken and 2 bags of the BBQ sauce.

This is how trying the chicken played out:

First bite: "This doesn't taste Korean, tastes more like generic American Asian. The chicken texture also feels kind of like... shrimp?"

Next couple of bites: "This isn't very spicy, but it tastes all right."

Final bites: "It's a little spicier with more of the sauce... but it is way too sweet... I'm not going to get this again."

So it basically just tastes like other microwavable Asian foods that are too sweet, and the taste gets tiring after a few bite.. and I won't be buying these again.

REVIEW – Pierre Signatures Grilled Chicken Sandwich from Costco (Frozen)

The frozen Pierre Signatures chicken sandwich was a little sweet and seemed like it was sweetened with teriyaki or something. The chicken patty was a little spongy and didn't really feel like chicken.

It ended up being a little sweet for me, which was a little disappointing since the box just states "Flame-broiled Chicken Breast Patty on a Sesame Seed Bun" and didn't have anything on the front that indicated it's a sweet sandwich. It seems like a lot of times when I get chicken things, they end up being sweeter than expected. So, I would have preferred a more savory chicken sandwich, but it was OK.

However, my boyfriend really likes these sandwiches.... especially with an added slice of black forest ham and exactly three Mt. Olive sweet bread and butter pickles on them.

REVIEW – Burger King: Tropical Mango Smoothie, Mocha Frappe, Chicken Strips, and Hamburger

Burger King Burger and Chicken Strips
Burger King Mocha Frappe and Tropical Mango Smoothie

The Tropical Mango Smoothie at Burger King was delicious. It had a nice mango taste and was refreshing. I really liked the texture of the ice in the smoothie.

The Mocha Frappe at Burger King was also delicious, and I don't really like coffee. It was very chocolatey - kind of like a chocolate milkshake with a little bit of a coffee taste. My boyfriend was hoping that there would be more of the coffee and was a little disappointed (which is probably why I liked it), but he still thought it tasted pretty good.

The new chicken strips at Burger King were very good. I thought they weren't as dry as McDonald's chicken strips and weren't overly salty. They kind of tasted like the popcorn chicken at Sonic but in chicken strips form.

I had never had a hamburger from Burger King before and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a hamburger (not a whopper) with just pickles, and it tasted good. I liked that it was more dry and didn't feel super greasy like the burgers at McDonald's. I also liked the bread; it wasn't mushy like many other burgers I have had.
