Introduction
Hey there, fellow foodies and travel enthusiasts! Today, I’m here to share my recent Costco food review featuring Korean-style crunchy chicken and Portuguese egg tarts. Join me on this culinary adventure as I give you the inside scoop on these delectable treats.
Korean-style Crunchy Chicken
Let’s start with the Korean-style crunchy chicken. This dish comes with two packs of chicken and two packs of sweet and spicy sauce. After cooking it in the air fryer for about 16 minutes, the chicken becomes crispy on the outside, while the sauce thickens in boiling water. The sauce offers a rich umami flavor with a hint of heat, but the overall texture of the chicken feels a bit doughy and mushy. Despite the crunchy breading and flavorful sauce, the chicken’s taste seems to get lost in the mix, leaving room for improvement compared to restaurant-quality Korean fried chicken.
Portuguese Egg Tarts
Next up, we have the Portuguese egg tarts. These tarts boast a flaky, buttery crust with a sweet and rich custard filling. The caramelization on top adds a delightful touch to the overall experience. While these frozen egg tarts may not match the ones you’d find in a bakery in Portugal, they still offer a satisfying treat for dessert lovers. If you’ve never tried Portuguese egg tarts before, Costco’s version is a good introduction to this delectable pastry.
I hope you enjoyed this Costco food review featuring Korean-style crunchy chicken and Portuguese egg tarts. Stay tuned for more food adventures from around the world!
