Lately I find myself looking for meals that are light but still packed with protein. This time I visited Waiseutabeu in Gagyeong-dong, Cheongju with my baby and picked up two protein boxes to go. I ordered one Chicken Light and one Beef Light and tried them side by side to compare taste and texture.

## Where is Waiseutabeu Diet Cheongju Gagyeong Branch?

Waiseutabeu Diet Cheongju Gagyeong Branch sits on the first floor of the Gold Plaza building in Gagyeong-dong. The orange exterior with the big "WHY STARVE?" sign made it easy to spot. Outside the entrance there was also a menu board showing the full lineup and prices at a glance.

## Inside the shop: easy for solo diners

Inside, Waiseutabeu Cheongju Gagyeong keeps the same white-and-orange look as the exterior. Seating is mostly arranged around 2-person tables, which made it a comfortable spot to eat alone.

## Protein box menu and how to order

Waiseutabeu's signature menu, the protein box, lets you choose your own combination in order: protein → base → sauce. Protein options included chicken, smoked duck, salmon, and beef, while base options included pasta, tofu noodles, oat rice, and more. Besides the protein box, there were also protein rice bowls and pasta dishes to choose from depending on preference.

## What we ordered and how long pickup took

I was told it would take about 5 minutes after ordering, and I was actually able to pick it up quickly right on time — that was a nice touch. I chose the Light version for both menus, so I ate them centered on vegetables and protein rather than a separate carb base.

### Chicken Light protein box

The Chicken Light came generously topped with thick-cut chicken along with a mix of vegetables like lettuce, broccoli, and paprika. The chicken was really tender and lightly seasoned, tasty enough to eat as is.

Paired with the wasabi mayo sauce I chose, the soft chicken combined especially well with the savory, slightly sharp kick of the sauce.

### Beef Light protein box

The Beef Light had the same vegetable lineup as the Chicken Light, but with chunky cut beef. The beef was cut into bite-sized pieces, easy to eat together with the vegetables, and its chewiness made the meal more filling than expected. Paired with crunchy vegetables like broccoli and green beans, the texture worked really well together as a single meal.
