## Today's order: one salad box and one poke bowl

- Chicken Light Protein Box (salad) - ₩8,900
- Chicken Oat Protein Box (poke) - ₩9,900

Curious whether it lived up to its reputation as a Konkuk salad spot, I ordered one light salad and one hearty poke bowl.

### Chicken Light Protein Box (salad), 8,900 won

I picked this one to skip the calorie burden while still getting protein 💓 A generous 150g of nicely browned steamed chicken breast sits on top. The chicken wasn't dry at all — it pulled apart along its grain and went down easily without getting stuck in my throat. Underneath, lettuce, chickpeas, green beans, broccoli, paprika, and olives keep the crunch of the veggies alive!!! The onion flakes scattered throughout added a nice savory aroma, and I went with the oriental dressing.

### Chicken Oat Protein Box (poke), 9,900 won

![Chicken oat poke bowl served with sriracha mayo sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ystove-diet-konkuk-salad-poke/ystove-diet-konkuk-salad-poke-20-qwpat-900.webp)

When you want to eat carbs while staying full for longer, go for the poke! The composition is the same as the light version, but underneath there's a generous layer of oat rice. Oats, known as one of the world's top 10 superfoods, give a chewy, bouncy texture that Somi absolutely loved!!

The nuttiness of the oats paired well with the plainness of the chicken breast, making it fun to chew. With chickpeas and green beans mixed in too, I stayed full for a long time after finishing the meal. The sauce was sriracha mayo!! Totally recommend 🩶
