Hung Fook Tong's sweetest concoction

7-11 Signature series - Pear with water chestnut and fig drink
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The sweetest combination for a drink consisting of fig, pear and water chestnut.
I quite like the combination of fig and water chestnut, however I was quite iffy about the pear.
Drinks containing pear are always sweet.
The drink was over my definition of sweet by 500 times.
After diluting about 150ml with 200ml of water it was much nicer, and you can taste the water chestnut, the taste of the others were not that bold.
According to the label, it also contained apple juice as well which I could not taste, mostly probably added in as a preservative/stabilizer.

7-11's exclusive Thai fried rice with minced pork

After trying the Vietnamese fried vermicelli. I decided to try the fried rice as well.
I didn’t realise it was Thai style until I picked up the box.

It was rice done in thai style with minced meat.

Instead of micro waving it, I re-heated it by pan frying.
Same as noodles, it was packed with spices and herbs.
However I am not a person that likes lemon grass and tom yum, but if you like that, you’ll like this fried rice.
The texture of the rice was quite mushy.

Ingredients:
Cabbage, onion, egg, pork, fish sauce, tom yum paste, garlic, lemon leaf, lemon grass, lemon juice, red chilli, shallot, thai basil.

7-11's exclusive Fried Vietnamese rice vermicelli with chicken

However 7-11's exclusive one looked like it was going to be delicious from the poster.
It looked like a thai dish because of the lime and the redness of the noodles.

After I had microwaved it, I was surprised how nice it tasted. It was rich in fish sauce and seafood tastes. 
The ingredients I could taste and were listed on the label were: Onion, cabbage, egg, carrot, chicken, red chilli, shrimp oil, fish sauce, shallot, thai basil, chicken powder.
The taste reminded me of the Filipino palabok.

Ingredients
Not only could they be tasted, you could physically see the julienne carrots, onions, chicken, shallots, egg and thai basil!

After it was microwaved 

Before it was microwaved


I do not know much on Vietnamese food because the ones I have tried locally are too localized and did not taste nice.
Hence I have not really made an effort to try other places.

7-eleven snacks [Tuna Roll]

Saw these interesting skewers from 7-eleven, so tried the tuna roll, basically it dosnt really taste of tuna.
It just tastes of flour flavoured with flavouring!
The appearance of the tuna roll was trying to imitate tuna sushi rolls.

7-11's Ham meatball Oden おでん

At 7-11 they had Oden skewers, there were six different items so I tried the ham meatball.

Basically it tasted like a meatball and it was slightly spicy, the spices in that meatball tasted like the sichuan spices with aniseed and chili.

(Quoted from wiki)Oden (おでん) is a Japanese winter dish consisting of several ingredients such as boiled eggs, daikon radish, konnyaku, and processed fish cakes stewed in a light, soy-flavoured dashi broth. Ingredients vary according to region and between each household. Karashi (Japanese mustard) is often used as a condiment.
Oden was originally what is now commonly called misodengaku or simply dengaku; konnyaku or tofu was boiled and one ate them with miso. Later, instead of using miso, ingredients were cooked in dashi and oden became popular.
Oden is often sold from food carts, and most Japanese convenience stores have simmering oden pots in winter. Many different kinds of oden are sold, with single-ingredient varieties as cheap as 100 yen.

Regional variations

In Nagoya, it may be called Kantō-ni (関東煮) and soy sauce is used as a dipping sauce. Miso oden is simmered in hatcho-miso broth, which is lightly sweet taste. Konjac and tofu are common ingredients.
In Kansai area they are sometimes called Kantō-daki (関東煮 or 関東炊き) and tend to be stronger flavoured than the lighter Kantō version.
Oden in Shizuoka use a dark coloured broth flavoured with beef stock and dark soy sauce, and all ingredients are skewered. Dried and ground fish (sardine, mackerel, or katsuobushi) and aonori powder (edible seaweed) are sprinkled on top before eating.
Udon restaurants in Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku almost always offer oden as a side dish, to be eaten with sweet miso while waiting for the udon.
In Taiwan, the dish is called Heilun/Olun (黑輪) in the Taiwanese language. Besides the more traditional ingredients, olen also uses many local ingredients, such as pork meatballs and blood puddings. More recently, oden is offered in convenience stores and is known as guandongzhu (Kuantung-chu; 關東煮) in Mandarin.
In Korea, Odaeng (오댕) is a street food that's sold from small carts and is served with a spicy soup. It's very common on the streets of Korea and there are many restaurants that have it on their menu or specialize in it.

7-11 marinated meats exclusive

Got two products from "Tang Shun Hing" packaged exclusively for 7-11.

Although they are designed to be heated up and eaten at 7-11, it proves to be messy and a sticky task.The contents of the food are packed in a vacuumed sealed bag, with a plastic tray and a pair of gloves, you need to open the inner bag, empty the contents into the dish and simply microwave it.

Hence very troublesome to carry out at your local 7-11, also the tray is not really deep enough.

I got the Lo Shui purely because it was pre-packaged, it horrifies me to get them from restaurants from metal trays by the windows with oil dripping off, flies buzzing around them and the exposure to sunlight through the windows.

The Lo Shui mix contains duck wings, ducks feet, ducks liver, ducks gizzard, and peanuts, and the spring roasted chicken was just half of a spring chicken. I thought it would be a whole chicken, but it was just half a bird.

After microwaving it, it was ready to eat.

The Lo Shui mix was quite nice, although for the ducks feet and wings, it only contained one piece each.All of the items were quite soft, except for the duck’s liver, which I was quite looking forward to, it probably got dehydrated during the heating process.

The gizzards, which I do not usually eat, were the best that I have had, the texture was a bit like baby pork shanks.They were evenly sliced, not looking like shrivelled up gonads from Chinese medicine places.The only thing that let it down was the saltiness of all the lo shui items.

As for the spring chicken, it just tasted ok.

7-11 convenience store's exclusive Peach tea

Was quite surprised it didnt have that soapy fake taste.

Not really worth trying.
