Taiwan Food: Taiwan's 7-11 Ready to Eat Meal Box

One thing that I love about Taiwan is its 7-11 stores. Taiwan has the best 7-11 stores, even better than Japan's I must say. For instance, its variety of the ready-to-eat meal boxes is really extensive. 7-11 stores in Taiwan change the taste that they sell for ready-to-eat meal boxes at regular interval. No wonder the Taiwanese can go to 7-11 on a daily basis.

Today, I am trying the briyani rice with mushroom sauce chicken. I assume it's briyani because it looks yellow. Hahaha.

The product looks like this after a few seconds inside the microwave. I guess more or less it looks the same as how it looks like on the cover. Hahaha.

Taiwan 7-11 Briyani Chicken and Mushroom Cream Meal Box

Taste-wise? Not bad at all. Price-wise? I can accept it at 65 NTD.

A good student-meal deal. LOL.

Taiwan Eats: Lays Potato Chips, 7-11

I was so excited when I see those potato chips with flavor that I never try before. And there are two unique flavors that I saw in Taiwan's 7-11.

The first one is spicy meat jalapeno.

The second one is tomyum.

Both taste pretty good. Oriental taste for potato chips. Hahaha. You can easily find them at convenience store in Taiwan.

Taiwan Eats: Instant Cereal, 7-11

Okay I never think a cereal can be sold in a more ready-to-eat way than what they are currently it. I mean cereal is usually sold in a box and what you need to do is simple enough as it is, right? Open the box, pour the cereal into the bowl, take the milk from the fridge and pour the milk to the bowl. But oh boy 7-11 managed to make it even possible to eat cereal without actually using the bowl, and hence, no dish-washing required! Yeay!

A superb packaging enable us to eat cereal without the need of utensils too (there's a folded small spoon on the top of the milk cup). And it tastes good. Yum!

And just like that, my love to Taiwanese convenience store is getting stronger and stronger. =P

Taiwan Eats: Cup noodle at convenience store

吃幾碗的泡麵? How many instant noodles bowls have you eaten?

Whenever I am not so concerned about my health (those days exist!), I love eating instant noodles. I don't know what kind of flavouring that the Taiwanese use in their instant noodle package but it works (in terms of taste but no idea about health content).

Best place to eat instant noodle? Convenience store, of course. Like this huge 7-11 that I randomly found around Gongguan. Huge convenience store means more seats inside. Plus wifi. Tee-hee.

Oh, say hi to 7-11's mascot (which I don't know the name).

Today, we are going to try AQ (阿Q) cup noodle. Based on the picture I think the taste should be BBQ pork? =P

3 minutes later. Hmm this one looks kinda plain. And empty.

The garlic taste in the broth is quite strong. It's edible but I would rather eat different flavor.

There's always deal going on about cup noodles. Sometimes, you can get one at 17NTD only. Crazy, eh? Better don't eat this everyday for your health sake. Hahaha.

Taipei Eats: 7-11's Sushi Roll

7-11 has a very important existence in Taiwanese' daily life. And I really understand this because after stepping my feet on Taiwan, I don't know why but I always visits 7-11 on daily basis. LOL.

Especially if I am pressed for time or can't decide of what to eat, or lazy to walk further just to buy meal, I will just pop by 7-11 and grab whatever deal they have.

One the yummy deal is usually their sushi roll!

There are two types of roll inside one package. The blue package contains kani roll sushi and tamago roll sushi.

There other package (orange if I'm not wrong), contains floss roll sushi. Hahaha only Taiwanese put floss inside their sushi. I kinda like it though. =P

Another Taiwan snack post

Did I tell you I love to snack? If you forget about that fact about me, you can check out this post and post. #shameless

One of the fun things about grocery shopping in Taipei is that there's always new stuff to try. Yeay!

First is something called frugurt (fruit-yoghurt??).

I was expecting something yoghurt-like but it turns out to be more like strawberry milk pudding. Taste so-so.

The next one is koala biscuit filled with cheese cake filling (something like Hello Panda). I like this one. Sorry, I did not take the picture of the biscuit because I was busy eating it. XD #greedy

The last item to introduce today is the cocoa milk tea. Most drinks sold in Taiwan's convenience stores taste amazing. And this one is included. Slurp~~~

The above really look like my daily staple of food intake. Hahaha. Oh well~~

Where to eat cold noodle in Taiwan?

The hot humid weather is upon us once again. Not sure whether I like it but it is sure the best season to drink bubble tea everyday. Muahahaha.

Other than bubble tea, summer means the appearance of cold noodle. Something that I don't really see in 7-11 in Singapore or Jakarta. But here, in Taiwan, cold noodles are pretty common. So I curiously grabbed a pack.

This is how it looks inside. The pack is inclusive of eggs, cucumbers, sauce and the yellow noodle. The sauce is usually sesame sauce.

And this is how it looks after I mixed everything in. And yes, it is meant to be eaten cold. It tastes quite yummy especially on a hot summer day. Yum!

If you want to give it a try, simply pop by any convenience store in Taiwan and you'll find them. Happy eating!

My precious collectibles (or junks) from convenience stores

Ever since I moved to Taiwan, I've been joining the craze of collecting gifts from the local convenience stores. The idea is you will receive a sticker from making purchase (min NTD80 I think) in the convenience stores. The stickers also looks damn cute! This is the ones that I got for Doraemon promo way back then.

And then you grab the small booklet for the coupon. You can get the best gift if you collect the maximum number of stickers. However, if you are not that hardcore fan of convenience stores, you can redeem the gift (the smaller ones and sometimes, the not-so-interesting ones) by collecting probably 8 stickers, depends on the promotion.

I'm a hardcore 711 customer (and so does majority of Taiwanese). So yeah...=P

It is not easy to redeem the gift even though convenience stores are basically everywhere in Taipei. Why? Because of the fierce competition. If the gifts are good, people will go crazy and hence, OUT-OF-STOCK! Arghh! I only managed to get my Doraemon gift in convenience store located at..Taoyuan International Airport! Heck. (I was picking up my friend, not purposely going there for the Doraemon. XD)

It's a cute alarm clock. I supposed that's why people want to collect them.

I got Nobita's alarm clock which I suppose suits me well because I love napping so much that I do that everyday after having my lunch. What a pig, right? Haha.

Do check the convenience stores' promotion while you are in Taiwan. You never know, you may be able to get something cute by buying things there. And oh boy, they do sell interesting things! =)
