7-Eleven Hawaii Taste Test -- What's in a Hawaiian 7-11 convenience store?

Rumor has it that 7-Eleven Hawai'i is similar to konbinis, i.e. Japanese convenience stores, as it stocks tons of ready-made foods and Hawaiian-style classics like musubis and warm manapua. Come along as I taste 7-Eleven Hawaii-style. 🌺 New videos every Thursday and Saturday 8 pm EST.

[@BH-sn7ws]

fokiat What has that to do with whether I cook or not? I won’t eat any more if I had to buy food out than I would if I cook. It’s most likely that I would eat more home-cooked food than what I’d buy from a 7-11 store. Most of the food Emmy was eating was based on the Japanese diet. You don’t have nearly as many large Japanese as you do Hawaiians or Samoans. That food is a lot healthier than the fast food we have in the contiguous 48 states. Here the population is getting larger and larger every year. What’s the reason for that? Certainly not the food from 7-11. 😁

I now want to visit Hawaii just for the foods your 7-Elevens sell. I live in Delaware and feel cheated that we don't get that shit here. None of our 7-Elevens sell that shit, and I can count the number of times I've shopped there with the fingers on one hand. Around here, the big deals are two regional convenience stores: Wawa and Royal Farms. The former is known for their subs, soups, and desserts. The latter is known for their fried chicken, hot dogs, burgers, and potato wedges (RoFo calls them "Western Fries").

Then I asked the lady working there if they have more musubis or manapuas and she was so confused and my cousins were laughing at me and told me I wasn’t in Hawaii. Hahahaa

First time I went to a 7-11 on the mainland in Portland, my husband warned me they won't have musubi's. I was like, okay, maybe they have other bentos. I mean, it is a 7-11. I was so wrong! I never went to another 7-11 on the mainland again. That was 15 years ago. Hawaii 7-11s spoiled me.

Growing up 7-11 is just a staple of local Hawaii culture. When we'd go to field trips 7-11 is where we got our lunches. Also, of course, the rice is good here it's one of our staples. lol My favorite thing was a musubi with like a thick slice of ham dipped in teriyaki sauce (and no spam just the slice of ham), I used to eat that for breakfast sometimes before school growing up. Also their sushi is pretty good and the manapua and somen salad are delicious. Thanks again for making me appreciate my 7-11 more. All that food you ate are foods I grew up with. Also, in Hawaii we have a food truck that goes around neighborhoods like an ice cream truck (it has the loud music too), but we called it "The Manapua man" not the truck but whenever we'd see the truck or hear the music everyone would get excited because they knew the "manapua" man would be on his way. The truck had all the local foods you tried and more especially manapua and rice cake (I used to buy that a lot, it's good and it's all I could afford as a kid), they don't come around that much anymore but I wish they still did. I appreciate you showing off our unique US 7-11 to everyone. Mahalo nui loa.

That’s how he made it, so that’s how I make it!

My boyfriend's grandmother delivers all the Bentos to the 7-11s here on Kaua'i every morning, 7 days a week! Glad you like them!

The mac and beef, being sweet is likely a nod to Philippine spaghetti . I thought us Americans had a sweet tooth but I think from all the filipino recipes I've read and seen on KZbin they have us beat there, LOL. I'm disappointed there is no erupting volcanoes in honor of your visit.

[@NyyyaMe]

Losttoanyreason Oahu has no active volcanoes. You sound kinda ignorant to my home as well.

[@mandymichelle342]

Not only are your videos entertaining, but they are also very calming at the same time! How do you pull them both off... I dunno, but I like it!

[@leigha77]

Aloha Emmy!!! Love your show 🥰! I’m from Hawaii and I’m so happy you’re here eating food I love!!! ❤️

[@jamesglenn641]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@emielabalahin465]

Thanks for the fun video! I really enjoyed this. I wonder if there was a filipino influence in the beef mac dish. Filipino spaghetti tends to be sweet with tender noodles, so it sound similar in flavor and texture to what you ate. I also would love to try the poke and inari dish. It looks so delicious!

[@mikecroly4579]

So very lovely to see you again dear Emmy!

[@jroxz5689]

Seeing the things that you were eating. Brought me back too my childhood. Miss Hawaii so much. Keep up the good Work Emmy, much love from Germany.

[@VanRocCarMor]

Hawaiian Punch in Hawaii. Get on it Emmy.

[@kimberlys8422]

Now I'm craving Hawaiian punch.

[@FrarmerFrank]

Hawaiian punch was a Ice Cream topping made in California.......and Hawaiian Pizza is from Canada Mahlolo Syrup....usually Strawberry is the "Hawaiian Gold" of juice syrups in Hawaii. I like the Lemon-Lime for making 49's green river myself

[@Livealohahawaii]

I really enjoyed this video Emmy. I live in Hawaii and take all these foods for granted. I loved hearing your thoughts on them. There is sooooooo much more to enjoy. For a treat will always remember, try to make your way to Ani’s Bakery in Aiea. You will have a field day with their baked goods. The most unusual and mosr delish item is Hapia Purple sweet potato pie with a macadamia butter crust. 🌸🌴🌸

[@jennifergray6782]

Hawaiian punch is not from Hawaii. POG is what you need to try.

[@justinkoga5593]

Hawaiian Punch is trash green river is what you need

[@Terminalfears]

I used to get musubi at school, or on the way from 7-11 on O'ahu, I miss it. Now I make it for my family! Thanks for sharing!

[@HiGuysWithPuff]

I love love love Emmy. Started on Facebook and found her here. She's so sweet and humble and always the same.💕

[@halfbreed808]

The mochiko chicken musubi is better. The Teri chicken/egg salad sandwich is ono 2.

[@joannacaldeira3910]

My daughter likes the mochiko one better too.

I miss the longonisa musubi.

Yup. Mochiko>Garlic.

Gosh, if only we had half of those meals in Mexico I'd be soooo happy!

I like convenience store nachos. That cheese is great, though the chili always freaks me out a bit.

[@MonographicSingleheaded]

Yes, it has been confirmed, you are absolutely adorable 🤗😊🙏 thanks for being here Emmy ✊😤

[@martinaleigh331]

I would get a bag of shrimp chips almost every day when I was in Hawaii. I visited my mom for about 6 months last year, I had an amazing time.

[@cherrytrees7255]

Oh I miss 711 back home. However, please read the ingredients on Hawaiian Sun juice. They are made from water, fruit concentrates and cane sugar. Does have citric acid but its naturally flavored not artificial 😊

[@kauilanikim3312]

I love her but she's got a LOT of things wrong lol

[@Murkoph]

Gosh, it's all so cheap. Amazing. Even if they brought this to areas of the mainland with large Asian populations like Seattle, Portland, Duluth, etc, that'd be great.

[@HungerSymons]

how are you gonna say Duluth before the Bay Area D;

[@Murkoph]

@@HungerSymons I'm selfishly only listing areas I visit sometimes :D

[@UwU-lm9or]

Well cause Hawaii has been influenced into so many cultures because of the sugar plantations!

[@annlasky5765]

I was amazed how inexpensive the food was from her 7 eleven stash. I was in Maui almost 30 years ago and my husband and I were shocked by how expensive food was at the time. We ended up finding a Pizza Hut towards the end of our trip and could eat at the pizza and salad bar for very little money.

[@UrvineSpiegel]

7/11 bentos and musubi are what I miss most about living in Hawaii. There are a lot of great things in Hawaii, but being able to stop at any 7/11 at any hour and have a nice meal is what I miss most. Then I move over to the mainland. 7/11 out here selling hot dogs and burgers wasting away under a heat lamp... I really can't fathom why they haven't brought the bentos to the mainland.

[@TheAutumnGypsy]

Miss, miss, miss 7-11 on Hawaii. They were awesome! You're awesome. Enjoy the islands!!

That combo, a manapua WITH a passion orange. Plus time at the beach. THAT's where it's at. Love it

[@JojozaHannaHawaii]

I live in Hawaii, go to 7-11 about once a week on my way to work, and yet still watched in awe. Never tried the garlic chicken musubi but now I want to plus with your Hawaiian sun juice, it’s better if you shake it. 🌺🌺

[@collectingonthecheap56353]

I was digging that Mac and beef until you mentioned added sugar.

[@nenaj1]

Italians do this too. To kill the sour of the tomato sauce...they add a tiny bit of sugar. To balance it out. Other cultures over do it though.

[@collectingonthecheap56353]

Yes, I am Italian, and know about a hint of sugar, just that she means like more than the amount to neutralize acidity.

[@RoCkbunny769]

Sweet tomato sauce is common in Hawaii. Filipino culture has sweet spaghetti, so it’s partially influenced by that.
