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.

I love how Emmy is never fussy about whether or not a food is processed vs. all-natural or organic. She's up for anything. She loves food without being a snob about food. So refreshing!!

[@TattooedPink]

Yes! Shes so sweet too ♡

[@thomasmettham855]

​​@@crealkillr I think stussycat77 was more saying that most convenience stores here in the states don't carry anything near the quality of what Hawaiian ones do. I, myself, certainly am no stranger to buying something grab n' go from a convenience store. But, I do wish ours had such awesome stuff like these do and I wish it were better quality than it is.

[@jazmynnoliveira2784]

It’s so nice to have someone who appreciates our food rather than someone who tastes our “weird food” for entertainment and talks bad about it. For us who grew up in Hawaii, 7-11 is definitely a staple. It’s convenient, it’s everywhere and the food is really good for the cheap price. Hope you enjoy your vacation!

If we had that 7-11, I’d probably only cook on special occasions. 😁

That's kind of how it works for many people in Japan. Many of them eat from convenience stores, or just eat at restaurants.

[@fokiat]

IDK.. hawaiians are heavy just as we are here on the mainland lol Might wanna rethink that strategy

[@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. 😁

[@forme3h]

I remember my first time in the Mainland US and we were on the road driving for hours and wanted snacks. So I asked my cousin to stop by any 7-11 stores. So, we spotted one by the road, got in, I looked around their food selection. 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

[@TayaCmiller]

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.

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").

I personally have only ever bought my glasses at an actual optician - that way I can test the fit out first in store, get a better picture of how they look on me and have them shaped perfectly to my face (they can heat up the frame there to make minor adjustments and they can change the settings of the little pieces that with a lot of glasses sit directly on your nose - sadly: no idea what these are called in english). I've been wearing glasses for well over 20 years now and I never have the problem of them slipping - I only know that from sunglasses that haven't been fitted... I think, if you actually need glasses to see all the time, investing in good ones if at all in the budget is a good choice. I'm wearing a pair of glasses for 5-10 years 18 hours a day, so they are allowed to be a bit more pricey but well-fitting for that IMO. Admittedly though, if you change your glasses often (either because you're still growing or your eyesight is changing more quickly or for fashion-reasons), that is no longer true... ^_^ But maybe something to consider? Where I live, I can just walk into my optician's store and have them fix the fit of my glasses for free as often as I want to...

[@cheshirecatgrin7680]

I'm sure Emmy can afford an optician if she so chooses. For being a longtime glasses wearer, Jemima, I'm surprised you haven't experienced glasses slipping when you sweat. That only happens to me in summer or tropical places and that's why I wear contacts part time.

[@Jemima1377]

@@cheshirecatgrin7680 I'm sure she does. She might just like the sponsorship or the fashionable frames or just the possibility to switch between different glasses according to occasion... ^_^ (Or maybe she just doesn't mind the slipping.) Well, I can attest that - appart from unfitted sunglasses - my glasses never slip - no matter how much I move or sweat. I wear only frames that have those little kidney-shaped see-through bits right at the nosebed and if they are porperly shaped frames and those bits are adjusted perfectly, they don't slip. (When I get new glasses, sometimes in the first few days it happens until I go back and get them adjusted). I tried contacts too, but I'm too lazy for those - it takes me to long to get them in and out (maybe more practice would have helped, but after a couple of months it still took me too long for my liking - just grabbing a pair of glasses is hard to beat time wise ^_~) and the hassle is not for me. But I suppose if you do a lot of sports it would be much preferable with contacts. Also: another great solution against slipping glasses - contacts really don't go anywhere once they're in. =)

My favorite Hawaiian thing is Li Hing Mui. Sweet and salty. It's really good on fresh pineapple.

[@teamthoth]

Lydia Butler I miss it on gummy bears

[@kaulanakamakaala6582]

If there is a Chinatown market place close to where y'all live you should inquire if they have li hing mui powder. Or of course order it from Amazon😀

[@ravenstrife3586]

If your still in Oahu, I recommend boba cafe in ewa beach. They have some crazy bubble teas and toppings very popular with locals. Also need to go to seafood city for some Filipino food. If your in Honolulu try out ala Moana mall (shirokiya) they have tons of local Japanese food and best ramen as well. Definitely do a fan meet up to please 😊 love to meet you and eat some good food too😘

[@jamesglenn641]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@harrymiram5562]

Sadly, Shirokiya closed roughly 2.5 yrs.+ ago. At last report, AMC owners were in litigation w/Shirokiya owners. Sooooo SAD, after 50+ yrs(?)....GONE the way of the dinosaurs & the dodo.....POOOF!

Looks like Hawaii's 7 Eleven has better food than ours in the mainland. I'm full just watching and hearing the ingredients, lol!

OMG! I'M ALSO IN HAWAII! Imagine if I see Emmy 😂 I'd embarrass her. "OMG HI EMMY I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH I'M YOUR BIGGEST FAN!" But I'm sure she'd be ecstatic too.

Love watching you and your mom together.

Glad this video came up as I haven't seen it, yet. Love your recipes and these videos, too. I can tell how a food tastes from your face, sounds,, and great descriptions! Thanks Emmy!

[@daniellegroover4710]

Wow! Everything looked sooo good! And to be honest, the prices looked to be *very* reasonable. Most of those items seemed to be a much bigger bang for your buck than what I can get at our big gas stations that serve food around here. Some if it's not too bad... but sadly, no 7-11's in Alabama. Enjoy your trip, and hope you keep finding amazing foods to eat! 🤘

Love, love, love! I’m so glad you got a chance to partake in the 7-11 Hawaii experience, and it seems that it didn’t disappoint. The “appropriate” hot sauce to use with Hawaiian food is Hawaiian Chili Pepper Water. You can find it in most grocery stores and fish markets. Next time you are going to make a trip here, let it be known, so we can give you more recommendations. There an infinite amount of delicious places to eat. Love you and your channel! ❤️

Interesting. Hawaii is physically closer to California, but they definitely like the Asia-Pacific cuisine more, and honestly, I totally understand that. Most of that looks amazing.

It's because many Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Portuguese people migrated here to work on the plantation in the 1800s. And everyone sharing their culture with each other during this time brought all these great foods together along with it :)

I used to watch you way back in the day, around the time I graduated from high school and was looking to study abroad in Japan myself (2011) and I really loved your videos from when you were living there. :) Was nice to run into your channel again!

Guy living in Oahu here and as I guy who often goes to 7/11, because he’s low on money, I can guarantee the food there is pretty darn delicious. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Also btw about the Kalua Pork with hot sauce, I do that all the time, so it’s totally fine! It works well anyways.
