The bread at 7-11 Japan looks like milk bread- of course it tastes Devine compared to regular “white bread”

[@jamie8065]

as an aussie i really never thought id see someone getting excited about 7 11 food. Its literally the last resort lmao

[@sonicchronic3223]

Sweet chilli sauce on a pie should be a criminal offence

[@My1es]

just shows you how much he lies about the food being good!

[@RnB4Music]

and you'd be right

[@kareninalabama]

Americans get excited about 7-Eleven food overseas because it's superior to what 7-Elevens typically offer here in the U.S. Just like McDonald's, one can only assume that 7-Eleven/Southland Corporation figures Americans aren't picky and will eat whatever swill they choose to sell, but customers in other countries have better palates and are more discriminating in their food choices. (Not to mention stricter food laws that often result in better product offerings.)

[@My1es]

@@kareninalabama but we don't have good food here in Australian 7-11

You should try a 7/11 in the outer suburbs. You can get a dried out pie and meet the local meth dealer in the carpark.

[@BasementBubbatunde]

Hes american mate, ours might be dodgy depending on what you get but its far better than theirs, let alone asia

[@truculentbelly]

i was also kinda baffled by the 7 11 review but by the end i actually really like the appreciation for food shown. it's not the greatest food but it's still food and deserves some appreciation and respect. it's still nourishing and accessible. obviously a lot of ppl eat it and find it appealing, that shouldn't be looked down on just bc there's better food.

[@janegirot1623]

Most Australians don't eat 7/11 unless you need a slushie

[@toxicmustardwasabi]

Melba is definitely the best buffet in Melbourne. Having said that, after living here for 20+ years, the buffet scene is super underwhelming compared to cities like Vegas, HK, Singapore, and South Korea. It's the reason I started watching Mike Chen in the first place, because he goes to buffets which are just spectacular compared to anything we have here.

[@annaliseung5103]

So excited to see you explore Australia!! When you come to Sydney, you have to go to the Epicurean Buffet in Barangaroo. Would love to see what hidden gems you find here in Sydney

[@rid1]

Im from melbourne, 7 11 is only an option at 4am at night when nothing else is open and you semi expect to get sick from it too

7 eleven in australia? Nobody goes there for food. It aint cheap either. Maybe for cheap coffee

[@MyH3ntaiGirl]

Not even that, 3$ for large cup It ain't even good coffee

[@Kaichongjee]

It's a last resort

Yeah coffee ☕ is cheap at 7/11 . The coffee is too bitter but that's my opinion .

For a bloke that eats as mich as he does I reckon he looks pretty damn tidy. Clearly he enjoys his food and I love that he shares that with us. Wouldn't be much entertainment watching someone with an eating disorder review a buffet 🤣

That buffet after the 7 eleven… the seafood section and the meat section…. I don’t know if I’ve ever been more jealous… who am I kidding, I’m always jealous of the things you eat

[@emradford5173]

So awesome to see you in our neck of the woods! As a Tasmanian living in Victoria, the opening made me hella excited!! Hope you enjoy our amazing country and food!

[@Invincible_Force]

@18:00 we have amazing pasta here as there are a lot of Italian migrants here from when they lost the last world war to us. They have been great additions to our country and refer to themselves as “wogs”. If you meet some be sure to recognise their accomplishments by saying “gday, how’s the day treating you my wog mate?”

[@gurok2]

Yeah, it's great to pick fights with the Italian migrants.

[@sarahmcbryde6914]

Muscle Chef meals are not exclusive to 7Eleven, thank goodness! They are available in loads of different supermarkets and even as a direct meal delivery service. Definitely rate them for taste!

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Mikey Chen in the house !! Welcome Down Under mate ! If you want good pies, avoid the big brands and go to family bakeries 👍 I hope you get to Adelaide for Seafood and the Barossa Valley for great Food & Wine 👍😁 Don't eat 7/11 food ! This isn't Japan/Korea/Taiwan ! LoL

[@rynXVII]

I really hope he sees this - i think Melbourne probably has better food then Adelaide tho

[@edwardfletcher7790]

@@rynXVII I've lived in both, Melbourne has 4 x as many restaurants because of size, but the quality is about the same, except very high end. Adelaide has better seafood esp Tuna because of fishing industry...

Welcome to Australia!!! Can’t wait to see you eat in Chinatown here, such amazing food

[@jsw5798]

Good to see you in Melbourne, been a huge fan of yours for years! With all due respect 7-11 food is absolutely trash here and overpriced, not even remotely comparable to the quality throughout Asia. I would suggest food from Woolworths Metro if you're looking for something close to decent convenience store level food. If you're still in Melbourne check out Glen Waverley, Clayton, Springvale and Box Hill for Asian cuisine, Box Hill especially has a lot of Xi'an restaurants. I see you're heading up to Sydney too, heaps of good Asian food there especially in the CBD around Haymarket area. If you visit the suburbs make sure to check out Burwood, Cabramatta, Strathfield, Eastwood and Chatswood there.

[@jharv58]

I’m doubting his palate after watching this. He’s loving the most basic things

[@Crosshill]

he's always liked the most basic things though, he could happily chow down on a surprisingly tasty burger king burger and then go for a wildly expensive 5 star burger full of truffles or whatever and say that it is very tasty but that he was expecting more for the price point

[@Eden-vm8sb]

simple and basic can still taste good lmao Its like a lot of italian dishes, orr sandwhiches, sushi, hell even ice creram

You got a problem with basic things? You act like basic foods can't taste delicious :/

Fluffy eggs dont have anything to do with the eggs itself...its how theyre prepared... scramble some water in with your eggs & cook them in butter while scraping them to the middle to let the remaining uncooked eggs cook.. repeat & super light & fluffy eggs!

[@volrathy1]

As an Australia I can confirm everything Mike Chen has said regarding 7/11 food is completely wrong :: Those microwave meals are trash :: Those traveller pies are complete garbage they aren't "rich" they are the worst pie you can get :: Those 7/11 sandwiches are HORRENDOUSLY bad :: Red Rock Deli chips are good :: Those cheesecakes are lower then mid At this point in time it makes me wonder if anything Mike reviews is true.

[@Desmond_Kumar]

not trying to question a native but Mikey has been to 7/11s all over the world. So I'd rather trust his opinion over yours.

[@-jfo-]

Most of the Aussie comments are missing the point. 711 and other convenience stores in many Asian countries have full fledged meals available for sale including tables to dine as well as equipment to heat up food. Mikey has tried a few of these. It makes a lot of sense given these places cater to many shift workers who may not have the time to prepare meals and can eat and go back home to sleep.
