Eating Dinner at Singapore 7-Eleven

[@stevekiang]

Singaporeans don't usually buy the local meals at 711. The ones at the hawker centres, coffee shops or food courts are way better and fresher at similar prices. We only buy from 711 if it's after midnight and the others places nearby are closed..

[@Patroclus27]

Steve Kiang or if lunch rush is too overwhelming.

[@ainzooalgown7589]

the 711 next to my place close down since they didnt have enough customers since the store was open between 2 kopi tiam and a 50 store food court

[@poolfans]

Elder Lich 7-11 will not close down bcos of no customer. They have world wide outlet.

[@mcomayor]

Americans are quite disappointed in American 711's 😂

[@NecroBanana]

They closed down all 711s in Puerto Rico because people used to steal from them waaaaaaay too much and it just got too expensive to upkeep them. Sad.

[@tech83studio38]

Yes we are .

[@tech83studio38]

@@NecroBanana wow 😔

[@MaskedRiderChris]

That's putting it politely! I'm really looking forward to the 7-11s in Tokyo!

[@cutelesccutesicle628]

So are the Canadians

[@MisterUnconcerned]

Eating at 7-11 here in the US is more of a Trash Panda simulator than a culinary treat. You guys in Japan even get better selections at McDonald's than we do.

[@bobbicatton]

I sprinkle biryani seasoning on buttered popcorn. If you liked the buttered chicken you would probably enjoy it.

[@janleiner1575]

What a yummy collection of foods from 7-11! I so wish American 7-11 would have great food choices . Another place for my bucket list!

[@miked3168]

Jan Leiner don't break the laws over there, they will break you monetarily

[@keffinsg]

As a Singaporean, 711 food is a last resort for anyone. Hawker centres are so easily available, the only time people eat 711 food is like 3am in the morning, or in such a rush that he cant even wait 5 mins for hawker centre food. I personally dont know anyone here who eats 711 food

[@eu.p.5807]

I'm Singaporean and has eaten 711 a few times. Some of the food is unexpectedly delicious!

[@lisy04]

Well I do occasionally.I love the butter chicken biryani and the chicken rice is actually not too bad for me.But mostly going there to see what $1 drinks they have there lol

[@ixactan69]

Yes, IKR. Partly because the prices are usually significantly higher than supermarkets or those HDB area's shops. But to be fair, I think they have improved a little on the food selection in the recent years. The prices of the food featured in this video is fairy priced imo.

[@psonck]

This puts a shame too American convenience stores... lol... even the price throws America in the water...

[@TomoEriGoto]

They all look so delicious, I want to try them. I wish we had your 7/11s and they’re everywhere. I’d be there almost daily trying all the stuff. Love your videos, Shinici-San! Making me hungry one at a time.

[@DarkParacord]

Thank you Shinichi for the review for singapore’s 7-11! HAHA we are way behind japan, korea and taiwan but to each it’s own~ For me I would only go for them when all the shops but totally love the chicken rendang briyani for my dinner and late night supper! It’s the first time I saw a popiah in 7-11 so even I’m surprised as well! Can’t wait to give it a try in the near future!!

[@ixactan69]

As a Singaporean, I feel bad that I didn't even know 7-11 sells popiah. haha I think the local cuisine selection only started the recent few years, which is a good option when one is hungry in the night and there is no 24/7 coffeeshop in the area.

[@erinuber2881]

DarkParacord Hello! Just wanted to wave hello to you! I hope you are enjoying the weekend! :-)

[@T3103N]

So excited for new video, been binge watching luv you guys

[@nickandhelmi]

7-Eleven America same like Australia, quite disappointing.. We totally love 7-Eleven in Asia, so many varieties and taste wise is good too! Singapore 7-Eleven is up to the game too. :)

[@GamesWithSyd]

I need to see a TabiEats/StricklyDumpling colab!!!

[@tmmedia9600]

Omg yes I've been thinking about him the whole time I was watching this!

[@Lin_Zhou]

holy shit YES!!!!

[@DJ-tu9ky]

Everything you choose look delicious! I haven't really tried the 7/11 food in Singapore but I love their calamasi drinks. I always stay near china town so I'm close to all the hawker food courts.

[@esther848]

The food look very tasty indeed. I can almost tast it when you tell about the spicies😋. Thank you so much for sharing it.

[@LBenjamin]

Oh man, you can make me hungry even with 7-11 instant food. Really glad you like the food in Singapore.

[@ummuamir2005]

Greetings from Singapore! And oh my! I am a Singaporean and I haven't even tried any of the above food from 7-11 here. I only patronized 7-11 if my son wants a Slurpee. I usually cook Chicken Rice and Nasi Lemak. As for Briyani and Popiah, prefer to buy fresh-cooked/made. However after watching this, I feel like marching to the nearest 7-11 outlet to buy all those. FYI, the fish in the nasi lemak is fried anchovies. 😉

[@maricellimpin9668]

Japan’s 7/11 is the BEST by far🥰

[@phengov943]

Traditional Singapore dishes I would like to try. Looks very exotic, no Singaporean food where I live.

[@allywui4227]

Yup ikan bilis = anchovies..I'm hungry!!

[@erinuber2881]

Thanks for this video! It's always so much fun to see 7/11 foods from other countries. Some of these foods looked really delicious. I wish I could try the Hainanese chicken. That's the one that interested me this time. I hope you and Laurence will not make a trip to 7/11 when you are here in California...that would be sad when there are so many good things to do here. I used to visit 7/11 occasionally in college, but the only things I ever bought were a Sunday newspaper and sometimes a large diet soda! That is all. :-)

[@mindysmom6132]

Erin Uber......🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ Sister!!! You would love Hainanese chicken rice. There’s a place called “Side Chick,” that has delicious Hainanese chicken rice that I like to go to. I hope you can try some soon! Love you sister!! ❤️

[@erinuber2881]

@Mindy's Mom "Side Chick" sounds wonderful! I'm so glad you have such a great place to go. I'd love to try Hainanese chicken one day. It sounds really delicious. Hugs to you, sister!

[@eladrialskeksis]

I tried Nasi Lemak at a hawker's centre in Morley in Perth. It was awesome:) Loved it so much. There was more awesome malay stuff I want to try and even a new zealander food place.

[@dano4700]

I'm in Morley. Was it at Coventry Markets?

[@eladrialskeksis]

Dano why, yes. Yes it was:)

[@browngirl9746]

I live a 5 minute walk away from a 7-11, and in 25 years, I've NEVER bought any of these meals! I'm going today, to get the biryani, popiah and nasi lemak, because of you 😂

[@AmelieZh]

I swear all 7-11 in Asia are better than the North American one... and it originated in the US. What gives.. (I know it's basically Japanese now) they should try to revitalize it world wide

[@Jigglysaint]

The problem is the branding. Here in North America, we just don't expect 7-11 to have good quality food. They've tried adding things like pizza, chicken wings, meatballs and other stuff, but who is going to get gas station pizza if there are better options around?

[@AmelieZh]

Jigglysaint maybe it's the culture. But you are right..

[@DebsWombat]

Jigglysaint It's a shame, because their wings are really quite good - and surprisingly large!

[@miked3168]

Asians expect more from their food. Japan is a foodie nation

[@downagain6806]

I hv been to 7-11s around the world & I can say that Japan has the best 7-11 in the world in terms of ready-to-eat. Taiwan & Thailand follows closely behind. Those look delicious though

[@mindysmom6132]

Hi brother! The only time that I set foot into our local 7-Eleven, is to use the ATM for cash or to purchase a lottery ticket. LOL! Thanks for sharing your 7-Eleven food haul with us! Everything looked so good! Especially, the Hainanese chicken rice-which is one of my favorites. I love the garlic rice that our local place serves with it, and the sauce-YUM! Everything else that you ate, looked equally as delicious! I’m playing catch-up with your Singapore series, and loving what I see! Thank you! ♥️

[@RionIshida]

Very interesting! I am happy with Japanese 7-Eleven, but now I wanna have Singapore 7-Eleven in Japan. Sadly, The grass is always greener on the other side😂

[@Kguy548]

Yup the grass definitely appears greener there. I’m a Singaporean and have been to Japan a few times, and am always amazed at the variety of ready-to-eat meals in Family Mart, Lawson and 7-11 in Japan. Pity I can’t eat them all!

[@RionIshida]

@@Kguy548 it's true, even me who live in Japan can't eat them all ^^ haha Whenever I saw their Singapore videos, it makes me want to visit Singapore! Hopefully one day I can visit there, and enjoy variety of Singapore foods😆

[@debracantrell1058]

7-11 store haul awesome thanks for sharing this video with us 👍 yummie ❤️😘

[@PREPFORIT]

7-11 in ASIAN countries is Superior to North American Countries . Thanks for showing those amazing meals from the Singapore 7-11 !

[@purrfekt]

For the Nasi Lemak, if you mix the 'sauce' i.e. the sambal generously into the rice, the whole thing will taste amazing.

[@Freedomspy26]

the butter chicken is my goto for when im done clubbing :p good n quick snack when youre drunk n hungry xD Also.. Briyani is typically made with long grain basmati rice. ideally the rice grains are not broken. the reason why u see shorter grains is because the grains break apart. if gotten fresh and by a good cook, the grains wont break.

[@ironboy3245]

For us, taste is very important, which is why the food tends to be so good. Singaporeans are very particular about taste

[@karengibson3680]

Ironboy32 lol, I think most countries are particular about how their food tastes!

[@ironboy3245]

@@karengibson3680 singaporeans are particularly picky. And prone to complaining. Very prone to complaining

[@aniraz90s]

Honestly, the only cheap one is the butter chicken briyani because you can't get that price when you order a fresh chicken briyani. It's easily above $4.50 SGD but it's really good. For nasi lemak, there are many good ones around Singapore freshly made. Same as the chicken rice and popiah, freshly made is 10x better. :)

[@michellelenczewski8862]

I meant about the food we can get from our 7 eleven stores. Love your videos

I love these 7 eleven videos~

[@Levynite]

It's totally fine to eat nasi lemak with just your fingers, we do that in Malaysia although a fork and spoon does keep things less messy!

[@Christmas__365]

Yeah the ones in the US are not great at all. You really need to find the “gems” which even I haven’t found yet haha Glad to know I can grab a bite to eat at a local 7/11 in Singapore! I have already done this in Japan on a late when I missed the last train 😅 Based on your descriptions/reactions, maybe the Biryani and Nasi Lemak

[@dxp4046]

late to the party i just watched the grilled cheese rice bun video. i had a thought. rahter than corn starch to bind it, has anyone tried using a glutinous rice and making thai style sticky rice that sticks and binds together without a binding agent added for those who dont like corn starch? im going to try this was just curious if any had tried it out

[@karengibson3680]

Shinichi, the aromatic rice you were eating is called Basmati rice. It's eaten in the Middle East, also. It is delicious!

[@zoeb6778]

Made me SO Hungry!! Miss food from S'pore!

[@Scriptor13]

I would have wanted to choose all the same things you did, Shinichi! Did they have many vegetarian options? Too bad our American 7-11s don't go international, and also improve the overall quality of their food.

[@TabiEats]

They didn’t have many vegetarian options as far as I know. Next time I visit I will make sure to check.

7-11 butter chicken briyani rice is my fav among all

[@phengov943]

You are lucky in NZ our convenience store similar to America or Britain in terms of food, not like Japan or other Asian countries.

[@purrfekt]

The selection is better in Japan, especially the food section but the Singapore ones are upgrading to be more like Japan. Some of them even have seats and charging stations.

[@EdricHsu]

Glad you liked these! I usually only buy these after midnight when the food shops are closed, but they are indeed pretty tasty, and not too expensive. Some folks here still enjoy eating Nasi Lemak with their fingers too, which work much better than the plastic utensils. My favourite is the Nasi Briyani with Butter Chicken. Sedap!

[@pamela7300]

Yes, yes, American 7-Eleven is 🙄. That Briyani looks great! Japan probably has the best! I miss Japan!! Great video!✌🏼❤️✌🏼❤️

[@MsRwong]

Anchovies - little smelt-like fish. The briyani rice is made with bismati rice.

[@bettyG101]

Ooh the butter chicken looked so good!

[@charmich3627]

That Birianya rice looked like a combo of Jasmine and bismati rice...this is making me so hungry!! If ever you get a chance to go back, i think it would be awesome ...just have to wait till all this covid passes :) :) thank you for the video :) :)

[@ikabikaboo]

Sheetz is probably the best US convenience store for food, but they are not very widespread yet.

[@bettyboop7426]

Asian 7/11's rule, to be fair ours is more about getting petrol&grabbing snacks. Ah Nasi Lemak, the fave dish in Malaysia, you would go bonkers in Malaysia if you have not been yet. Your happy food noise may get your neighbours suspicious. Thanks Shinichi

[@deadspace1]

Try other good location in Singapore like geylang serai and little India the food there will blow your mind

[@zombiecrusher1100]

That food looks so yummy!

[@geno5360]

That food looks absolutely delicious! Thank you for sharing! I wonder if that Western Pasta you mentioned is even remotely decent tasting. When you say the rice was cooked in coconut milk do you mean water with a splash of coconut milk? In my head cooking it in straight up coconut milk makes me think it would look more like creamy rice pudding (Which isn't a bad thing... I absolutely love homemade rice pudding!!)

[@MEmimi]

More process coconut milk not pure natural coconut milk

[@beaut-ful-d-saster]

You should try coming to Canada sometime and see if our 7-11s are any better than the ones in the states. [At least in my city, I really like 7-11 food...]

[@samanthamuzquiz3541]

[@heathermegdell8897]

My mother’s side of the family are Trinidadian. We eat the fluffy rice you had with the butter chicken. It is basmati rice. That’s the type of rice, not the brand. I enjoyed your video and am jealous that Canada doesn’t have better convenience store food. Fast food chains are usually attached or in the convenience store here.

[@ixactan69]

Hi Shinichi-san. When I see the title of this video, I was going OMG why did you go to the convenient shop for dinner?! This is because many foreigners whose first visit to Singapore and get their food/beverage at the 7-11 will get a shock why are the stuff so expensive, and they will have the perception that cost of living in Singapore is very high. I remember going to conbini in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong or most other Asian countries, and the prices are more reasonable. Anyway, you have picked a good selection of food; Chinese (Hainanese chicken rice and popiah), Indian (Butter Chicken with Briyani), and Malay (Nasi Lemak). This also nicely represent the racial diversity in Singapore. Actually, the items you picked are quite reasonably priced, not the cheapest one can find at the hawker centre, but its definitely not the most expensive too. Lastly, welcome to Singapore, and hope you have enjoyed your stay here and come back again. :)

[@ixactan69]

Adding on. I believe you have done much homework in Singapore. You know sambal and ikan bilis, which non locals (or even some locals!) will simply call them chili and anchovies. This is why I like your youtube channel alot, because you guys work hard to provide accurate information even in foreign land. :)
