7-Eleven food in BKK


I've been back in Bangkok for a month now, and to be honest, I think there hasn't been any single day I didn't visit 7-Eleven!  7-Eleven is so everywhere here now - even by my house there're 5 7-Elevens in the 5-min walk distance, how crazy...


Anyway, I also found out that there're so many types of grab-n-go food in 7-11, and I've been good at trying them (not all yet but on my way there).  Having their slogan in Thai which translates to "Drop by whenever you're hungry", I think they do a pretty decent job in gathering all sort of local Thai snacks to grab and go.  The fact that they open 24 hrs is such a big plus as well.


Milk section, lowfat, nonfat, or yogurt milk can be found here


Snack section, Lay's is the primary brand now even in BKK


Cup noodles, cheap and filling (for those non-lowcarb) Mama is the leading brand


I'm not much a big fan of 7-Eleven's bakery

  

Drink section, there're interesting stuff like Beauty drinks, etc lol



Here's my fav section, the food

Pork balls, I think they're great!  22bht a bag (~0.75USD). There are two types too, the normal porkball and the porkball with tendon.  I personally like the tendon one. 


Sausages and smoked chicken wings.  The wings are goood


Japanese Gyoza by Oishi (FYI Oishi is a big Japanese buffet chain in Thailand)  I heard this is good but still havent tried it myself


Rice/noodle box.  Not bad


I think this is cool, sticky rice with Thai bbq pork (right) and sticky rice with Larb pork (Thai mint salad).  You get the feel of burger in a Thai style


Cake sandwich.  The bread is kinda cakish.  I like the one with sausages on the right.


Thai pork sausage.  7-Eleven has a very good Thai pork sausage (similar to the Vietnamese one) I super like this, although a bit pricey considering the small size (17bht, or 0.55 USD)


They usually have the rice/noodle box here, but now there's the Chinese vegetarian festival, so the fridge is packed with vegetarian food.  Prices are around 25-40 Bht



They also have these sausage varieties you can order.  Just tell them and they will get them out from the fridge and heat it up for you.  One good thing about Thai sausage is that it's not as fatty as the American or European one, though a bit more carby  lol.

They'll heat the hot food up for you, like this one she's heating up the cake sandwich for me


Sticky rice with Larb pork


Porkballs with tendon


Sausage cake sandwich



Porkballs come with sweet spicy and sour sauce (known as Thai chicken sauce)

Hope you guys enjoy food at 7-Eleven in Bkk when visiting too, convenient, cheap and taste pretty good :-)
