As amused and amazed as we are about all the instant food at 7-11, the true blue unique and crazy items can only be found in Asia. 7-11 is basically the one-stop convenience shop we always make a stop at in every country; well, just to see what they have to offer.

We have had amazing Thai Basil Chicken Rice with Omelette in Thailand, and fragrant tea leaf eggs in Taiwan; there is just nothing to complain about, especially when it comes at a friendly price. Of course, our only gripe stems from the fact that most of these dishes contain preservatives.

Here are 5 Cool & Unique 7-11 Food From Around Asia To Try.

#1 JAPAN – ODEN

You have a higher chance of spotting this during winter. Oden is considered a winter dish as it is most commonly eaten during this period because of the comforting and warm soup. Oden usually consists of ingredient such as fish cakes, boiled eggs, vegetables and more.

Having it in 7-11 only adds to your convenience. Oden is also a great hangover food, don’t you agree?

Bulgogi generally means Korean-marinated meat and the Korean 7-11 stocks up on a lot of these tasty Korean snacks.
