7-Eleven Food in Hawaii is Awesome 

Happy couple enjoying. Love it. Thanks

Hi! The pork and peas dish is called guisantes (ghee-SAHN-tess), which is Spanish for “peas”. The dish is a comfort food that Filipino moms would cook up when they had hardly any time to cook. Glad you enjoyed it!

The way Sinichi pronounced "adobo" is just perfect. My Nanay (mother) loves your videos. Thanks guys.

Tabi eats food review ALWAYS amazes me. Your videos are so clear and clean idk if it’s scripted or not but it’s ALWAYS on point and clear . I never miss watching your videos to me it’s so infectious! I love love love watching Tabi eats!

That pork adobo with fried rice is my go-to. I can eat it anytime of the day.

I love how satoshi loves the filipino dishes

The pork and peas dish is a Filipino version of Menudo. It's a pork stew in a tomato sauce with potatoes, carrots, green peas, bell pepper and sometimes with raisins. Tho raisin are controversial kinda like pineapple in a pizza. Either you love it or hate it. 😄 But Filipino Menudo is soo good.

Dim Sum, Onigiri, Spam Musubi, and Saimin Noodle, among other foods offered at 7-Eleven stores in Hawaii, come from a factory in Waipahu, owned/operated by Warabeya USA, which is a direct subsidiary of Warabeya Nichiyo Holdings in Japan （わらべや日洋ホールディングス 12% owned by 7-Eleven Japan). Probably that'll explain why the food at 7-Eleven Hawaii tastes much better than other similar retail stores. Warabeya USA also runs a bento restaurant chain called Mamaya in O'ahu.

Glad to see you guys back in Hawaii. Big fan of your videos & other channels. Your Hawaii food reviews makes me miss home.

One hallmark of Phillipino cuisine is that there is always a sour component, which is via vinegar in the adobo you had. Pork and Peas is a local staple comfort food. It is very easy to make and relatively cheap as well which helps with the cost of living in Hawaii. When you make Kalua Pork at home (I use a crock pot) add a little Liquid Smoke: Mesquite flavor to get that smokiness. Just be careful. A few drops will be plenty until you find the perfect amount for your taste. It is very easy to go overboard. One bottle will last a very long time but very worth it.

OMG! Always so happy to see your videos. And I wish 7-11 mainland would do better. So glad you both got to visit family. Take care

I discovered Hawaii 7-11 food a few years ago. I have yet to find anything that is bad! Reasonably priced, too! Not as good as the Japan 7-11 food, but pretty good considering it's convenience store food!

You guys should definitely try freshly made empanadas:)

You guys should try Lexington (North Carolina) BBQ. Pork with a vinegar based sauce. First pork is BBQ! and the vinegar sauce compliments the whole thing to a T.

The guy in the white shirt is so cute and attractive. Love watching you guys and just listening to what you guys say ❤️

Thankfully, I was having lunch while watching this so my tummy wasn't rumbling. Waiting for any desserts.

I love FamilyMart in Japan. If I ever go to Hawaii, I will be eating at 7-11. Looks yummy and a good price. You guys are so fun. I love your shows. Perfect entertainment.

I really wish the 7eleven in the mainland would have the same quality and variety as the one in Hawaii.

Everything looks really good. Especially that pork adobo.

This was a new food review, that was completed at your patio place.

Y'all being from Tokyo, where 7-11 is King of Combini Stores, and liking the food as much as you did in this video bodes well for my upcoming visit to Honolulu in the fall. I was all about 7-11 while I was in Tokyo, and if I have a fridge in my hotel room (I should), there will be stuff from 7-11 in there to help me save a few bucks while out there.

It's the first time I see someone eat empanadas with chopsticks

It's kinda like a blend of American and Japanese 7-Eleven... fascinating! In Australia the most we get at our 7-Elevens are meat pies, sandwiches and the occasional onigiri.

Oh, this is pretty cool!

You guys are so cute and I love all of your food reactions 😍

Love you guys! Your video’s are awesome! We came back to Oahu last January after an absence of 28 years! We were able to frequent Hawaii a lot more when we had airline benefits! Lol we’re going back in a couple weeks and looking forward to trying a lot of the budget places you guys try! I’m curious to try Lawson convenience store in Waikiki for their food selection. Years ago my friend and I would go to the Lawson stores in Tokyo where their selections were very good!

Such a great reaction gentlemen. These were an amazing selection from 7/11 I couldn't fault one. I am really looking forward to your return to Hawaii in September to try more great food . Thanks for the amazing review Shinichi and Satoshi. 🌺

I usually go to ABC in Hawaii. I’ll try 7 eleven. Thanks.

Ughh people in Hawaii are so lucky. Why can’t the rest of the US have 7-eleven like this? :(

You missed the best one... the somen salad from 7-11 hawaii is he best. It is my favorite.

Thanks for sharing! The food looked delish!✨ Sending good vibes!

Finally able to catch up on some videos :) Would love to try the inari sushi. And shumai with jalapeno??? sounds so good! I really miss a convenient store. we don't have anything like 7/11 here in the Netherlands.

Spam musubi was invented in the late 1970s in Kauai by a local Japanese woman. Adobo has few ingredients: peppercorns, garlic, shoyu, vinegar, dry bay leaves - that's it. Pork guisantes in some versions include patis (fish sauce).

I love the mmm. Mmmm. Mmmm. Make me hungry!

I subscribed, great video. When I went to Oahu, we didn't go to 7-11 but the Costco had some good poke.

Pork and peas is called gisantes. Delish. One of my favorites with lumpia and pancit. Yum! 😋

Black peppercorns go into adobo. That could be what you’re tasting

U got them all right

Hi! The pork and peas dish is called Pork Gisantis (ghee-sahn-tis). Love you guys!

8 from them and 22 from u - u know every single detail about me.

Pork & Peas is called Pork Gisantes.

The teriyaki spam musubi is really good, they have that kind at the Hawaiian Bros place here

I haven't tried the Udon dish so I need to go to try it later this week. I tried the Butter Mochi Slurpee (yes) the other day!

Really enjoying this review. Just what i was looking for. Family was gonna go to hawaii this month but we cancelled in the end. Living vicariously through you both. :) Thank you

It's so nice to be able to stay with mom while in Hawaii, save lots of money. If you are in Honolulu, please visit Alicia's Market. Wished the 7/11 are like this in the states.

Ah I loved this, and I adore the two of you!💕💕💕💕👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨✨✨✨✨

Nice video, brings back memories. Sad to hear that Char Hung Sut closed down, best pork hash ever. If you guys are ever in Thailand drop me a line, would be nice to sit and visit with other ex-islanders.

Hawaii 7/11 has much better choices than in the mainland for sure! Too bad there’s not one conveniently located near where I usually stay in Hawaii!

I think the pork and peas is called gisantes

Pork gisantis another name for pork and peas

おいしい😋🍴💕❗

Oh boy the manapua looks delicious 😋

Hi guys, this was another great food video, I love spam masubi, and I know how to make it, I make the fried one and the teriyaki one. I loved all of the food you got from the 7-Eleven, and really would like to try them when I visit Hawaii. I think that dessert would be one of my favorites as well. It is always so great to see your food tasting videos, and so awesome that you were in Hawaii and could try these from 7-Eleven. I am looking forward to seeing your sister and mama. Have a great time, love you both, sending much love and hugs, bye for now.😄💜

Thanks for showing us the awesome food at 7-Eleven Hawaii. I am so jealous because Hawaii's 7-Eleven is so much better than the mainland USA lol lots of delicious bentos!

14:07 I think the soup broth is in gelatin form at the bottom of the bowl. That's why it looks like there is no liquid in the container until you warm it up. Or is their powdered soup-base in the bottom and you pour water into the container and warm it up? 🙂

Ohhhhhh, my mouth is watering over the manapua, kalua pork, and the inari sushi! SO nostalgic for me. This was a great deal of fun with a wonderful selection of foods. Fabulous for vicarious enjoyment. 😊 When you go back to Hawaii in September, maybe you can do a 7-11 Food Tasting Part 2! I've said it before, I'll say it again--you are two uplifting men who are beautiful inside and out. From my vantage point, you just keep getting better and better, individually and as a couple. So much aloha coming your way. ❤️❤️🌺

The prices are soooo good as well. Great value. Looked amazing.

Nice to have you back in Hawaii. How are the quarantine requirements when you go back to Japan? Taquitos and regular spam musubi are my go tos at 7-11. Just one question. Everytime I try to make spam musubi at home my nori turns to mush. Do you have suggestions so it comes out like 7-11?

7-Eleven clearly has no love for us in So Cal because their food here is just plain pitiful compared to 7-Eleven food in Hawaii. Hawaii has yummy bento and Spam musubi. We get wrinkly heat lamp hot dogs rolling in a display case.

I like the spicy shrimp katsu roll and chicken musubi. You guys are making the 7-11 in Hawaii a tourist attraction. 😆

Wish there was a 7-11 like that here in Washington 😃🤙🏽…

Tastes test yummie hey guys looking good enjoy your 7-11treats stay safe take care 😘😘❤️👍🥰🤩😍🥰

Wow, I haven't had food from a 7-11 since junior high. Those look wonderful.

I love 7-Eleven's Japanese food section. That is one of the things I miss about Hawaii.

Is there a 7.11 in Waikiki for tourists living in the hotels

Greetings!!! Everything looks delicious! Watching this vlog has made me hungry. I wish I could just sample a bit as you go...ha-ha. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Shinchan and Satoshi!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE ALL of your videos!! You are GREAT goodwill ambassadors spreading warmth and aloha no matter where you go. World wide...not just in Hawaii Japan!! 2 quicknotes...pork and peas is usually a Filipino fish called pork gisantes (ghee sahn tes). Tip 2: in the "olden days" kahlua pork/pig was smoked underground, in an imu. But since we don't all have imuss in our back yards to roast pigs, we use Wrights liquid smoke mixed in with shredded braised pork shoulder roast. So much simpler!! It's not the "real" thing, but close enough!! And Satoshi can have his Kailua pork and cabbage in japan!! I hope that this helps...🥰 I'm SO looking forward to more videos from the both of you!! Much aloha!!

I love this review, thank you for sharing! I miss buying food from the 7-Eleven in Japan. Is it wrong to want to go to Hawaii just to eat? 🤔😉😊

I'm shocked that you can eat food from a 7-eleven. It never occurred to me to try their food here in Australia. And I still can't. What if somebody I know saw me!

not sure about the udon but the saimin had a strong anice(licorice) flavor when I tried it last. It tasted like traditional Saimin broth with a log of Anice put in.

So good you guys! We dont eat too much 7-Eleven food unless we are in Japan, 😂 ! But you folks make all the food look good! I do like the pork hash and manapua there and there is a small salmon bento/bowl there and that’s really good! Theres so much good variety at 7-Eleven now. I remember when it was just hot dog, nachos w/ chili and cheese and you could add round onions, jalapeño, or heat up the frozen burrito oh and a super big gulp or slurpee! Now they are trying to make it like Japan’s variety I think and I think they are doing a good job! Mahalo! In Japan we can eat 7-Eleven all the time LOL! Ja mata 👋 aloha 🤙🏽😁

That empanada is probably the same as a taquito here on the mainland but just made in a different shape and rebadged with maybe a couple of minor tweaks to the ingredients. It also being made by El Monterey? Hmmm...haha!

The first time I had the pork hash, the color wasn't very appealing but the taste is pretty good! If they gave out some chili oil with that, it'll be complete!

Wow Shinichi And Satoshi These Very Yummy Foods Looks So Amazing It's Wonderful Thank You So Much For Showing Me This Incredible Video My Fellow RU-vidr Friends Bless You Guys. 👍👍😎

The selectiin looks great at the Hawaii 7-11! I loved the Thai options in the Thailand 7-11's my top5 favourite was also the Japanese Onigiri.

You got to check out 7-Eleven in Korea and Japan…so amazing. Yes, 7-Eleven in Hawaii is so much better than the rest of the other states.

As always, i enjoyed your video guys😊. I'm glad you both like our (Filipino) dishes, adobo and yes, the peas (menudo). Hope someday you do a food review video on eating Filipino dishes too😊

Aloha 🤙

Kalua pork is traditionally cooked/smoked underground so some smoke flavor is normal. Good choices. Hope you were able to try other manapua. If not, try next time in September!

7/11 Hawaii food choices are getting better 😉 I love their Inari Sushi with Ahi Poke on top as well as from Times Beretania 🤤👍

I love Spam! I would be in trouble if I was in Honolulu, I would eat so much Spam.😋 I have a recipe for a slow cooker Kalua pork and cabbage. Now I'm craving it. Guess I know what's for dinner tomorrow night.😁

The prices are lower than they are here on the Big Island!

Empanada is mexican meat/vegetable turnover/pie.

I would have liked to know the prices of the items, like you do with your Japanese videos.

The pork and peas dish is called pork guisantes by Filipinos. I'm surprised you guys didn't get the spam KATSU musubi. A slice of spam, coated in panko and deep fried! I'm sure it's not good for your heart but hey, once in a while....

Love your videos - does your mom live in Hawaii too? - I lived in France for 13 yrs, and I did become a French national, I’d love to do videos on French food and culture -

The pork and peas dish is called pork gisantis in Filipino.

Hi boys! I could definitely do shoyu tuna makizushi. I still can’t bring myself to try tuna mayo onigiri that everyone around me, always talks about. ☺️ I loved both of your reactions to the Jalapeño pork hash shumai……Definitely something I would like. Oh, and the manapua and everything else you both tried looked so good! King’s Hawaiian down in the South Bay, has a chocolate haupia tart, that is my go-to dessert, every time we go. Thank you for sharing your 7-Eleven finds. I wish we had decent food(s) at our 7-Eleven!!

Living in the mainland I always miss home.. Hawaii my home.. plus I’m used to how Local Japanese and Chinese food taste in Hawaii taste😅 like kauyuk I can’t get out here in the mainland

Good choices. Everything you ate looks delicious. The dessert is especially good. You should try more spam musubis next time. I am surprised that Satoshi liked the pork hash with Jalapeno. I thought he does not spicy food. Thanks Shinichi and Satoshi.

I have known the pork and pea dish as pork guisado, similar to the mexican guisados. one of my favorite filipino dishes. 7-11ʻs in Hawaii are the best.

You grew up in Hawaii snd you neva had pork and peas?

Nothing like this at the 7-Eleven on the mainland....😞

I've been to Hawaii so many times and am kicking myself. It never occurred to me to check in a 7-11! Would you say the cost for these bentos and such were reasonable? We were always searching for more inexpensive lunch options.

We call it PORK GUISANTES....PORK AND PEAS

I am pretty sure the Ubae brand has a haupia/ube version of that dessert. If so hope you tried it. I go there almost daily and forget what they have sometimes. I do know they make Ube cookies for sure. Aloha

My favorite empanada is goat cheese and corn!

not sure if the pork and peas is afritada or menudo. fun fact: we have a bit of a tomato sauce based stews conundrum here since most of them look the same. Afritada, ideally, should have the the meats browned first (from 'frito') and normally has peas in it. Menudo, from 'minute', should have ingredients chopped in very small pieces. It is quite different from the flavor profile of Mexican menudo that uses cumin if I believe. kaldereta uses liver spread as a thickener and flavor enhancer (in my province in Batangas, kaldereta is soy sauce based, a bit sweet and savory. some even add peanut butter like a satay) and mechado, from mecha or mitsa, ideally uses thick slabs of beef parts that are normally not the prime cuts. Since they are tougher, a strip of pork or beef fat is inserted (mitsa) so that when it is stewed, it remains soft and flavorful. Nowadays, Mechado uses beef cubes regardless of the part where it is from, but essentially still stewed for a long time.

Manapua 😍😍😍😍

Empanadas are originally from Spain and Portugal but are often also called Mexican 😁 Love all of the foods here, such a nice range of fresh food in Hawaii 7 Elevens!
