Eating only convenience store food in hong kong for 24 hours

I am in Hong Kong at the moment, which is very exciting. I am loving this trip so far. I feel like Hong Kong has so much to offer. You get like all the authentic cultural side, all the nature, and you also have all the modern side, and you also have convenience stores. I feel like the convenience stores on this side of the world is like so different from the UK. When you go to Asian countries like Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, going to the convenience store is like a really cool experience because the food is actually really good. So I'm just getting ready to head out for the day. And I thought we could do a classic 24-hour food challenge video where I explore all the different convenience stores. Let's go have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, trying out all the different convenience stores in Hong Kong. I'm quite excited to see all the different options. What do they have for breakfast? What are the options? Let's go check out the convenience stores in Hong Kong and try their food for 24 hours. First up is breakfast. I have found a convenience store. It's called Circle K. I think this is one of the most popular convenience stores they have here. So let's go check it out. I will say it's quite nice being in a refrigerated AC room right now. God, they have so many interesting things. This all looks so different. Get soft-boiled eggs ready to eat. I'm just picking up the most random things that I'm seeing based on packaging. Picked up milk or drink. I don't know what it is, to be honest. And boiled eggs. That's my breakfast so far. Let's get a basket so I can think this through. Oh, they have bread. Oh, the bread looks good. Okay, I've come across the pastries. I think maybe I should start over with the pastries. This is a soft steamed cake. I do like that the bakery goods here are much more soft and fluffy. I think that's more to my liking. This is a chocolate marble one. That looks really soft and fluffy. I wanna get that. So this is called pretzel toast. It just comes in a cube. And I just think that's so fun. That feels like a good breakfast thing so I might get this for breakfast too. One thing I've noticed they do here, which I think is so cute and fun, is they have these sandwiches where they cut the crust out and it's all like squished together. So this is sweet milk and peanut butter flavor. Maybe I'll get one of these too. This brand is really popular. We do have them in the UK, but I've never tried them. This is like iced tea, I believe. And I think this is like soy milk. Maybe I'll try that for lunch later. We have some ramen here, but I'm gonna save that for lunch. Another cool thing they have here is cups filled with ice that you can add drinks to. So maybe I'll get one of these to cool me down. And these are the pouches of drinks. This one looks nice. These are my breakfast goodies. I've got way too much. The thing is, I'm not even that hungry. I'm just excited. They have so many cool options. One thing I will say, I think they're pretty chill with filming around here. People kind of just leave you to it. I'm gonna pay and then we can eat. Let's go. That came to £6.77, which is crazy that I got all this stuff for less than £7. That's insane. And it's so clean here. London is so not clean in comparison. I think the first one I wanna try is the mango papaya low-fat milk drink, just because I'm thirsty. I don't know how to open it. It says you gotta open it by pulling up like this. Wish me luck, because I don't want to spill anything anywhere. And somehow you're able to. I don't know, guys. I think I've opened it. Oh my God, that's so nice. That is so sweet and creamy. Oh, the mango is so nice. Such a great way to start the day. I will say the food here is so good. Everything I've had here has tasted incredible. When I was in South Korea, I was really obsessed with the banana milk. I feel like this is my equivalent. I really like it. Next thing I'm gonna do is try the little pouch sandwich, because it's just so stinking cute. Can you tell I'm a sucker for packaging? It's called the UFO Pocket. How cute. This is sweet milk and peanut butter flavor. Not sure what sweet milk is, but we're about to find out. Mm, that's so soft. I really like the peanut butter. Oh my God, the food here is so good. It's sweet peanut butter, basically. It doesn't taste like milk at all. And it's got bits of peanut. It's a bit crunchy too. Oh, that is so nice. This feels more like a sweet treat than a sandwich. Can you see the peanut butter oozing out? It's very creamy. Next is the soft steamed cake. Gosh, this packing is hard. Oh my God, I actually can't open it. I almost want to ask someone. Excuse, can you help me open this one? Thank you so much. Ask for help from the... They got a scissor. You have to cut it. This one is too thick. Use your fingernail. Thank you so much. Thank you. Tiny little... Oh my God, I didn't realize it had a heart. That's what I should give to the lady. She was very kind. So yeah, we have a soft, fluffy steamed cake. Oh my God. It's like eating a cloud. Very light, very fluffy. I don't think I've had something this light and fluffy before. It's sweet, but not too sweet. It's like light sweet. It's perfect. Texture, flavors, vibes. Guys, I think I'm thriving out here. I'm very happy. I want to eat the soft-boiled eggs, but I'm kind of nervous because how am I going to carry it back when I'm done? I'll eat this later. Breakfast has been a massive success. Oh, I'm having a great time. I really like the public transport in Hong Kong. It's very easy to figure out, very efficient. Everything runs on time. It's air conditioned, which I really appreciate. And it just feels really safe, especially when you're traveling on your own. I'm going to this area called Jordan. I think it's a very cool hipster area in Hong Kong. There's so many shops on the high street. It's just nice seeing all the similarities and differences on the other side of the world. A really cool area. That was my first time taking the bus all by myself. I feel like a big girl. I've come to a very popular place, so much happening, but I'm here for 7-Eleven. And this one's a big one. And it's particularly cool because it's a 7-Eleven cafe where you can sit in and eat. And again, it looks so clean. So let's go in. This one's nice. It's got a full on cafe. You can cook food here. I need to figure out how to do that. I think that's for the ramen. We're definitely going to get ramen. They have a slurping machine. They have a whole bakery. Oh, wow. You can get so much stuff here. They have a whole breakfast menu. Stop it. $27, that's £2.70, guys, for that. That's insane. Got sandwiches, drinks. I feel like I've come to 7-Eleven heaven. I need to figure out how to make the ramen. I lost someone how to make the ramen. I've come to a snack section, but I feel like because this one has a cafe, I might just get the hot food because I can get this at another 7-Eleven. It's funny to see snacks we see at home. I don't know why. I might get ramen just because I want to test out the ramen-making machine. When in Hong Kong, 7-Eleven, why not do that? And then get some snacks from the hot section. So we're watching ramen. They do have the kimchi one, too. Skip all of that, actually. I want to get the spicy one. I'm going to get the matcha cake, I think. This is very popular here, I think, so I'll get one of these. I don't want to go crazy with too many options because I won't eat everything. These are Hong Kong-style drinks, so I think I'm going to get one of these. I might get the lemon tea. I'm going to get five fishballs with curry sauce. Hello, do I order here and pay there? Okay, cool. Thank you. Oh, I come back after I pay. Hi, do I order here and then get it there afterwards? Can I get the fishballs and the lemon tea iced, please? Can I get these as well? Thank you. Yeah, may I ask what is that accent? Oh, I'm from London, UK. Oh, yeah. Amazing. Your accent is just very good. Well, I was born and raised in, it's actually not a London accent, I'm from Wales, but it's like right next to England. But thank you, I appreciate that. And for the ramen, I just put it in the machine, the hot water will come automatically. How does it work? I think this button, we just press it. Okay, cool. Thank you so much. Hello, this one? Thank you. This is definitely something very different and new. You will never see fishballs as an option in a convenience store in the UK. So this is really interesting, very different. I'm not sure what to expect, but it's clearly very popular here, so I'm gonna give it a try. I've got the fishballs, oh, which I'm gonna fall over with. I think it's with curry sauce, but it's not good. It's not really good, actually. Mm, that's really good. The sauce is so nice. That is way better than what I was expecting. I'm really happy with that one. I am now going to make my ramen. I've gone for the spicy one, typical. I'm curious to know if this is more spicy in Hong Kong compared to the UK ones. I've been kindly given a fork because I don't have these chopsticks. So I've opened it up and it's got two packets. I'm just gonna leave it to soak in the hot water for a bit. Good thing I lost it already. I just lost my fork, that's so difficult. Luckily they have tissues and forks nearby. That's actually very helpful. Let's clean this mess up. Wow. When I hear lemon tea in the UK, we think of the sugary, like, Lipton. Here, it's literally tea with lemon in it. There's no sugar. It's nice, it's refreshing and a bit bitter. It also has the soy milk. I've never tried soy milk before. Soy milk is very popular around here. Oh. It literally tastes like what you think. It tastes like beany milk. That's so surprising that this is what's popular here. You do find it interesting what flavours are popular in different parts of the world. I don't think things are as sweet here. Yeah, it's just really beany. It's just beany milk. That's wild that that's what's so popular here. All right, let's see how my ramen's doing. Let me open it. Uh-oh, this might be hard to eat. This is spicy. Mm. Ramen is incredible. I'm gonna put some of the fish balls in it. Extra flavour. This is not the easiest thing to eat. Can't do it. And the final thing I wanna try is this matcha and red bean cream cake. I feel like that's very popular here, these kind of flavours. Ooh. It's a very interesting smell. It looks like this. Does not smell sweet. Oh, it's so soft. It's got cream on the inside. Ooh, I like it. The matcha flavour is strong, but it's nice and it's still sweet. I didn't think it would be as sweet as it is. These are definitely interesting flavours, not flavours you would get in British dessert. I feel like in recent years, my taste palette has evolved a lot, so these flavours aren't as new and different anymore. I was gonna say strange, but strange sounds insensitive. If you don't grow up with these kind of flavours, they won't taste strange to you. Because I've been eating so many different kinds of cuisines now, they don't taste as strange. It's actually quite nice. I'm glad I tried that out because I didn't think I would like it as much as I do. Let's try the red bean part. I just can't get into red bean. I've tried it so many times. I just don't think it's for me. You know what? I am getting used to the more bitter lemon tea. At first, it was like I was missing sugar, but now it's all right. It blows my mind that this is the kind of level of food you'd get at a convenience store. You can get hot food, you can make ramen, you can get fish balls, sandwiches, desserts. You're like absolutely spoiled and it's a convenience store. What the hell? And the quality of the food and the taste is insane. I really like the fish balls. Really nice. I'm stuffed. I feel like I've eaten a lot today. I've had a great time at this convenience store. 7-Eleven for the win. I think my plan for dinner is to get some few bits from here because this is like a really good convenience store and then have that for dinner in the hotel. I popped into one more convenience store on the way home. This is actually the 7-Eleven that's in the mall that I'm staying in. Yes, guys, that's correct. I'm currently living in a mall. Wild. Only in Hong Kong. So I grabbed some bits for dinner. I will be honest, this was a much smaller 7-Eleven so didn't have as many options as I thought. Still had a lot of good stuff. Lots of interesting bits. So let's have dinner. So I got myself a drink. I've got the VLT. This is another lemon tea drink. I know you can get these in the UK, but I've never tried it. One thing I've noticed here is they don't do crust. I don't know what they have against crust, but everything is very soft and squishy here. They don't like crust on bread and I find that really strange. So yeah, I have a crustless sandwich. I have the boiled eggs from earlier. I didn't open this earlier because there's a lot of juice inside and so I didn't know how to get rid of the juice. I've got the cubed toast from earlier too. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to eat this. And then I saw these and I thought this could be my fun snack. I'm assuming it's grape sweets. I am sad though because I really wanted to try the Coolish ice cream. I saw it at the Big 7-Eleven, but because it's ice cream, I didn't want to bring it with me because by the time I try it, it might have melted. So I was like, it's okay though because I can pick it up from a random 7-Eleven on the way back. I went to 7-Eleven. They did not have the Coolish ice cream. So instead of having lots of egg, more lemon ice tea and snacks. First thing, let's try the drink. I want to see if this drink is sweet. Ooh, okay, this is what I was expecting. This one is sweet. I like it. I will say, I like the packaging here. It tells you how you're supposed to open it. What incredible design. Oh my God, you can see the shrimp. Okay, let's take a big girl bite. Hmm. It does taste a bit stale and a bit bland, but it's still way better than what I was expecting. I think because all the other food was so great today, I was expecting something incredible. But I have to remember, this is convenience food. This is the egg salad one. Can you tell this has been squished in my bag? Oh. Hmm. Okay, I take my mind. Texture, not great. It's like eating baby food. Taste-wise, this is really good. I really like this. I'm a really good egg salad. I don't like the fish cutlet. I like the egg salad. I would get this again. This is actually really good. And if I haven't had enough egg already, we're now gonna get the soft-boiled ones. I got this mainly because they don't sell soft-boiled egg like this in the UK, which is something a bit different. I'm actually quite scared to open this because I feel like I'm gonna go way crazy and it's gonna go everywhere. Ooh, it smells lovely. Oh, it says keep refrigerated. This has been out the fridge for a good while, pretty much all day. Oh, wow. I'm not really sure what the sauce is. I don't know how to show it to you either. This is not gonna go well. Can you guys see that? Oh my God, it feels so weird. Look, this is how all the beauty gurus do it too. But instead of makeup, I'm doing all of an egg. I'd be a terrible beauty guru because I can't even focus the egg. As you can see, it's an egg. Oh, I've got the juices everywhere, so I'm gonna be quick. Oh, that's quite nice. Oh, it's soy sauce. It doesn't taste soy saucy though. Look at the egg on the inside. It's definitely soft-boiled. That is really nice. The texture is very creamy. It's really soft. I really don't like the aftertaste. It tastes like miso soup. Oh, I don't know. That's really throwing me. I think the egg is an acquired taste and I don't think I've acquired it just yet. My palate is expanding, but not that rapidly. Anyway, onto hopefully more familiar territories. I've got this great snack that does not smell like any fruit I've ever smelled. Kind of smells kind of medicine-y, I'm not gonna lie. Oh, they look like little grapes, that's so cute. Mm, I like the texture. It tastes better than it smells. I'm a sucker for gummy sweets and this has good texture. Mm, really nice. I mean, I don't know what more to say. They're like, does it taste like grape? I guess. It's just really sweet. Texture-wise, it's a 10 out of 10. Very happy. I'm gonna get through this straight away. And the final thing is the first thing I bought today, which was the toast. I mean, the corner toast. I don't actually know what it is. It's a cube. That's fun. I will say, I do find the food here quite fun. Everything's so cutesy and squishy and just different. I like the novelty of it. Obviously, here it's normal, but to me, it's normal. I have no idea how I'm supposed to eat this, by the way. Apparently, it's toast. I'm assuming you're meant to cut it and slice it. It's a pretzel toast, but it doesn't look like a pretzel. It looks like a cube. I'm just gonna go into it. I think it is actually toast. It's not like sweet. I think it's just plain. All right, well, let's try it. Oh, it is just toast. It's like brioche toast. It's quite nice. It's like halfway between a croissant and brioche. You know what I didn't realize? What we call toast or bread in other parts of Europe, they don't call that bread. For us, what we have as bread is like those thinly sliced white. I don't have to show it. Like, we will put a picture on the screen of what British bread looks like. And my friend's Polish, and she was like, yeah, you guys don't have bread here. Like, you have this, which is for sandwiches, but you don't have like bread. And it's so funny how in different parts of the world, what they call toast and bread is so different. Like here, this is what toast is. That would never be toast in the UK. This is like a brioche bun. But on this side of the world, I guess this is bread. I could be wrong, but it is calling it pretzel toast. So bread here is sweet. It's nice, but I wouldn't call it bread. And it's fun. I like that I'm holding it like this. It's a little things in life, it really is. I think all the food has got to my head today. Food is sick, but I'm happy. Okay, that's everything. What a weird dinner. I'm gonna have this with my soft-boiled egg and see if that makes me like it more. Oh, it does not. Weird combo. That was a real hodgepodge of things for dinner. Very random, very weird. But I guess that's what you expect when you go to a convenience store. Overall, I would say I was very impressed by the convenience stores in Hong Kong. So nice, so clean, so many cool things that you wouldn't see in the UK. I particularly like those little pocket sandwiches. They're so cute with the bread. I've not seen them before. And it was so sunny today, walking around, going on the bus, going on the tube. I've had a really great day out. I wish our convenience stores was like this. Thank you so much for coming along with me. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for watching. I love you lots. Please know you matter, and I shall see you guys next time. Thanks for watching, bye. Oh, my voice, I think it's actually gone.
