7-Eleven S’pore Sells Ready-To-Eat Korean Army Stew, Kimchi Jjigae & Bibimbap From $3.90
For your Korea holiday withdrawal symptoms.
In April this year, convenience store chain 7-Eleven Singapore took us grounded folks on a ‘trip’ to Japan with a selection of Japanese-themed snacks, like a Pablo Cheese Tart roll cake. Now, it’s offering more deli items from overseas under its 7-Select food range. The new limited-edition selection rides on the Hallyu wave trend with K-drama-friendly bites like kimchi jjigae, jjajangmyeon and tteokbokki.
Here’s what you can get:
One of Korea’s most famous exports, 7-Eleven’s version of Bibimbap is a rice bowl blanketed with spicy chicken chunks, a sunny side up egg, kimchi and other veggies like mushrooms and carrots. At under $4, this is one of the lowest-priced bibimbaps on our island (yep, even cheaper than Korean hawker stalls, which typically sells bibimbap at around $5 a bowl).
Still obsessed over Crash Landing on You? You may want to try this Korean Army Stew, which is filled with marinated chicken, noodles, veggies and tofu. Hyun Bin not included.
The classic Korean spicy tofu and kimchi stew comes in a handy microwaveable tray here. The chicken broth is spiked with gochujang and comes with a side of rice. Ideal for supper, now that prata outings are off the table.
This fuss-free noodle dish comes with egg noodles tossed with chunjang (Korean black bean paste) and spring onions.
While this is not a new item, the relaunched Korean Spicy Rice Cakes with a gochujang sauce are now directly imported from Korea. Other light snacks include a Kimchi Chicken and Omelette Sandwich ($3.50) and Chicken Bulgogi Wrap ($2.90).
All items available at 7-Eleven Singapore outlets from now till June 22, while stocks last. www.7-eleven.com.sg.
