The 7/11’s in Malaysia are usually not great, definitely incomparable to Family Mart though. Around lunch time, FM is probably at its peak where all the foods and desserts are available!
also our family mart is incomparable to japan's which is unfortunate. For example the difference in oden quality is huge if you've tried both and ours just lacks so much variety compared to japan's also it would be hilarious if he went to a typical 7-11- just spend the whole video eating roti jagung and milo lol
Hell the only reason 7/11 even *tried* to up their quality and serve ready-to-eat meals was only after they got threatened by Famima's popularity lol (Even then not all 7/11 have cafes yet nor quality ones at that)
@@tofuteh2348 i think family mart msia does a good job of TRYING to replicate japan but it does fall short. However, the 7/11 does kind of remind me of an american one. I would never go there for food, just literally to buy a drink
@@Kogami agreeeed. I remember around 5/4 years ago when I lived in both Penang and KL there were no 7/11 cafes around me and it seems to be a new thing. I definitely think there’s room for way more improvement but 7/11 has to admit themselves they will never be family mart 😹😹
I really appreciate your honest opinions of the food. When someone raves about everything all of the time even though some of it looks dodgy, I never really trust them. When it's not good, you tell it like it is. Thank you.
So happy that you tried our Famima! I'm so sorry that you have to taste that from our 7-11 though, they only started having cafes after Famima existed here and 7-11 here definitely doesn't match anything Japan offers at all even before they started trying to compete with our local Famima. We also have CU Mart here, I'd love to see you try that! And yes Famima's oden the best when you have it with their ramen noodles :)
Agreed😂😂 maybe because we are not so big on convenience store foods since we have all those cheap and delicious street vendors. Also here, FM and CU got better food choices.
7-11 here barely served ready-to-eat meals before, only some boiler for your cup noodles and Slurpees as you'd expect from basic non-Japanese 7-11 stores. It was only because of Famima they started serving ready-to-eat meals and even then they don't try to match the quality of our Famima/CU lol.
Even if the company is run out of Texas - it is owned by a Japanese conglomerate. So not surprised that 7-11 is well versed in having outstanding retail in Asia. I wish they would bring some of that to the US though maybe testing some of this in California where there is respect for diversity and multiculturalism.
This video explains why we don't recommend our convenient store food to anyone. And why we are so excited when we go abroad and try out other countries' convenient store food.
The 7E and FM across my house are located side by side. While 10s of customers flood FM within a span of 10 minutes, not a single customer entered 7E. The stark contrast clearly highlights who's superior when it comes to food quality and variety. Glad you get to try both Mike!
Family Mart is my go-to lunch spot - it’s 10-12 mins walk away from work for me but so worth it! I do go to 7-E cafe that is 5 mins walk away if I am feeling lazy and totally agree with your assessment-Family Mart is 10/10, 7-E is more like 6/10. I do like the variety of drinks on offer at 7-E better, though. Thai Milk tea is really good but super sweet so I dilute it at the water cooler in the office before drinking it.
By golly Mike, are you metabolizing the food as you go. I get a belly ache just watching you eat all that food in one sitting. I love my time here every time though, don’t think otherwise
Watching things like this is kind of amazing to me. Where I live, the food you get at quick-stop places like this comes with the unspoken rule of "eat at your own peril". You're just as likely to end up with food poisoning as you are to find something that actually tastes good.
Oh my, i have being waiting Mike to do this series in Malaysia! hahaha ! Yea 7-11 just started their Cafe 1-2 years back and they still need some time to improve their food quality. Family Mart is way better! We also have the CU mart and E-mart, if you have time to check it out!
7-11 cafe is a great concept however they need to find the right supplier for their food. And keeping it fresh is the key.. some of the sandwiches are really soggy and don't look appetizing. If they can improve on the standard definitely can compete with Family Mart. I will always find time to visit 7-11 in Jpn or Taiwan they have really nice assortments and a special menu.
Yeah you can tell just from the way they looked in the video that they were dry as a desert and sandwiches were soggy and I find it off that they are the only 7-11 to not cut off the crusts on their sandwiches. It's a small thing, but it really loses a lot of appeal and is an easy way to tell they are definitely cutting some corners when comes to food. Honestly, the 7-11 in the video reminds a lot more of the 7-11 in the US with the way it looks and the food (both in terms of consistency and quality), then the ones in Japan or other parts of Asia. It kinda feels like they trying too hard to go for an fancier "higher-end" experiance but since the food simply doesn't live up to that, it fails miserably . On the other hand, Fami-mart actually looks like what a Fami-mart would look like in Japan with a slight Malaysian twist and seems to embrace it's convenience store heritage and focuses on good affordable food and creating an universal feel between all there stores. I find it kinda cool how everyone countries 7-11 seems to going in different directions and trying to offer unique experiences...But sometimes I feel they really lose what makes 7-11 so popular in the first place. Fresh, affordable and tasty food all ready to go. Do we really "need" a 7-11 cafe experience, a bookstore or dissapointing "gourmet" meals?
7-E really do deserve the criticism, it started of late compared to Family Mart. Hope that it could be better by finding other vendor to do the food for them.
hey I'm visiting Malaysia too! Not in KL but on the East Island, the 711s here seem a bit lack luster imo so I can agree with your opinion as well but there are tons of other places to eat here as well so I usually go else where or eat 711's frozen food, they're surprisingly good, glad to see you're doing videos here 😂 not many ppl talk about this country but I honestly love it here (will be moving here eventually🤞)
I miss seeing this 7 11 food reviews this are my kind of food reviews I enjoy seeing on your UA-cam channel my favorite has to be the Mack and cheese and cheese cheese 🧀 sandwiches
I actually thought Family Mart was way better than 7/11 in Japan. There were more choices at 7/11 but taste-wise Family Mart was better (wasabi mayo and cucumber sandos were my go to!). I didn't even go to the 7/11 in Malaysia and went straight to Family Mart haha.
Yea we are not huge on 7-11. Cause we got many restaurants that we don't really do convenience store. We more to cook ourselves or eat at restaurant which is more cheaper and filling. That is the biggest 7-11 i think. Normal 7-11, rarely visited. We be like 'why go to convenience store if the restaurants more filling and worth it'.
i will only go to a convenience store when all the other regular food shops are closed. it's really like the last place i go for food when there are no other place left.
Your attitude about convenience stores is why they don't sell good food at U.S. 7-11s. People in other countries don't have a problem with buying food from 7-11.
@@kuhnhan i am from Malaysia. What the hell has it to do with stores in US? I don't go to convenience store because I don't like eating processed food from the shelves. I prefer natural food which is cooked on the spot.

@@yorha2b278 no you're clueless. He always does this whenever he visits countries in Asia. Don't comment negatively if you aren't willing to use your brain
Asia does 7 Eleven so much better than North America does. If I have the ability to travel to Japan one day, you'd bet I'd stuff all of the Japanese sweets into my hotel room fridge. 😜
@@jttang3148 Why on earth would they be ‘new’ because they commented that? Lol & why would it matter? He really doesn’t do convenient stores often these days.
Malaysia is one of those countries that if you're a traveler and you come to eat at the consider convenience store, you're definitely doing it wrong. The local vendors and stalls are the way to go As a malaysian myself, I feel like our 7E and FM are way behind compared to the likes of Thailands
One could tell those items from 7/11 would be dry. No wonder there weren't very many people in there. Cool concept though - too bad they didn't have the product to back it up. In Canada, some of our 7/11s now serve beer and wine. (Barefoot/Bud/Corona/White Claw/Mount Rushmore/Corona)
I’m a Malaysian and I can guarantee you that you will only be met with disappointment if you’re expecting decent food / service from Family Mart Malaysia. Staff are slow, lacks proper training as they can’t even produce items that are on their extensive drink menu yet they keep coming up with new drinks which is unbelievable.
finally!!!!! i've been waiting for mikey to do a convenient store tour in Malaysia!!! For me the best is a toss up between Family Mart and CU but Mynews is good too! the convenient store world changed a lot the last 5+ years here. also CU and My news are under the same company so their bread comes from the same master kitchen. also At family mart you miss out on the korean cheese ramen from the hot food section and the frappe from the freezer!
the minute he said 7-11 in malaysia I was like for what? he's going to taste the toothpastes? Family Mart outside of Japan are terrible. Mochi Puff and their soft serve are my only go to when I was there. Reminds me of softer and bigger eclair.
man, i’m in malaysia right now on vacation! there’s no familymarts near me and the 7/11 is not nearly as good as the one he showed either! makes kuala lumpur feel like a really big place rn with the differences in convenience stores lol. i wish mike would come take me around to the better places around here!

I love how you made the transition at 12:20 to make the familymart seems far but it is like a 2 min walk to it from that 7 11
don't know why but that i am blind line ..just had me laughing 😂
Welcome to Malaysia, as a Malaysian we don't really buy food in 7/11 as the food is bad. Family Mart is a better option or CU mart

Mikey great eating junk food
At malaysia, people go to 7-11 to buy prepaid topup, condoms, pay bills and pay for shoppee.. 😂
It's called Tom Yum Oden to be honest.
I honestly think he would eat poo with a splash of chilli oil and say this ia AMAZINGGGGG
That's an oddly specific interest you have there.
And I've been skipping surfshark every time.
Are the 7-Eleven’s in Malaysia Corporate owned stores or are they franchises?
