I am still a fairly new subscriber to your channel. Already I value the content I've come across in your channel. You've expanded beyond local cuisine and have explored the diverse cuisine Oahu has to offer (Israeli, Ethiopian, etc) which I rarely see from other Hawaii food channels. I appreciate your thorough, yet succint reviews...quite handy as a reference, especially with added information such as pricing, location, hours and parking. You're doing an excellent job of showcasing local cuisine and small business. Please ignore the naysayers and comments about the production aesthetics. Your viewers admire your honest and straightforward approach and will remain engaged because of your helpful suggestions and varied food exploration.
You're doing great. 👍🏼 People can be mean cause they're unhappy. That's their issue, not yours. You have a supportive following. 👏🏼 I'll enjoy your reviews either way. It's awesome that you support the local businesses. Mahalo. 🌴
I think it was more constructive criticism. It was worth a try, but I am way too busy with other things in life to do the background again. Way too much work. Thank you for your supportive words and watching my videos! 🙏💗🤙
I live by two 7-11 stores, which are both literally a hop, skip and a jump away... your video has once again inspired me to partake in some fun adventurous grinds. 😋😋😋 I sincerely enjoy your videos, and I've enthusiastically shared them with family, friends and co-workers. You are doing a fantastic job of showcasing Hawaii's (Oahu) diverse local cuisine. Keep up the excellent work! 👍🤙❤ *Its funny how I found your UA-cam channel. Someone on FB Hawaiian Hauntings shared your graveyard video... now here I am, having so much fun checking out the local grindz you recommend... talk about inspiring someone's life... Mahalo. 😊🤙❤
Oh thank you for watching and sharing! I will do another cemetery one once a month. Not too much since it is a food channel. Stay tuned near the 15th of each month. More historic than haunting though. ❤
Hey Misty, no worry about those super critical people commenting on background or pronunciation. They can make their own vlog. It's all about the reviews which are great! Keep up the good work!
Loved their pork hash. That and the quinoa salad on my way to work. 7-11 is BOMB! I never noticed your background. I come here to see where you went eat and what you think about it. Love your channel!!
Great video! My fav is the fried chicken bento, pancit/chicken adobo, sweet bread ham and cheese, pork hash, and local breakfast scramble. My all time fav was the meat jun/garlic chicken bento, but they discontinued it. Boo!!!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! I know what you mean about discontinued stuff. I really enjoyed their Thai basil stir fry with bamboo shoots and then they stopped making it. 😪
Love your reviews! Very informative and love your candor. If I were to choose between your backgrounds; I like the original ... not staged, and a lot brighter!
Echo other comments, your content is why we watch your videos, thank you for featuring 7 Eleven, so right you have the most unique in the US. Appreciate your simple and honest reviews, we at the mainland who are fans of anything "lunch plate" have been enjoying and traveling virtually in Oahu through your vlog. I also like the historical snippets. More power to you.
the hawaii 7-11 has really improved their menu i used to eat only the breakfast pack with musubi n smokies but i like their tantan ramen n pho thanks for sharing
I used to make spam musubi for after church refreshments all the time; however, we haven't had church service in over a year now. I think I will make some tomorrow. Love your videos!
Wow miss the 7 elevens in Hawaii, here in the mainland don’t have bentos, spam musubies, porkash and the manapuas. Hopefully I can comeback visit soon. Thanks for sharing!
@@FoodFiend you are welcome. i enjoy your segments you can speak well very clear and phonics. i apperciate your explaination of different ethnic language and slang definition. what i enjoyed also your adventures thru different gaveyards. I have some relatives at where you visited. you showed good repect for the elders, and i was proud of you. "Good job". As for your back ground go with what you want you're information with quality not NEWS STATION. a bight back ground is friendly and makes your food more appetizing. This dark is scary. By the way what does 'peace out' stand for/
@@ke-lynke-a8266 Mahalo for your kind words! I tried an all white background or something brighter but with green screen you need the lighting extremely perfect otherwise you will get those black dots (which did appear sometimes) on the food or person talking. It is even worse with brighter colors so I picked something darker. Way too much work so I am glad you and the majority of people liked the normal background! To answer your question on "Peace out." It is just slang for goodbye or see you later. Have a great day! 🤙
Mahalo My Friend! So i did actually went to that 7 Eleven and another on on North Shore. Ok so me personally keep doing what your doing. This made everything grainy. So they are going to complain about the background too. I like being able to see what your eating and drinking. The best shots was without the background. I could actually see what it really looked like. I appreciate what you do to shine light on the culture in Hawaii. 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
It was me that missed the pork hash from the manapua van. I've made a long list when I go back to visit fam and 711 is actually first on the list. Could you review food from Soons kalbi in Salt lake? I remember stopping by there so much when I was younger after school lol.
Hello 🖐 That's great! I will but honestly I had been there a couple of years ago and the food wasn't that great to me. Most of the people cooking was non Korean and the mama's kind of just run the business side of the restaurant. I know they are known for their meat jun, but I don't eat it. I guess I'm spoiled because my mom is from Korea and cooks wonderful food and that is why you don't see me really review Korean plate lunches. BUT I will put it on my list. I'm sure there's something on the menu I can find to eat.
I love your vids. Takes me back to when I was little living on Oahu and part time on the Big Island!! How I miss the food!! They sure have added a variety to the menu.
You definately highlighted a lot of my favorites. I was so amazed of how flavorful the PHO was, but yuup, you need at least 2 per person, shrimp hash and luchong bun are my go to favorites at 7-11. Agree with you, we have the best selection out of Asia. Thank You for boosting our local eats.
The pork hash reminds me of when I was a youngster. Chinese men used to go around town carrying 2round metal bins, one on each end of pole that was perfectly balanced on their shoulders. One bin had manapua, the other pork hash and pepeiao, a half moon shaped dumpling. Thank you for sharing and informing us on the excellent selections available @ 7 Eleven
Good morning. I perfer the natural look. The green screen throwing off the look of some of the foods. The oven roasted salmon musubi is my go to most of the time. Along with a coke zero. Perfect for a driver.
Yeah, the horrible shadow was nasty. Not to mention 12 hours of exporting the video due to so much data from the background. Back to the ugly background LOL.
Aloha, just wanted to put my 2 cents in here in regards to your vlogs. I've always admired how you keep it real with your food reviews and for me personally, I'm watching your vlogs to listen to you and hear what you have to say about the food you purchase and are going to eat. I actually think you doing it with the original background/windows in your home adds to the charm of your vlogs as well. But this is my opinion. No matter what, you have great vlogs that are very informative about food you purchase on the island and I've learned a lot about places I would have never heard of otherwise. I don't know what your name is, so I'll say keep up the great job with your channel Food Fiend and I look forward to your next vlog. Oh yeah, thanks for explaining about how in Hawaii they pronounce Lychee, I pronounce it the other way all of my life, so while visiting there I kept on thinking that I was saying it wrong, sort of like tomato /tomato thing :)
Aloha Paula! I appreciate your kind words. Hopefully things will clear up soon and you can come and visit again! 👍🤙❤ And you're right about tomato/tomatoe. I don't see a difference as long as people understand what the other person means.
@@FoodFiend if all goes well, I'll be out there in December. By the way, I forgot to mention that I liked the Primus t shirt you were wearing in one of your other vlogs (I'm 54 yrs old, I've seem the best of those bands in concert including Primus back in the day!)
Thank you for another great video Misty! ❤️😊🙏🏻 It looks like 7-11 there has some great options, and I didn’t think the prices were bad at all for a convenience store. They’re always higher, you pay for the convenience. 😊😊😊
The amount of time I have been to Hawaii I have never been to a 7 Eleven. The food looks good will give it a try when I get there in Oct. It does look yummy.
Yes please try it. It is good affordable food. Our 7-11s are owned by Japan. So that's why there's those meals that are similar to ones in Asia, but with a Hawaii flair. 7-11 makes one of the island's best musubis!
@@FoodFiend I have never had a musubi. Don't judge..... I plan to change that. Have you ever been to Fook Yuen Seafood Restaurant at McCully Shopping Center. Great food!! get the lobster. Will be going back to this place.
@@alohapoppet6107 it's ok. Always a first for everything and some people love it or hate it. I have been to Fook Yuen many times. We used to go there a lot after playing gigs when I was younger because they are open very late at night. I haven't filmed there though, but I agree, the food is wonderful! I used to love this steamed prawns with garlic dish but I don't know what it's actually called.
@@FoodFiend Tell you a great place to get the best hotdogs you will ever have is Aloha beach dogs on cartwright road. The hotdogs here are to die for. I went out for dinner 2 times with the couple who run it Greg and Elizabeth. Tell them I sent you.
Thank you Crystal, for the kind comments. I most likely cannot hang out as I am so busy with work and mommy duties. I don't think I've even hung out with my own friends for months LOL. But anyway, enjoy your vacation and I hope it is fabulous! 🤙
visited family in hawaii in may and planned to eat places you shared but by the time i wanted to eat i was already full by the pork hash and manapua....
Personally, the living room background was just fine and had an authentic home vibe befitting the viewpoints of a real person, not like a studio production. I value content over pretentious wannabe YT creators. Like some people have already said, you do you and never mind the phonies and trolls.
Another great vlog. Hey who cares about your background - food is the focus here and not home decorating. Good thing, they didn't ask you to kill the chirping of birds in the background. Keep up the good work!
The question is..is it really meat? Do the Hawaii 7-Elevens have small tables and chairs for customers to use, like in the Philippines? Or is everything all take out? 🤙🏾. Ube is purple yam, and is delicious the way Filipinos make it. The word comes from the word uvas, meaning grapes (the purple ones) and evolved into uve, or ube, since Tagalog dialect doesn’t have the v letter.
Good question LOL. I'm sure it is. The 7-Elevens are not like the Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, or Japan. There is no eating area. It is a grab and go and everyone eats it at home or work. It is quite busy during lunch time on a work day.
I remember when the pho bowl came out and I always wondered how the soup just appears when you microwave it, I guess I should’ve known since I already knew that pho broth is gelatin like when it’s cold. I always assumed the broth was just coated onto the cold noodles and the heat released the broth or something like that. Also yes, the ube cookies are amazing. I live mainland now but am about to move back to Oahu, and I can say with absolute confidence that 711 out here is DEFINITELY inferior to 711 in Hawaii. Mainland 711 is comparable to a gas station convenience store, but just shittier. They have the pizza, taquitos, and hot dogs, but they’re usually less well kept than gas station food marts here. I noticed that since I’ve moved to the mainland, I preferred to go to Circle K or QuikTrip (maybe even Speedway or Chevron) over going to 711 here. In Hawaii I would almost always go to 711 for a quick bite to eat, rather than the gas station, since gas station was usually more sketchy on the inside, and didn’t have as much selection as 711 did. 711 in Hawaii is definitely way cleaner than most 711s I’ve been to on mainland.
Thanks for watching! Yes, we are so lucky to have such a selection at our 7-11s and you're right, they are very clean compared to other gas station convenience stores in the mainland. Hope your move back goes well! 🤙
When you said pork hash 79 cents I said wow Oahu 7/11 cheaper than kauai then I realized this video was 2years ago🙃recently my go to its the Portuguese sausage scramble eggs burrito killa🌺🤙🌺also the lawai 7/11 is the only store that sells the old matsura store manju👍
Yes now it's about $1.05 each. I haven't been in so long. I used to go everyday for something to snack on at work. Now I don't really get a chance to go outside of the office so I bring home lunch.
What's wrong with rubbery hotdogs, dry taquitos, or soggy pizza? 🤣 Man, even your 7-11's are better than ours. Regarding the green screen - Nah, no need. 🤙
@@FoodFiend I'd much rather have a Spam musubi, loco moco plate, or bowl of pho. You guys are so lucky. Thank you for the video. I've never stopped at a 7-11 in Hawaii. I thought they were junk like ours. I only go there for Lotto.
Aw that sucks. I did walk into one recently in LA and yes quite small with old pizza under the heat lamp. Our 7-11's in Hawaii are owned by Japan so maybe that's why there's so many things to eat.
Yes. Hopefully it will change one day. I think it would be awesome if each state concentrated on good 7-11 foods in their area of cuisine. Like lobster rolls in New England, Mexican in Cali and Texas, etc.
OMG 711s in Maine COULD NEVER 🤣 When I'm visiting family I hit up the local 711 for musubis, Dynamite shrimp rolls pork hash and so many other snacks. Relentlessly 🥹. It's so good. 🔥 mahalos for the video. I can't wait to come home if for nothing else the food! 🥹 Thanks for the video, love watching them!!!

I remember when the pho bowl came out and I always wondered how the soup just appears when you microwave it, I guess I should’ve known since I already knew that pho broth is gelatin like when it’s cold. I always assumed the broth was just coated onto the cold noodles and the heat released the broth or something like that. Also yes, the ube cookies are amazing.
I live mainland now but am about to move back to Oahu, and I can say with absolute confidence that 711 out here is DEFINITELY inferior to 711 in Hawaii. Mainland 711 is comparable to a gas station convenience store, but just shittier. They have the pizza, taquitos, and hot dogs, but they’re usually less well kept than gas station food marts here. I noticed that since I’ve moved to the mainland, I preferred to go to Circle K or QuikTrip (maybe even Speedway or Chevron) over going to 711 here. In Hawaii I would almost always go to 711 for a quick bite to eat, rather than the gas station, since gas station was usually more sketchy on the inside, and didn’t have as much selection as 711 did. 711 in Hawaii is definitely way cleaner than most 711s I’ve been to on mainland.
Thanks for watching! Yes, we are so lucky to have such a selection at our 7-11s and you're right, they are very clean compared to other gas station convenience stores in the mainland. Hope your move back goes well! 🤙
Thank you for sharing your vlog at 7-11.
However, the background is too dark. Your background in your home doesn't bother me. Enjoy YOU! 🌺🤙🏼
Mahalo!
When you said pork hash 79 cents I said wow Oahu 7/11 cheaper than kauai then I realized this video was 2years ago🙃recently my go to its the Portuguese sausage scramble eggs burrito killa🌺🤙🌺also the lawai 7/11 is the only store that sells the old matsura store manju👍
Yes now it's about $1.05 each. I haven't been in so long. I used to go everyday for something to snack on at work. Now I don't really get a chance to go outside of the office so I bring home lunch.
What's wrong with rubbery hotdogs, dry taquitos, or soggy pizza? 🤣 Man, even your 7-11's are better than ours. Regarding the green screen - Nah, no need. 🤙
🤣 I guess once in a while when you're drunk and hungry, those rubbery hot dogs hit the spot.
@@FoodFiend I'd much rather have a Spam musubi, loco moco plate, or bowl of pho. You guys are so lucky. Thank you for the video. I've never stopped at a 7-11 in Hawaii. I thought they were junk like ours. I only go there for Lotto.
In the Midwest our 7-11's are a joke, they have very little in them, while Japan's 7-11's are amazing, and Hawaii's look excellent as well
Aw that sucks. I did walk into one recently in LA and yes quite small with old pizza under the heat lamp. Our 7-11's in Hawaii are owned by Japan so maybe that's why there's so many things to eat.
I do miss the 7-11 in Hawaii, the 7-11 here in the states are boring.
Yes. Hopefully it will change one day. I think it would be awesome if each state concentrated on good 7-11 foods in their area of cuisine. Like lobster rolls in New England, Mexican in Cali and Texas, etc.
I watch your vlogs to see where, what and your reviews. Not your background.
Thank you! Much easier for me to just press the record button and eat instead of setting up all the equipment. 🤣
I liked your background, not digging this new one.
Gotcha! Reverting back to the old one next week.
7-11 Oregon sucks. You literally don't buy food there. Just got back from Hawaii. Not the same company, just name
Yeah the 7-11 Hawaii is owned by the same people that own the ones in Japan. That's why it's similar to the Asian 7-11s in terms of food
OMG 711s in Maine COULD NEVER 🤣 When I'm visiting family I hit up the local 711 for musubis, Dynamite shrimp rolls pork hash and so many other snacks. Relentlessly 🥹. It's so good. 🔥 mahalos for the video. I can't wait to come home if for nothing else the food! 🥹 Thanks for the video, love watching them!!!
Yes we are so lucky! The 711s in thr mainland are weak. Since you're up that way I remember just Cumberland Farms and Dunks. 🤣
