The other day, I found a new face with a "new product" sticker at 7-ELEVEN. Looking at the product name ... " Tom! Yam! Kun! (With vermicelli) ". Insanely staccato name.



I bought it because of the momentum of the product name. The price is 350 yen (tax included). By the way, the low calorie of 193kcal per meal is one of the factors that made me open my wallet.


Looking at the raw materials, it seems that vermicelli is combined with Tom Yum Kung soup, which is a combination of coconut milk, nam pla, and lemon juice. The ingredients include chicken, bean sprouts, beech mushrooms, and fried shrimp so that you can't see the vermicelli at all.

Now, warm it up in a 500W microwave oven for two and a half minutes, and then take a sip of steaming hot soup.


This Tom! Yam! Kun! , Insanely book! Case! Target! When you put it in your mouth, the umami of seafood spreads first, and the refreshing flavor of herbs such as coriander and lemon comes out quickly. The spiciness of the chili peppers that peck at the throat is also strong, but the coconut milk adds mellowness and a slight sweetness, so it is very easy to eat!

Vermicelli is flat and thick noodles with a firm texture and is similar to pho (rice noodles). With this vermicelli and plenty of ingredients, you can eat it without any complaints. I was particularly impressed by the existence of shrimp. It contains 2 fish and is fried, so you can eat the whole shell from the head to the tail.



This one item is quite voluminous, but if you think that this is not enough, you may want to add white rice to the soup and make it "Tom! Yam! Kun! Zosui". By the way, when I bought Shio Musubi (100 yen including tax) at 7-ELEVEN and finally put it in the soup and ate it, it was a fierce horse.



It seems that you can write a world trip at a convenience store so easily that you can buy such authentic ethnic food. No wonder foreign tourists said, "Japanese convenience store rice is really delicious" (true story).

So, 7-ELEVEN's real Tom! Yam! Kun! If you like ethnicity, please give it a try.
