A1
Welcome back to a new video guys. Today
we're going to be learning easy English
using comprehensible input.
Start the word count and let's go.
So this is a big water
bottle and it comes with a handle
because it's very heavy so it's easier to
carry it with the handle
and up here that is a bug
catcher. It attracts the bugs with the
light and then you can see they stick
onto the black part there,
a bug catcher. Over here we have a
freezer. There is ice inside the freezer
but we are not looking
for ice. We are looking to eat real food
although I don't know how
real the food is if it's from
7-11. We'll see. You'll be surprised. So
what drink are you looking to get? This
has just caught my eye.
Isn't this a lychee or lychee?
Lychee I think is the
right pronunciation.
People pronounce it differently. I've
heard lychee. I've heard lychee. Me
personally I say lychee but
this is a type of fruit. I think I want
to try this. I've never
seen it before. Actually let me
try the smaller one. What's that green
one on the end? This one
is banana pineapple. No way.
Banana, orange and pineapple. Wow. But
I'm just gonna try the
lychee. I've never had this flavor
and I like lychees so I'm gonna buy this
and try it and I will let
you guys know how good it is.
What drink do you want? Do you want a
soda or do you want a tea or a juice or
water or milk? I think
I want something not carbonated so I'm
gonna go with... Soju? That's alcoholic. I'm
gonna get a tea. If you
see a lemon tea that'd be good. A lemon
tea? Yep. Right there. Oh no
that's green tea honey lemon.
Honey lemon up there, second row.
honey lemon. This looks good. Maybe I
should get this but I
want to try this flavor. I've never seen
this flavor so I'll just
get this one. So we got the
bevs now let's get a snack. Oh dude look
at this. This is seaweed. Seaweed or fish
strips? Sorry this is
fish strips. Usually it's squid.
Like here these
are squid. These are
squid yeah. Yeah but anyways what chips
do you want? You said these are popular.
Have you had these before?
I've had the shrimp ones and they're
good. These ones? Yes. They kind of look
like onion rings. They
look like onion rings. This looks cool
but the one I would like to try... These
look good. Those look
delicious. I would try those. What about
these ones? They look like little...
These Cheetos look good.
Cheesy Cheetos? Mmm corn. Butter roasted
corn flavor. What is this
flavor? Just cheese. I haven't
had Cheetos in a very very long time so I
think I'll go with this
Cheeto flavor. What flavor of
chips do you want? I don't know. Maybe
I'll try these chicken skins here.
Chicken skins? Those
are almost chips. I have never seen
chicken skin. It's actual chicken skin.
Yeah. Wow well we're
getting chicken skin. Now let's get the
main course. An actual like entree
right here. There's our
entree. Protein snack. Yeah okay so these
are all the entrees you can have.
So this will be our lunch. So we have all
these options. These are
lunches you can warm up and
these you can probably eat cold but I
think they taste better
warmed up and these are toasties
like sandwiches. What do you want? I
think I'll have one of these lunches
here. I had them last
here. I had them last
time I was in Thailand and they were
actually really good. They
do a good job at making them
taste good. They taste just like the real
thing or no? I think
really close. I had one of these
noodle ones and they were delicious.
Maybe this one here. Oh yeah
I had one of these noodles and
they were quite good. There are a lot of
choices. This looks like
seafood. It does say in English there.
Well I've always liked curries so
these ones. Oh and if you're
missing your Korean food here
you go.
So we have our
drink, our meal and a snack
and the only thing we're missing
is dessert. So we're gonna choose a
dessert here. There are many choices so
I'm not sure what I want
but I'll choose one and you guys will see
me eat it, try it and rate
it. We have our stuff so we're
about to check out. We got all our food.
Let's head back to our
apartment and we'll try this and
describe it to you with as many
adjectives as we can think of.

evening Ava, this is Volca in room
1503. I'm calling because the air

hot. I'm very sorry to hear that. Volca,
to help me assist you
better, could you describe what
happens when you try to adjust the
thermostat? Yes, of course. When I try to

your luggage or can you
manage? Yes, can you please

Okay guys we just got back
from the convenience
store.
The drinks.
We have Leon's chips. Chicken skins. And
then we have Leon's
dessert, my dessert, my chips
and then oh it's still warm. Oh my oh
that's really warm. My bun
and then Leon's.
I already tried this but I'm
gonna try it again to give
you guys the reaction. You can try your
stuff too. We got the bev
honey lemon oolong tea. This
is basically iced tea. Okay this I
don't know if you guys have
had honeycomb before. Honeycomb,
this is what it looks like but this like
I swear this tastes exactly like
honeycomb. If honeycomb
was a liquid this would be it like it
doesn't taste a little bit
it tastes exactly, exactly
like honeycomb, really! It's insane.
Okay so uh what should we
have first? The snack, dessert
or the main course? I think let's start
with the main course first.
Yeah this is like a coconut curry so
there's a lot of coconut
oil in it and that spilled out a bit.
Okay so this is my bao bun.
It's a jumbo big bao barbecued
pork. So now I'm going to open the
packaging. Oh there was moisture that
spilled out but this is what
it looks like. It does look quite good. I
really do like bao buns so I
decided to go with this. It
was only 30 baht which is about a
was only 30 baht which is about a
dollar 30 Canadian but
let's try the bao bun.
Sounds good.
Here we got the curry. So this is a Thai
green curry. Super popular
curry in Thailand. It's got
a little egg in there and some purple
rice. I don't know if the flavor has
changed from regular
rice but we'll see right now. So we'll
try some of that chicken.
Mmm flavor is good. I can definitely
taste the coconut milk. A little salty
and there's a little
bit of spice in there.
Let's try the rice by itself.
So that just tastes like regular rice.
The color does not affect the
flavor at all but it's got a
little bit of different texture.
and it makes it a
little bit more crunchy. So we'll get a
nice bite here. Okay this is
genuinely such a weird drink.
It's really throwing me off. Like I don't
remember lychee tasting like this but
honeycomb it's really
I don't know if I like it or not. It's
really really weird and
different. Let's finish my
pork bao bao bun. I have to say this
is really delicious. This is bussing.
I don't know what this is. I think it's
like an eggplant or
something or maybe an egg. No I think
it's eggplant. Is it egg? That's crazy.
Oh no. It's a vegetable. I think it's a
fig. Oh it's got some
heat to it. I mean the sauce does, the
curry. The bao bun is quite good. The
only thing I would say
is that it is very sweet. It was very
very sweet. That's like my one thing
about it. I think they
could tone down the sweetness and then
that would make it a lot
better but right now it's just
it is too sweet for me in my opinion.
This is also too sweet.
It's just sweet sweet sweet.
I need to cleanse my palate with Cheetos.
Shouldn't you try the
dessert first? That'll be sweet.
Too much sweetness? Yeah dude. It's
really like I'm gonna have a sugar crash
later today. Also a review on this ice
tea. Honestly I find
carbonated drinks to be really
refreshing but this is honestly on par
with being as refreshing.
Wanna try it? Pretty good.
Okay so I thought there would be a lot
more flavor on these
but these don't really
have that much flavor.
They're kind of like plain.
Yeah nothing to write home about but I
guess it's a good snack.
Honestly this is a really good meal.
It's surprising that they can like
mass produce this and
then send it out to
thousands of 7-elevens around Thailand.
It's actually crazy. This
is like I would eat this
again for sure. Thai green curry. It's
again for sure. Thai green curry. It's
got good flavor and I
think even for Thai people
eating at 7-eleven is popular for
lunch or something. If
you're busy or working lots
it's really convenient and it's still
really good and the price
is crazy. This
is not that expensive at all. Bro this is
pure sugar. Iced tea. He
said it was refreshing. That
is not refreshing. It's just really sweet
but we stopped at that
lady and bought some chicken
so let me take a bite of this chicken.
Hopefully it's cooked all the
way. Oh it smells good though.

Yeah it looks good. I think you got the
thigh right? They cut it
open and then they split it
out. So you got to be careful with
chicken because you might
get salmonella poisoning.
Can that kill you? Oh yeah it can
kill you. It's bacteria
but it's crazy because in some
places like Japan you can actually eat
raw chicken there. So what they do is
they cook the outside
really quickly and then the inside is
still raw so apparently that
kills any salmonella that can
be on the outside and the inside is still
like completely clean but
if you're willing to risk
that you can go to Japan and you can try
it or you can try it at home but I don't
know. Whoa whoa whoa
whoa whoa. Do not try that at home.
Please do not. Do not try that. Yeah no
you can't mess around
with food. Food is very dangerous. You
have to be careful. You have to respect
food and you have to
make sure everything is cooked and all
bacteria and stuff
is dead before you eat it.
That's why we boil water or cook food
that kills the bacteria. Chicken skin.
This is crazy. I just
saw it at the corner of my eye and I want
to try it. It looks good
actually. It looks like
chicharrones but for chicken.
Oh that smells spicy.
That smells strong. I think we
got the spicy one. I just picked
whatever. There's a fire right here so I
think I might have a little
kick to it. That's what it looks like.
Nice crunch but it's not spicy it's just
sweet. I think there's
a lot of sugar in the food we've had
today because... Can I try one? Oh these are
like the those remind me
of this Chinese food I had in Shanghai
those kabob things. Oh yeah maybe
that's the flavor like
uh it's not spicy though it's just sweet
and savory. To me it
just tastes really
fatty and greasy and oily. Yeah it's
greasy because it's skin right?
It's good but it's not a
lot we only had a couple pieces and it's
almost empty. Yeah almost
empty. Okay so we've finished
our main course and some of our
snack. Now let's move on to
the dessert. I got young coconut
lava mochi. It looks really good. And I
got these little puff
pastries. They're like what do you
call these uh strudels like tiny little
strudels. Yeah you got grape? Yeah
grape jelly flavor. I
don't know how good grape would be. I
feel like some sort of berry
would have been nicer. Yeah I
thought this was blueberry actually when
I picked it up. I have my mochi very
sticky. Let's try this.
Whoa look at how stretchy this
Whoa look at how stretchy this
mochi is. Looks like cheese man. It
literally looks like
mozzarella. It's supposed to be coconut
flavor but I don't really
taste any coconut. I just
taste sweet man. Everything is just
sweet. This looks kind of good actually.
Look how crispy that looks.
That smells strong. Oh let me try one.
That's sweet but a nice
crunch. That one looks burnt.
These smell super strong. As soon as he
took it out, it's just that strong
grape flavor. Let's try it.
Yeah it's like a strudel. Yeah I'd say
it's a strudel. The top it
looks like they put sugar on it
when they were baking it. So it kind of
has that crunch.
It's got a lot of layers too. Try that
mochi. See what you think
of that one. It's got some
sesame seeds on the top. They're all the
same. Smells like sesame.
We'll see how it tastes.
Oh wow. I think there's a filling inside
this one. Yeah the other
one too. Oh it's like um.
It's supposed to be coconut. I think it tastes
a little bit like coconut
but young coconut. Oh okay.
Young coconut lava mochi. Wow. Super
sweet but it's good. It's got a little
bit of coconut flavor.
That filling is nice though. I'm not a
big fan of mochi but this is
a cool treat. Yeah I was
about to say I thought you hated mochi. I
don't like mochi that much
but this is like maybe 20%
mochi. The rest is just like a filling.
Mmm. Maybe I do love
mochi. Have you ever had mochi?
Every mochi is only like 10 to 20% mochi.
Mochi is always wrapped
around a fruit or something.
No traditional mochi doesn't have
anything. It's just straight
beaten rice. I have never seen
I've never seen just someone selling
straight mochi. The straight
mochi is the original.
Like everything else is like...
I'm not
Japanese so I don't know
but I went to Japan and all the mochi I
ever saw was always wrapped.
The mochi was always wrapped.
Well I don't know if that's the correct
way to describe that
mochi but there was always fruit
and then the mochi wrapped wrapped
the fruit. Yeah I've
seen that with strawberries
but I'm pretty sure that's
a newer way to eat it.
that's not like traditional.
I don't know because the one I've never
seen this a ball of mochi that you just
eat. I've never seen
the one mochi I had it was in Nara or
Kyoto and they beat it with
a big mallet and then
they give you a piece of that
just the mochi and they wrap
it in or they throw it in um like a brown
powder that's like uh I
think it's some sort of fermented
powder that they make and then you eat it
like that just straight
mochi. That's like traditionally
where you're talking about like woru
mochi or something
something like that and that.
You put
this uh brown syrupy sauce on it
and it's a million times better. Yeah
this is the one I had the green one. Okay
and I didn't have the
green one. I had I the white... but
I can't
remember they put the sauce on it
but I do remember the powder. Well you
have to put the powder or else it'll be too
sticky. Yeah exactly
because that one that one there is
sticky. Yeah because they didn't put a
powder on here. So what's
the final verdict? We finished pretty
much all the food there's
some mochi, some chips, some
chicken left but for the most part we
finished the food. This is just pure
sugar. I don't think
I would get this again. I would just get
like water or something but it was all
right. I think out of
all the things here, my favorite my
favorite thing we got from
7-Eleven. What was your favorite?
Definitely this curry here like it
actually tasted really good
like this tasted like a meal
that you could maybe eat at a restaurant.
Obviously the portions
a little small because
you are buying it from a convenience
store but the flavor was
there. The egg obviously you
can't have a runny egg in a microwave
meal like that but the
curry was good the rice was good
and it all worked well together so I did
enjoy that. Yeah
for me I'm not a big fan of
Cheetos I don't know why I even got
those. The mochi was just really sweet
and I guess the best
would be the bao bun. If they put a
little less sugar in it I
think it would be so much better
but the way it was it was good at
least the the bun part of it the
white part it wasn't
that sweet so that made it easier to eat
so it kind of balanced it
out but overall wasn't too bad.
I think if you're in a rush or
I think if you're in a rush or
something or if you have a short
break or short lunch
this is a good option because there's so
much selection there like
you see when we were there
like there's a whole wall of just
different foods you can grab for lunch
and microwave meals so
honestly if you go there often you
probably know what's best so true and
I've been to Japan and
Japan's convenience stores are even
better. the selection. yeah the
selection at 7-eleven the same
chain it's amazing. You could have
like warm foods like freshly baked
pastries now yeah and
they're like freshly baked things you can
have fresh baked stuff
yeah I've been there it's been
like two years since I've uh last been to
Japan so my memory might be
a little bit wrong but yeah
I'm pretty sure they had like fresh warm
pastries and stuff yeah but I
definitely think Thailand is
maybe top five, maybe top three countries
7-elevens
they have like a lot
of options like the toasties are an elite
7-eleven food
if you never had one, when you
come to Thailand you need to go and buy a
toastie those are really really good
those are really good
