If you've ever struggled to find convenient plant-based options at convenience stories, things are about to change. 7-Eleven has teamed up with Green Monday, a pioneer of plant-based food in Asia, to launch a range of plant-based meals, including ready-to-eat and classic dim sum dishes in over 700 stores, as well as over 30 plant-based snacks in 150 stores.
This is great news for vegans and those who opt for a health-conscious diet as the new ready-to-eat meals from OmniEat, made from OmniPork, are free from added preservatives and MSG. The meals will be available exclusively at 7-Eleven and include reimagined cha chaan teng classics such as OmniPork strip spaghetti in black pepper sauce and OmniPork strip rice vermicelli with sesame in teriyaki sauce.
Every Hong Kongers' favourite (or guilty pleasure) street food snack will also be one of the OmniEat snacks. You can enjoy plant-based versions of classic snacks reimagined as OmniEat siu mai and OmniEat crystal dumplings which will be free from cholesterol and trans-fat. Plant-based beverages such as Califia Farms chocolate and unsweetened oat drinks will be dropping in small-sized bottles.
