Halal Friendly Muslim Foods That You Can Eat in Convenience Store, Korea

Assalammualaikum, everyone!!



I have been in South Korea for 20 days for Kyungpook National University Summer Camp!! I really had so much fun in Korea and now I want to share what foods can you buy if you guys stopped by at their convenience store. For your information, they had so many convenience stores that operated in the country. In Malaysia, we have 7-11, Family Mart and KK Super Mart. In Korea, they have GS25, 7-11, CU, Dongwoo Mart, emart24 and others.

1. Rice / Nasi

If you are Malaysian, of course, you can not live without eating rice in a day. Me too. The price is based on the size and they have the variant texture of rice. So do the price depends on the types of rice. The big cup cost 2500 won. And if you eat less, you can take the small cup which cost 1800 won only.

Price : 1800 won (small)
           2500 won (big)


2. Tuna

This Dong Won brand of Tuna you can eat without a doubt. There is two color, blue and red. Blue for light and original taste. Red is spicy. Buy it and have try!! I usually chose red one with labeled Hot Pepper Tuna. But mehh, doesn't spicy at all to me..

Tuna Price : 2800 won (small)
                    3600 won ( big)



3. Banana Milk

This is the first things that I bought when I arrived in Korea. Also the first things that I excited the most when stopped by at convenience store. Instead of banana milk, they had other flavors such as strawberry, coffee, vanilla and chocolate. They cost 1400 won per each. So cheap!!

Price : 1400 won


4. MELONA Ice-cream

MELONA is a melon-flavored ice pop manufactured by Binggrae Co. This item set the best selling record in the ice pop market in Korea and has remained one of the steadiest sellers. MELONA got halal certified by JAKIM(national halal certification body of Malaysia) March 2015 and has been exported to Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hongkong, Brasil, USA, Canada.
