| Burger Steak is a mainstream dish popularize worldwide originating from Germany courtesy of migrants from that country. The people of Hamburg developed a dish of minced meat that was molded into the shape of a steak and then grilled and served with gravy dating back to the 18th century.
Nowadays, you can find Burger Streak anywhere in the world and in the Philippines it has been localized that a certain fast food chain has made it into their signature meal. 7 Eleven, however takes the Burger Steak to a new level, and made it into a vegetarian delicacy in collaboration with UnMEAT that became available sometime in 2021. |
The veggie burger trend has been slowly catching up to the Philippine food industry, and it started as an expensive type of burger, where it is not exactly meat they’re a proprietary blend of soy protein, vegetable oil, vinegar, salt, wheat, starch, spices, and natural flavors. It is being promoted to be a plant-based protein designed to look, cook, feel, and taste like meat without the meat.
7 Eleven launched this product along with the UnMEAT Burger, and it took off that became a hot seller for the convenient store. It is mostly sold out around the time of its availability leaving the UnMEAT Burger on their shelves. The way it appears like this was a sure fire favourite and they did better in making this compared to their other dishes that’s above there as always being sold out.
Un-Meaty Frozen Meal
There’s nothing like a plant-based meal to start your day, and 7 Eleven delivered with collaboration with UnMEAT to bring this to the mainstream. The packaging itself is like the same ones you see with their previous products, but the image certainly show that whatever you get it is the one in the contents.
You slide the cardboard cover and see it vacuum sealed with goodness right out of the bat, and it definitely shows how 7 Eleven has put premium and put quality to their product, which shows they’re pushing the envelope in making high quality for affordable price to masses to enjoy this type of product with health benefits.
Going Meaty Green
These days you just need to go healthy, and the only way is to go green, namely plant-based diets that is a little bit rare for this country. Most of the fast food restaurants don’t have any green on their meal. 7 Eleven stays relevant in making it possible for them to make their own product like this and it shows they’re not stopping there.
When you open this it appears to be dull and not as what the product photo is showing, but as soon as you take out of the microwave there’s that brown thick and tasty UnMEAT patty swimming in that juicy gravy with all the mushroom in it. For something that looks expensive this was just less than you’d expect in a Burger Steak.
Overall the UnMEAT Burger Steak was not stingy in aesthetic and taste, and 7 Eleven delivered a winner with this new product that they keep the consistency on the quality. It is always sold out in most 7 Eleven stores, and this was a rare chance to have something that looks like an authentic Burger Streak that is actually a meatless product for the ones who want to go green.
