Chef Creations | Bicol Express (Davao Edition)

The Chef Creations range of dishes in collaboration with well-known restaurants or award-winning chefs makes 7-Eleven on top of how convenience stores stack up. For forty years 7-Eleven has still been ahead of the competition when it comes to truly diverse rice meals consumers have a lot to choose from. Previously, there have been minor nitpicks on how 7-Eleven approaches their product in terms of packaging design and the amount of food that goes hand-in-hand with the price point. You’ll never know until you discover how the products are presented in regional areas at the same time if the food that came with it is the same product too.
