Following the success of their previous Chef Creations Collection releases (see more on my earlier post, Satisfy Your K-Ravings with the Savory New Additions to the 7-Eleven Chef Creations x Romantic Baboy On-The-Go Korean Meals from early this year), 7-Eleven is back with a solid new lineup to tease and satisfy your appetite and craving without busting your wallet. 

From the earlier Thai and Korean inspired flavors of the Chef  Creations Collection, 7-Eleven explores the bold yet comforting notes of authentic Japanese style curry with its new Japanese Curry Party Lineup. With prices ranging from P 129 to P 139, you can now enjoy a serious Japanese style curry meal at your nearest 7-Eleven branch for a satisfying meal with real flavors and unmatched value. Where else can you find restaurant-quality meals at budget-friendly prices? That's right. Only at 7-Eleven. 

Innovation and collaboration have always been the secret behind many of the successful offerings of 7-Eleven, and the new Japanese Curry Party Lineup continues this much-anticipated tradition. The latest offering features both value and authenticity in a savory and satisfying curry meal  that just hits the right spots for that fast curry fix. The rich curry sauce ties all the variants together, made by one of Japan's largest curry manufacturers. 

The Japanese label House Foods brings its signature curry sauce to the latest Chef Creations Collection of 7-Eleven with its distinctive aroma and robust flavors from the savory medley of caramelized onions, roasted garlic, miso and cardamom in a complex yet comfortingly soothing blend. The world's largest manufacturer of Japanese curry, House Foods of Japan has long been known for its wide and diverse offerings of specialty curry products for nearly a century. And it's this traditional and authentic curry sauce that makes the newest Japanese Curry Party Lineup from the Chef Creations Collection of 7-Eleven special. It's no wonder the newest Chef Creations Collection has the nod of approval of Let's Eat Pare, an online community of foodies on FB and reliable and popular source of information for the latest foodie finds. 

They say the proof is in the pudding or in this case, the curry so let's start with the 7-Eleven Chicken Karaage Curry (P 129). Just a few minutes in the microwave and your Japanese chicken karaage curry feast is ready...

Once you open the lid, the fragrant and mouthwatering aroma of Japanese curry teases the nose and palate for the first of many sensory experiences from the newest Chef Series Collection of 7-Eleven. First, the portions are generous with a mound of juicy and mildly crisp chicken karaage on steamed fragrant white rice draped in the rich Japanese curry. 

A bite of the chicken karaage brings the familiar play of contrasting textures to the palate perfectly paired with a spoonful of steamed white rice. Then, the flavors of the Japanese curry takes over to bind everything together with each savory bite. Authentic Japanese curry is said to have very little resemblance to any other curry with deeper flavors rounded out by just a hint of sweetness and a whisper of soothing heat. And it pairs perfectly with the delicate notes of the chicken karaage for a hearty and satisfying meal. Garnished with pickled yellow radish for that vibrant burst of sweet tartness, the new Chicken Karaage Curry packs solid flavors for a fast, quick and convenient feast with unbeatable value. 

Who doesn't love a crisp and juicy slab of pork katsu? The Pork Katsu Curry from the Japanese Curry Party Lineup of 7-Eleven's Chef Creations Collection is another savory number of curry goodness. 

The thick and juicy slab of breaded deep-fried pork cutlet on steamed white rice is a tempting sight and you dive right in. Like the Chicken Karaage Curry, the Pork Katsu Curry brings both textural contrasts and flavors with each bite. The subtle hint of sweetness from the lightly crisp pork cutlet pairs well with the curry sauce as you go for another spoonful of rice. 

Quality, flavor and value for money combine for a seriously unbeatable proposition, and 7-Eleven has another winner on the shelves with the new Japanese Curry Party Lineup. Now, are you ready for the Hamburg Steak Curry? 

I enjoyed both the Chicken Karaage Curry and Pork Katsu Curry, but my personal pick is the Hamburg Steak Curry. Can't beat a thick and juicy richly seasoned beef patty on soft rice slathered in curry sauce. But 7-Eleven goes a step further slapping the beef patty with cheese. Can it get any better than this? 

The juicy beef patty is perfectly seasoned enhancing the flavors of the beef with the curry and cheese delivering a quick one-two punch of flavors. The multiple layers of flavor come together seamlessly with each bite with the full-bodied notes of the curry providing the perfect finish. Beef, curry, rice and cheese. That's one satisfying combo you just can't pass up.

7-Eleven has done it again with the new Japanese Curry Party Lineup providing fast, hearty and convenient meals at reasonable price points. 

Through the years, we've seen 7-Eleven bring a variety of cuisines closer to the 'hood at prices that's easy on the pocket. It's the quality and value equation that keeps 7-Eleven top-of-mind for fast, affordable and tasty meals. The new Japanese Curry Party Lineup is a welcome addition to the Chef Creations Collection at 7-Eleven, and you'll find a satisfying curry meal at a location near you (the new offerings are available in Luzon branches). 

Now it's your turn. Beef, pork or chicken? Take your pick from the new Japanese Curry Party Lineup at 7-Eleven and enjoy a satisfying and affordable curry fix.
