Convenient Store Chinese Meals

Lugang Café is Now Served at 7-Eleven in Microwavable Packaging

— February 16, 2022 — Lifestyle
Lugang Café meals are now available at 7-Eleven stores. Customers can visit the convenience store chain for Chinese cuisine on a budget. The new partnership sparked 7-Eleven's Chef Creations Meals, which includes two chicken dishes from Lugang Café.

7-Eleven offers the meals in microwavable, to-go packaging for added convenience. The restaurant-quality meals available include the Thre Cup Chicken, a sweet-savory chicken glazed with sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine. Lugang's Sweet and Sour Chicken is also on offer, which is made with fried chicken strips coated in Lugang Café's signature sweet and sour sauce.

Both meals are available as single-serve portions and come with steamed white rice. Customers can take the pre-packaged meals home for reheating in the microwave.
