7/11 Convenience Store Finds - Breakfast Meal: Pork Tocino

 7/11 Convenience Store Finds - Breakfast Meal: Pork Tocino


Since we are still on quarantine - in fact, we were reverted back to a Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine since August 4, 2020 partly to address the heed of the medical professionals for a timeout due to the surge in the number of COVID-19 cases here in the Philippines, access to food has become inconvenient especially when you're working in a used to be a busy commercial district.


Good thing the 7/11 convenience store near my working place is still open. And when you're in a budget, I think the food here is a to-go-to. I'll be featuring foods that I'll find here and I'll start with a consistent favorite: Pork Tocino which can be bought for 60 pesos.

The Breakfast Meal Pork Tocino consists of Garlic rice, sunny-side up egg, and thinly sliced Pork Tenderloin. For the taste, it is the same as your usual tocilog meal that was a bit boiled then fried. It has a net weight of 236 grams. The label also states to heat and consume immediately upon purchase.
