Korean Convenience Store $10 Breakfast at 7 Eleven in Seoul, Korea

Come join us for a Korean Convenience Store $10 breakfast challenge at 7 Eleven just outside of our hotel in Seoul, Korea. At current exchange $10 USD is 12,000 Korean Won and so I headed inside the 7-11 determined to grab as many Korean food items as possible for breakfast without going over. All in all it ended up coming to 11,800 Won so roughly 15 cents wasn't spent.

In terms of what we had for our Korean breakfast from Seven Elevent we got the following food items:
1) Vitamin C Korean Drink (Vita 500 - 비타 500)
2) Korean Rice Rolls (Bulgogi Gimbap - 불고기김밥)
3) Prepackaged Belgian style waffle
4) Korean red bean soft candy bar
5) Korean yogurt drink
6) Korean Rice Triangles with Bibimbap flavor (삼각김밥)
7) Korean prepackaged hot dog
8) Korean cheesecake bun
9) Korean seafood ride porridge (Juk)
I should quickly mention this is anything but a traditional Korean breakfast which would normally consist of a soybean paste soup, rice and side dishes. This is more of contemporary on the go Korean breakfast.

A special thanks to KTO for making this trip possible.

Korean Convenience Store $10 Breakfast at 7 Eleven in Seoul, Korea:
Hey guys! We are Samuel and Audrey, a vlogging travel couple from Canada. In this travel channel we share our travel and food vlogs while touring the world.
Our most recent trip was to South Korea where I embarked upon a two-week adventure without Audrey. Invited as part of a YouTube vlogging trip, organized by KTO, I spent the first week traveling with other YouTubers in Seoul, Busan and Gyeongju. My second week included independent exploration of Korea with my good friend and fellow YouTuber David of DavidsBeenHere.
Having lived and traveled in South Korea, the chance to return to one of my favorite countries was one of the biggest surprises of 2019. On this particular trip, I had an opportunity to do many things I had not previously covered including a visit to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone between South Korea and North Korea), a Buddhist Temple Stay and a Korean cooking class. It was almost as if the program designed by KTO knew exactly what I had missed out on before.
Obviously, a huge highlight from the two weeks I spent revisiting Korea was the food. I feasted on all of my favorite Korean dishes including Korean barbecue, dolsot bibimbap, haemul pajeon, tteokbokki, bulgogi, kimbap and many others. I can honestly say that Korean food is world-class and is one of my top 5 favorite cuisines in the world. Aside from trying familiar dishes, I had the opportunity to sample raw Korean seafood for the first time.
While visiting Seoul, highlights included going to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Namsan Seoul Tower, Jogyesa Temple and Hongdae. As one of the biggest cities in the world, I barely scratched the surface of things to do in Seoul.
Spending extended time in Busan was my favorite part about the trip with top highlights including a Korean temple stay, fresh fish markets and a Korean baseball game. It was from Busan that we ended up taking a day-trip to Daegu where we enjoyed a traditional Korean market and tried Galbi-Jjim for the first time.
