Malaysia FamilyMart can't compare with the ones in Japan. In the beginning, it used to be good but i think lately the standard has drop but the sofuto, oden and some of the sandwiches & onigiri is still good.
@@hawaandroid2786 When any franchise came in, it will remain good for a year when the management from it's original country was here. After that it will just drop in quality then the staffs attitude will starts to go haywire being rude and reckless. I mean... just look at how many international brand come in already, most of them was like that🤷♀️
Familymart food is expensive and not great. Definitely not Japanese level. I bought a ham and cheese sandwich once and was shocked when I opened the sandwich. The ham and cheese was folded to make the visible side look full but the half the sandwich was empty. Also tried their Japanese curry rice, the taste was not good and the portion was very little. I only like their sofuto ice-cream and oden. I used to like their ham bun then realised it doesn't need to be refrigerated but can be kept for 4 days so it's probably soaked in preservatives.
Family mart the stuff cheap in Japan. Bento boxes are awesome. I can imagine how disappointed Japanese must be when they patronize Family Mart in Malaysia, not expecting it to be similar to Japan.
No,is that just you,to me family mart malaysia food still good to eat,i always buy at Family is still good not like what you said it,yes is bit expansive,however i can still full why the food
Thank u for reviewing Malaysia Family mart Ghib san as a Mlysian i personally prefer CU mart over Family mart I know its korean but the ready made food feels fresher & the tteokbokki is top notch. But you're right the Tom yam Udon is definitely worth the trip🤤
Tteokbokki sedap, tapi tak original macam korea’s. Sini punya lembut sangat, tak berapa chewy and tak berapa bouncy. Selalu i beli tuna kimbab dgn bulgogi kimbab, ayam dia sedap juga.
Wow, it's great that you went to the very 1st family mart store in Malaysia. If I'm on a budget, I actually don't mind eating the ready meals in family mart. I have eaten many times as well and my favourite ready meal is cheese hamburg chiki with mushroom sauce & rice coz it reminds me of Japan! But I don't see it selling in family mart anymore 😭 Now I will just go there for their onigiri, sausages & sofuto.
It depends on which family mart you went, like the one i went in paradigm mall in kl has more japanese snacks. The freshness and quality also really depends on the location. But my fav to go is oden, egg mayo sandwich, latte and pokka coffee. Avoid any rice and pasta >> meals I really hope you try nasi lemak ayam pandan and mee raja tomyam at murni discovery
I think the price is a little bit steep for Malaysians but good recommendations nevertheless. This is my favorite go-to supermarket when I was in Japan
Thanks for the review. I don’t like eating rice with cheese so I’m safe lol. Anyway I only go to FM for the matcha ice cream and the oden. Should be safe enough 😂😂
Franchises from overseas tend to have their standard drop when they enter malaysia. Not just family mart, it's the same for nandos, kfc (original), taco Bell, just to name a few
I thought usually long queues for FamilyMart cuz for the limited flavor sofuto ice-cream, not Tom Yum oden. 😂😂😂 I just love the sofuto ice-cream. 😆👍 it's a shame for not enough Japanese snacks to try.
The banana cake from Fami is one of the best local banana cakes I have ever tried. The next time you’re there, try it and you will know what I mean. Tastes quite natural with high banana content.
Hi Ghib! I am also in KL right now! Where are you going tomorrow haha! And yes, I visited a few family marts in Malaysia already. You absolutely cannot compare it with Japan, I go Japan like 5-6 times a year for work. I have a pretty good idea too…. The Malaysian selection is very very limited and don’t showcase much of a Japanese vibe. It’s like a very toned down 7-11 only… same same
@@missplainjane3905 wow that’s a lot of questions…. Are you a Japanese? Anyway, here goes…. 1) I do not really consider Japan to be very developed or highly advanced honestly, they still have many parts of the country left behind in terms of thinking and understanding the world. Except for of course big cities like Tokyo or Osaka… foreigner resistant… 2)The culture wins big time I must admit… 10 Technology is world class yes but they are very used to keeping old practices and technology. Paper culture…8 Architecture is good! 8 Local products and produce is obviously very different from many other countries. It’s is awesome! 9 The scenery and nature is amazing 10 and standard of living is not there if I were to compare my own country… singapore. 7 Overall characteristic of Japanese are very helpful and polite but it is not too friendly probably due to the language barrier. If I have a word for Japan, FOOD/ CULTURE/ WEATHER GOOD!
@@missplainjane3905 I think you got me wrong. Japan is still a first world country. It has good infrastructures and is connected to the world. But what I am trying to tell you is that there are parts of it I feel is still under developed in terms of mindset and how they feel towards the rest of the world. In summary, it has a lot of contradictions…
Yes, their foods are either hits or misses. The oden daikon is my fav and luckily never disappoints. The sesame mochi bun is nice too. Thanks to you, now i want to try the Mala chicken onigiri and mochi puff 😁
We Malaysians love family mart. Singapore should have family mart as well. when i went to sjngapore there's only 7eleven. But 7eleven food was quite ok.
Famima Oden is the besttttttttt, my go to when I head back to KL always ~ would love to try their other bento food! But that frozen gyudon.. definitely no.
To be frank, malaysian restaurants started putting sugar on everything in the late 90s. Before that it had an authentic taste without much sugar. Even the sambal nasi lemak was not so sweet.
Your wife saying “later you laosai” when you were trying the cheese baked gyudon is hilarious 😂 On another note - never knew that family mart is from Japan! Always thought it was from South Korea
For a ready to eat convenience store, i prefer CU mart although it's a korean convenience store...Family mart quality has been dropped since CU mart appeared in Malaysia...best ready to eat definitely CU mart
I have worked at Family Mart before, and Yes the cheese baked gyudon and the other frozen series that you can only order through the counter are kept in freezers, that is to make sure that they are well preserved and upon order they are reheated in the microwave for about 2-3 minutes. For me I agree that it is definitely not worth the price. If it was like around RM8-10 then maybe I might consider getting it, but apparently while working there that is a very hot item as we always run out of it
If you visited Japan, you would realize Japanese products imported and sold to other countries costs 3x the price more than in japan, or cost even more in European countries.
15:54 min. This creamed cheese pie looks nice. Why you review so many Japanese food in a family mart. Will there be an influx of Japanese tourists to Malaysia soon?
Once again, as usual, there's so much food and it's amazing Ghib san can eat sooo much 🙉🤔! As for the presence of family mart in SG, me also asking the same question (why not in SG), LoL. My guess is SG combini is dominated by NTUC Cheers and 7-11, so the market is saturated. Just my thots. Thanks for the hard work again 🙏❤️,
Wow that Gyudon is seriously disappointing. Totally unacceptable. Thanks for reviewing Ghib-san. I will stay away from Malaysia Famima Gyudon from now on.
I only get sofutos and onigiri at Famima as I considered those tasty and affordable. Some items are too expensive, in my opinion as a Malaysian. The hot dishes are not that good. I'm pretty sure the Japanese Famima have higher quality items (but less spicy!) 👍
i went to multiple country family mart,i think malaysia family mart food is the worst. The oden have to pay for the soup rm2thats crazy the soup is ajinomoto soup. And the bento portion is worst
Definitely not worth it. And from the looks from the shelves, is minimal on the food and canned drinks section but the rest is ok.. Not a choice to good if at Malaysia. And no tiny bottled hard liquors like the ones in Taiwan or Japan.
It will be a wrong business model to copy 100% Japanese taste as they will not suit with the locals. As an example Malaysians like sweeter or spicier. If not the taste will be dull & as your targetted consumers are Malaysians, your business will be doomed. So the reason for the Family Mart to sustain and expand their presence is clearly because they adapt to locals’ needs, not Japenese.
Hi Ghib コンビニ 行きたい ね,, i like the Family mart n 7:11, when i japan i like their snack,, your face looks like 鬼👹🤣from that karai onigiri,, btw today i went to FieldSeas at toapayoh n bought wagyu burger patty n papua coffee drip , i told the guy to follow Ghib ojisan, n he did follow the FB but he doesnt hv youtube,, Anyway 楽しいかた Ghib the vlog,, missing japan コンビニ 😢、😅
The whole video is about food and nothing else. Since you are in KL, can you do like a vlog to show the adventures of KL? It will be more interesting content
Hi ghib, I like how you are able to express more on the negative aspect about the food. Because now i feel its more realistic and funny 🤣...
How I wish you collaborate more with Team Ichang. The vid you guys made together in KL. Crack me up 😂😂. It was so funny and entertaining 👍
Lol your wife saying you might lao sai had me cracking up 🤣
Me too, it was subtle but Ghib San either not hearing or this is my job le!

family mart in Malaysia is so hard to compare to the ones in Japan. even their Aeon mall is hard to compare. only thing that same is the name only.
Maybe because they had to stick with halal products.
Some Family Mart locations in place with lots of tourist will had part of food that not halal.

Because it’s made in Malaysia
I just went to the osaka one it was amazing. The Madeline was unforgettable. I was shocked to see msia one was so shit.
@@ning3092 the bentos were great! saved a lot of money eating bentos from conbini stores in Japan :)

Family Mart malaysia truly have downgrade a lot. They used to be so amazing with the quality. Sad to see how it become
Because the manager is ethnic chinese from singapore
Since when werre they on par with Japan? Always been inferior since day 1 , but I'm still glad it's here.

"why is there no familymart in Singapore", what I have been thinking about for years. 😂
Wait , not even 1 family mart in SG 😅
They probably think "Eh, they're not that far from Johor" 🤣
Why do we need Japanese branded mart while we have our own brand !?
@@el3732 well, all I want from family mart is the oden. ;P
I have never bought any real meals from family mart malaysia. They are expensive and low quality. Nowadays they are also known for overworked staff.
Thanks for the review. I don’t like eating rice with cheese so I’m safe lol. Anyway I only go to FM for the matcha ice cream and the oden. Should be safe enough 😂😂
Recently the new 7-11 cafe mart has Matcha and Yuzu ice cream which can rival CU and FM. Worth a try
Thanks for showing this review and now i know what to order and try😊
Glad it was helpful!

6:36 *cough in pain* 'Not to spicy' lol
Does Family Mart allow refund if the food is bad?
Hope Family Mart will open their outlet in Singapore too
life's unanswered qns… 250 outlets in msia but none in sg..
We Malaysians love family mart. Singapore should have family mart as well. when i went to sjngapore there's only 7eleven. But 7eleven food was quite ok.
9:55 "Later you lao sai huh" 🤣 Your wifey's comments are priceless!
Famima Oden is the besttttttttt, my go to when I head back to KL always ~ would love to try their other bento food! But that frozen gyudon.. definitely no.
I usually don't order the pre-packaged food, because it's usually not fresh and microwaved.
10数年前に旅行で上海へ行った際滞在してた宿のすぐ隣にファミマあったわ。
Yea, I like family mart triple chocolate buns, fast foods, desserts and oden. For bento, I will purchase garlic fried rice only.
Where is the location of this Family Mart?
You can have ramen with the tomyam soup and oden. That combo is my lunch.
They have Luffy, And Oden!! 😂😂
#BringFamilyMartToSG
To be frank, malaysian restaurants started putting sugar on everything in the late 90s. Before that it had an authentic taste without much sugar. Even the sambal nasi lemak was not so sweet.
Still way much better than any sinaporean bland food
Lack of Japanese snacks probably because most of it were non halal.
Ghib, since you & wifey are in KL, would be nice if you could drop by Genting Highland and give your views of the place & food there.
I would love to visit there someday!
If they can do Egg Salad sandwich same same like in Japan I will buy
It’s pretty good though had it in malacca
Your wife saying “later you laosai” when you were trying the cheese baked gyudon is hilarious 😂
On another note - never knew that family mart is from Japan! Always thought it was from South Korea
Korea is CU
Ghib: "Why ah?" You have clearly been Singaporean-fied
Sounds China
For a ready to eat convenience store, i prefer CU mart although it's a korean convenience store...Family mart quality has been dropped since CU mart appeared in Malaysia...best ready to eat definitely CU mart
In Malaysia we have FM Japan n CU Mart from Korea..
Cut corners family mart in malaysia
7-11 and family mart in HK China Taiwan very good service
Taiwan ones are so very good
Local culture. Lol
Because the manager is ethnic chinese from singapore that is why the kiasuness
Is this family mart near to holiday inn express hotel?
Yeah all family mart fresh foods are made under QL Kitchen at Shah Alam

I think the snacks are imported direct from japan the reason it didnt change in term of flavor
If someone imports items from konbini in Japan, they can certainly open a restaurant selling those items and charge twice the price
If you visited Japan, you would realize Japanese products imported and sold to other countries costs 3x the price more than in japan, or cost even more in European countries.
@@Sephira08 indeed, I trust the quality in Japan
I only eat desserts and sweet stuffs at Familymart Malaysia.
Next is Thai Family Mart!!!
No convince store food in the world would top the ones in Japan. Quality, prices…No comparison! They would even beat SG hawker food for me 😅
Sg hawker food is garbage
Family saya jika ke family mart antara benda yang wajib diaorang beli, frappe cokelat, oden cheese.
Wow Japanese understand the term 'lao sai' lol
Pls go Lawson Philippines and 7-11 Thailand next to do reviews
Must come to Kuching first before going to Singapore. Kuching is part of Malaysia, and yet.....we have waited till the cows come home.
15:54 min. This creamed cheese pie looks nice. Why you review so many Japanese food in a family mart. Will there be an influx of Japanese tourists to Malaysia soon?
I think generally the rice product is not so good because the rice they use are not the good quality type. To maximise profit.
i went Family mart is for their tomyam oden 😋
does this mean Family Mart coming to Singapore soon ???????

ghib doesnt go to sabah to eat seafood, he will be impressed on todak place but just be careful the price could hike for foreigner
Only goes for drinks and sofuto..try the others but kinda pricey for the taste..mamak got 24 hours cook meal..😆
Its really rare to see japanese speak english so much..
This Japanese had an American upbringing.
They usually speak like ichang
500yen for the cheese baked gyudon? Noooooooooooooo
Reckon that has been 'overdone' in the microwave by the staff.
7-11, CU, family mart. We hv choices. No worries. Just go lalaport.
I agree. The rice in onigiri is too dry

It was good!
I only buy the ice creams. Everything else I don't bother. FamilyMart is overpriced.
That microwave dark looking food is disgusting 🤮
Malaysia family mart is run by QL resources . I do agree being a Japanese the standard of Japan vs Malaysia is huge. But I guess you can't win it all
i went to multiple country family mart,i think malaysia family mart food is the worst. The oden have to pay for the soup rm2thats crazy the soup is ajinomoto soup. And the bento portion is worst
Yes the convenience stores in Malaysia are not great. 7-11, Family Mart, emart, CU.. all same same.
Only fan of the fammart oden. Other stuffs like the mochi puff is too sweet, bentos etc uh regret buying it.
Spicy chicken from family so tastei already eat it,really best
Daikon = White Raddish = Lobak putih
hahaha its ok nippon brader.im going family mart only buy nuts also drink.hehehe cause family mart food japanese sytle bit expensive.hehe
Unfortunately no family mart outlets in east coast of peninsula Malaysia, Kelantan, Terengganu & Pahang.. 😢
Kat pahang ada di mentakab dan temerloh.
Raub pahang also got family mart
If the price is same with Japan means it's cheap in Japan but expensive in Malaysia lol. The cheese baked gyudon looks awful!!
Don't convert.The prices should compare to MY minimum salary there.
Singapore no family mart??
Unfortunately, none 🥲
Malaysia Family Mart is just not the same anymore with their agressive expansion.
If you don't stick to the original, why bother to say it's Japanese food.
Family mart food is not even great. I go to CU Mart instead. Why? The sandwich is half filled in family mart.
The prices are too expensive
Hati hati dengan makanan disana bang banyak yang kadaluarsa
Definitely not worth it. And from the looks from the shelves, is minimal on the food and canned drinks section but the rest is ok..
Not a choice to good if at Malaysia.
And no tiny bottled hard liquors like the ones in Taiwan or Japan.
🗿i just go family mart to buy onigiri and sandwiches
I find this interesting considering how there's always a Malaysian in food videos claiming Malaysia food is better 🤣
