Must-Try Food Items At FamilyMart Malaysia

1. Oden

The FamilyMart classics, oden is a must-try at least once. Available in Original (dashi) and local favourite Tom Yam broth, these skewers of goodness are flavourful and incredibly addictive. Get it with the udon set and you’ve got yourself a simple but delicious meal!

How to order oden in FamilyMart:

Go to the oden counter and let the attendant know which broth you want. Pick the oden skewers of your choice and have it ready to eat or to-go. Pay at the counter and dig in!

FamilyMart oden menu:

List of oden choices: Udon, shabu noodle, atjisuke tamago, daikon (radish), corn, mini snow crab cake, seafood tofu fish cake, crab fish cake, veggie fish cake, king crab chunk, Korean odeng fish cake, lobster ball, chicken ball, white fish ball, fried fish ball, fish cake slice

The atjisuke tamago (marinated soft-boiled egg) won’t be found in the oden cooker since it’s stored separately, so don’t be afraid to ask for it! Pssst, you can also add on noodles to complete your meal.

2. Dessert Sandwiches

While dessert sandwiches may sound strange or unfamiliar, don’t let it deter you from trying them out. So, get yourself a sando, a Japanese dessert sandwich filled with fruit, cream and various other toppings. Trust us, you won’t regret trying them!

3. Onigiri

A quintessential Japanese rice snack, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to onigiri in FamilyMart. From the classic favourites like tuna mayo, salmon, and ebiko, you can also find a myriad of other flavours. You can frequently find limited edition onigiri every few months.

One recent addition is the Power Onigiri, a tempting Chicken and Egg Hawaiian Musubi that consists of a juicy chicken meatloaf marinated in teriyaki sauce, paired with a fried egg and green coral!

4. Mini Basque Burnt Cheesecake [new]

First introduced in June 2020, FamilyMart's Mini Basque Burnt Cheesecake quickly become a crowd-favourite. Available at only RM4.50, this treat may seem tiny but promises creaminess and satisfaction for your tastebuds. From 14 Oct - 24 Nov 2020, you will be able to get one layered with a Chocolate Cheesecake at the bottom!

5. Creamy Cheesy Snow Crab Croissant [new]

This one's another pretty new addition to the FamilyMart family! This yummy, flaky croissant is filled with addictive creamy snow crab and cheese, and is definitely a must-try for cheese lovers.

6. Soft Serve Ice-Cream

Creamy and indulgent, the soft serve (sofuto) in FamilyMart is easily one of the most famous treats you have to try! While you can find the Matcha flavour all year round, they’ve been knowns to release seasonal flavours from time to time. In the past, there have been unique flavours like coconut, cheese, melon, sweet potato and more.

7. Frappe

This lesser-known drink in FamilyMart certainly deserves more recognition! To get your instant frappe drink, get your Cookie Frappe base from the freezer. Bring it to the counter and choose your flavour of choice (milk, coffee, or chocolate). Once the hot liquid has been added in, you’ve got your frappe without needing a blender!

8. Savoury Sandwiches

Aside from the sweet sandwiches, there are also your typical sandwiches in FamilyMart like egg mayo, meatball sub, chicken slice sandwich and more. FamilyMart also constantly introduces seasonal sandwiches like ayam percik sandwich during the Raya period!

9. Hanjuku Cheese

If the thought of getting a whole cheesecake sounds jelak, you can still enjoy the treat with the Hanjuku Cheese from FamilyMart. This half-baked Japanese-style cheesecake has a rich & creamy cheese center.

10. Swiss Roll Slice

Moist spongey cake wrapped around a generous helping of flavoured cream, the Swiss roll slices in FamilyMart come in Matcha and Chocolate flavours. It’s the perfect size for a treat!

11. Hot Dog Buns

Not like any regular hot dogs, the ones in FamilyMart are topped with either Bolognese sauce or egg mayo. They’re basically instant comfort food in a box!

12. Mini Desserts

For those with a sweet tooth, it’s hard not to be tempted by their mini desserts. You can find a selection of single-serving desserts from Strawberry Shortcake to Chocolate Mousse, Matcha Parfait, Original Pudding, and more.
