Family Mart, Japan’s 3rd largest convenience store chain, is finally here in Manila! It opened last April at Glorietta 3, and has since invaded Instagram and Facebook with its many instant fans sharing pictures of their favorite snacks there.
Aside from basic grocery items, Family Mart sells its own ready-to-eat food items like sandwiches and bento meals like cold noodles and Katsudon. Unlike other convenience stores here in Manila, Family Mart‘s ready-to-eat food items are bigger and they look fresh even in sealed packages.
Family Mart‘s bestsellers: the chocolate cookies and Japanese chips!
We bought home 2 packs of chocolate cookies to try: the Panda Chocolate Cookies and Chocolate Crepes. Each pack sells at P88.00 (pang-Japan Home ang price, yey!)
You’ll like the milk chocolate coating in these cookies. They’re of premium quality, almost like Meiji’s.
We haven’t tried the sandwiches and bento meals yet but they make perfect food for picnics and road trips – especially the sandwiches. If only we’re a walk away from Glorietta then I’ll have these as my lunch baon to work.
But you should definitely try the chocolate cookies. I liked the Panda Chocolate Cookies best. These nibblers were perfect for my Twining’s Black Tea with Passion Fruit, Orange and Mango. Having them after dinner became a ritual of sort for me until all of the chocolate cookies were gone, haha!
Family Mart is located at the Ground Level of Glorietta 3, Makati City.
Are the chips, cookies, biscuits all priced t P88/pack?
Hi Mare! I just checked the Family Mart-brand chocolate cookies. They’re all selling at P88 / pack =)
I actually saw a Family Mart at Eastwood, as soon as I saw it I checked it out coz I miss Family Mart in Japan so much! But I was a bit disappointed coz Family Mart’s real bestsellers are not available.
Yes, I agree with you when you said that their real bestsellers are not yet available. Thankfully I am only after the Panda Chocolate Cookies so okey ako for now, hehe! Let’s hope they will bring in the better goodies soon!
We saw one while walking going to Glorietta. Hindi ko alam kung Greenbelt branch ba yun kasi medyo maliit pa. I am wondering if may available silang Japanese ice cream? Yung something different like Korean ice cream na fish-shaped (sorry I forgot the name).
Yung cookies pala don eh parang price lang ng Daiso Japan… 88Php each! Hehe.
Looking forward to visit soon.
