Always a Good Day for Brunch Brunch is a fun and connective event – a time when we slow things down to enjoy each and every moment. It’s an occasion meant to nurture and nourish each other through food and lighthearted conversation. And “brunching” doesn’t always have to fall on a Sunday – any day is a good day to brunch!

Any day is a good day for the savory combination of smoky meat paired with tender cuts of vegetables. Kalua pork and cabbage certainly delivers on both marks. While it is often eaten as a side dish, nothing is more comforting than a hefty serving of kalua pork and cabbage over two scoops of hot rice. Traditionally, scratch-made kalua pork and cabbage requires time and patience. The pork needs to be cooked low and slow to attain the ultimate juicy, easy to pull apart meat. If time is not on your side, fortunately, there are more convenient alternatives. Our very own Senior Category Manager of

The Perfect, Local Pair

Fresh Foods, Debbie Lee Soon, introduced a Kalua Pork and Cabbage Bento in 2017 and it continues to be available today. She believes the popularity of this bento is because it is familiar and brings comfort. This year, Debbie has added a larger “ohana” size kalua pork and cabbage to our catering menu. 7-Eleven Hawaii uses May’s branded kalua pork for our kalua pork and cabbage. We aim to support local in any way we can whether it be with brands like May’s or with farmers. In fact, our Kalua Pork and Cabbage is topped with chopped green onions f rom Waianae Farms. Kalua pork and cabbage is just one of many nourishing local dishes that 7-Eleven
