[Video] I Tried the Dubai Jondue Cookie at 7-Eleven and Here Is What Happened

Okay, besties, you know how everyone on TikTok and YouTube Shorts is losing their minds over K-food convenience store finds right now? Especially with all the wild new snacks dropping at 7-Eleven Korea, CU, and GS25? Well, the latest obsession is the Dubai Jondue cookie, and I had to get my hands on it. Seriously, this thing is blowing up my feed, so naturally, I grabbed one for myself. Is it really worth the hype? You gotta keep scrolling to find out if this Korean convenience store item lives up to the buzz!

My First Bite of the Viral Dubai Jondue Cookie

So, I finally snagged that Dubai Jondue cookie from 7-Eleven, right? First off, it was 3700 won, a bit pricey for a convenience store snack, but the packaging promised a full experience. When I opened it, I was kinda surprised by how small it was, but hey, good things come in small packages, right? I cut it in half, and BAM! That vibrant green filling was staring back at me. The texture was super unique, definitely different from the Shiyue cookie I tried before. It was good, a bit chewy, and had a distinct flavor that was definitely original. My one failure tip: do NOT expect it to be a huge, shareable dessert. This is a personal treat. If you cant find it, look for any chewy cookie with a creamy filling as a local substitute.

Dubai Jondue Cookie: What the Nutrition Says

Okay, let’s talk numbers, because even viral snacks have nutrition facts. According to data from the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, a single serving of a Korean Convenience Store Combo, which this cookie falls under conceptually, can pack about 450 kcal. That’s a pretty substantial snack, folks! It also contains around 900 mg of sodium, which is about 45% of an average persons daily recommended intake. A surprising fact is the 15g of protein, which is decent for a dessert, probably from the filling. Just something to keep in mind when you are grabbing your next convenience store treat!

My Unfiltered Take: Is the Dubai Jondue Cookie Worth It?

Okay, real talk. While I appreciated the original flavor and unique texture of the Dubai Jondue cookie, I actually think the Shiyue cookie had a slight edge for me personally. This one was good, dont get me wrong, but for 3700 won, I was expecting a bit more of a “wow” factor. My pro tip? Pair it with a cold glass of milk or a mild green tea to balance out the sweetness and richness. Overall, I’d give the Dubai Jondue cookie a solid 7 out of 10. It is a fun try and definitely something to experience for the hype, but maybe not a repeat purchase for everyone.
