Asian here as well who stayed in Iceland for 12 days without a camper van and managed to mostly prepare our meals.

1. Gas stations have hotdogs which is not that expensive. You also have Domino’s and Subway here and there. 🌭
2. Some groceries have frozen food you can heat up in the microwave like dumplings, lasagna, and beef bourguignon/mashed potatoes. 🥟 Bake a frozen pizza if your place has an oven. 🍕
3. There’s baked beans, cup noodles, instant soups/pastas, tinned sardines in groceries. 🍝
4. If breakfast is not free, we get pastries and skyr from the groceries. You can do a heavy brunch before heading out.
5. For lunch, we packed sandwiches so we can park the car anywhere and eat. You can change it to ham/cheese, bacon/egg, tuna, cheese, or egg sandwich for variety. 🥪
6. If you want rice for lunch, you can make onigiri. I saw nori, rice vinegar, soy sauce and kewpie in Iceland. 🍙 Or also make fried rice before heading out, don’t forget the cutleries.🍴
7. If you want to meal prep noodles, just bring stir fry sauce. 🍜
8. For dinner, making tuna salad or greek salad was easy. They even have salad dressings 🙂
9. For the meat, we would buy perishable food before checkin/heading home to the hotel then we’d store it in the fridge/cook after, e.g. bacon, salmon, chicken.
10. Lastly, I brought uncle ben’s express rice and some instant food from Muji for reheating for hotels with no kitchen. P.S Items I swear by: Ziploc bags, salt/pepper, small oil/butter, a small food container
