Marabou Not Choklad (Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts)

This chocolate is available at IKEA. It is a tad too sweet for me. The texture of the chocolate is not as good as the Cadbury kind. But still acceptable.



Ingredients Sugar, hazelnuts (17%), cocoa butter, skimmed milk powder, cocoa mass, milk fat, whey powder, emulsifier (soya lecithin), flavouring. Milk Chocolate contains milk solids 14% minimum and cocoa solids 30% minimum. May contain traces of other nuts, egg and wheat.

Lotte Maeungirl Masigun/ Hot

One look and it'll reminds you of onion rings. I'm not a fan of onions, but I do enjoy munching on onion ring chips. This one has lesser taste of onion and its slightly spiced. However there wasn't much of a punch when I had my first bite into it.

Just another Korea snacks.





Ingredients:
Wheat, flour, refined process fat and oil, corn starch, potato powder and onion

Orion Squid & Peanut Snack

This is one great snack to go with beer and good card game. Crunchy and quite nice. The squid taste on the outside surrounding the peanut is fragrant and if you're a squid lover, can give this one a try.

Bought this at the Korean snack shop at Burlington Square, next to Sim Lim Square.





Ingredients:
Peanut (32%), wheat flour, starch, white sugar, edible oil and squid (3%).

Product of Republic of Korea.

Haitai Homerun - Ball Snack

Cute and bright packaging attracted me to bring one home. But after my first ball, I didn't quite want to continue with a second one.

The outside was soft and it does not appeal to my taste. The chocolate filling inside is not sweet nor tasty. Not recommended.

However, if you would still like to try this snack, you can chill it first and let the chocolate inside harden a little before consumption. It'll taste slightly better.







Ingredients:
Cocoa powder (3%), white sugar, egg liquid, shortening and margarine.

Public of Republic of Korea.

In the early 80's, I ate the most delicious famous Red Paper Packaged Wafers that comes entirely coated with either Chocolate or Milk Cream. I'm eating one as I type now.

Farmland Oregon Fresh Potato Chips (Wasabi)

More and more brands are adding wasabi to their chips and nuts. My favorite are the Tai Sun Wasabi Chips and another brand from Japan where they have the wasabi peas. So when I saw Farmland's new wasabi chips, I just had to grab one and try. They only come in the big bags so I'd no choice but to get it.

After few chips, I got sick of it. It's not as much wasabi taste as those by Tai Sun. And the chips are not as cripsy as those by Lays. I wouldn't recommend this as its not one of the better ones I'd tried so far.

Meiji Macadamia (Macadamia Nut Choco)

This is one chocolate worth buying! It's not too sweet and the inside is filled with whole macadamia nuts! Not with one but two nuts! This should also be the reason why the chocolate is not that sweet.

I love this snack and highly recommend everyone to try! Unless you're either allergy to chocolate or nuts.

Ovalteenies (Choco Malt Tablet)

... with Activ8 Power + Zinc

Another of my favorite childhood snack! It's seldom I got to drink Ovalteen but whenever I feel like drinking it, I would just buy a pack of Ovalteenies to suck and munch. It's almost the same as the real drink! Also like the drink itself, it's full of vitamins and minerals!

Comparing Ovalteenies with Horlicks Malties, I prefer the Horlicks as its not as sweet as the Ovalteenies.

What about you? Were you one of those that grew up in the times of Ovalteenies craze?

Meiji Panky Chocolate

The thing that tempted me to buy this box of chocolate is the small illustration behind which shows that the chocolate was filled with bits of baked bread loaf. Presuming that it'll be crispy when bite into the pieces, I bought it. Later to discover that its not as crispy as I'd thought it'll be. The chocolate is the same as any other Meiji chocolates.

Not something which I'll buy again.

Meiji Drippy

Biscuit stick with choco cream dip or Biscuit stick with strawberry cream dip

The newer versions of biscuits with dips in a box. This comes in 2 flavors, the strawberry cream and the choco cream. If you've sweet tooth and can take ultimate sweetness, the strawberry cream one is for you. It's very sweet for me but with a tad of sourness in the cream. This comes with chocolate flavored biscuits.

The Choco cream one is my recommendation. The cream has got bits of chocolate that's crunchy and gives the slight punch every time you lick the cream. This is accompanied with plain biscuits for dipping. Meiji Drippy Choco Cream is going into my list of favorite snacks!

Jack 'n Jill Jigs Corn Stix - Hot Peri-peri (Tendoori Chicken Flavour)

This corn sticks seem to be relatively new in the market. At least I've only discovered it today at NTUC fairprice supermarket. I'm a sucker for spicy chips and snacks. So when I saw 'Hot Peri-Peri', immediately I grabbed a bag!

Jigs Corn Stix reminds me of Twisties. And in fact, it looks almost like twisties. Personally I prefer Jigs as its of a new flavor and the corn stix is crunchier. There're more flavors to try, will share about it when I get my hands on my Jigs!

EGO Haw Flakes (Pres San Char)

This can be considered one of the more traditional (retro) snacks for many. When I was in primary school, I would always buy a "tube" at 10-cent each and suck on the San Char one at a time. Or put a few in my mouth and try to use my tongue to separate the pieces. Yap! That's the kind of things I did when I was small. Haha!

San Char aka Haw Flasks are supposingly to be quite a healthy snack as its made of a kind of fruit. (I think) Looking at it just brings back fond memories from my childhood days.

Fujiya Milky Chocolate 12's

Cute box with Milky Girl. The packaging is enough to entice little kids to want a box of the chocolate. Each piece of chocolate has milk filling inside. The filling is a tad too sweet and does not taste like milk. After two pieces of it, one would probably feel sick of the taste.

This is one of those eat-once-to-try-and-never-buy-again chocolate.

M&M's Chocolate Candies (Milk Chocolate)

One of the most common and popular chocolate for most people. M&M's chocolate candies were the first few candies that many children grew up to learn about. The cute M&M's characters with legs, hands and various facial expressions usually will not fail to make one smile.

Love the sight of M&M's in a glass bottle.
