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.

An early 90s favourite, still much loved by young and old to date. It used to come only in one flavour - Chocolate. Now they have the Milk flavour which I absolutely LOVE! Crispy biscuit with creamy milky filling. This is one box you really don't want to share with anyone else.

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.





Ingredients
Haw, Sugar, edible colouring.
