Bing - Smoky Bacon Chips

Now a model eating it to get an idea of relative size.

These are nice curls of bacon goodness. The packaging is a refreshing white and red colour scheme that catches your eye.

I was pleasantly surprised when I poured the chips out and they did look like miniature bacon rashers. So visuals are there.

Taste-wise they are definitely smoky and bacony. But you do need to munch through a few to get the full flavour. Not salty or overpowering. So good choice for snacking while watching TV. Don't get too thirsty. No residue left on your fingers.

These chips also had a good crunch. The only complaint I had was that they were a little light and insubstantial on the tongue. But that is a minor quibble.

Overall I would rate these a 7/10. Good looking and tasting chip. I would recommend.

Bika - Honey Prawn Flavoured Crackers

These are nice bite sized curls of sweet prawn flavour. They come out of the packet a little shiny which hints at the sweet honey coating. There is an initial sweet hit but the main flavour is the prawn and it ends with a hint of spicy aftertaste.

The crackers have a satisfying crunch and definitely snackable. Though I would pair with a nice drink as got a bit thirsty eating them.
My sister suggests pairing them with blue cheese.

Overall I would rate it a 6/10

JENYOWE SNACK- Spicy Flavor

These are crispy curls of cuttlefish snack. The packaging has a picture of a Chili pepper and flaming Chinese characters, which raised my expectations about the spiciness. In actual fact there is a strong initial heat but it sort of mellows out. Maybe my mouth went a little numb. Hehehe. I would classify it as medium to hot spiciness.

To be truthful there isn't much of a cuttlefish flavour. The heat dominates but they are still munchable.

Overall nice snack but needs more flavour.

Calbee - Honey BBQ Chicken Wings Potato Chips

The photo on this packaging was very evocative of street food and BBQ chicken wings. I was intrigued if they would be able to pull it off.

These are thin cut potato chips. They have a good crispy texture and nice savoury flavour. Not greasy or salty.

These are better than standard BBQ chips and are recommended. Not too exotic but has an Asian flavour.

7/10

Cornae - American Corn Snack - Cheese Flavour

My wife picked these up at a I think Thai grocery. Looks interesting from the packaging with what looks like a hypnotic pattern.

Here is photo of the packaging.

Here is another with the chips on a plate

Now one with model eating it to get an idea of relative size.

These are small cone shaped corn chips. More like soft yellow witches hats. Not as crispy or crunchy as traditional corn chips. The cheese flavour isn't very strong either. The texture reminds me the Kellogs cereal "Crispix". Very light and munchable.

I was a little skeptical about this snack. Not sure what to expect, but it wasn't too bad. Nothing spectacular but satisfactory.

Orion - O!Karto - Potato Chips - Italian Gratin flavour

This had a jolly chef on the packaging hugging a bucket of these potato chips. My wife was raving about these because she used to eat these all the time when she was studying. So I decided to give them a go.

Now with a model eating it to get an idea of relative size.

These are potato chips shaped as if they were thick cut fries. But are actually crispy and hollow. They aren't very crunchy or overpowering. I'm not sure what Italian Gratin is supposed to taste like, but it is very subtle. The taste of potato really comes through. I think the strange shape helps here as they aren't dense or greasy. 

A very pleasant snack which I would recommend. Nice potato flavour and good to munch on.

Miaow Miaow - Chicken Flavoured Crackers

These crackers were promising a lot from the packaging. With the picture of a nice roast chicken on the front. Got my tastebuds salivating.

Here is a photo of the packaging.

Now with a model is eating it to get an idea of relative size.

These are small fluffy pillows of chicken flavour. They are really light and crunchy. The chicken flavour isn't overpowering but it is satisfying. These snacks would really work as popcorn replacement in a cinema. They are bite-sized and easy to handle. Not greasy nor too salty. 

I did get a little thirsty while eating them and I guess they would work well with a soft drink or beer.

I was pleasantly surprised by these crackers. Much better than I expected.
