Asian Snacks

Happy Chinese New Year! My blog buddy from Little Luxury List, sent me some Asian (Japanese) snacks over the holidays. I had a chance to try them, and let me tell you! I love me some Asian snacks! I'm a fan of Asian culture period! HaHaHa These snacks are so good and the packaging is so MUCH FUN! I'm going to put together some things from New Orleans for her to try! Have you tried any of these? Do you like Asian snacks? Below are my thoughts. You can read my other blog posts about various cultures and traditions here.

Kelloggs Cocoa Krispies Cereal

This one was easy, because the cereal is just like the Cocoa Krispies we have here in the States! Chocolatey goodness and all. The packaging is just different. I saved the packaging for this, because it's SO CUTE! I love the little monkey and vibrant colors.

Hello Panda Chocolate and Milk Filled Biscuits

I enjoyed BOTH flavors. They're like shortbread (but not as hard) with chocolate and vanilla in between. Each gives just enough sweetness (it's not over the top sweet). LOVED the cute panda printed on each biscuit. He does a different activity on each biscuit. Panda's are also good luck! For those in the States, this biscuit would equate to a cookie! In European countries (and from what I can tell ... also Asia), the proper name is biscuit. Also, the milk flavored is like vanilla for us.

Nestle Kit Kat Strawberry Cheesecake

I love Kit Kat candy bars (every now and then of course ;) HaHaHa I've always been intrigued with the packaging of Asian Kit Kats. I got to try THREE different ones! This one was creamy and tasted just like a slice of cheesecake with a hint of strawberry. This Kit Kat is filling! I could only eat one of the two bars (individually packaged) at a time. It's very rich! Absolutely gorgeous packaging! Love the cherry blossoms and I believe pagoda (?) buildings.

Nestle Kit Kat Sakura Matcha

I looked this up and found out this Kit Kat is cherry blossoms, green tea and white chocolate. It's very unique and tastes really good. It even smells delicious! HaHaHa Very nice scent! It's sweet and is a delight to the palate.

Nestle Kit Kat Hokkaido Red Beans

We have red beans in New Orleans that we serve over rice, but this seems to be a more versatile red bean! From what I can tell online they are used in desserts and to make sweet soup Shiruko. They also boil it with rice to make a Japanese dish Sekihan. This Kit Kat had a bean and more of a bitter taste to it. It was good.

Daim Candy

Toffee! Definitely like hard toffee! These have a creamy, toffee and chocolate taste. Very good!

Daiso Green Peas

I LOVE THESE! They're hard peas, but suck them for awhile and then chew. They're lightly salted, seasoned goodness. SO GOOD and DELICIOUS!

Tao Kae Noi Crispy Seaweed

Ok! I've NEVER had seaweed before! LOL My mom laughed at me when I tried these crunchy seaweed strips, because she said I literally made FIVE faces while eating them. HaHaHa I guess it tastes like REALLY fresh seaweed! HaHaHa Even though this wasn't my cup of tea, it gave me LOTS OF ENERGY! Boy did I clean the house and get things done that day! But I'll just have to find another way to get that energy. HaHaHa It is spicy like the picture on the bag, but steam did not come out my ears nor did I cry (like the boy pictured).

I would like to thank Little Luxury List for everything she sent me. It was very generous of her and she is SO SWEET! Very thoughtful! I appreciate everything. I love trying things from other countries (food and beauty products) She sent me some beauty products and I'll be reviewing them at a later date. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
