a trip down memory lane

at the asian grocers. please ignore the lays and cheetos.
they were once popular a few years ago, but you mind as well buy them fresh and roast them yourselves because these are often dry

as the name says, be prepared to chew!
this is my family's current fave. it is a bar like mixture wrapped with edible rice paper. i love it when they add rice paper!

fancy french cookies with chinese writing on them made in taiwan. very french, oui? :)
i could snack on these 24/7. 365 days a year

chinese new year candy
melon seeds. these can actually be really addicting...there is great technique to mastering how to open these, and once you get going you really have no control of when to stop. good luck.
there is something about these peanuts that make them amazing! my dad's favorite

ok. so don't judge the package. these are dried and preserved plums. they're sweet, sour, and tangy. and they're also crunchy/crisp/ mouth puckering. you have to give these a try.
these are good! tamarind flavored candies

there is so much more flavor than the packaging shows
giant. haha.
dark chocolate pocky
i used to have these when i was little!
epitome of the asian chip.
sesame seed snack
dried jackfruit. if you try nothing on this list, at least try these! they're super crunchy and sweet and taste just like fresh jackfruit. if only i could always have these.
my brother loves these. some of these are cuttlefish and others are squid.
