Top 10 Favorite Asian Snacks You Need To Try
One of the best parts of growing up in an Asian household was, no doubt, the snacks!
1. White Rabbit Candy
One of the coolest parts of this snack is that you don’t need to take off the paper inside each wrapper that covers the candy. That translucent white paper is actually made of rice so it melts on the tongue and is edible!
2. Pocky
The best thing about Pocky is that you have a ton of variety to choose from. Bored with the standard chocolate flavor? Grab a cookie and cream-flavored box. Or chocolate almond crush, or strawberry! There are dozens of different flavors and it’s always exciting to come across a brand new flavor in stores.
3. Hello Panda
This cream-filled biscuit is the perfect snack for little kids, since it has two snacks in one – a fun round biscuit ball and a molten filling.
4. Yan Yan
The awesome part of Yan Yan is actually the packaging it comes in. When you rip open the top flap, you’ll see a container that holds the Yan Yan cracker sticks, and a smaller container filled with cream that you can dip the sticks into.
5. Kit Kat
What is the most popular Asian snack in the world? Kitkat is, without a doubt, one that competes for that title. Though Kitkat originates from the United States, this snack started having a cult following due to the successful marketing campaign by the company in Japan. This is due to the unique flavour variation Kitkat offered in Japan. One of the most popular flavours is the Uji Matcha Green Tea flavour.
6. Hopia
Hopia is yet another favorite 'merienda' or snack for Filipinos. Hopia is made of thin flaky pastry, traditionally filled with mung bean paste (Munggo). But nowadays, there are more variations to choose from when it comes to the filling, most popular is the Ube or Purple yam.
7. Mochi
Mochi is a bun-shaped Japanese dessert made from sweet glutinous rice flour, or mochigome.
8. Sticko
Stik-O is probably one of the pioneers in the Philippine wafer stick market. This crunchy delicious snack is perfect for munching anytime and for snack lovers of all ages.
9. Irvin's Salted Egg Fish Skin / Potato Chips
Crispy salmon skin or potato chips mixed with real salted egg, aromatic curry leaves, and diced chili.
10. Goldilocks Polvoron
Goldilocks is the leading name in Filipino classics and pastries. And, polvoron is one of their specialties! Goldilocks Polvoron is an authentic Filipino snack that can be described as simply "crumbly shortbread."
