Although I really like my Flamin' Hot Cheetos (for example, please coat everything with Flamin' Hot Cheeto dust-I want it) as my preferred snack, Asian snacks dominate. In fact, most of the happiness brought by dragging my kids back to Taiwan every summer comes from all the snacks I want to buy, which are then stuffed into my pie hole and then washed away by a lot of Asian drinks (Taiwanese beer) Come down.

Because I am a sharing person (well, online sharing is-good luck if we go in person), here are some of the best Asian snacks you need to try as soon as possible.

For those of us who like that umami or even a hint of spice, here are some that might suit you.

Mala is a kind of spicy spice commonly found in Sichuan cuisine, which means "spicy" in Mandarin. It is delicious in food (especially hot pot) and popcorn. I tried the Magi Planet branded version, and after I tried it, I begged a friend to send me a full box of them. But be careful. It will be addictive! !

2) Jabsons Organic Roasted Chana Hing Jeera

Organic and vegetarian, Jabsons Organic Roasted Chana Hing Jeera is chickpeas covered with cumin and asafetida (also known as hing). This classic Indian snack is very popular when you crave salty, garlicky, crunchy, and a hint of spice.

Reminiscent of a bugle snack, Korean sea turtle slices are shaped like (you guessed it) sea turtles and have four layers to bite through. They are fluffy and delicious, and taste like sweet corn (a favorite taste of Asians).

4) Grass Valley Roasted Green Beans

I remember eating these mustard peas that my mother brought back from Taiwan (or she went to the Asian grocery store about an hour away). Kusagai Roasted Hot Green Peas is a perfect combination of hot and crispy (there are many crispy things on this list), technically, it is a vegetable, so it is good for you. I said what I said.

5) Owen Salted Egg Potato Chips

This snack from Singapore really deserves its reputation. I like salted duck eggs-now let the whole category of food be overwhelmed by its taste like Owen's salted egg crisps? Yes, yes, there is more. It is creamy and salty, put on potato chips, it will definitely delight your mouth.

Well, I think not everyone just craves salty snacks, and some people like sweets. If you prefer sweets, here are some Asian snacks you will always want.

Thankfully, Hello Panda biscuits are now sold at Costco, otherwise, I would go bankrupt by providing these chocolate biscuits for my children. They have other flavors, but my children agree that chocolate is the best, and I try to never argue with my children (because they are wild).

7) King ChocNut Peanut Milk Chocolate

King ChocNut Peanut Milk Chocolate is just like its name. This is a candy made with roasted peanuts and milk chocolate. It is an indispensable snack for Filipino children. Be forewarned, it's delicious and crispy, so be prepared to put the whole thing in your mouth so as not to waste anything.

These delicious snacks are the staple food of Korea. Frankly speaking, Orion Choco Pies is a better version of moon cakes. They are fragile. They are chocolate flavored. They are the best, which is interesting to say.

These Japanese gummy candies have so many delicious fruit flavors (lychees, peaches, grapes, apples, etc.) that people cannot just choose their favorite Kasugai gummy. It's like choosing a favorite child. Well, you forced me to do this-the best flavor is peach. Fight with me!

Parle-G Original Biscuits are perfect for making tea, they won't become soggy, and they are only slightly sweet, so you won't feel obsessed with things that are not good for you. They are said to be good for digestion and can be eaten before your main meal.

Why KitKat? I mean, after all, are there no KitKat chocolate bars in the United States? (Yes, they did it, and it was delicious.) But let's be realistic. Japan KitKats has more than 50 flavors, such as matcha, strawberry, cherry blossom, cheesecake, apple-even sake!

I mean, you are absolutely correct. Let us no longer blame dual thinking. Let us accept "and" instead of "or". Here are some sweet and savoury Asian snacks worth trying!

Golden Sweet Corn is a nostalgic Filipino snack, basically a bunch of crunchy balls covered with creamy sweet corn seasoning. They are golden yellow, satisfying, and have a perfect balance between saltiness and sweetness.

I can read the whole bag of these individually packaged rice crackers-no matter what brand or flavor they are. They are salty and sweet, I think my favorite is frosted, but honestly, I don't care. They are very satisfying and full of flavor, you know, these are rice crackers. Isn't it healthy? (No.) Drink plenty of water, because if you drink the whole family package, you will be thirsty.

Do you like shrimp crackers? Well, you might like these Paldo Crab Chips. Although it's a bit sweeter than the iconic shrimp chips and tastes like crabs, you will love these crispy potato chips, and you can't stop eating one. Buy multiple sets. You will thank us.

I am absolutely sure that I have missed countless favorite Asian snacks. After all, Asia spans 48 countries, and I didn't even count the Pacific islands. Think of this article as a starting point for exploring new snacks and adding them to your palate. Happy snacking!
