Farmland Oregon Fresh Potato Chips (Wasabi)

More and more brands are adding wasabi to their chips and nuts. My favorite are the Tai Sun Wasabi Chips and another brand from Japan where they have the wasabi peas. So when I saw Farmland’s new wasabi chips, I just had to grab one and try. They only come in the big bags so I’d no choice but to get it.

After few chips, I got sick of it. It’s not as much wasabi taste as those by Tai Sun. And the chips are not as cripsy as those by Lays. I wouldn’t recommend this as its not one of the better ones I’d tried so far.

Ingredients
Potatoes, vegetable ooil (palm olein oil), salt, contains wasabi seasoning powder.

Ovalteenies (Choco Malt Tablet)
with Activ8 Power + Zinc

Another of my favorite childhood snack! It’s seldom I got to drink Ovalteen but whenever I feel like drinking it, I would just buy a pack of Ovalteenies to suck and munch. It’s almost the same as the real drink! Also like the drink itself, it’s full of vitamins and minerals!

Comparing Ovalteenies with Horlicks Malties, I prefer the Horlicks as its not as sweet as the Ovalteenies.

What about you? Were you one of those that grew up in the times of Ovalteenies craze?

Jack ‘n Jill Jigs Corn Stix - Hot Peri-peri (Tendoori Chicken Flavour)

This corn sticks seem to be relatively new in the market. At least I’ve only discovered it today at NTUC fairprice supermarket. I’m a sucker for spicy chips and snacks. So when I saw ‘Hot Peri-Peri’, immediately I grabbed a bag!

Jigs Corn Stix reminds me of Twisties. And in fact, it looks almost like twisties. Personally I prefer Jigs as its of a new flavor and the corn stix is crunchier. There’re more flavors to try, will share about it when I get my hands on my Jigs!

Ingredients
Corn, vegetable oil and contains permitted flavouring substance.

EGO Haw Flakes (Pres San Char)

This can be considered one of the more traditional (retro) snacks for many. When I was in primary school, I would always buy a “tube” at 10-cent each and suck on the San Char one at a time. Or put a few in my mouth and try to use my tongue to separate the pieces. Yap! That’s the kind of things I did when I was small. Haha!

San Char aka Haw Flasks are supposingly to be quite a healthy snack as its made of a kind of fruit. (I think) Looking at it just brings back fond memories from my childhood days.

Ingredients
Haw, Sugar, edible colouring.
