Crispy Durian Seaweed & Other Quirky, Tasty Snacks We Found On Pandamart

These “shaker” chips require you to empty a little flavouring packet into the bag and shake them, and they’re worth the extra effort it takes. They’ve got the savoury-sweetness of the brown sauce that comes with Japanese octopus balls down pat, and even managed to replicate the slightly tangy flavour of Japanese mayo. Super yummy coupled with the shatteringly crisp chips.

Made in Thailand, these are individually wrapped roasted seaweed rolls topped with, get this, little bits of dehydrated durian flakes. The combination is strangely successful. The durian lends a breath of funk that kinda complements the umami notes of the crispy seaweed. These are really addictive, and perhaps our new favourite seaweed snack.

This features a tea-infused milky ice cream between two soft biscuit slabs. The tea flavour in the ice cream is sharp and strong, very distinctly Lipton. Tastes a bit like teh tarik, too. Meanwhile, the biscuit’s got a nice chewy texture even out of the freezer, and this makes for a pleasant, comforting ice cream sarnie.

This is Pringles’s take on Cacio e Pepe, that creamy Italian classic of noodles coated in nothing but Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper. While it isn’t quite as luxurious, it does have a nice cheesy flavour that’s lifted by a spicy grown-up hit of black pepper that lingers in the mouth. Good with some wine.

We’ve had the lovely honey butter almonds from the same brand, but weren’t sure how the potato chip version would fare. These are apparently made with real honey and French gourmet butter, and we find ourselves enjoying the intermingling of the sweet, milky honey butter with savoury fried potatoes. Unlike the other chips on this list, the flavours here taste more subtle and natural.
