Must Buy Items from the Asian Market

Submitted by William Chen

1. Shrimp Chips

Although this may sound unusual at first, shrimp chips are a household staple in many Asian American households due to their airy and delectable taste. Be careful when eating these as it will be hard to stop after just one bite. With a mix of salty, yet sweet seasonings, the reminiscent shrimp flavor will keep you hooked.

2. Hello Panda

A sweet chocolatey snack is quite hard to pass on by. Hello Panda is no exception! Hello Panda is a pack of mini biscuits, each filled with chocolate cream. As you take the first  bite of a biscuit, the chocolate gushes out and creates a delightful crunchy, yet smooth texture that will have you longing for more.

3. Aloe Vera Drinks

If you’re looking for a sweet and refreshing drink, make sure you buy a few bottles of Aloe. You may be startled at first by the pieces of Aloe jello inside, but rest assured, they are completely edible. In fact, it adds to the drink and improves upon the refreshment.

4. Korean Corn Dogs

If you haven’t heard of Korean Corn Dogs, you may be living under a rock as they are an amazing snack. The stretchy cheese that is inside is a must try. There are variations of corn dogs. For instance, some may include a  hot dog, fish cake, potatoes, or just cheese.

5. Samanco Ice Cream

This dessert is not as well known as the other snacks listed on this list. However, the goldfish designed wafer filled with mouth-watering ice cream inside may be my #1 item to recommend to friends and family.
