Filipino Nuts & Crackers
We love garlic and as soon as you rip open the bag you are hit with a very pleasing garlic aroma.  Their highly addicting and the hint of spice from the include chili powder really brings it all together.  We offer Boy Bawang in a variety of flavors but hot garlic is hands-down our favorite.

Filipino Candy
We posted a review of Choc Nut over 3 years ago.  It was one of the first (if not the very first) snacks from the Philippines that we sampled. We've been hooked ever since. It's the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut and we love that it comes in little tinny bars.

Filipino Chips
This favorite Filipino Snack tastes like real sweet corn, but better! They have a fun cheese ball shape but there no cheese flavor - just the yummy flavor of wholesome corn.  Enjoy the crunch and order more than one bag, we promise you'll want more.

Filipino Noodles
We couldn't fit "Extra Hot Chili" flavor above but that is why we (and our customers) love this Filipino Snack.  This is Filipino Chow Mein with large buttery noodles.  It could be a meal, but we call it a snack. Don't let the Ramen style packaging fool you, this isn't your average instant noodle.

Filipino Cakes
This our newest category of Filipino Snacks. We were ecstatic to get our hands on cakes from the Philippines and so were our customers.  We sold-out of our first shipment almost right away.  We have more arriving tomorrow, however we haven't even had a chance to try them yet!

LA2PU Dried Papaya is a first for me personally.  We have been at this for 13 months and reviewed snacks from 30 different countries.  This is the first foreign snack that I could not even put in my mouth.  Upon opening this basic package I was hit with a rancid odor. The smell is very close to vomit, and it the worst smelling snack we have yet to encounter.  We tripled checked the expiration date and it read later this year and no signs of the package show that it has been opened previously either.  We are not able to find if this snacks smells so horrible on purpose or if we simply have a bad batch.  One of our testers daringly moved on with the examination of this dried papaya from the Philippines.  She is a big fan of papaya and had to see what this unusual snack tasted like.  Well lucky for her, it doesn’t taste like vomit.  She did say it’s bland, and even though it’s not papaya skin it lends more to that direction than a true papaya. 

As you’ve guessed, we are reviewing a snack from the Philippines.  Our snack under review today is produced by a company called Tita KC’s Creation.  Other than their location in San Juan and a Facebook page with very little information, we were not able to find much about this Filipino snack company.  This may be common with snacks out of the Philippines, we ran into the same lack of details for our King Choc Nut Review.  Nonetheless, lets take a closer look at Tita’s KC’s Creation Puto Seko Coconut Angel Cookies

Trappist Mango Bars are pleasant.  They taste like a coffee cake with the flavoring of a biscotti (a hard cookie used to dip in coffee).   The mango is dried but has remained plump.  This Filipino cake is topped with Cashew Nuts, which add a little crunchy texture but does not over power the main attraction. The treat is sweet and has a tinge of butterscotch to bring it all together.  If packaged differently, we’d assume this is a high-end snack.   Our taste test panel consisted of 3 reviewers and everyone enjoyed Trappist Mango Bars and mentioned they’d consume it if it were stocked in their homes.

Oishi belongs to the parent company Linayway and got its start in post-war Manila, Philippines.   The name Linayway was chosen to reflect optimism and hope after the war.  Obviously it’s related to the translation for our English readers.  They initially repacked cornstarch and coffee.  With the influence of Japanese technology their first snacks where Oishi Prawn Crackers and Kirei Yummy Flakes.  Today they are a massive operation producing snack food and confectionery items throughout Asia with a strong presence in China, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia.

Upon opening the bag you get a whiff of spice with fish undertones, something we are becoming familiar with crunchy Asian snacks.  Upon inspection they look like an American product known as Hot Fries.  The actually cracker would be referred to as a chip in the US or a crisp in the UK.  However the flavor does hint towards a cracker, so they may indeed be a cracker.  The flavor is zesty and the spice is powerful enough and lingers a while.  The crunchiness seems almost exaggerated and adds to the charm of the chip.  Overall we really enjoyed this snack.  My co-founder and Operations Manager was born in Burma (now Myanmar) and fondly remembers this snack, so she may be a little partial.  This is my first experience and I plan to stock this item in my house on a regular basis. 

Our International snack blog has cruised through Asia and visited the countries of China, Korea, and Thailand.  Today World of Snacks is visiting a new country, the Philippines!  Growing up among many American-Philippine families I honestly can not tell you why we haven’t reviewed any Filipino snacks until now. 

Our snack that we are reviewing comes from a company called Nutri Snack.  From our research there are at least two snack companies using the same name with no relation.  This Nutri Snack is a Philippine junk food provider that has produced innovative fun snacks since 1981.   Initially Nutri Snack focused on corn and potato-based chips but quickly moved into the confectionery market.  Currently they feature more than 20 varieties of snack food items and chocolate products.  Now let’s take a look at one of the most enticing products they offer that we could find.  Our reviews is on Nutri Snack Moby Crunch Chocolate Flavored Corn Snacks.

To be honest when we selected the shinny orange chip style bag we weren’t sure exactly what we were getting into.  In the United States there are a vast variety of unique chip flavors, however chocolate is not among them.  Chocolate cereal is much more common, and being this site is World of Snacks, and not World of Cereal we hoped for a chip product.

Upon opening the Moby Crunch Chocolate Snack pack it was very apparent that this was no cereal.  A sweet aroma escaped from the bag and inside sat mini puffy Cheeto styled bites that seemed to be glazed with coco.  They are physically light and had a shinny coating with glimpses of the white corn snack peaking through.  The initial taste was subtle and we immediately needed to sample more.  As we plowed through the bag the flavor intensified and so did our love for this Pinoy Snack.  The Moby Crunch taste similar to a popular American cereal called Coco Puffs but differed enough to leave us understanding this was truly a chip style snack, and not a delicious cereal.

The Moby Crunch Chocolate Snack is not only one we intend to keep in our normal inventory once our International Snack Store  launches towards the end of the year, but one we will stock in our pantry on a regular basis.  Also the low price of this snack from the Philippines will make it desirable for everyone to add to their order.  If you want to receive an announcement for the launch of our store be sure to submit your e-mail to the right!
