Jin Jin Mango Coconut Jelly

10/16/2013

Comments

 
On our search to find the best snacks in the world and eventually offer them available for purchase with international shipping we have sampled a variety of unique items.   Our last snack review took us to the Philippines and we tasted a spicy chip known as Oishi Prawn Crackers.  Today we are investigation a sweet snack from Taiwan or officially the Republic of China (ROC).  
Our Taiwanese snack comes from the Jin Jin brand, which from what we can determine is owned by Jellico Food Company.  Jellico intruded themselves nearly 20 years ago with fruit jelly, or mini fruit gels as they are best known.  In addition to mini fruit gels Jin Jin, also offers creamy ice bars.  Our review today is for the Jin Jin Mango Coconut Jelly snacks.

Jin Jin Fruit Gels
Our package of mini gels is yellow mango colored and heavily covered with what we assume is Chinese writing.  The English on this snack items is very limited, in fact we can only make out "Jin Jin" and "Mango Coconut Jelly".   There are also a few pictures of mangoes and a clear window where we can view the individually packaged snack items.  Let’s get one with the taste test!
To be honest I personally had no idea what to expect, fruit jelly in the United States is a fruit based preserve that goes well on toast.  My partner who is Asian is very familiar with this type of snack and immediately was taken back to her childhood.  In her country it was common for house-guests to arrive with a bag of fruit gels.  As strange as I initially thought the item was, once I tasted this snack from Taiwan I was very familiar with it.  Jin Jin Mango Coconut Jelly snacks are basically Jello with fruit, something very common in the US.  Although this snack resembles Jello pretty closely, I actually like it better.  The smaller portion and the unique flavor make it very tasty. 
Will World of Snacks stock Jin Jin Mango Coconut Jelly when we launch our international snack store early next year?  We are pretty confident this snack will be a part of our normal inventory, although we are not 100% sure to classify this tasty treat as Taiwanese or Chinese.  If you’d like a special coupon and to be notified when our online snack store launches be sure to leave us your details.
