Oishi Prawn Crackers Spicy Flavor

10/13/2013

Comments

 
We are traveling the world in search of unique and original snack flavors from every country we can think of.  So far we have trekked 27 countries offering an array of delicious foreign snacks.  For our snack review this time we find ourselves back in the Philippines.
Last time we landed in the Philippines we reviewed the Choc Nut, a peanut milk chocolate snack that seems to be loved by many.  Our response to this Filipino snack is one of the highest of all snacks we have review thus far.  This international snack review is for Oishi Prawn Crackers Spicy Flavor.
First Oishi Commercial
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.
Our Philippine snack under review is Oishi Prawn Crackers Spicy Flavor.  Our sample is a 2.12oz shinny red bag with a background image containing fire and red peppers.  The main image on the bag shows the product with some retro text and a whole prawn.   Now let’s get on to the taste test!

Buy Oishi Prawn Crackers Spicy
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.

Well we know my household will stock Oishi Prawn Crackers Spicy Flavor but will this chip make the line-up for our normal inventory on World of Snacks when our international snack store launches?  Of course the answer is yes!  They are a delightful treat and even if the Philippines is not one of our first offered countries it will eventually be stocked in our online store.  If you’d like to stay up to date on our progress be sure to follow us on facebook!
