Asian market snacks/foods you need to try

Drinks
Quench the thirst
I'd say this is my second favorite flavor of the Genki options.
Have not tried this one specifically, but I have yet to have a Senpure drink that I did not love.
Hands down favorite Genki flavor
BE AWARE the pudding kinda sticks together lol so if you want pudding chunks, you gotta break it up a bit.
The red bean adds a sweet/salty contrast
TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. This was my primary breakfast option for traveling in to the office.
This one was an odd one. Still very good, but the quinoa more so just adds a texture rather than a flavor.
If you are a fan of sweeter black/oolong tea flavors, give this a try.
Get this and then get the boba pearls!!!
Really easy to make, but the directions are for fairly large portions. So just pour what you want and then follow the boiling instructions. The amount of water doesn't really matter as long as it has room to float.
Regularly sold out, but worth it if you find it. Very good.
I was very surprised by this one. I'm slowly learning that cheese+drinks is best combo.
Very refreshing!
Like a fancier version of the welch's strawberry soda! Really good.
Really tastey on hot days.
This is delicious. If you like watermelon, this is an immediate recommendation.
Noodles/Rice Cakes
Self-explanatory
WARNING SPICY!
Literally this whole brand of Ramen is amazing. Every single one of them.
Has a little bit of a kick to it, but its very mild! Also comes with extra cheese powder packs.
Either share with a friend or get a very large bowl! This is a lot of food, but hands down the broth alone is the best i've had. Add pickled peppers!
This was delicious and did not upset my stomach. Just enough spice for flavor, but not too much!
These are very mild compared to most Topokki packs! So great if you are more sensitive to spice.
If regular Topokki is a bit too spicy for you, try this. It still has some kick, but it's more "earthy" (I don't know how else to describe it I apologize) so the spice hits lower on the palate.
Great when you're feeling stuffed up.
I messed this up and didn't drain the water before putting the sauce in. Even then still pretty good!
If you love peanut noodles, you'll love this. But these are sesame noodles if I remember correctly.
It has you mix the sauce with oil instead of water, so it's a bit odd for cooking if you are used to the water mixins.
Best brand for tteokbokki solely for their variety in flavors.
FINALLY I was able to find these plain so I can add my own sauces!
A good savory cold noodle.
Candy/Desserts
Treat Yo' Self!
Love these cakes! They come in a few differant flavors, but Green Tea is my favorite!
Really nice for mornings or on the go snacks.
I need like a whole box of these
These taste like those cookie rolls people get during the holidays.
These are delicious and very convenient to store since they come individually wrapped.
Unlike normal pocky packs, this is one large pack instead of two smaller ones. The flavor is awesome though. Usually companies will use artificial banana flavoring, this is not that. Actually tastes like pudding.
Snacks
Snack time is the best time
I can not express strongly enough how much everyone needs to try these dang chips. WARNING they are on the sweeter side, so if you don't like sweet things, don't get them.
Oddly very satisfying. If you're a fan of cucumber, definitely try these.
THESE ARE SO FLAKEY AND DELICIOUS.
Dip these in an egg yolk dip!
Sweet! But not too sweet! It's a nice change up.
Pair with a crab salad mix and you're golden.
These were actually pretty good lol Kind of like a spring roll but in chip form.
Very light on the watermelon flavor but these would make a great kids snack!
It's not too sweet! Highly recommend
I just eat it straight from the can. Comes with a lil spoon and everything.
Favorite porridge, but it's hardly ever in stock unfortunately.
It will be really hard for me to find a chip I like more than these.
Condiments
Time to stock up those pantries!
Add it with butter over rice!!!
Rice toppings are a great and cheap way to flavor up your rice.
*TEXTURE WARNING* It is both slimey, and kind of crunchy? This was really fun to try though. I'm not sure if I'd eat it on it's own again, but definitely great to pair as a side or a topping.
GARLIC LOVERS this one is for you! This was super fun to try.
Really good Tonkatsu sauce.
I feel like everyone should have expected this to be here.
Very tasty! It's a mild spice, but if you have a sensitive stomach, use small amounts!
These are very sweet, but in the best way! Add them to Tteokbokki, Takoyaki, or any other sweet/savory dish. I usually use scissors to cut them up into smaller junks since it's stringy like jerky.
