Mmm... snacks from the Chinese Grocery. Yum.

Just wondering, do you guys buy junk food from asian groceries? And if you do, what stuff do you recommend?

I tend to buy Pocky (they have Chocolate and Strawberry pocky, but I can't find any other flavors here). I like Strawberry better than Chocolate with the Pocky for some reason.

I also have Yan Yan, which I can find in more flavors than the Pocky. Yan Yan is pretty good and my favorite flavor is the chocolate one. I tried strawberry, but it's just not as good.

Hello Panda is good too, again the chocolate one is good

But there's so much other stuff in the asian grocery that looks good, and I don't know where to begin trying it all

So, does anybody else eat confectionary and snack foods from the asian grocery, and if you do, what do you recommend?

Pocky is always good with the exception of it's fucking size. They're too god damn small. I have to eat a whole box at a time to be satisfied.

Hello Panda? Are those those panda head things with the filling? If so, then those strawberry ones kick ass. I find them in 7-11.

Yeah, Hello Panda are kinda panda head biscuits with filling I have chocolate and milk ones at the moment They're yummy.

I can't find any of this stuff in a regular supermarket though, I have to go to the markets or the asian grocery to get it. The really good ramen and indonesian noodles get sold in the supermarket though Cheaper than at the asian grocery too

Oh, and the Cashew nut crackers are good too....

I used to purchase small durian flavoured jellies from the Chinese food store. But that got shut down after the owner raped some 5 year old girl...And beat up her 15 year old brother.

wtf. There's no Chinesse food stores here. We got a Hello Kitty store. If that counts.
Well I know in some grocery stores here (I forget which, we got a billion of Safeways alone) have an asian food section, but everything always looks too bizarre to try. I'd like to try pocky one day.

Same here. That's where I find Pocky. I rarely buy it though because I can eat about 20 dollars worth in 3 minutes. A whole box isn't that filling, and I'm not a fat ass either.

Over the summer....a couple of friends and I literaly stockpiled on those candies alone. While at camp, they'd let the councelors in training go out every other week, and we'd head to the mall usualy every weekend with the other campers who wanted to (but we could go alone).

er, anyways, while there, we just sorta raided the local anime stores, video stores, Japanese specialty stores...whatever, and just bought assloads of the stuff. Oh lord what a summer it was. I even almost killed a kid with coconut Pocky (loooong story, but we'll leave it short and sweet---kid with violent allergic reactions to tree nuts; coconuts grows on trees, has word "nut", OBVIOUSLY must be a tree nut. Staffe sorta freaked out, assuming said kid would die or somthing similar, so I had to down 2 boxes there in the mall )

Mint, green tea, vanilla, "sushi", coconut, bannana, and apple are the ones I've tried.

I "" sushi because it tasted like that spicy squid stuff that is dipped in sugar and sweet spices.

I've been wondering what pocky is. I don't think that any store around here sells that kind of stuff. *sighs* I wish they did though so I can try this stuff that you guys mention of.

pocky is basically a chopstick like cookie with a flavored shell of chocolate or something.

also to be correct, pocky and hello panda are a japanese thing, not chinese.

anyways, where is a list of interesting japanese snacks that are available:

Holy shit, I remember NOTIME gum. Years back, we had a Japanese exchange student living with us and he brought some of that with him along with various other gum types. It's a lot different from ours, I can tell you that. It's great stuff.

Heh, I didn't say where they came from, I just said I get them at the Chinese grocery. We don't have a Japanese grocery here.... but there are a few Korean and Chinese ones, and the chinese ones happen to sell Pocky and Hello Panda, amongst other things Unfortunately, they don't sell this stuff at the "western" style supermarkets, even in the "asian" isle. They **do** have an increasingly good selection of ramen and mi goreng though!

And there are no Sanrio stores around here. There was a short lived Hello Kitty store, but it closed...
