Buying Asian snacks online is easy, but the range varies greatly in flavour, origin, packaging and portion size. A colourful packet or a well-known brand name doesn’t always tell you enough. If you rely solely on a photo or a short product title, you could end up with a snack that’s too sweet, too spicy, too small, or unsuitable for allergies.
So pay particular attention to these three common pitfalls:
A bulk pack that’s not as big as you’d expect
A box containing several smaller bags can look appealing, but always check the total weight and the number of portions. With biscuit sticks, for example, a “6-pack” might mean several small packets.
A flavour name that tells you little about the actual ingredients
“Strawberry”, “wasabi” or “barbecue” mainly describes the flavour direction. The ingredients list will show you whether it contains, for example, milk, soya, shellfish, sesame or peanuts.
Product information that doesn’t fully match the packaging
With international snacks, product photos, translations and online descriptions can differ. Always check the physical packaging, allergens, best-before date and storage advice when you receive your order.
For snacks on the go, small packets are practical. For a film night, birthday or drinks party, a multipack or snack box is often more convenient. Don’t just look at the number of bags – also check the net weight per pack.
A pack of 40 or 45 grams is suitable as an individual treat. A box of 120 grams or more is better for sharing. According to the product information, the Bestore Lucky Cat Gift Box contains 1,518 grams and 13 individually wrapped products. That makes it a good size for a group or as a gift, but the selection consists of different snacks with a variety of ingredients.
Always check the allergens on Japanese snacks, Korean snacks, Chinese snacks and Thai snacks. Many biscuit sticks and biscuits contain wheat, milk or soya. Savoury snacks may also contain prawns, other shellfish, sesame or mustard.
Examples from the range:
The online information is a helpful guide, but not a substitute for the label. The packaging may contain more or different information. If you have an allergy or intolerance, it’s wise to read the current ingredients list before consuming.
Sweet snacks such as Pocky, strawberry biscuits, wafers and sandwich crackers go well with coffee, tea, a lunchbox or a gift set. Savoury snacks like rice crackers, crisps, corn snacks and prawn crackers are a more natural choice for drinks or a film night.
With spicy varieties, look out for words like “hot”, “spicy” and “wasabi”. The intensity can vary from brand to brand. If you’re putting together a selection, you can reduce the risk of a bad buy by combining sweet and savoury snacks with a few milder options.
Why this suits the profile: The multipack is handy if you want to try Thai snacks or fill several occasions with a savoury biscuit stick.
The number of packets is clearly stated. However, do check the net weight on the product page and the packaging, because the supplied description mentions 6 x 50 grams.
Crunchy biscuit sticks, original savoury flavour and several individual packets for sharing or taking with you.
Why this suits the profile: This Japanese snack offers a recognisable size and a sweet strawberry flavour for fans of biscuit sticks and Pocky.
The product information states the weight and the ingredients. Check the current label for milk, wheat and soya before ordering for others.
45 grams per pack, crunchy biscuit stick and strawberry flavour.
Why this suits the profile: The box is designed for sharing, giving as a gift, or discovering several Chinese snacks in one order.
The weight, number of products and individual packaging are stated. Because the box contains several different recipes, you need to check the allergens on each pack.
13 individually wrapped snacks and a total weight of 1,518 grams.
Why this suits the profile: A 200-gram pack is practical for home, with coffee or tea, and for a small sharing moment.
The net quantity is clearly stated. The ingredients list wheat and soya, so you can decide in advance whether the snack is suitable for your household.
200 grams, multi-layered wafers and chocolate flavour.
A practical selection consists of different textures and flavour directions:
Store opened snacks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal the packaging well to keep them crunchy and flavourful for as long as possible. With products containing chocolate or cream, pay extra attention to the recommended storage temperature.
We’ve put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and current European safety regulations.
You can order snacks online from a range that includes products from Japan, Korea, China and Thailand, among others. Before you buy, compare the weight, ingredients, allergens, origin and best-before information. That way, you can make a more informed choice than if you only look at the brand name or packaging.
For sharing, a snack box, multipack or larger pack is practical. The Bestore Lucky Cat Gift Box contains individually wrapped products. Biscuit sticks and wafers can also be suitable for a group, as long as you take allergens and different flavour preferences into account.
The best-before date is on the packaging. After opening, the crunchiness usually decreases more quickly, especially with crisps, rice crackers and biscuit sticks. Store the snacks according to the label, seal opened bags well, and always check the condition and smell of the product before eating.
