Novelty Snacks of Vietnam

The lotus is better not in your mouth.

Novelty Snack: Street Doughnut
Description: A very sweet and chewy doughnut doused in large grain sugar.
Tastes Like: A hamburger bun deep fried and covered in too much sugar.
Verdict: Thumbs up! (But I couldn’t finish it.)

 

Novelty Snack: Ostar Korean Kimchi Potato Chips
Description: Kimchi is a formented Korean dish often made with cabbage or radish with seasonings.
Tastes Like: Barbeque flavored chips with a spicy aftertaste. Does not taste like kimchi.
Verdict: Thumbs up!

 

Novelty Snack: Saxi Chuong Duong
Description: A dark colored soda.
Tastes Like: Anise. Gross black licorice. Yuck.
Verdict: Thumbs down.

 

Novelty Snack: Quyanh Ann Fried Lotus Seed
Description: Lotus seed and vegetable oil.
Tastes Like: Eating a seed, really. More bland than dried garbanzo beans. These gave Mike a stomachache pretty quickly.
Verdict: Thumbs down.

While the snacks weren’t always a hit in Vietnam, the food in general was pretty good.
