We miss Korea, and all the delicious snacks that are from there! Check out 7 Must Try Korean Snacks that you can consider sinking your teeth into, if you haven’t already done so!

1. LOTTE Choco Pie (초코파이)) - LOTTE Choco Pie is a Korean snack cake comprising two small round layers of cake with a marshmallow filling in the middle. The snack is glazed with delicious chocolate coating on the outside, just like a dessert pie. This is a childhood favourite of many in Korea, and is also rather well known in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

2. NongShim Shrimp Flavored Cracker (새우깡) are shaped like crunchy French fries with narrow ripples. These crunchy snacks also boast a nostalgic element, with flavours that we may have enjoyed from our childhood. For me, I can vividly remember them being lightly spiced, salted and fried. They are made from fresh flour, ground shrimp with a gentle scent of the ocean when we eat it.

3. Honey Twist Snack (꽈배기) is a variation of the twisted bread, a traditional snack in Korea. This nostalgic snack is for those with a sweet tooth. It is a twisted bread topped with sugar, condensed milk & maple syrup. For those missing a slice of South Korea, they could consider snacking on this for guaranteed sweet moments.

4. Crown Jolly Pong (죠리퐁) is a crunchy and slightly sweet snack. Many Koreans would have them as a breakfast cereal by pairing a bowl of Crown Jolly Pong with milk, or simply have them as a quick bite on the go. The texture reminds us of healthier wheat snacks and yet still retains its puffiness; a delicious snack for us to try definitely!

5. NongShim Onion Rings has a mouth-watering aroma, which reminds us of delicious Korean cheeseburgers with hot-piping onions in them. We simply love the crispy rings, with just the right ratio of savouriness & sweetness, accompanied a dash of chilli powder to give us a subtle spice kick.

6. Crown Couque Dasse (쿠크다스) is a renowned South-Korean biscuit with a soft texture that seemingly melts in our mouth. The mascarpone cheese and the butter cookie exterior brings about savoury taste notes - and when eaten together, the flavours go well together. This classic South Korean biscuit makes for a perfect snack to consume with a cup of hot beverage. Best for your coffee break!

7. Haitai French Apple Pie (해태) is a delicious sweet and savoury South Korean staple snack that one would think of eating when scouring for a “pastry-like” snack. It boasts delicious layers of flakes while having the familiar jam in the middle for us to enjoy.

All in all, here are our top 7 must-try recommendations ! Do give them a go and hopefully it will bring about a temporary nostalgic relief for those who yearn to travel to South Korea.
