Yamibuy is a website that sells mainly Asian products ranging from snacks and beauty products to stationery and home supplies. In this article, however, I’m going to introduce the snack feature of this website because obviously food is always the best part.
Here’s the must-get list if you’re really craving Asian snacks:
1. Pocky
Pocky is probably the most popular Asian snack around the world, and it definitely deserves its popularity. There are so many flavors ranging from the typical chocolate and matcha to orange peel and lemon. You can find them all on Yamibuy.
There’s also Pejoy, which is a modified version of Pocky. The biscuit stick, instead of being coated with flavored sauces, is filled with it. So, if you’re looking for more richness, go for Pejoy.
2. Hello Panda
I believe that most of you are somewhat familiar with MEIJI’s Hello Panda, too. It’s a panda-shaped biscuit filled with strawberry, vanilla, or chocolate cream. Treat yourself with these cute cookies.
3. Choco Pie
Choco Pie is one of my personal favorites among all Asian sweets. Although it’s called pie, it’s not the pie that you’re probably familiar with. It’s made up of two thin slices of cake with marshmallow creme in between, and the whole thing is coated with chocolate. The combination of the gooey marshmallow, crumbly cake, and chocolate crust is delightful.
4. Binggrae Milk
Binggrae is the most popular dairy brand in Korea, and it’s famous for its fruit-flavored milk. The flavors are banana, strawberry, and honey dew. Yes, it sounds weird. I definitely wasn’t a big fan when I first tried the banana milk, but the more you drink, the more you get addicted to it. So, if you’re like me and love both milk and sugary flavors, this is the milk for you.
5. Nongshim Shrimp Crackers
Don’t be fooled by the name; these crackers aren’t actually made of shrimp but are merely shrimp-flavored. You can choose between the original flavor and the spicy one. Although it’s not a healthy snack, it might be a better option than chips when you want to munch on something while watching Netflix.
6. Mochi
Mochi is made of sticky rice and stuffed with red bean, taro, or sesame paste, the most common and popular flavors. It’s a traditional Asian treat. If you like desserts but are sick of brownies and chocolate chip cookies, get mochi.
7. Instant Ramen
Instant ramen is so much more than styrofoam cup noodles. Yamibuy sells the best instant ramen from China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian countries. Even though ramen shouldn’t be your choice for regular meals, once in a while, when you feel like having one bowl, treat yourself with better-quality ramen.
This is by no means a comprehensive list; the variety of Asian snacks on Yamibuy will blow your mind. If you love Asian snacks, give it a shot.
(On a side note, Yamibuy recently launched a program called YBox where you can select from three options of snack boxes that have different amounts of snacks. You can order one month’s worth of YBox, or you can subscribe and your food will be right at your door every month.)
