Lay's Chicken and Tomato flavoured chips short review

樂事薯片香濃雞汁番茄味 (北美板版)

I found this Lay's Made in Canada versions of Chinese (Mainland China) regional flavours, Chicken and Tomato chips. 


impressions:
  • same Lay's signature texture and thickness (or rather, thinness, Lay's are thin)
  • they are Made in Canada? :O
  • has a strong tomato taste (but not like ketchup chips... only tomato and sweet)
  • a slight chicken taste (sort of like chicken broth)
  • they replaced the saltiness with sweetness :( WHAT??? they used sugar instead of salt!
  • the taste is subtle, unlike most Canadian Lay's chips (e.g. Ketchup, Classic, Barbeque, etc)


I was disappointed with the chips being sweet. I like my chips, savoury, and they took that away with these chips :(... this might be a cultural thing where the Chinese prefer sweet chips? (Or rather, Asians prefer sweet chips. I'm thinking of Chinese sweet snowflake crackers, Japanese sweet Cheetos and Korean honey curls.).

I enjoyed the tomato flavour (not to be confused with ketchup chips). The tomato flavour was light and sweet, with no tanginess. There was the chicken flavour, but it was more of a brothy chicken flavour instead of real chicken. These chips reminded me of the Baked Chicken and Tomato rice dish.

It isn't bad... but I really wished they used more salt and less sugar.

Score: 7.8/10

President's Choice Canadian Burger flavored chips review


After trying the World of Flavours Greek chips, I had high hopes for the World of Flavours Canadian burger , unfortunately, it was a disappointment.

The combination they used was Barbeque + ketchup + bacon + cheese +...pickle, I have tried a Canadian burger before, but this was not close to being one. The combination was bad, once I tried my first bite, I was first introduced to Barbeque flavoured followed by a weird harsh vinegar flavour and a smokey after taste followed. The taste was way too confusing with no theme, just a bunch of flavours thrown together.

If you plan to try this, I wouldn't recommend it unless you like a bunch of Barbeque, vinegar and smokey flavour bunched together in a chip.

President's Choice - Greek flavored chips review


The President's Choice World of Flavours Greek chips combines Feta, Olives and Oregano flavours to one chip. This was one of the reasons why I had made this purchase because of my love for Greek food.

However, at my first bite, I wasn't impressed, because it tasted sour with hardly any hint of Feta cheese, Olives and Oregano present. However after several bites later, I can finally feel their presence, the reason why it tasted so sour was because of the Olive, and once you taste past the Olive you can feel the Feta and Oregano flavours sinking in.

Since this was a big bag, it took me over a month to finish (as I do not eat a lot of snacks at once), by the end of the second week, I have already been obsessed with the flavour. If you get a chance to come across this flavour, give it a try!
