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.

Lay' s Wavy Milk Chocolate Covered Potato Chips review

Lay's Wavy Milk Chocolate Covered Potato Chips

What do you get when you put two of the more popular snacks together? Chocolate Covered Potato Chips! I wonder how Lay's came up with the idea of putting these two products together... To be honest, I didn't think I would like it but when my friend insisted that it tasted really good... I decided to give it a try... and... I actually kind of liked them.

Apologies for the blurriness of the photo

Here's the list of the ingredients:

Chocolate (Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Milk Chocolate Liquor, Soy Lecithin, Vanilla), Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Corn, and/or Canola Oil), and Salt. Contains Milk and Soy Ingredients

I am glad these ingredients are quite natural (as with Lay's products), I can pronounce all the ingredients (which means there aren't any chemicals inside).

chocolate covered side

Impressions:

• interesting taste...
• very filling
• slightly addictive
• messy looking
• greasy

chip side

These are super addictive, I couldn't help thinking of them... luckily after 3-4 "chips" you will get full. The salt from the potato chips really helped enhanced the flavour making it very interesting... in a moment your taste buds are surrounded with a rich chocolate taste then all of a sudden you are hit with a light salty/oily chip flavour.

I will definitely be buying these again... not for myself but for a group of people (e.g. parties, gatherings, etc)... :P
