I'm Charlotte and for today's video I'm going to try out four Taiwanese snacks

that look a little bit strange to me and that I never tried before.

I just bought them randomly. I didn't ask for the most popular ones in Taiwan or anything

I just went to the store and I looked at what looked interesting to me

And those are the ones I chose.

The first one I want to try is the sliced tofu, because honestly to me, this one looks the least good.

I want to get it over with first, so that I can still have some tasty things afterwards.

Let's see!

This has a really strong smell. I don't know what it smells like. I can't really compare it to anything I know.

Cheers!

It's much harder than I expected…

No. This one I don't like at all. Oh my God.

I'm going to have to ask my flatmates to help me and finish this

Now for the second one… This is the crispy seaweed, but it's a spicy version.

Look at this little man suffering. That will be me in a minute maybe.

You know what's really funny? Sometimes, on packaging or commercials here

When they write something in English it doesn't really make sense.

Like here, the description of this is “Delicious with good from the sea”.

There's a lot inside. When I see it, at first, it just looks like a normal seaweed snack.

But there's a different smell to it. Something more.

Okay, let's try it!

It's super crispy. I like it.

There's nothing spicy yet but sometimes it sneaks up to you later.

Usually I can't handle spicy at all, but this one… It's bearable.

It's really delicious!

We don't have seaweed snacks in Belgium, only when you go to a special Asian store

But I really love them and I also think they're more healthy than many other snacks.

I really like this one!

Maybe it's even better than the not spicy one. Cause you have a little bit more taste.

I can definitely feel the spiciness building up after each bite,

so maybe after you eat a few of these you can't have any more.

On to our next snack!

This one, the jackfruit, is probably the one I have the highest expectations for cause I'm such a jackfruit lover

And I only had a few opportunities in my life to try it.

I never tried the dried jackfruit and I'm very very curious. Let's see.

It has a different colour than I expected. Jackfruit is very fresh yellow.

The dried one, not as much. It's kind of brownish.

The taste is all that matters, right? Let's give it a try.

Not bad.

It's not bad but not as good and heavenly as I expected.

The fresh jackfruit, I just love the texture it has. And here, after it's dried this texture is kind of lost.

Now it's very similar to the dried mango for example. But it's good.

I'll definitely finish this easily.

I really wish I can eat jackfruit again. The real deal.

The very last one we have here is the Boba chocolates.

I'm really excited about this. I like bubble milk tea and I suppose this has to do with it?

Since there's a picture of bubble milk tea on the cover. So let's see.

They are each packed separately. Like this.

Not super eco-friendly, they could have used another material to pack them. Let's try!

The colour is different than I expected. It looks like…

Not white chocolate but something in between milk chocolate and white chocolate.

I'm not sure if you can see it well

Oh yeah, I can taste it. There's a pearl from the bubble milk tea inside of it.

I love the chewy texture.

This one is really good. Maybe I'm biased cause I'm in love with all sweet things

It's a very good idea, I think.

I'm not sure if the chocolate though, is the best one I've tried.

Especially cause my country, Belgium, produces such good chocolate

But I love the idea of this bubble inside so this one…

Approved by me!

If I had to choose the best one and rank them, I would say

In the last place, that's really easy, definitely this one. The sliced tofu was nothing for me.

I don't like the smell, I don't like the texture, I don't like anything about it. So that's not really my thing.

Then, in the third place comes jackfruit, I would say.

Even though it was not bad, it just doesn't do the real fruit justice, so I was disappointed.

Then it's kind of hard, cause both of these snacks were really nice, but it depends what mood you're in, you know?

Sometimes I just have a craving for salty, sometimes sweet.

If I just can pick one, I probably would say Boba chocolates on the second place

And the crispy seaweed on the first one. Cause this is just a super nice snack that I will definitely buy again many times.

I really like it. That's my ranking.

That's it for today's video. I hope you enjoyed!

I definitely am happy that I discovered this new seaweed snack. It's a new favourite of mine.

I'm curious to know which one is your favourite snack in this list, if you have tried them before.

I'm also wondering… Is there anyone on this planet who really likes the sliced tofu one?

I hope to see you again in the next video really soon!
