Yakult yoghurt jelly
Introduced this year, these cute packets of jelly come in three flavours such as original yoghurt jelly, apple yogurt jelly and strawberry yogurt jelly. Not only does the packaging take the shape of the actual Yakult bottles, the jelly pieces are also adorably shaped like mini Yakult bottles. The refreshing taste and chewy texture of the jelly make it perfect for sharing with your besties and a great souvenir to bring home.
Banana milk
Sweet and surprisingly filling, you will see these instantly recognizable little bottles everywhere you go. They are great for an on-the-go pick-me-up, and are one of Korea’s must-try food items. Banana milk is not only super popular, but also much-loved, look out for stickers, badges, accessories and T-shirts in Korean shops that let you proclaim your devotion to the fruity, milky drink. Other popular milk flavours include chocolate, strawberry and coffee.
Goraebap
Goraebap means ‘a whale’s food.’ Goraebap is a package of small fried chips with chili seasoning. As the name of the snack shows, the small pieces are shaped in marine animals such as goldfish, squid, shark, and star fish. Even though they all taste the same, you may find a certain shape tastier.
White cookie pepero
Pepero is a Korean brand that is very similar to Pocky, and one of their most popular flavors is the White Cookie Pepero. The inside is a crisp and flaky biscuit stick, and the outside layer basically tastes like a coating of Oreo filling with chunks of the cookie on top. This snack gives you the satisfying taste of your favorite part of an Oreo by making the addictingly sweet Oreo cream the most significant flavor.
Crispy seaweed snack
These are not your ordinary dried seaweed snacks; sandwiched between each slice of dried seaweed are little bits of crispy brown rice. This combination gives off a savory taste from the seaweed and a sweetness from the brown rice, and the crunch makes it super enjoyable to eat while you are watching a movie or scrolling through YouTube. This crispy seaweed snack also comes in anchovy or almond flavors, and each possesses a different taste that blends well with seaweed.
Honey butter chip
This snack emphasizes the honey flavor, so it is much sweeter than it is savory, which complements the nuttiness of almonds. Another plus of honey butter almonds is that the flavor comes from a powder that completely coats the almond, so you do not have to worry about getting your hands sticky.
Chocolate rice cake pie
Rice cake is a staple in Korean cuisine. From traditional sweets like pan-fried rice cakes with red bean filling, to savoury dishes like tteokbokki, rice cakes are widely used in many Korean dishes and snacks. But Lotte puts a modern twist on the classic rice cake by adding chocolate to it. Filled and coated with a layer of velvety chocolate, this snack feels like a hybrid of Choco Pie and Japanese mochi and will be the perfect little treat to satisfy your sugar cravings.
