Bin-Bin Rice Cracker
Having this Web site has reacquainted me with many childhood favorites, like this Bin-Bin Rice Cracker. I remember that it used to cost 69 cents then, and now it’s 89 cents. I won’t Go There by telling you how many years ago that was; I’ve got to keep some things to myself.
One package has 12 packs with two crackers each inside, making this a relatively inexpensive and more bang-for-your-buck snack.
The cracker is sweet and salty at once, crunchy, and very light. If you want a snack that’s all those flavors and textures, and don’t want to feel like you’re eating much of anything (you feel that way sometimes, don’t you?), then Bin-Bin Rice Cracker is for you.
Ahhh! You are the bringer of everything childhood-food-related! It’s so wonderful and yet kind of surreal. It’s like, wow, other people ate these exact same things too!
Anyway, yes, of course I remember these snacks! (I’ve always thought they smelled like urine though. So weird.) But the crackers themselves are not bad! My brother loves them. I really like the texture of them. They’re light and crunchy.
There are other sorts of crackers similar to this. There’s one that’s drizzled with white stuff. And a kind that’s pale and I think is covered with soy powder. I like that one a lot.
Lian: Well, now that you’ve mentioned that this Bin-Bin Rice Cracker smells like urine, I’ll never think of it the same way again.
I actually have a package of Japanese rice crackers drizzled with white stuff waiting to be photographed. I like them better than this Bin-Bin one because of their overall sweetness. I’d originally thought this item was from Japan, and was surprised to see ‘Thailand’ on the label. I don’t think I’ve had the rice cracker covered in soy powder. Do you know if it’s a Japanese product?

I think it’s Japanese because I saw it at the snack aisle in Mitsuwa (Japanese store). They have a light sweetness and are very soft on account of the powder. Well, but I mean it’s still a cracker though..
It’s actually Japanese origin and Chinese makes it popular, I have never seen this brand in the supermarket shelf in Thailand at all.
Lin: When I originally posted about this item, I was surprised that it’s from Thailand. I just looked at the back of the package, and it states: “Manufactured by Namchow (Thailand) Ltd.; http://www.namchow.co.th; Product of Thailand.” Maybe it’s just for overseas sale?
