Clover Chips
Another favorite snack of Sarah Lynn’s that she picked up for me while doing grown-up stuff in the Philippines, like getting married.
I’m not sure why they’re called Clover Chips because they’re not really clover-shaped…
This corn snack reminds me of CHEETOS Puffs, only sturdier, as well as Marco Polo Shrimp Chips. They’re also covered in cheese powder, which may make some people scrunch their noses, but not me. These chips are tasty, although I did have to eat the whole bag to ‘convince’ me.
Hehe, I like the Ham & Cheese Clover Chips best.
Glad you liked them.
I was going to post the other night because our Wegman’s Grocery store now carries Hi-Chews and that Ginger Candy you sent me from winning your blog giveaway! They also have the rice candy, ramune drink stuff and even Kopiko now! Awesome!
I was in heaven!
Haha, they look like shrimp chips. Interesting.
Yummy! I love cheese-flavoured chips. These do indeed look like an Asian version of oddly orecchiette-shaped Cheetos.
Wei-Wei
Sarah Lynn: Congratulations on your Wegmans selling more Asian items! Did that read as weird as it typed? One thing I really like about Filipino chips is the interesting flavor combinations.
Lian: I love your thoughts.
Yeah, these chips do remind me of the (colorful) shrimp chips we discussed before.
Wei-Wei: If you were able to spell the word orecchiette without looking it up, then I’m going to proclaim you the Asian Aisle Spelling Bee Champ. (Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with a trophy, only my admiration.)
And I, too, love cheese. It’s actually my favorite food. I went to another food-tasting event recently, and must’ve eaten like a pound of cheese—around 30 cubes of all different flavors—on my own. My favorites were wasabi, bacon, and jalapeno, respectively. And I totally could’ve returned the next day and done it all over again.
And I had to look up ore (forget this! I’m copy-pasting!) orecchiette on Google. So uncultured am I to have not known what it was! I wouldn’t know how to pronounce it though. Is it Italian?
I love cheese as well! Melted cheese…mmmm…My sister thought it was really funny how much I liked cheese when I tried to microwave cheese that “wasn’t meant to be microwaved.” (In my head, “ALL cheese can be microwaveable!”)
By the way, WASABI flavored cheese?! How was that? Was it hella spicy? Was it anything like eating a Philadelphia sushi roll (sushi with cream cheese in it.)
Lian: Congratulations and good luck on your two upcoming art shows! Very cool.
Orecchiette is Italian for ‘little ears’ (thank you, dictionary.com).
When I was little, I used to ask my mom to make broccoli with cheese sauce because I’d seen it on TV or something. So she’d stir-fry some broccoli and microwave a couple of Kraft Singles in a separate bowl. Um, the broccoli dipped in the cheese sauce didn’t taste like how I’d imagined it would, but now I chalk it up to her not knowing how to cook ‘American’ dishes.
And the wasabi cheese, along with the bacon and jalapeno ones are from Yancey’s Fancy. Such delicious cheeses they have! The wasabi one had a kick, but wasn’t that spicy. It didn’t taste at all like a Philadelphia Roll.
