Phew! It’s too hot for chocolate this week! But not to hot for biscuits (or ‘cookies’)! So please enjoy this little sampler of adorable (and tasty) Asian biscuit snacks.

  1. Banana Milk Ginbis ‘Dream Animals’ sweet crackers. An amalgamation of ‘Ginza’, a shopping district in Tokyo, and the word ‘biscuit’, Ginbis have been making sweet and savory snacks since 1930.
  2. Cappuccino ‘Koala’s March’ crunchy filled koala-shaped, bite-sized biscuits. Originally launched in 1984 in Japan, these sweets are made by snack giants Lotte (with Cyrillic text).
  3. Lotte chocolate-filled ‘Kancho‘ round printed, crunchy snacks. Kancho features a little kawaii Cupid-type mascot on both box and biscuit.
  4. Want Want ‘Lovely Puff’ puffed crunch with chocolate-flavour filling.
  5. Macha green tea ‘Hello Panda’. These filled biscuit shapes are very similar to Koala’s March, and have been made by Japan’s Meiji since 1979 and can be found in a wide variety of flavours.

Can anyone else recommend to me some tasty biscuit snacks from around the world?
