Bingrae Flaming Hot Crab Crackers: These are delightful crab-shaped crackers seasoned with chili; the heat builds up a bit but isn't nearly as spicy as I was afraid it might be given the packaging. Overall, I would describe the flavor as being close to a hot pot stew with a little bit of seafood. The main draw is really the shape of the crackers themselves. Because they're wheat based, they have a uniform consistency (unlike corn-flavored snacks, which tend to have some more texture), but they are light while still having a ... (read more) 3.0/5.0

Bonchi Ponsuke Nori-Aji: One of my favorite things about Asian snacks is the combination of sweet and savory. These substantially-sized wheat crackers have a sweet, soy-like glaze with speckles of nori. Balance is very good. Texture is similar to a rice cracker, but slightly more dense. Very addicting. For the type of snack it is, it's one of the best I've had. From Japan. 4.5/5.0

Calbee Hot Garlic Shrimp Crackers: Another unexpected take on this classic Chinese shrimp cracker, this time "hot garlic." Ridged crisps are tossed in a tangy seasoned coating that is unmistakably garlic but not particularly spicy. Somewhat reminiscent of a sweet paprika flavor mixed with MSG. Same delicious savory shrimp flavor. I don't know if I like it more than the original, but I don't regret trying it either. 3.0/5.0

Cheez-it Grooves Zesty Cheddar Ranch: The packaging describes it as a cross between a cheez-it and a chip, but it's really like a wheat thin with slight ridges. Has the bold and artificial ranch flavor everyone is familiar with. Flavor lingers unpleasantly in your mouth for a long time after snacking. 2.0/5.0

Cosmos Tteokbokki Rice Crackers: Korean spicy and sweet rice crackers shaped like rigatoni, with the exact opposite texture of the typically soft and chewy cylindrical rice cakes. Tastes of fermented gochujang chili paste, which is a staple in most Korean cooking so will taste familiar if you enjoy eating Korean stews. More sweet than savory but has a mildly spicy aftertaste. This is the second brand I've tried from HMart, and they seem pretty much interchangeable but both delicious. 4.0/5.0
