CW Onion Snack: Korean "funions" that are heartier and have a lot more flavor. Texture is airy and a little styrofoam-like, but these snacks have a surprisingly sweet onion taste. 3.0/5.0

CW mini sesame snack: Basic sesame flavored biscuit that's more sweet than savory, but remains fairly neutral nonetheless. I purchased an alternative version of this snack in the past that comes in a plastic container and has a long stick form factor (similar to Pocky). I recommend that version over this one for its convenient packaging, though they taste exactly the same. 3.0/5.0

Golden Island Korean barbecue pork jerky: Like most Asian jerky (this one originated in Taiwan) the meat is covered in a sticky glaze, unlike American jerky, which tends to be dry seasoned. I expected some strong and spicy gochujang-like flavoring but instead got something more sweet than savory, almost like a meek teriyaki sauce. The pieces are also sprinkled with sesame seeds. Ultimately, not as authentic as I hoped it would be. 2.5/5.0

Green Hat sweet corn ice bar: a milky and creamy ice cream base studded with real kernels of sweet corn. The flavor is surprisingly good and interesting, but the texture of the corn is a bit strange to bite into. Overall, the bar is a little bit on the sweet side, but it's a rich treat worth trying. 4.0/5.0

Haioreun Mellow Pumpkin bun: A surprising and interesting take on a sweet bun. Filled with sweet pumpkin (and similar in texture to red bean paste), the filling has a clear pumpkin flavor that also tasted a bit like cantaloupe. Altogether, though, the filling is 2x too sweet. The bun steams up well and is soft and neutral. 2.5/5.0
