Haw Flakes - 10 Rolls (3.17 Oz) Traditional Chinese Fruit Candy

Since moving to another state, it has become difficult to find Asian snacks that I grew up eating. I grew up snacking on these fruit tasting pog shaped snack, but it became less common on stores as I grew up. So, when I saw it on Amazon I had to place an order. It was delivered undamaged and taste just as a I remembered. It wasn't too sweet and doesn't have strong smell. I like that it isn't too expensive because my family did consume it in less than 24 hours.

A childhood snack I love to enjoy every now and again. Brings back great memories and tastes just like I remember!

They brought back so many memories the only thing is they use to be so much bigger.

Yummy

It doesn’t taste fresh

These haw flakes are about half the size of haw flakes I buy at the supermarket. The pictures are deceiving. I would not have bought these if I knew they were this small.

Reminds me of my childhood. Just a good small flavor snack.
