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.

Taste of childhood.

The slice is smaller than it looks in the picture.

Tastes Great

got this for my child after he raved about it (tasted from friends), but the size and the taste were both very disappointing. Won't be purchasing again.

It doesn’t taste fresh

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

This is great if you don't quite want gum, but don't want a typical candy either. Very mild flavour, but just enough to feel 'more natural'.

good taste and packaging

There are SO SO delicious!! 4 stars not 5 because this is a stupid expensive price for them.

Why so tiny?! The portion is not like the “host” size. Iykyk. These are ridiculously small.

Ok
