Potato Chips of South-East Asia
Now I love Potato Chips. I have this weakness for them. I'm more than happy to eat a whole bag of BBQ chips, and call that dinner. Going to South East Asia though, I thought I would have to find another snack somewhere. This I actually did, when Evan, the kid from the Halong bay trip introduced me to these sweet sesame peanut candies, which I instantly became addicted to. I needed the salt though. I was craving potato chips. Luckily Potato chips are everywhere here. In Vietnam, Pringles reigned supreme. They were everywhere. Every corner store, every sidewalk vender, there were Pringles. Now I hate Pringles, but I guess they ship well, and they seem to have caught on. So they made do for a while. In Vietnam you could also find other chips, but only in little small bags, that just wouldn't do. Cambodia was a bit better. They had larger bas and an interesting assortment of flavours...along with Pringles. The Potato Chip Mecca of South East Asia though, is Lao. This place is freaking awesome. They have Lay's here, and some other brand, whose name I can't decipher, and the flavours are endless. They have the regular BBQ, and Sour cream and Onion, but they also have Chicken Curry, Crab Curry, Nori Seaweed, Salmon Teriyaki, and my current favourite, Grilled Lobster. I kid you not, the chips taste like grilled lobster, and it is good! Now I just have to figure out a way of getting case home without crushing it.
