[Review] Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips

Tried these Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips when they were launched alongside Calbee Wonton Flavoured crisp a while ago.


As usual, Calbee crisp bags are big and hard to open, once you open them it is about 20% full so it really baffles me why they don't make smaller bags which uses less material.

When the Calbee Roasted Goose Flavoured Potato Chips was opened, there was a nice roast goose flavour.


You could taste the spices that are used for roast goose but overall the same problem with all Hong Kong savoury snacks, they taste too sweet.

When the Calbee Wonton Noodle Flavoured Potato Chips was opened, there was a pungent prawn smell to it and it tasted quite prawny which quite good.

[Review] Calbee Basil and Black Pepper Chips

I love Basil so I was really looking forward to the Basil and Black pepper crisps by Calbee.
It is quite strange to pair black pepper with basil because basil is an aromatic herbs that doesn't really need other spices to go with it.


Sadly, the black pepper was prominent so I couldn't really taste the basil.
The texture of these crisp were rather hard.

Overall, I would not recommend these crisp but by all means black pepper lovers will love it.

Calbee Jagarico (Jagariko)

Again I can't read Japanese but after googling this, it turned out to be Salad flavour with Carrot and Parsley.
I like these because they have that usual starchy potato taste and you can definitely taste the carotene taste in this but not much of the parsley.

Cute barcode!

Calbee American Buffalo Wings flavoured crisps

The packaging for the Calbee American Buffalo Wings flavoured crisps was exciting so I got a pack.



The taste was really good with a good spicy punch to it, however the thing that let it down was the sour notes of the buffalo sauce, it was non existent as advertised!

Calbee Jagabee honey and butter chips

These potato chip/crisps were quite nice, the butter taste and smell was not too overwhelming.

Calbee Creme brulee flavoured potato chips

Calbee Creme brulee flavoured potato chips/crisps seems rather weird.
I wasn't brave enough to try it.

Calbee Paella crisps

Got the new Paella flavoured crisps by Calbee.
I couldn't really taste any seafood in it though, it just tasted like roast chicken flavoured crisps.

Calbee Jagabee Potato Sticks Spicy Cheese mushroom flavoured

I found out that there was a new Yuzu pepper flavour for Calbee Jagabee Potato Sticks but couldn’t find it anywhere so I ended up getting the Spicy Cheese mushroom flavour.




It tasted better than I expected because I was worried the spiciness would taste weird with the cheese and mushroom but it was not at all spicy.

The potato sticks were really good because you could actually taste and smell the cheesy mushroom aroma, which is similar to that taste you get in burgers.

Calbee potato sticks with Mango Habanero Chili dipping sauce

Thanks to Calbee for these fun Potato sticks that comes with a dipping sauce.
The proper name of this product according to the packaging is:
Calbee potato crunch potato sticks (original flavour) with Mango Habanero Chili Dipping Sauce.
卡樂脆薯條!「芒果哈瓦那辣椒醬」
On the side of the packaging, there is a little introductory about the Habanero Chili.
So when you open the box, you will find a bag of Original potato sticks and a dipping sauce.
 
It was good that it came with the Original potato sticks because it does not have any other flavours that will over power the Mango Habanero sauce.
The sauce was really good because it was spicy with a short burst of spiciness that did not linger followed by a sweet aftertaste.
I found the dipping sauce sufficient for the whole pack of potato sticks and was the remaining sauce after the potato sticks were finished.
I will definitely get these again and hope to see more flavours!!

Calbee Curry flavoured potato chips

Evidently theses are crisps but I don't know why they are called CHIPS in Hong Kong!


Anyway, I found that Hong Kong crisps are harder than the UK ones.

These crisps were rather spicy with strong sage herbs but lacked curry taste.

Calbee Jagabee







These come in mini packs such as above or sealed in cups. The mini packs are packed in tough plastic which you need to rip open as opposed to the normal way of opening crisps.
Anyway, they are shaped like fries and are solid in the centre as well.
They tasted quite nice, however they were were very oily.
