- THE SNACK KING IS BACK! This time I'm trying some snacks from Hong Kong. I'll be honest, it was definitely an...experience. Probably one of the more polarising episodes of 'Snack or Pass' and I apologise to anyone who's favourite snack I may have offended. Not really because snacks don't have feelings but please don't try to find me.

As a Hong Konger I'm really happy that you tried our snacks! Your Cantonese sounds great actually!
Here are some more info/comments on the snacks you ate:
00:58 The cheesey rings - It's a really cheap snack back in the days in our school days.
I believe most schools are selling these so it's our childhood memories.
02:41 The pickled orange peels - It's one of those really traditional snack that originated a long time ago.
The elders say these are good for your throats and there are stories that some singers actually eat them before their shows to brighten up their vocals.
03:41 The QQ gummies - Also it's a really cheap snack back in the days - But the most iconic thing of this is the advertisement for this gummy.
I believe like 80% of the Hong Kongers would remember the tag line! LOL
04:40 The BBQ chips - That was one of my favorite ones when I was small.
My family kept me from eating them since they always said it has a lot of MSG and it's not good for my health.
06:56 The ring candy - I think this enters the school shops later than a lot of the other snacks but still one of the classical ones.
I remember there are ones that are more clear and colorful - The strawberry one is clear pink and looks amazing
08:39 The sugar biscuit - Actually there is a medicine for the kids to take if they suffer from tapeworms and it's basically this biscuit but with the medicine blended with the icing of top of that.
What you are having is kinda like the the same thing but without the medicine.
09:57 The chocolate fingers - This is actually quite iconic because some kids back in the days like to eat them like how the adults smoke a cigarette.
And in fact some people who are trying to cut off smoking ate them to just for the sake of having something in their mouth.
11:25 The turtle jelly - The brand of this jelly is one of the largest chain herbal drink shop and why it is shaped like a turtle is because dried turtle shells were used in making that jelly (allegedly).
It was supposed to cool off the toxins in your body (allegedly) and they make that into a jelly like snack for gimmick or people who just like the taste of that.
12:35 The hot & spicy chip - That's like the most well known local chip in Hong Kong.
I personally grew up with these and now they have potato chips in that flavor as well.
13:23 The rabbit milk candy - These are delicious! They re-branded the candy and there are matcha flavored and red bean flavored now.
14:14 The pickled plum - These plums were usually given free for the customers if you are getting the medicine from the Chinese doctors so you get something sweet to go with the bitter medicine.
15:26 The haw flake - It's small pieces of dried hawthorn mixed with sugar.
if you don't like the pickled plum then the Chinese doctors would give you these to go with the medicine.
17:10 The wafer roll - This is actually the closest thing we have to Oreo before we have Oreos in Hong Kong.
But I never have these when Oreo is available in Hong Kong.
18:08 The dried fish - Since it's actually quite hard to chew.
Back in the days we just put them in mouth and sucking the flavors off the fish when we are having lessons. LOL
Thanks again for introducing HK snacks =D
I believe there are still quite some that you haven't tasted! See if you wanna have a Round 2 anytime later!
the doctors giving these snacks is the best thing, to me lol
I will say all these is a good choice to give a taste of Hong Kong's snack, watching this have my childhood memory back 555
Thanks for the explanation ❤
Same I from hk too
Props to Perth for filming a lot of videos before he left for Japan. Dude puts in the work and we appreciate it 🙏
As a HongKonger , I am here to tell you some of them are not actually snacks and we aren't eat them usually 😂😂😂😂 It is making sense if you don't like it . Thank you for making such interesting video!!!❤❤❤
we don't eat the turtle candies and we can rarely get the ring candy nowaday in HK as well.. 🤣
I had a horrible day at work today, this made me laugh and forget about it all 😂
Thank you so much Perth, I missed you a lot ❤
Perth sucking on the ring pop like a baby was the funniest thing the whole video😂. How are you supposed to look cool eating one of those as an adult i dont think its possible. Every time i watch these i get a kick out of the expressions he goes through as his mouth and brain and processing what he ate. Its like....do i like it...do i hate it....oooh eyes light up i like it!
😂Even though he didn't enjoy the taste watching him sucking on the ring pop like a big kid gave me the lol's & made my day🌞🤟 much love from the US
The ring pop and the biscuits with the bit of icing on them are things that I also had growing up but I’m from Scotland. I wasn’t aware they they were widespread in other countries as well
i actually think that both snack or pass and the numbering system are good in their own way. personally, i like the combination of the two, and was kind of waiting for it tbh
Yeah the combination of the two is good!
Perth: Snacks don't have feelings
Snacks: 😢😢😢
Jk, this was another really fun video, watching you realise you liked the plums was so funny 😂
This is like the opposite version of the Italian snack video XD The editing on this is hilarious and it's always fun to watch your expressions when you taste something and then you change your mind about it mid-chew.
Yay snack king Perth is back! Snack back! ❤ It's fun to watch 😊
perth saying ngao zai pin was so accurate my eyes widened 😭
Im from Germany and i really love your Videos, i use youre basic Thai videos to learn thai 😊 please never change your self your such a good person . 😊 😊 Sorry for the bad englisch .. im not really good at speaking or writing it 😂 .. Have a good day and a Good week 😊
Perth, the way you open snack bags makes me ANXIOUS. LOL
The first ones were one of my favorites as a child in the Middle East. I have forgotten about them till now, but I didn't see them when I visited back in 2018. I would have remembered them if I had seen them. They tasted differently than other cheesy chips, more like a plastic flavor, I guess 🤔
100% with you for passing most of the snacks and I think you are still being too generous with your scores. I had many of those snacks in my childhood; I don't think I ever really liked them. Now, nothing would induce me to eat them again, not even for nostalgia's sake. Truth be told, most are not exactly made with high-quality ingredients. Take the chocolate fingers as an example: they taste awful because the chocolate quality is subpar. I would say, most of the snacks here have not been popular for a long long time; some are actually kind of hard to find now. If you present these snacks to locals in their 30's or younger, I don't think you will see much interest or excitement because they have grown up primarily with Japanese snacks.
These are all childhood snacks! Not necessarily the best but it's the memories.
Burger Rings still around for sure.
The citrus peel tends to be for people on the road or something .
The biscuit W the icing we only eat the icing as a child. Not the biscuit.
龜苓膏guilinggao herbal jelly known as tortoise jelly
That transparent paper is white paper on the big rabbit milk lolly
Haven't you have haw flakes in Australia? They are very Chinese people's childhood memories
Perth's expressions are worth the price of admission 😄
every time i see you i wanna rewatch kinnporsche 😭😭
So happy u posted, aLways makes me feel better ❤
Perth can make anyone’s day 🤧🙌💗
Take a shot every time Perth does an American accent 😂 (or if you want to get drunk really *really* fast every time he says Burger Rings)
I love your videos❤ the music choice is also A+. Greetings from Germany!
Ohh, hawthorn is actually really nice (tanghulu definitely gets a recommendation :D). Always amused to see how many things have like..regional versions/ things that make you go "oh I know something similar" even when you're from a completely different part of the world. That said, those ring pops are a blast from the past.
The title alone had me cackling lmfaooo, haven't heard the word 'funky' in mad long 😂
The ooooo had me dying 😂😂
Love you Peth, thank you for always making me smile💗💗
IM SO GLAD U POSTED FINALLY LOVE U PERTH!!❤
Can we call this session as "snacKING"?
I feel silly for not thinking of that myself 😂
I 2nd this
Pound of HK Pandelions 🥳
Pound ???
@@leriahslife341 Nice 👍🏻 hahahahaha🤣
You find my typo, 💛send you laughter🤣Hahahahaha 🤣
I just can't with the spicy food descriptions and body reactions hahahahaha, totally lose it.XD
I totally feel you. I was grownup in mainland of China and most of the snacks like QQ candy and mandarin skins I ate them when I was young. After I move to Canada, I don’t like local market snacks just feel like the flavors are not my taste. I still buy snacks from Asia market. I guess it’s just cultural difference 😆😆😆
16:07 😂 His viking came out for a sec
‘I don’t LiKe et’
as soon as i saw the ring pop i screameddd. i'm from Bhutan and we used to have it when we were children ALL THE TIME :))
Can confirm they do sell burger rings still! I've only ever seen them in woolies every now and then, but they still sell them!
You can usually Party Size packets in Coles (I'm in NSW)... :)
The snacking is back againnn.I missed you Perth 💜
The way you open packets of chips is coo coo bananas
JDKFLDJSAFSLFJ I CAN'T WITH PERTH'S FACIALS ESPECIALLY THE CHAN PEI MOEI ONE jkfdjslfdj as a hong konger :) im rlly happy u tried these! i don't know a lot of em since i did not grow up there and im srue the snacks i eat are not only native to hongkong but i still recognised a few :)))) love uuuu
8:39 just putting it out there but that costs 105 which is very expensive
You gotta snack with integrity 😂
"The shape is not pleasant to suck on" *my head explodes*
It's a surprise that I found the snack that was so popular back in the 80's in my hometown, Jakarta, is listed as Hongkong snack 😁. It's the tiny biscuits with frosting. It was a staple in every household during the Islamic festive days of Idl Fitr, kids love to eat (only) the frosting. I don't remember seeing it sold in malls nowadays, but saw it in some online stores that sell vintage/childhood snacks. We also have those White Rabbits and Hawthorne flake candies here, they can be found in the Chinatown area in Jakarta. Love a lot the White Rabbit ones but not the flakes 😁
These videos are a highlight❤
Snacks have feelings toooo... so glad i am in HK now so i can find some plum and bring them back for my thai friends...
I just bought a pack of burger rings in Perth WA on holidays last week- they are so so good!
The grape gummies, I'm pretty sure I've had the strawberry flavour and they were really good so I'd recommend maybe trying a different flavour!
The cookies with frosting on - we have those in the UK too! We call them iced gems, they're quite a common thing eaten by children at like picnics and birthday parties 😄 We also have chocolate fingers but ours are made by Cadbury's so they are TOP TIER snacking! Most people will happily eat a whole box of them.
“they’re just snacks, and they do not have feelings” my favourite takeaway from this video 😂
Gosh...Perth...most of them is not even Hong Kong brands or the delicious ones!!!! 🥲 you should have tried the snack pack our team prepared for you at KPTSWT in Hong Kong... did the organiser actually passed it to you? 😭 we spent nights discussing the best HK snacks to put in hoping you guys enjoy it... 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Those are childhood memories...i got so many flashbacks..
the super oook reminds me of malaysian snack called super ring 😭 with the cheese and stuff and fun fact, super ring is actually jennie and jisoo from blackpink’s favourite snack!
With every new snack video he just gets stricter and stricter😭😭
damn my childhood just got obliterated XD
Great vid tho! You should def do a part 2 of HK snacks! There are so many much better snack's out there! Most of the chosen snacks were mainly nostalgic childhood snacks and not necessarily the best tasting HK snacks! Glad you got to try these tho and experience a bit of our culture :)
pooks you are hilarious i love ur vids they make my day better
Some of these snacks are from my childhood. I didn't know malaysia had the same snacks as Hong Kong 😆
You really need a middle ground option between snack and pass for snacks that are ok but not snack. Love your snack king videos!😊
Ao excited to watch it. Perth has the best and sweets personality i hope in yhe future i can fond a friend sweet has him and fun to be around
Another enjoyable video! I'm curious what you do with the snacks you don't like. Do you donate them to family and friends who might enjoy them?
Perth: " It's not a snack. It ain't fun. I don't want to see them again." "😐🙁".
Me:😂😂😂😂😂
Yes. They still sell burger rings. Yum!
i absolutely love the white rabbit candies its my favorite candy ever 🤭 i got so excited when you liked them also
I did an image search of the little black turtles and the description says "Candy Series - Prevents Constipation and Improves The Digestion System". LOL
I love it when he's eating something and just looks horrified.
They didn't have ring pops in Australia? Had them when I was a kid in the US.
omg the biscuit with the icing on top is my childhood snack 😂 we used to just eat the frosting which i think called ice gems? and leave the biscuit behind 😂😂😂
OHMYGOD would you happen to be from sg or msia, or somewhere near?? Or somewhere totally not nowhere close to here hahaha, coz I just found out from the comments that they’re pretty widespread and popular in some of the western countries too lol
Perth, your looking good lately.
You are so sweet. I love watching your videos and practicing my English at the same time. Hello from Brazil. 💖
They changed the texture and shape of the beef flavoured crunch. It used to be harder and smaller with no net-like holes on them.
Love from Hong Kong Perthhhhh😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
0:57 that packaging, not gonna lie, it looks exactly the same as Super Ring in our country, Malaysia.
We used to have the same packaging design for the snack, but now they've changed it.
I should send you Canadian Schnacks
Love the honesty xd
I don't even wanna put this thing in my mouth. But I will, for you guys! -Perth , 2023.
We have the ring pop in united states my grandkids love them
Next time you should try polish snacks and sweets ☺
We also have those in the philippines😁
Chesse ring
Haw
Plums
Sweet fried fishies😍😍😍
Omg we have those little biscuits with frosting on them in the UK GOD THAT UNLOCKED A MEMORY i used to see ppl eat them in school! they’re called like icebergs? here i think (don’t quote me on that i don’t remember 😭)
This is how we can say that every person has different palates.
Those Hk snacks are the same as my childhood snacks in PH. ❤❤❤
Haw flakes were a favourite snack growing up. I thinknthey taste a bit more like apple.
### justice for the biscuit with icing sugar on top
I LUV white rabbit!! 🐇
White rabbits!!!! I was trying to find someone that knew them the other day- guess us Aussie were just lucky!
熱浪一看就很熱氣，確定不喝一杯涼茶嘛😂😂😂
龜苓膏同涼茶都上唔到飛機😂 後來補送返個龜苓糖同佢清熱氣🤣🤣🤣
PLEASE PLEASE TRY SUPER RING (made in Malaysia). Basically the OG of the first snack you tried. And keep in mind that it's not exactly CHEESE tasting. It's the addiction of every single Malaysian (exaggeration but yea)
Awww sad that you didn’t like the haw flakes hhaha, those are one of my favourite snacks!!
Lmao. You really said I'm not about Hong Kong snacks today. Which is alright bc everybody knows the real snacks in Hong Kong is dim sum.
I'm sad the iced gems (what we call them in the UK) weren't more of a hit. Was a big fan of them as a kid.
I am Filipino but white rabbit candy was my childhood. those are amazing
Chocolate fingers looked like a tootsie roll but obviously different texture
Please try American candy and snacks I know you tried American cereal but try the snacks and or candy please
I didn't know there's a JacknJill snack in Hongkong.
JacknJill is a Filipino company so it's surprising. The one Barbecue crackling snack though I don't know if we have that in the Philippines.
JacknJill is quite a common snack brand in Hong Kong. Many potato chips and stuff
Perth you mentioned about liking spicy but your body not being able to handle it, try drinking some milk and eating some bread with it when you can. It helps neutralize / absorbs some of the acidity in your stomach from the spicy food and might help you tolerate it better. Another thing is when eating spicy food, reduce the amount of salt your using and that'll help as well.
Most people think drink water when eating spicy food....that'll land you on the toilet quicker than anything. lol
i actually like those tangerine peels
I really wanted to send some snacks from Brazil to see his reaction 😂😂😂😂
WE NEED THE VIDEO WITH FRENCH SNACKS
Bro legit crowned himself as the snack king tho accurately ☠️👍🏻
I am from Hong Kong and most of these foods are pretty good
Sad now, I bought those rabbit sweets from a shop online without realizing they had gelatine in, I'm pescatarian and knowing they tasted nice makes me sad :(
you pronounced chen pi as Chien-Pao (pokemon🤣)
*grabs popcorn*
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
