So, this isn't a jab at other cultures or meant to be racist or sexist or culturist or anything like that, but I find some things from some different countries to be strange or unusual to what I am used to. So, the title isn't meant to offend anyone, just state an opinion.
First up, melon cakes:
These say that they are the melon taste with a spongecake and I was expecting something, well, more .....spongy. What was in the package, was a hard cookie, like a meringue cookie. It had the airy-ness of a sponge cake but was hard and crunchy. They have that taste of the Chinese melon cake and taste just as sweet. It was the dry crunch that I was not expecting. They are a 3 out of 5 for me. Make sure you have a large glass of water nearby.
Found in the Asian aisle, I had these Sunflower crackers. They taste like a slightly sweet cracker with a cheap mango creme in between. The creme is reminiscent of the sandwich wafer cookies. They are good but not super good where I would eat all of them: a 3 out of 5 for me.
Now the last thing I tried was one of Korean origin:
Yeah, like so many Asian things, I guess this is the traditional version of an energy drink. This drink, tastes like bad ginseng, almost a strong root/tuber flavor. It tastes like the stems that are on a parsley plant with an aftertaste of sugar. It was sweet but as I thought about taking a second sip, I still tastes the first in my mouth and chickened out. I think this gets a 0 out of 5 for me. Sure, ginseng is supposed to be a near magical herb for strength and vitality, but I'd rather take vitamins every day than to drink one of these.
