Available around the world from a number of brands, the original Thailand Choki Choki was the ultimate dessert for kids. Today, they’re more of a party favor but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy these on your own. What sets them apart from regular instant noodles is their crispy, crunchy consistency. Just imagine these as crushed up instant ramen. 20) Ramen

However, the Kasugai hot peas were always our favorite with just the right amount of wasabi spice level. There’s no one specific brand that makes these. You can instead find them in a supermarket or at your local Asian market. You can get these in a chocolate as well as a strawberry filling. We recommend buying a box of both and mixing them up in a bowl so that each bite is a surprise. 12) Yan Yan Blitz in the food processor until it comes together like a dough, you may need to add a little water.
