Bissli BBQ and Pizza Chips

Price:  $0.99 for two bags
Location:  Jack's World

Review:  I got these Bissli chips for two bags for $0.99 cents at Jack's World. I was literally shocked that they were on sale for so much less because I love Bissli chips. They are made from wheat flour produced in Israel. They have a distinct flavor that I cannot get enough. I like the pizza flavor and it actually tastes like a hint of tomato/cheese pizza. The BBQ flavor is a screwy chip shape and it tasted a bit like BBQ too. The chips are crunchy and oily, and my fingers were soaked in grease. I used to eat these all the time when I lived in DC and they would make so happy on the inside.  

However, I found out after reading the ingredient list that the Bissli chips have MSG. No wonder my mouth is so dry and salty after I eat the chips. I have sworn off junk food, so I am not sure I am going to having any more. 

Result: These Bissli chips taste so good, but are so bad for me.  

Sanuki Udon Noodle

Price: $1.99 for 6 pack bag
Location: Fei Long Supermarket


Review: I found these udon noodles on sale and I am so glad for it. I wanted to make a noodle soup and this is a great product. The noodles cook very fast and they are very springy.  They are not dense or mushy - at least when I cook them. You can definitely use these noodles to make a stir-fried dish, but I mostly use it for noodle soups. 

They come in a 6 pack and go straight into the freezer immediately or until you need to use it. I would not defrost it because the noodles turn a different pasty white color. 

Result: So glad I found a new brand of noodles!

Calavo Sea Salt Tortilla Chips

Price:  $0.99 a bag
Location:  Jack's World

Review: I got these for $0.99 cents at Jack's World and they are totally worthy every penny. You can taste the sea salt on the tortilla chip and it is crunchy good. It is not a weak or flimsy chip, and it holds up well with salsa. I think it is even better than the pricey brands of Frito Lay tortilla chips. I think the best part is it only less than 1 dollar for 13oz of chips.  It is such a great deal that I wanted to buy more.

The paper bag is pretty neat and not your typical chip bag. I usually snack on the chip plain during my mid-morning snack at work. I approve of this product.

Result: More chips, please!

Cofresh Hummus Chips

Price:  $0.99 a bag

Location: Jack's World

Review: I found these awesome hummus chips at Jack's.  I love their selection of snacks there.  I thought, "Hmmm, hummus chips are new and different. Something that I've never tried before." So, I bought two bags -Sea Salt and Tomato & Basil flavored. The sea salt did not taste salty at all.  It didn't have much flavor to it. The company Cofresh uses chickpea flour and grinded sea salt to make the chip. The chip itself reminds me of pasta shells, but they taste kind of hard.  It is not as light and crispy as a potato chip. The chip does sound healthy because it is 35% less fat, but it is still kind of greasy and my hands were slightly oily.  The chips are make in the UK and imported to the USA, so it is pretty neat. However, the sea salt hummus chip is pretty flavorless though. The tomato & basil was slightly better with paprika seasoning, but it was still hard to eat.  

Result:  I wouldn't consider buying them for the 2nd time.
