New Chips at Asian Supermarkets - Summer 2023

Went out to some Asian supermarkets today.  It must be summer as a number of the potato chip flavours seem to be festival themed.  I bought a few of these, but there was way too much to buy and try. I have pictures of a few varieties, but there were dozens to choose from. The pictured chips come from China, Hong Kong, and Japan. 

Chinese limited edition, Lay's takoyaki flavour (Japanese battered octopus balls in sauce) chips.

 
Chinese, Lays charcoal pork belly. All kinds of Lay's flavours like roasted chicken wings, cucumber, spicy hot pot, BBQ fish, spicy crayfish, etc.

Chinese, Lay's Taro chips.  I find these a really nice change from regular potato chips.

Chinese limited edition, Lay's Beef Wellington flavour chips.

I saw these Aerial puffed corn chip snacks in Japan and never thought I would see these in Canada.  Gundam, Witch From Mercury tie-in, corn potage flavour.

Gundam, Witch From Mercury tie-in, roasted corn flavour.

Gundam, Witch From Mercury tie-in, salt flavour.

Gundam, Witch From Mercury tie-in, cheddar cheese flavour.

Puffy pea chips that are fried chicken (left) and clam with basil flavour. 

Hong Kong, Calbee oden (a Japanese stew) flavour.

Hong Kong, Calbee takoyaki flavour.

Hong Kong, Calbee, Kimchi Fried Rice Cakes flavour (Korean).

Baby Star ramen chips, Gindaco takoyaki flavour.  Gindaco is a chain of takoyaki shops in Japan.

Baby Star ramen chips, Ace Cook pork kimchee flavour.

Finally, I have never seen this before.  Maple flavoured SPAM.  Not sure I'd like this, but it is kind of Canadian themed I guess.
