#2 black tea flavour 

#3 cocoa flavour

====================

@20231210

the soy milk flavour 

the aroma once opened is already familiar 

n yet juz can't tell what it is

after biting down 

the taste feeling even more familiar 

at first.. the taste makes me think of Chinese almond cookies 杏仁餅

n then.. think of the Philippine milk cookies (that milky n powdery cookie) 

the texture.. n also the size

it resembles the jp egg cookies 雞蛋煎餅

that is good light crispy crunchy 

...

the black tea flavour 

the tea aroma is very welcoming 

the taste same brings back my memory 

n yet juz can't describe it

the texture 

its same nice n crispy like the soymilk flavour

the tea leaves are visible but give no effect on the texture 

...

some good points

first

the biscuits are all baked to be juz right 

found none of them looking too brown n burnt 

while the crispness is consistent for each piece

second

the texture is gd

each bite sized piece is nice crispy 

since it's not too thick cut.. the mouthful of slurry after chewing will not be too heavy or sticky to throat 

nonetheless the biscuits got some chunky pieces after chewing up 

that was like the crunchy chopped up nuts.. or like popping candy (maybe that's the soy pulp?)

third 

the aftertaste is pleasant 

mouth doesn't feel dry 

btw for the black tea flavour.. if chew down slowly the aftertaste is quite refreshing 

...

some drawbacks 

one drawback of this biscuit 

is the packaging 

the opening point is near the center.. but not near the corner

therefore 

it would be hard not to open up hitting the content in the bag

even if try another opening up method 

still can't open it nice neat n tidy

second “no good” 

is that some of the bags got broken pieces 

it would be very likely.. the factory is packing broken pieces into some bags 

coz I found one bag, containing 14 intact pieces n 1 broken half piece 

in no way would the biscuits be broken into pieces after packaging 

or else where's the other half?

 hv soy milk flavour n cocoa flavour 

...

the soy milk one.. juz as written above

(although today got 2 bags broken into crumbs) 

...

the cocoa flavour

once opened.. aroma of sweet chocolate is strong 

n that was juz the typical aroma of choc chip cookies 

the taste juz like every chocolate cookies 

sweet n rich choco flavour 

n yet not too sweet

the texture 

juz same light crunchy like the soy milk one.. as the size n thickness are same

chewing into the chunky bits (those like popping candy) won't affect the chocolate flavour 

...

when compared

the soy milk one is more mild n refreshing

while the cocoa flavour taste a bit more intense

 the soy milk one will be easier to keep on munching

... 

juz a bonus

the kinako soy nuts

the kinako powder coating is nice n sweet

n it juz looks n tastes like typical soybean powder 

then the crunchy layer in the middle.. its juz like other batter coated peanuts

n that's a light crunch.. w/ no distinctive flavour 

then the soy nut 

juz from the look already noticed they're so brown burnt.. not feeling okay to consume 

n though did hv a few nuts that are less brown..

n they're like crunchy peanuts.. quite nutty.. quite crunchy
