Oh wonderful information! We used to snack on the dried plums as children, both the wrapped ones and the dried, salty ones. I also saw a lot of Asian snacks and other food at the Costco in Kona when we were there. What a fun place to be. I'm so glad you two are having a wonderful time!
Lovely to hear from Dorotnhy. Those squid chips look fantastic.
I went to a mui shop when we were on Oahu last year. I just pointed to the "tucks" as we called them, which were housed in the big glass jars of my childhood. So fresh! The owners said they order everything from Taiwan. I am still hording a few in our candy drawer.
Greg has used the word 'tucks' too; I wonder where the name came from. And we haven't seen big jars of them here on Kauai--maybe they are 'somewhere' here, too!
I LOVE those shrimp snacks. You can also buy the dried kind and fry them yourself? is that the same thing. Happy snacking!
Not quite the same thing. The dried ones do puff up, but the seasings are different. Furikake seasonings are great.
Fabulous concept and content! Kept in

I love your photo Greg! It's proof that the delight of our inner child never really goes away.
My son-in-law takes unusual foods to school for his middle school students to try. Even the bravest may have problems with the dried sea creatures!
I like your son-in-laws idea. It can help kids lose their suspicion about new foods.
Maybe it’s because I had eaten a lot of different Chinese foods growing up in Shanghai that I connect with the flavors of so many Hawaiian snacks.
We are having so much fun trying bew snacks!

Fun episode of life on an island.
