Last month my friend and I did a snack exchange where I sent her snacks from Scandinavia, and she sent me snacks from Oman, which I wanted to share with you.
First off thank you so much Rei for all the snacks and the cat amigurumi for my daughter! Rei makes custom amigurumi, and you can see all the ones she made at @moonchild.om. Now let’s get into the snacks!
Mazoon
The shape of these chips reminded me of Cheetos Puffs, but the Mazoon chips are airier and have a different taste than just cheese. The Mazoon chips were delicious and my mom and I shared the bag (she LOVES cheese puffs) and she loved the Mazoon chips too.
Chips Oman
At first, I thought these chips would taste plain since the shape reminded me of classic Lays, but the Chips Oman actually has a chili flavor which makes them taste amazing! I ate the bag of chips as a part of my lunch one day, and they are probably my favorite out of all the snacks my friend sent me (all the snacks were delicious though).
Al Mudhish Ripples Crunch in Hot Sauce
Like with the previous two bags of chips, these chips are delicious and do taste like hot sauce! The texture is like Ruffles, but I have not had any chips before that tasted like hot sauce, which was a treat. I gave a few chips to my mom, and she loved the flavor too.
Fantastic Oriental Teriyaki Flavour Rice Crackers
These were the first snacks I opened and shared with my parents, and they actually taste like teriyaki sauce, which was unique and tasty. I left the container of the rice crackers out on the counter, and they were gone within a day!
Spinneys Food Arabian Mix
This bag contains a mixture of peanuts, cashew nuts, and noodles with zaatar herbs and spices. I have never had anything with a zaatar spice, so it was great being able to try something completely new. My mom liked the nuts and I especially like the little noodles.
Rei also sent me a box of Kinder chocolates, but my mom opened them immediately and we ate them before I was able to take a picture haha. Thank you again, Rei for all the snacks! They were all delicious and I loved being able to try new things!
What a fun post! Love the idea of exchanging snacks, great way to know about local food culture.

Thanks & yes it’s a fun way to learn about other cultures!
This is such a fun idea. I might do a snack exchange with a friend too. 😀
It is fun!
How fun that you guys did a snack exchange! The chips sound so interesting. I’d love to try it all lol. Thanks for sharing Karalee. 🙂
It was fun & all of it was delicious! 😄
Luckily I don’t eat American snacks. I do buy imported McVities chocolate digestive biscuits from England.
American snacks seem so unhealthy compared to other countries. That’s great you can buy imported biscuits!
Expensive, but yes 🍪
What a fun idea!! Great way to learn about other cultures. Thanks for sharing!
It was fun & I loved being able to try new snacks!
What a cool idea – we should all do more of this to learn about each other’s cultures!
We should!
We have that teriyaki rice crackers here in Malaysia. 🙂 This looks like a fun stuff; exchanging local snacks.
Currently, the popular ‘snack’ in my place is the bubble milk teas. You can see people sip them everywhere!
Oh really? The rice crackers are delicious!
It was fun picking snacks out & seeing what snacks Rei sent me!
Oooo I love bubble tea!
