Hi, I’m Xenia.
Hi, I’m Chuan
and this is TSL Reviews!
So when I was in Australia,
there was this really weird one.
Because Guardians of the Galaxy was coming out,
it was just called blue-
space blue or something.
So you take the chip and you move it around,
the different colours appear.
Oh my God!
Yeah, but it just tasted a bit sour
like a bit of cheese or something.
Oh I’ve tried so many different chips,
like the o ah jian (oyster omelette) chips,
laksa, chicken rice,
they taste so good.
Oh my God.
You nailed it.
Today, we’ll be reviewing more insane flavoured chips.
Except this time, they’ll all be drink flavoured.
Basically, this is Guinness flavoured chips.
Thick cut, hand cooked potato chips.
Hand cooked!
They said no artificial flavouring.
I’m guessing that they just pour the beer.
Instead of oil, they use beer to fry the chips.
It actually has the Guinness logo on it.
It looks legit.
It means it has been verified by Guinness.
I’m so excited to taste this!
Our producers bought this from Liang Court,
at a stall called Mediya
and this costs about $5.80, which I think is pretty decent.
It’s beer leh, one pint how much already.
Yeah a pint is like $12,
so this is about half the price,
but it depends on if this is going to get you drunk.
It looks good!
It looks a bit chao da (burnt),
but it’s not chao da when it is seasoned.
It looks like it is very well-seasoned.
It doesn’t smell like Guinness.
Ya, not at all.
It smells like potato.
It smells like the Kettle potato chips, the thick one.
It actually is a little bit thick,
it’s quite firm.
Cheers.
Oh! You know how Guinness has like a soya sauce flavour?
This tastes like that soya sauce flavour from Guinness
but there’s no alcohol taste.
There’s this bitter aftertaste that resembles an alcoholic drink.
I think the only thing that stood out for me
is the texture of the chips.
The mouthfeel is amazing, it’s very crisp,
the crunch is amazing.
Because it is so thick,
it feels like it will fill you up.
There’s a bit of burntness, like it’s charred,
which is good.
Mm, which I like.
I think for me it’s a 3/5 because I really like the flavour.
It’s quite well-balanced.
It’s salty but it has this bitter aftertaste.
For me it’s a 2.5/5 because
I don’t think I would pay $5.80 for a packet
and really it doesn’t taste like Guinness.
I think if I were to spend $5.80 just to buy this pack
and it doesn’t taste anything like the Guinness that I want,
I’d be angry.
If this was at a party and somebody opens the chips,
I would eat it.
I would legitimately go for this chip
over your other chips.
Okay, let’s move on to the next chip!
Tada!
So we got Cola potato chips.
You can get this at Emporium Shokuhin
which is at Marina Square.
It’s this Japanese supermarket where you can get a whole bunch of stuff,
and you can get Korean products from there as well.
This costs about $2.60,
which I find quite expensive for such a small bag of chips.
This looks a little bit like apples that have been left out for a bit too long
and they get a little of the browning effect.
Like oxidation.
But it does smell like coke.
Mm! Like the fizzy cola red packet sweet.
Cheers.
Old school.
When you first put it in your mouth,
it tastes like cola, it’s legit.
But after you start biting,
the taste transforms into something else.
I think it’s because the sweetness disappears,
so you’re only left with the taste of the cola
and that’s a bit weird.
I’m going to rate this, upon 5 right?
0!
I'm so sorry, 0.
There is no occasion where I would buy this.
Unless it’s for an insane flavoured chips episode.
Cider potato chips!
The packaging is a can, no apples.
They don’t really want to promise you anything.
Snack, funny potato chips, cider flavour.
Wow, when I read funny, I’m a bit scared now.
I’m nervous now.
PD: Do you know what cider means? Cider in Korean.
PD: You know it’s like Sprite right.
Oh!
But it’s okay! I love Sprite, so,
Sprite potato chips let’s go!
Wow it looks so clean!
It’s like a sterilised potato chip.
It looks like apple slices.
Even the edges have the same colour.
It smells a little bit like Sprite,
a little bit like soda pop.
Oh my God, can we go?
I’m so excited.
Cheers.
Tastes a bit like soap?
Oh my God so interesting!
No, it’s not sprite but it’s something that I drank when I was younger,
as a child.
Oh my goodness I’m so excited but I don’t know what it is.
It’s some soft drink.
There’s like a weird taste and then it becomes familiar again.
It feels like you know,
when you were younger,
you buy this red little can from the mama shop.
Overly sweet but a little bit gassy.
For this, the flavour just comes off right away.
Sadly, I’m not a fan of the texture of the potato chip.
This potato chip is too pampered.
It has to go through a bit of charredness and stuff
so I’m going to give this a 1/5,
very sorry.
I’ll give this chip a 1.5/5.
It’s not as crispy as the Guinness one,
or like any other regular potato chip.
It’s too thin.
I feel like if they fry it for maybe 10 seconds more,
it’ll be so much better.
Tada!
This is something that I bought,
because I thought it was pretty cool.
This is from Korea also,
but I think they sell it in Singapore for probably about $2.
Remember we were crazy about the yogurt almonds from Korea?
Yes, they were so good!
Yogurt gummies, oh my God.
When I was in Korea I tried their yogurt ice popsicle.
It's amazing, I loved it!
It’s a little bit sweet, a little bit sour,
not too gelat (greasy),
a bit milky flavour.
So again these chips have been very pampered.
It tastes like the gummy but it has a lot less flavour
as compared to their other yogurt products.
It’s a lot milkier than I expected.
I think I’m just really weirded out by the fact that it’s a potato chip
but it’s not salty.
Upon 5, I’ll give this a 1/5.
I’ll give this a 1 also.
Can I revise my score for the Guinness chips?
For me (the Guinness chips is) 2.5.
(now) Guinness chips is a 4.
Guinness chips is so much better now.
I actually crave for the Guinness chips now.
Ok so at the start we had the Guinness
and it was meh.
But we tasted the rest and comparatively the Guinness one was the best.
The chips are damn good!
Each chip was thick enough to have that crunch
and the flavouring was quite good also.
It’s just that It’s really not Guinness.
The cola is my least favourite.
Same.
It was just like chemicals, very artificial.
I think drinks should be drinks.
I think for drinks,
it’s very hard to imitate the flavour
and the fizziness.
