Snack Time

Kelly with a pea snack that was covered with a breading we got in China.

One of the best things about traveling around the world is getting to eat different food that we don't get back home.  We had some really good meals in Japan.  China was hit or miss but though we did get some dumpling type food at the Big Buddha that was tasty.

In addition to actual meals, one of my favorite things to do is go to the local grocery or convenience store and stock up on exotic snack foods.  We like to keep some for our cabin during the days we are at sea but we often eat them right there on the streets.  Here are a few tasty treats we have had in Hawaii, Japan and China. 

Cola flavored Mentos we picked up at the airport in Shanghai.  They tasted just like a fountain drink.

We still aren't sure what these deep-fried sticks were but they were salty and pretty good.  We got them while we walked around Japan.

These are turnovers we bought at the Hilo Farmer's Market.  One is curry beef and the other is taro pork.  They were like a Hot Pocket only really, really good.

I found these pieces of seaweed flavored with Wasabi at a grocery store in Hong Kong.  They are individually wrapped packages and have a bit of a kick to them.  It reminds me of eating a piece of sushi only without the rice and fish inside.  I like them.
