I thought it would be fun to try some foreign Lay’s Potato Chips that I can’t buy here in America. Thailand seemed to offer the most flavors at reasonable pricing so I tried a few bags. I liked that these are extra small snack bags. They only contained HALF OUNCE of potatoes chips in each bag.

The first one I’m trying is the Salted Egg Flavor.

I open the bag and take a whiff…..It smells sort of like an egg yolk.

I taste a chip.

It has a nice texture. It kind of taste like it was rubbed with an egg yolk…..It’s not bad…but it’s not a chip that I crave….But not bad…so that’s a win! (Ok-Good)

The back of the bags do have the ingredients in English but they are very hard to read.

Now I’ll try the Extreme Hot Chili Flavor.

I open up the bag and spill some out. These smell kind of good….sort of cayenne pepper. I eat one. YES very hot but it doesn’t hurt or sting. Yipes they do build with heat…..still good…not bad…another win. (OK-Good)

I was saving the Sweet Basil for last because I thought it would be my favorite since I love sweet basil.

I open the bag and take a whiff………I was expecting basil but this isn’t basil…….These smell strange. They smell like burnt cake. YUK! THESE ARE REALLY AWFUL! They don’t even taste like food. Sorry I can’t eat them. (The BIG SUCK!)

Just like American Lay’s the flavors go all over the place – from surprisingly good, good, ok, not so great and the big suck!.

Those were my FORKING Thoughts on Thailand Lay’s – Salted Egg, Extreme Hot Chili Flavor and Sweet Basil.

I was ordering some hard to find pantry items from yummy bazaar and came across some small bags of unusual flavors of Lay’s Potato Chips. Here are the Seaweed Chips. It came in a one and a half ounce size bag. Here’s the back of the bag.

Here’s a closer look at the ingredients.

Not too many ingredients in these potato chips. Potato, vegetable oil, sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce powder, seaweed flakes, seafood seasoning and spices.

I open the bag and take a whiff.

Not much of an aroma….Just smells like potato chips.

Spill some out.

They are speckled and are extra thin and very delicate. They don’t feel very powdery like many of the flavored chips.

At first bite they have very little flavor but they grow with flavor. They taste just like seaweed…it’s like you are eating a thin sheet of nori that is firmer and crisper than usual. They are overly easy to eat because they are so thin and delicate. I think these are the thinnest chips that I have ever eaten.

You get far more flavor in your mouth when you let the chip dissolve in your mouth. You get some sweetness, the soy sauce flavor and other very subtle flavors in the background from the seaweed.

These chips are actually pretty good.

Worth a Fork if you like seaweed and potato chips.

I came across these Chinese Made Lay’s Potato Chips at one of the Asian Markets so I picked them up to try. The ingredients look safe to eat and I don’t think that there is any actual chicken in the chips.

I was surprised to see Sichuan Pepper as one of the ingredients.

Here is what the back of the bag looks like.

I open up the bag and take a sniff.

This bag isn’t too full.

It smells odd………something like instant soup.

I pour out some chips to try.

They have a powdery exterior and big deep ridges.

I taste one.

It does have a sort of roasted chicken kind of flavor but it is too sweet. It’s more sweet and salty. The chips in the picture are not spicy……But….If I taste a crumb from the bottom of the bag it taste different has more flavor and is spicy. The bottom of bag crumbs are more spicy and soupy tasting and the chips towards the top are milder with a more roasted chicken flavor. These are one of the few chips that make my hand smell. My hands smell like instant soup.

The Chinese Lay’s Hot Pot Flavor and the cucumber flavors were much more interesting and maybe better than this roasted chicken wing flavor to me. I recommend trying those flavors before the roasted chicken wing flavor. It certainly isn’t bad…..but I wouldn’t try this one again.
