Brand: Boy Bawang
Style: Garlic and Lechon Manok (Roasted Chicken)
Origin: Philippines
Type: Corn Snack
Flavor: Mixed bag - garlic wasn't very flavorful but the lechon manok was very savory, salty, and addicting!
Verdict: Approved!
People in my past have often made fun of me for my love of Corn Nuts. I'm a bit scarred by it and now rarely mention them and never dare to eat them around others. It's tragic! I know they can have a strong smell and they're very crunchy, but so help me, those little nuggets of deliciousness are just too good to resist!
Today's review isn't Corn Nuts, but I grabbed these Boy Bawang corn snacks the other day hoping that they would be similar, just with new and exciting flavors, like lechon manok, or roasted chicken. How did they stack up? Well...I tried the garlic first and it wasn't awesome, but it wasn't terrible. It just didn't really taste like garlic, despite smelling like a vampire's worst nightmare! Very weird...I still don't quite understand how that works. The lechon manok flavor, however, was freaking DEEEELISH! So addicting! I couldn't stop eating them.
How do they compare to good ol' American Corn Nuts, though? I think they're better for one main reason: they're slightly less crunchy and don't make your teeth feel like they're about to crack and fall out!! Awesome!!
Thumbs up for Boy Bawang! I'm looking forward to trying more flavors in future reviews!
