Mkostlich Latiao Spicy Strips, 1 Pack Latiao Spicy Sticks, Chinese Spicy Snack Food Da Dao Rou, Hot Strips, Fragrant Spicy Flavour, Individually Packed, 250g/8.81oz (1 Pack)

These are so tasty! A few months ago, I bought a different brand (stick ones) cause of TikTok snack videos and I did not like them; they tasted like Knorr chicken bouillon powder to me. BUT, these are yummy. They're spicy, yet have a slight sweetness to them. The most notable spice is perhaps cumin, but I don't find it overpowering. It's definitely an acquired taste for those who aren't used to heavy spices. They also come individually wrapped, which I really like. I will definitely be purchasing another bag when this one runs out.

Tastes so cheap and unpleasant. Like the poor quality Latiao I have had when I was in primary school in China, maybe even worse.

They taste like spicy ramen and made my stomach hurt i didn’t rlly like them that much but you might it’s literally the texture or a sponge lmao but they were okay gave me like heartburn and stomach aches don’t eat them if you have a sensitive stomach shouldve known

I have tried a lot of these brands on Amazon, this is the best one so far. Individually packed and perfect flavor and texture.

I thought it was going to be good but the taste and smell was not all that great, but texture was good but not pleasing for me.

Not a good product

I didn’t like it at all. To me, it tasted like oil and really old seasonings.

Latiao is an interesting snack that many of you are probably curious about. So I'll try my best to describe what it's like.Taste: the taste is like a sweet, spicy chili oil with plenty of Sichuan peppercorns. There's some mala spice, cumin or star anise maybe?Texture: think beef jerky, but instead of dry jerky, the jerky is completely oily. As a result, it's easier to chew, but is still chewy. Some people mentioned it's like biting into a sponge, and I can see what they mean. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.Based on the above, I can't recommend it for everybody, but if you're like me and you wanna try interesting stuff, I say give it a try. Don't expect it to taste like Hot Cheetos or something, the flavor is, as said above, like Sichuan chili oil.Four stars because it isn't healthy and I wish a company made healthier versions with a lot less salt.
