Japanese Potato Chips
I know my posts have been more about daily life. I'm trying to get used to this blogging thing and balance my posts between business and more casual subjects. Today it's potato chips. I stopped by the local 7 Eleven and came across new products from Calbee (snack foods producer in Japan, pronounced Karubee). You'll notice from the photos, both are shrimp based, one is Ebi Shio (light, salted shrimp) and the other is Ebi-chili (based on a popular Chinese ketchup based shrimp dish). The Ebi Shio is very light, and the other one pretty much tasted like the actual Chinese shrimp dish. I prefer the lighter Ebi Shio, or even the cheap, 7 Eleven brand - thick, ridged and salted. Simple.
