Spicy Strips - Spicy Gluten Latiao, Chinese Special Casual Snack Food, Made From Wheat/Chili/Spice, Low Sugar and Low Calories, Best Vegan, 102g (Pack of 3)

As soon as I opened the bag a strong almost shrimpy smell filled the room. even after I sealed it in a plastic bag the smell continued. They aren't spicy at all and have a stronger after taste then taste in general, it tastes how old sea food smells and is very oily. The texture is chewy and spongy which I believe is intended and pretty satisfying, but unsettling paired with the taste and smell.

I liked these, they have a very spicy kick to them, the texture is interesting, so if you're not good with textures, they're not for you. They've got a sort of tough chew to them (if you watch the same videos on social media I have, you know they give a pull to tear off some). The smell is strong-ish, and unusual to Western tastes, it makes me think of a sesame, peanut buttery scent, combined with the chili oil scent, this can seem strong to anyone not used to it. The taste is spicy. Now I know why those little kids were sucking their breath in to cool their mouths. Chewing on them, they have an almost spongey texture that releases an oily juice, that has all the spice. These aren't meaty, they're not like a snack stick, these are made with wheat gluten (hence the nutty scent) and is basically soaked in chili oil. So, if you like any of those things, you might enjoy these.

Nasty does not taste good at all tastes very stale and it makes you tongue sting I don’t recommend at alllll!!! It smelled very bad like it had so much preservatives the texture it was really chewy and very sweet and spicy but like it made your tongue sting for a good while it wasn’t pleasant at all!!!

The texture is amazing, but they aren't as spicy as I like my Latiao. The flavor is great, but they seem lighter in flavor than the usual Kiss Burn that I eat. That being said, they are still a wonderful snack. You'll want to have a ziplock bag handy if you're not prepared to eat the whole bag though, as they don't reseal.

It's very spicy. Like if white people level spice is level 2, this is 6. The texture is chewy but the most interesting thing is when u bite down and start chewing u get a mouthful of oil/flavor juices. It's like if u took a spicy cheeto and made it chewy and added oil to it. Can turn a lot of people off I think. I can taste sesame, clove, pepper, chill, garlic. Worth spending the $10 in my opinion to just try something unique.

So I've boughton from this exact listing before but I had chose the 78 grams, 2 pack. The photos that showed up and still shows up it's in a white package, when I got that one it was red. But I loved the spicy level and the texture. I decided to reorder it again but I chose this one. And at the time of purchase the photo displayed to me was the RED packaging. So I figured "oh they probably updated their packaging! Which is why one listing showed white and the other red. What I got was a clear bag. So I went back though my orders found the first time I ordered it clicked it and sure enough same listing. I figured its probably the same...it wasnt there was no heat! There was hardly and spices or flavor to it, my husband who can't even take one BITE from a Buldak cheese ramen was able to finish it all. I thought because it all in GRAMS and not listed as DIFFERENT BRANDS I thought I was getting the same delicious snack just in a bigger sized bag. Like you know snack size, normal size, shareable size, family size and Texas sized. Ruined my plans at the time so thanks and maybe fix your listing if it's several different brands, so people can make sure to buy the correct spicy level. Would give it just the 1 star, but I did like what I got the first time so a little thank you star.

This did not have the best flavor. I’m pretty open to trying new things but the smell is very fishy and since it’s very oily it ca stain and stick to places for some time. The sodium on theses are through the roof. Overall I have taken a few bites and it’s ok the texture is chewy and oily and definitely taste better than they smell just not my kind of taste. Very similar oily texture to chili oil

These are SPICY. Lemme start with that. I can usually handle a good bit of spice since I frequently eat Asian dishes and snacks but my god these are awful. My local Asian store was out of Latiao as was I and I LOVE it so I figured I’d try some off here. The bags are smaller than I’m used to so I was sad off the bat, but immediately upon opening, I’m met with this gross smell that was very off putting. These don’t smell or taste like any of the six brands I’ve had or am used to. Spice aside, the flavor would make me not eat it either. But I couldn’t even finish a single stick because of the spice!! I’m so sad :( these are going straight to the trash. These are, however, actual Latiao. The texture itself is what it’s supposed to be, the sticks are thicker than normal but it’s still chewy and explodes with the greasy flavor as it’s meant to. Just be wary of this brand! I’d rate it nothing if possible since I’ve basically just wasted money.
