Remember I was wiping the drool off my face thinking about English crisps?
Well, I finally got them! All in 1 piece, nothing crushed, all lovely lovely crisps! After admiring them, I decided to try the one I’d never heard of before this. Must have been launched after I left the UK.
Introducing, Monster Munch!
Pickled Onion flavour! The English think of everything don’t they?
Each piece looks exactly like this:
So cute no? I did not even come across one in the whole packet that did not have all the 4 fingers intact. Fascinating! But importantly, how does it taste?
Actually, I felt that the texture was a bit of a disappointment. This is a corn puff snack and has a very airy feel. Its like when you bite into it, its 80% air and 20% substance so you don’t really feel like you are biting on anything substantial. If you like snacks with bite, this is not for you.
Taste-wise, this tastes great! But only if you like flavours like salt & vinegar or sour cream & onion. This is like both the flavours combined. Its sharp on the tongue and salty with an onion after taste. Very nice indeed! Oh and because of the tangy taste, it totally whets my appetite. Weird eh?
Those on a diet had better not flip the pack over. Here are the calorific values of this packet of Monster Munch.
Fortunately, I don’t count calories, so pfhbtt! to calories. I’m having me more Monster Munch!

Yes, I remember the trail of drool you left the last time you did the crisps thing.. Here in Italy, we have something similar, and also the air content as well! I have no idea why corn based snacks of this sort contain so much air! LOL.. Bite into it is like er.. it melts away onto your tongue..
dun care how many calories or whatever they have, I want Monster Munch! loads of crisps here in the supermarkets too, so tempting. I’d better pace myself before I turn into a snack myself… eek!
Those look so yum. Give them a high 5, er, 4 and chomp em on down. Calories? Hey we need energy to blog!
Mmmm… those look awfully tempting. Now where did I put my crisps? *crunch crunch*
How many more varieties of crisps are you test-driving? LOL!
LB: Bah I hate those melt on your tongue crisps. It goes fizz pop right on the tongue! haha
May: Oh ya! Oz is about as bad as the UK. The odd thing is that when surrounded by them I’m not that tempted.
SA: haha so true! *chomps down another pack*
rinnah: About 3 or 4 I think… so except crisps filled post fillers soon haha…
I’m deprived of junk food these days. But I’ll ignore those calories anytime!
GT: Bah who need to count calories… hehe
