Savory snacks and crackers
BeeRose In China works through a selection of Chinese snacks, tasting each one and describing its flavor and texture. She starts with Three Plus Two crackers and comments that they are dry and could use more filling. She then tries a long jing spicy stick, which a Chinese friend told her is made from a kind of flour. Although it is called spicy, BeeRose finds it milder than she expected and considers it a useful snack to take on a hike. Other savory items include Jojo mayor snacks and spicy peanuts. The peanuts are a favorite, with a seasoned coating and a strong flavor.
BeeRose also samples Wang Wang crackers, sugar cube snacks, waguar candy, chili sauce, crab-flavored beans and Mexican tomato chips. Her reactions vary from one item to the next, and she describes the textures as well as the taste. She likes having small snacks that can fit in a purse for a quick bite, and notes when a snack is sweeter than expected. The video moves through the items in sequence, so viewers can follow her tasting and see how her opinions change.
Cakes, egg rolls and cookies
The sweet snacks include egg rolls that BeeRose enjoys with tea, Hello Happy cakes and coffee bean cake. The Hello Happy cakes remind her of New Orleans moon cakes and childhood Mardi Gras memories. She also tries matcha cookies and the Chinese version of Chips Ahoy. The latter are a bit hard, so she suggests dipping them in milk for a few seconds before eating. Peach jelly drink appears near the end of the tasting.
