Asian Snacks & Desserts: Your Guide to the Most Addictive Treats at Oishii Asian Mart

Asian Snacks & Desserts?

There's a reason Asian snacks have taken over social media feeds across Europe. They're bold, creative, unexpected — and once you try one, you find yourself down a rabbit hole of flavours you never knew existed. At Oishii Asian Mart, the Snacks & Desserts collection is one of the biggest on the site, and it covers everything from Korean street food snacks to Japanese mochi to Chinese spicy bean curd. Here's a tour of what you'll find.

Biscuits & Cookies

Asian biscuit culture is different from what you'll find in a European supermarket. Think matcha cream sandwiches, milk tea flavoured wafers, panda-shaped biscuits filled with chocolate, and butter cookies so light they practically dissolve. These are the kinds of treats that people import from Japan and Korea specifically — and they're now available right here in the Baltics.

Mochi

If you haven't tried mochi yet, it belongs at the top of your list as my top asian desserts. These Japanese rice cake sweets have a soft, chewy outer layer made from glutinous rice, filled with everything from red bean paste to strawberry to ice cream flavours. The texture is unlike anything in Western confectionery — pillowy, satisfying, and surprisingly light. Great as a dessert, great as a snack, and genuinely impressive to share with guests. These are one of the best of Asian Snacks & Desserts!

Jelly, Konjac & Pudding

You've already heard about konjac jelly — low calorie, satisfying chew, great for snacking mindfully. But the jelly and pudding range goes much wider than that. Grass jelly, lychee pudding cups, mango jelly pouches — this section is a deep dive into Asian dessert culture where gelatin-based sweets are taken very seriously. These are the kind of treats that show up at every Asian family gathering, and they're both fun and refreshing.

Latiao & Bean Curd

This is where things get spicy. Latiao — chewy strips of spiced gluten or bean curd — is one of China's most popular snack categories, particularly among younger generations. The flavour is intensely savoury, spicy, and slightly numbing from Sichuan pepper. They're the kind of snack you can't stop eating even when your mouth is on fire. Pair them with a cold drink and you'll understand the appeal immediately. There are one of the best of Asian Snacks & Desserts!

Candies, Gummies & Chocolate

From Japanese Hi-Chew fruit chews to Korean choco pies to Taiwanese milk candy, the confectionery range at Oishii covers a huge spread of Asian sweet traditions. If you're looking for something to fill a gift basket or just want to try something new, this section rewards exploration.

Salty Snacks

Seaweed crisps, rice crackers, shrimp chips, roasted corn snacks — Asian salty snack culture is vast and varied, and much of it is lighter and less greasy than Western crisps. Seaweed snacks in particular have become a genuine crossover hit across Europe, loved for their umami punch and satisfying crunch. These are one of the best of Asian Snacks & Desserts!
