- Want Want Senbei Rice Crackers. Something we definitely want (want) as a snack are the senbei rice crackers. These light, airy biscuits are coated in an addictively sweet and salty powder.
- Dried seaweed. Who needs lunch when you can just eat 20 packets of dried seasoned seaweed? That's how difficult it is to stop eating these. It helps that the seaweed snack is ridiculously cheap, and comes in a convenient string of packets that you can fold up and carry everywhere.
- Pola Snacks. These hollow snacks are best eaten by the handful for maximum crunch and saltiness. That's just our opinion – some people also love to bite the cracker in half before munching just to see the hollow insides.
- Dahfa Dried Fish Fillet. A potentially polarising snack – after all, what's savoury and delicious to one person could just be plain fishy to another. Nevertheless, Dahfa dried fish fillet gives us major throwback vibes.
- King of Snacks. King of Snacks is undoubtedly king when it comes to its wide selection of retro snacks and toys. You name it, they have it. From wall-climbing sticky Spidermen toys to handheld water games and magic pop candies, it truly is a treasure trove for everyone seeking a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

- CookiesTalk. Also located in Ang Mo Kio is CookiesTalk, another retro snack store selling biscuits with over 200 varieties. This well-known store is definitely one of the OGs, having been in operation since 1978.

- Iced gem/Ais gem biscuit. A hit for generations, a coloured meringue icing sits atop this simple iced gem biscuit. Most famously manufactured by Khong Guan biscuits locally, but is actually popular in many parts of the world.
- Tutu kueh. This old school tutu kueh packed with shredded coconut or peanut took forever to make as it’s steamed upon order, but it was always worth the wait.
