Feb 7, 2023 · Before there was Lay’s and Hershey’s, we had potato wheels, cheapo M&M’s and more—snacks that made up the best parts of our childhood, and are relics in yours. They’re few and far between these days, so check out these old-school snack stalls in Singapore before they’re gone.
- Houten Chilli Tapioca Chips. Here’s one for all the kids who could take spice – the Houten Chilli Tapioca Chips. This chewy snack provides a yummy balance between sweet and spicy, perfect as a midday snack.
- Coris Fue Ramune Whistle Candy. Image credit: @tomatostore1 via Instagram. If your attempts to whistle just end up puffs of air then the Whistle Candy might be of help.
- Dahfa Dried Fish Fillet. Dahfa Dried Fish Fillet might have a strong smell, but it’s only got a mild cuttlefish flavour. Although the strips are hard to bite, they’re very addictive with their unique texture and slightly salty taste.

- 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.

- 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.

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.
