Yikes! What the heck? There were also 3 other flavours besides this. Shanghai Crab, Peking Duck, Mapo Tofu. Judging from the simplified Chinese on the box, they're from mainland China, and only come in packs of 12. Each box is smaller than the Japanese small size box and doesn't have the tear strip like the Japanese version. Both front and back are the same. The ingredient list is only printed on the 12 pack They were more expensive too, and didn't sell for a long time. 12 boxes is a big commitment so I hesitated until a sale, and got a pack of the Shark Fin. Went back a few days later hoping to buy another flavour, they were all sold out! Oh well!
The taste is... kind of weird. Yeah, it does resemble shark fin soup, but before all that, loaded with MSG. Hmm... you can also say real shark fin soup is heavy in MSG too. Then a bit of grounded pepper, vinegar, and the slight fishiness of shark fin. A little too salty, though.The texture of the cracker stick feels weird too. Can't really pinpoint it. It leaves a somewhat greasy film in your mouth and sour aftertaste.
