Double Decker - Prawn Cracker

These came from Qatar but are actually Malaysian.

Double Decker is quite a funny concept, did they start out trying to market to the British market? 
I'm not sure these would go down very well over here.

They are not the tasty prawn crackers you would hope them to be like the ones you get from your local chinese.

These ones fit with the Asian obsession with making crisps taste like fish. Their palettes must be used to this and have accepted these as a good flavour. I personally cannot get around the stench and flavour of fish crisps. It just does not work.

Don't get me wrong, they don't have the power stench of these. But they're still not good.

Aladin - Mango

Again from Qatar, and again - awesome old skool style packaging!

Although from the packet you might think that these are puffed balls, they are actually normal potato crisps, and not bad ones at that.

I know we can moan all day long about amount of crisps per packet, but in this case... there are literally 10 small crisps inside here!! If I fold the pack over, the crisps take up nearly a third of the pack :S

The mango flavour is not amazingly strong but actually works quite well. Works like a good mango chutney. They could definitely up the flavouring though.

Tempted to mark these down considerably for amount of crisp in the pack - but could probably do that for a lot of packs!

So it's 6/10 from me.

Ali Baba came all the way from Qatar, love the packaging!

Very light cheap puffed crisp with tomato flavouring.

The flavour has a bit of spice in it, and needs some sweetness to bring into the realm of a good tomato crisp.


Not overly bad, but they're no tangy toms!

These Came from Qatar but are (obviously) from Oman. These are basically the stick variety of a pack i've had before.

They're a lot wider than the potato sticks we get here..


The flavour is exactly the same so you might aswell just read this review!

Chips Oman - Chilli


I like how they think that putting 'nitrogen flushed' on the pack might make it more appealing!?
