Of Beijing Roast Duck Pretz and Pokka Mango Milk

The people in Beijing have really interesting foods! They have:
Pretz in Sharks Fin flavour, Beijing Roast Duck flavour
Pocky in Oolong Cha and Lychee flavour
Collon in Chestnut and Mango Pudding flavour!!!

I also want (to try)!
Anyway, the flavours are really quite authentic - it really taste like Peking Duck! Just imagine pretz and with a bit of peking duck sauce, and with the aftertaste of duck. The savoury salty taste of the pretz reminds me vaguely of chicken in a biscuit - super msg-ed and salted.
But since I was in Beijing on transit, everything was so frigging ex - its RMB 95 (SGD $19) for 12 packs (they only had big packs) of anything - so I ended up getting only 1 flavour :/ I should have gotten more on hindsight -I really want to try all the flavours! China has such interesitng foods!
and omg did you know that in dprk, they have pokka in Mango Milk - they don't even have it in Singapore.. but of course, it's found only in the tourist shops (you're not allowed to go into their everyday grogery shops) and best of all, guess what?It's produced in Singapore!!!!! - I never knew that we exported Pokka drinks out, especially to DPRK! It's really a revalation to me. But it's really very ex - about SGD $3 for a can. But no loss lah it doesn't taste that good...

POKKA Singapore has license to produce and can drinks for export.... thats why...

did u know the kalamansi pokka drink, with the yellow and white can was invented by one of the polytechnics in Singapore, in conjunction with Pokka..? the very refreshing one..
