What snacks to buy from Australia?

-
I was scratching my head thinking what snacks should I buy from Australia for my niece and nephew age between 3 to 7 years old? I went window shopping at Woolworth, Big W, K Mart and Coles, ended up these were the snacks that I have bought: 1 packet of The Natural "snakes" sweets, 1 packet of The Natural sour squirms sweets, 2 packets of Cadbury chocolates, 3 boxes of Shapes Sizzling Summer (only available during summer), 1 packet of almond nuts and 2 boxes of energy bars.

We shared the snacks among ourselves and my favourite was the Freddo 100s and 1000s which consist of 85% of milk chocolate and 15% of 100s and 1000s. This 100s and 1000s are round, made from sugar and colouring. By the way, Freddo is a chocolate currently manufactured by Cadbury shaped like a cartoon frog standing up and dressed.

There were 2 types of Freddo that we saw - Freddo dairy milk and Freddo 100s and 1000s. I never thought of buying this Freddo 100s and 1000s until I overheard a lady talking to her friend about how delicious this chocolate is. So, I decided to give it a try and it was yummy! I just love the combination of the chocolate and the crunchy sugar balls. Besides Freddo, Caramello Koala consist of dairy milk chocolate filled with a flowing caramel centre. Also manufactured by Cadbury shaped like a Koala standing up and dressed.

The Natural "snakes" sweet was good, made with no artificial colours and flavours. The natural flavours include wild blackcurrant, smooth banana, ripe raspberry and juicy orange. It was delicious, juicy, soft, pliant, not too sweet, fun to stretch, tie in knots and fun to play with. No wonder my niece and nephew like it so much. Apart from snakes, there's this sours squirms - snake like shapes with sour coating. Each squirms has two fruit flavours unlike snakes which only have one.

Besides chocolates and sweets we bought some biscuits as well. My good friend who has migrated to Australia told me that this Shapes sizzling summer from Arnotts is only available during summer and it was good. She was right. It was delicious. If you are reading this, thanks for the recommendation. ;)

So if you ask me what snacks will I buy if I happen to be in Australia again, I will definitely grab a few packets of The Natural "snakes" and Freddo 100s and 1000s....

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
