\u596e\u8d77\u798f (Fenchifu)<\/span><\/a> was actually started by a young Taiwanese dad because he wanted healthy snacks for his young children, but most snacks in the market are filled with preservatives and additives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was determined to create healthier snacks, and eventually found a way to make traditional rice crackers without frying them \u2013 rare, for sure! He then expanded on that premise, and set out to use organic Taiwanese rice to create rice crackers that’s low in salt and sugar, with no oil, no flavour enhancers, no colouring, and no preservatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to his innovative creation, \u596e\u8d77\u798f (Fenchifu) has gone on to win certifications from the International Taste Institute too! I can’t wait for my first crunch of these rice crackers, and below are a few of my personal favourites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The traditional rice cake is pretty hard to beat. I’ll be honest \u2013 I hardly say no when I’m offered one. The Fenchifu Classic Butter Rice Cracker (NT$100\/~S$4.70)<\/span><\/a> is made with reduced salt and sugar, so we can appreciate the fragrant rice that’s used to make it. Sometimes, you just can’t beat the classics, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Red Rice Apple Crackers For Babies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I’m a big fan of snacks that are small enough that they can just be popped into my mouth. While they aren’t conducive to snack-related self-control, these Fenchifu Red Rice Apple Rice Crackers<\/span><\/a> (NT$120\/~S$5.70) are a desktop staple. Made with organic Taiwanese rice and organic apples sourced from the USA, they’re sure to be a favourite among adults and babies alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Seaweed Rice Bricks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Rice bricks are yet another traditional Taiwanese rice snack. Fenchifu’s iteration is the Seaweed Rice Brick<\/span><\/a> (NT$120\/~S$5.70). Using brown sugar and Alishan wasabi and black sugar, it’s supposed to be a delightful combination of sweet and spicy. If you’re a wasabi lover like I am, you need to add five of these into your cart right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Curry Rice Bricks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\u596e\u8d77\u798f<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I love curry-flavoured things, and I expect that this snack won’t be an exception. Fenchifu’s <\/span>Curry Rice Brick<\/span><\/a> (NT$120\/~S$5.70) combines traditional Taiwanese rice snacks with a little fusion twist of curry. That wonderful golden colour is caused by the turmeric in the curry powder they use, so you get to enjoy your trans-fat free snack without worrying about any artificial colourings too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Brown Sugar Rice Bricks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I’m getting pretty tired of savourily snacks \u2013 which is why I love these so much. And for those of you going into brown sugar withdrawal from your lack of brown sugar bubble tea, you’re going to love these Brown Sugar Rice Bricks<\/span><\/a> (NT$120\/~S$5.70). But just because it’s sweet doesn’t doesn’t mean it’s sinful \u2013 since Fenchifu is centred on a low salt and low sugar philosophy, go ahead and indulge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Hinoki Cypress Essential Oil<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I know exactly what you’re thinking. How did we get from rice crackers to essential oils? I won’t pretend to understand the thought process \u2013 but I will admit that it’s very intriguing. Fenchifu’s Hinoki Cypress Essential Oil<\/span> <\/a>(NT$450\/~S$21.20) is extra interesting since Cypress essential oil isn’t exactly a common offering. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hinoki cypress trees grow only in Japan and its wood is considered sacred, with a hint of lemon and spice. It essential oil can be used in your diffuser (if you’re looking to snag the Muji one, I recommend getting it cheaper from Muji’s official store on Taobao<\/span><\/a>), in your bath, or applied directly to your skin. It’s supposed to help relax your mood and calm you down on stressful days \u2013 always helpful, in my opinion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Hinoki Cypress Incense<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If candles and diffusers aren’t your thing, this just might be. And I’ll admit \u2013 while unconventional, it’s always fun for me to burn incense. Maybe it’s because I’m finally rebelling against the old “don’t play with fire” adage. Made with only natural ingredients, the Fenchifu Hinoki Cypress Incense<\/span><\/a> (NT$250\/~S$11.80) carries a light fragrance that doesn’t sting your eyes, like other types of incense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
