You can’t be in Australia without ever trying a Tim Tam.

Tim Tam is an Australian chocolate biscuit made by Arnott’s. It is famous in Australia and you can always find it in a supermarket. It tastes sweet and crunchy and would taste even more delicious if you dip its end into milk or tea.

If you like green tea, you need to try this matcha chocolate pocky. The matcha cream coating melts immediately in your mouth and would not be overly sweet. It is convenient to eat and can also keep your hands clean.

These chocolate wafer cookies are definitely on our favorite list! They have a strong and nice chocolate flavour which is delicious and they also contain no artificial flavours, no colourings and no preservatives.

Most people love waffles and if you’re one of them, this is a snack that you should be definitely putting on your to-try list. It has a good balance of butter and sweetness and overall is quite delicious when served with a cup of tea or milk.

Meat Floss Cake became very popular in China since 2013. With a crispy layer on the outside and meat floss filled on the inside, this snack is most suitable to have when you are feeling tired and hungry during study.

Pineapple cake is one of the most famous snacks in Taiwan. The most ideal pineapple cake would not be too sweet and must possess a strong pineapple flavour. With a cup of tea, you can enjoy both of them in your studying time.

Chocolate

Research has shown that chocolate can make people feel better so why not eat a piece of chocolate to let you feel better when you are worried about your assignments?

Once you try this biscuit, you will love it. The outer layer has a dark chocolate flavour and the inner is made by delicious green tea. The mixture of these two flavours has a fantastic taste that is mildly sweet and a little bitter.

Walkers’s shortbread is very famous in the US and you are also able to buy it in Australian supermarkets as well. Although it is made up of a lot of simple ingredients, altogether it combines to create a taste that is both slightly sweet and quite buttery.
