The Oishi brand is a true symbol of the Filipino snack market – a company with history dating back to the 1970s, consistently delivering products based on high quality and flavour innovation. These classic prawn crackers are perhaps their most recognizable and cherished product, valued for their authentic, marine flavour profile and incredible lightness. The secret to the success of these crackers lies in their simplicity and the perfect balance of ingredients.

Shrimp combined with salt and the flavour enhancer E621 (monosodium glutamate) create an intense, umami experience that is both delicate and satisfying. The texture is the result of combining starches and an extrusion process, which allows the crackers to achieve an exceptionally low density – they are puffier than traditional potato chips. The Filipino heritage of these crackers guarantees you are reaching for a product deeply rooted in Southeast Asian culture. Prawn crackers are a local must-have, often served in homes and social gatherings. 

Although the ingredients include vegetable oils (coconut and/or palm olein), the addition of antioxidants TBHQ, BHA, and BHT ensures that freshness and crispness are maintained for longer. The product has a characteristic orange-yellow hue thanks to the colourings E102 and E129, which are a hallmark of this classic Asian snack. If you're looking for an authentic, crispy, Filipino snack that is both light and full of flavour, Oishi Prawn Crackers are spot on. Open a bag and feel the Asian vibe in your home!
