CHIN CHIN the crispy, flaky and sweet snack could be used with various tastes preferred by people. Everyone’s childhood snack brings back nostalgic tastes and memories. For me it’s an Indian snack known as Shakar para which is generally served in a diamond biscuit shape. I always wondered if this kind of snack would be available in foreign. As said it’s one of the favourite snacks of mine thus my mother thought where would I find this foreign snack in Canada, and packed a big packet of this snack as I moved to Canada. After completing my 7 months in Canada I found that my favourite snack is an international snack which is available in Canada too by the name of Chin Chin by ALL AFRICAN DELIGHTS Founded by Gaelle to know more about her you can visit Meet Gaelle – All African Delights
