If you’re a fan of guava or lychee, you’re going to really like these candies. My friend, Anna, gave me a huge helping of the guava candy wrapped in a box last Christmas, so the flavour, to me, brings out a feeling of sentiment and nostalgia whenever I devour one.
I passed it around to a few friends, most of which have never tried guava fruit before, and didn’t like the candy that much. I didn’t think it was an acquired taste, but I guess not everyone will like them. Usually when I’ve got one in my mouth, the people around me know because of the strong scent it gives off while being consumed. The lychee ones are also equally as good, which Anna only discovered a few months ago while shopping around chinatown. Both sell for about $1.99 per giant bag in the downtown chinatown area. Up at Pacific Mall they go for just over twice the price, at $5.99 a bag.
