Weight Watchers' CARROT CAKE SLICES
Available at supermarkets.
Although Weight Watchers is an American-based international brand, I hadn't had these ones before and am a carrot cake lover so had to buy. These prepacked ones make it convenient to take back as souvenirs.

JOLS
SLEEPY EYE's PICK!
Available at supermarkets.
Although the packaging looks exactly like another brand of hard fruit candy, Jols are actually sugar free gummy pastilles.

ARNOTT'S Biscuits
Available at supermarkets.
Arnott's have always seem to be a 'family's' biscuit choice for locals as they have a wide selection suited for the young ones to the elderly ones. They don't come across as super tasty biscuits at first bites, but they are more like the type that grows on you after a while and that you feel you need to complement your daily cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate...

TWISTIES, CHEETOS & BURGER RINGS
SLEEPY EYE's PICK!
Fun pack available at supermarkets.
Favourite is Burger Rings - was also the more popular one amongst the ones I shared these with. Chicken-flavoured Twisties was also another childhood favourite.

FRIED FOOD SLEEPY EYE's PICK!
POTATO CAKES
SEAFOOD/CRABSTICKS
FRIED/STEAMED DIM SIM
These are not the traditional Chinese 'dim sum' you get at an authentic Chinese Restaurant (and 'dim sum' is only means a category of various types) - this is actually a name of a westernized Chinese meat dumpling only available in Australia.
