The TASTO 3 Flavours Fish is based on a delicious local delicacy known as “Ikan Masak Tiga
Rasa”. As its name suggest, the three main flavours that forms this tantalizing dish are Sweet,
Sour and Spicy. BJC has carefully combined these tastes to ensure a balanced and unique
combination that creates an amazing fusion taste to delight snack food fans.
The TASTO Curry Crab flavored potato chips, on the other hand, offers curry crab lovers with the
opportunity to obtain the same great taste as the sought-after dish that features delicious crab
meat enveloped in tasty dry curry, all in one perfectly packaged crispy potato chips.
Leveraging on the growing influence of Korean culture led by the “K-Pop” phenomenon and to

Korean Sauce flavoured potato chips will be a welcome addition to placate their taste buds and
also serve as a must-have starters in many Korean diners.
These new flavours are made available with TASTO’s thinly sliced crispy potato chips with “V-Cut”,
the process that gives the V-shaped wave formation on the chip that are designed to maximize
delivery of the flavours and ensure that “snackers” gets the most out of each bite.
