There are a couple of variations of the wang wang biscuit. One of my all time faves is this - the wang wang snow biscuit (basically sugar coating). My other favourite is the cheese rice biscuit. There are others such as the original one, as well as the seaweed one too.
My personal rating: 6.5/10
Good for: if you're feeling peckish
9. Pola Snack
Where to buy: I'm pretty sure they sell party pack versions of this.. I'm just not too sure where to buy them from! (You can buy it on red mart)

Salty, crispy, and airy. A snack that brings me back to my primary school days.
My person rating: 7.5/10
Good for: when you're feeling peckish
10. Yan Yan
Where to buy: convenience stores, supermarkets, drug stores (guardian, watsons). It's really common and can be found everywhere.

Comes in various flavours (there are also premium flavours such as matcha green tea and tiramisu!), but these 3 are the original flavours. Personally, I like the vanilla, followed by the chocolate, and lastly the strawberry. (I'm just not a big fan of strawberry flavoured things)
You dip the biscuit into the 'sauce'.
My personal rating: 7/10
Good for: when you want something sweet, maybe when you're watching a movie
11. White Rabbit Sweet
Where to buy: supermarkets, mama shops

The 'plastic' wrapping on the outside of the candy can actually be eaten! It's probably actually rice paper (NOT the packaging itself)
Back in 2008 there was the China melamine scare which withdrew the white rabbit sweet and I was really sad because it was a childhood favourite. Now, there is little to no trace of melamine in the sweet!
My personal rating: 7/10
Good for: when you want something chewy yet still be able to suck on the sweet.
12. Kueh Lapis
Where to buy: bakery stores such as Bengawan solo

Not technically a snack, but you can't miss this out when you're in Singapore! It's a moist and dense cake, I guess. There's another type of kueh which is the 9 layered rainbow cake, but that's more gelatinous!
My personal rating: 7/10
Good for: a light breakfast (I like to eat this before flying! Especially if I have to catch an early flight)
13. Pandan Chiffon Cake
Where to buy: bakery stores such as Bengawan Solo

Also, not technically a snack -- but something you can't miss out on your trip to Singapore!
My personal rating: 7.5/10
Good for: a light breakfast
14. Wheel Snack
Where to buy: Super markets (Giant, NTUC, possibly Cold Storage)

Light and airy snack, that is savoury and addictive.
My personal rating: 6.5/10
Good for: long car rides
15. Hebi Hiam Snack
Where to buy: They might sell this in super markets, but they're also available at Bengawan Solo and Bee Cheng Hiang (Chinese-style pork jerky shop)
