First, Bee Cheng Hiang (BCH for short)! 
BCH makes a barbecued chicken treat. This snack comes in slices and is somewhat similar to beef jerky. The chicken is barbecued, shredded, and then reformed into a sliced square shaped. 
BCH makes a barbecued chicken treat. This snack comes in slices and is somewhat similar to beef jerky. The chicken is barbecued, shredded, and then reformed into a sliced square shaped. It's covered in a delicious sweet sauce, which makes this treat chewy and more like an after dinner snack. Do you see the Singapore merlion on the box? Here's a link to Bee Cheng Hiang's barbecued meats page. Unfortunately, they only ship in Singapore. 
BCH also makes a spicy sweet meat, and when I say spicy, I mean SPICY. I was given two packets of BBQ meat as a gift, and thinking both were of the normal variety, I ripped right into it, only to have my mouth catch fire after a few seconds. They may look the same, but the spicy ones need to be handled with care!
Next, we have a treat that, while I am not particurlary fond of it, seems to be quite popular with the rest of my friends...all 4 of them. 
It's Turkish Delight! This is also a treat that is popular in Singapore. (Just ignore that "made in Australia" print.) And as you can clearly see it is AUTHENTIC, lol. I'm not sure what "authentic" turkish delight looks like, since I've only seen it a couple of times. 
What the what is Turkish Delight, you might be wondering? It is a sweet confection made of starch and sugar and rosewater. It's often dusted with sugar, like in the picture above to keep the squares from sticking together. The consistency is like a thick jelly. I've tasted Turkish Delight in the form of a chocolate filled with rose jelly. To me, it tasted like a Laura Ashley soap. Not my favorite flavor in the world, but I would recommend trying it at least once!
